Imagine a high-tech safety net for ships that acts like a super-powered set of eyes. It combines radar and sensors to spot everything from hidden rocks to swimming whales in real-time. Instead of the captain guessing, the system suggests the safest path to steer, similar to how a smart car avoids a crash.
High rates of maritime accidents, including collisions and groundings, cause severe economic loss and environmental damage. Navigators often struggle with data overload and slow decision-making when facing obstacles.
A Decision Support System (DSS) that integrates LADAR and AIS data to suggest COLREG-compliant maneuvers. A digital Gamified Training Module was also created to simulate these scenarios.
If you are a cargo vessel operator dealing with high accident rates and COLREG compliance—this project developed a Decision Support System (DSS) that provides real-time, compliant steering suggestions. This reduces pressure on navigators and lowers the risk of costly collisions.
If you are a conservation agency dealing with vessel strikes on whales—this project developed optimal-tuned pingers to alert cetaceans of approaching ships. This prevents wildlife collisions using sensor-driven detection.
If you are a salvage firm dealing with lost cargo—this project developed mathematical models to predict container drift trajectories. This data is fed into a Navigational Hazard Database to make recovering lost containers faster and easier.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost details are not provided.
The project is developing a Decision Support System (DSS) and testing it with 11 partners across 8 countries, indicating a move toward industrial application, though full scale is not yet confirmed.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified.
It integrates multi-sensor data from both proprietary LADAR sensor suites and off-the-shelf sensors already installed on vessels, alongside AIS data.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2025-08-31.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with a 64% industry ratio, comprising 7 industry partners (including 5 SMEs) and 3 academic/research entities. This strong commercial presence across 8 countries suggests the technology is being developed with direct market application and commercial viability in mind.
