Marine Traffic Engineering—A New Discipline

Marine Technology and SNAME News, 1980
Faced with essential growth of ports and waterways, our practice in the United States has been for each of the various agencies concerned to focus upon its own area of interest. If an accident occurs, the tendency is to demand a change in ship design or practice when the configuration of the port, waterway, or pier may be in need of improvement.

Maximally permissive supervisor of marine canal traffic system

2006 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference, 2006
This paper deals with the automatic traffic control of vessels moving through the marine canal traffic system. Dangerous vessel deadlock situations may occur in case of vessels’ irregular moving through the system. To avoid this, the vessel traffic is supervised and controlled by traffic lights.

Pilots in the Marine Traffic System

Navigation, 1979
To the world's marine traffic system has been introduced a new and sometimes controversial element—Vessel Traffic Systems (VTS)—representing a necessary governmental attempt at more orderly management of marine traffic, to increase a no longer politically adequate overall level of safety.

The Social Cost of Marine Accidents and Marine Traffic Management Systems

Journal of Navigation, 1980
The benefits to society that would result from the introduction of a given marine traffic management system depend directly on the scale of the system introduced. Since the cost society would be required to pay for a marine traffic management system would also vary directly with its scale, by focusing on the cost of marine accidents both from cargo ...

Marine Traffic Behaviour in Restricted Waters

Journal of Navigation, 1983
This paper, which was presented at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute held in London on 26 January 1983, outlines the development and analysis of the ship domain in restricted waters and illustrates some of its uses in a buoyed channel.The analysis of marine casualties raises the question of how casualties occur, and may indicate the circumstances ...

Computer Simulation of Marine Traffic Systems

1985
A computer model was constructed that allowed two vessels involved in a possible collision situation to take collision avoidance action following the "International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea". The mariners’ actions were modelled by the concepts of the domain and the RDRR (Range to Domain/Range-rate).

Marine Traffic Surveillance with Shipborne Monitoring Equipment

Journal of Navigation, 1972
In this paper which was presented at an Institute meeting in London on 17 November 1971, Mr. O'Hagan describes a system for advising cooperating ships in a Surveillance Area. The system includes accurate position sensing through on-board equipment, high frequency telephonic communication, a general survey of all shipping and other hazards in the area ...

COMPUTER MODELLING OF MARINE TRAFFIC BEHAVIOUR

1981
The increase in marine traffic has resulted in the need for traffic routing schemes in areas of high vessel density. In order to assess the viability of a scheme before it is brought into use a simulation study can be used. This thesis describes the construction of a computer model to simulate the behaviour of mariners using the concepts of domains and

Marine Traffic Administration—a Confusion of Arts

Journal of Navigation, 1973
In the matter of marine traffic in confluence and approach waters we are, it seems, in a state of modest confusion. Society and the ecologists demand protection from pollution and coastal catastrophe. Operators of ships do not want to be put to inconvenience and expense, which in their view may not be justified.
