Resilience in Maritime Transport for the Next Decade

Abstract

This vision paper covers the increased complexity of navigational environments and presents an innovative navigation system that can support the human in this task. Shipping in general also requires a mean to support navigators reduce the risk of accidents due to smaller passing distance or a shorter reaction time. An innovative approach called Velocity Obstacles might help the operator to avoid intruding into an object’s protected zone by visualizing the problem space in relation to the maneuvering potential of the Own Ship.
