Sustainable Development Goals Applied to the Maritime Transportation Sector: Setting Sail for the Future

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...

Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Ship Collision Avoidance Using Scenario-Based Model Predictive Control [PDF]

, 2016
A set of alternative collision avoidance control behaviors are parameterized by two parameters: Offsets to the guidance course angle commanded to the autopilot, and changes to the propulsion command ranging from nominal speed to full reverse.

A discrete planning approach in collision avoidance for smart ships

Procedia Computer Science, 2020
Abstract The paper presents a decision-making approach applied to marine navigation. The issue is to emulate the behaviour of a human expert in the task of determining a safe manoeuvre or a set of manoeuvres, that is a safe trajectory for a smart ship, when a collision situation is detected by navigational sensors.

Intent inference of ship maneuvering for automatic ship collision avoidance

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
Abstract This study addresses the intent inference of ship maneuvering with the consideration of the international regulations on marine traffic for preventing collisions at sea and its application to automatic ship collision avoidance. By assuming that the surrounding ship may or may not always follow the rules, the proposed method provides a ...

Ship interactive game collision avoidance decision-making in a mixed traffic environment

Zhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu
ObjectiveTo address the challenge of ineffective communication regarding avoidance intentions between autonomous ships （AS） and traditional manned ships (hereafter referred to as TS) in a mixed traffic environment, this study proposes an interactive ...

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

The Relational Character of Canadian Nation‐Building Infrastructure in the 21st Century

Canadian Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Infrastructure development is central to Canada's nation‐building process. This article argues that the federal government has recalibrated its nation‐building mandate from unilateral state command to relational orchestration. Through thematic analysis of thirty‐eight policy documents related to three federal infrastructure plans (2007–2016 ...

An interpretable data-driven method for ship collision avoidance decision-making research

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine officers’ experience with ship handling is crucial for ensuring safe navigation. The data-driven methods can learn from the experience contained in historical automatic identification system data, thereby providing avoidance decision-making for ...
