A Marine Traffic Flow Model [PDF]

TransNav, 2013
A model is developed for studying marine traffic flow through classical traffic flow theories, which can provide us with a better understanding of the phenomenon of traffic flow of ships.

Marine Traffic Real-Time Safety Index [PDF]

TransNav, 2014
To reflect the safety degree of marine traffic in real-time and intuitively, this paper put forward a concept of real-time safety index of marine traffic, established marine traffic real-time safety index system, and constructed a real-time safety index ...

A spatially explicit risk assessment approach: Cetaceans and marine traffic in the Pelagos Sanctuary (Mediterranean Sea). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Spatially explicit risk assessment is an essential component of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), which provides a comprehensive framework for managing multiple uses of the marine environment, minimizing environmental impacts and conflicts among users.

A Molecular Dynamics Approach to Identify the Marine Traffic Complexity in a Waterway

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
With the rapid development of the shipping industry in recent years, the increasing volume of ship traffic makes marine traffic much busier and more crowded, especially in the waterway off the coast. This leads to the increment of the complexity level of

Preliminary Inter-comparison of AIS Data and Optimal Ship Tracks [PDF]

TransNav, 2019
Optimal ship tracks computed via the VISIR model are compared to tracks recorded by the Automatic Identification System (AIS). The evaluation regards 43 tracks in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, sailed during 2016-2017 by different bulk carriers.

Spatial Distribution and Encounter Rates of Delphinids and Deep Diving Cetaceans in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea of Turkey and the Extent of Overlap With Areas of Dense Marine Traffic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine traffic has been identified as a serious threat to Mediterranean cetaceans with few mitigation strategies in place. With only limited research effort within the Eastern Basin, neither baseline species knowledge nor the magnitude of threats have ...
