Multi‐objective maritime vessel routing with safety considerations

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 337-371, January 2027.
Abstract The routing of maritime vessels is a challenging optimization problem that involves finding an adequate balance between conflicting and multiple objectives. This paper proposes a methodology based on inverse optimization to find appropriate objective weights that account for conflicting objectives. To formulate the inverse optimization problem,

Vehicle Fires: Significant Fire Hazard in Transportation Infrastructure

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 927-940, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Vehicle flammability poses a critical threat to transportation infrastructure, with recent fires in depots, tunnels, and car parks highlighting systemic vulnerabilities. These incidents often result in the total loss of vehicles and buildings, revealing the inadequacy of current fire safety standards for vehicle materials.

Metabolomics Reveals Multiple Metabolic Alterations and Biomarkers of Disease Severity in Facioscapulohumeral Muscle Dystrophy

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is one of the most common adult‐onset myopathies and is causally associated with a contraction of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat array on chromosome 4. It presents with a variable pattern of progressive muscle weakness affecting the face, shoulder girdle and lower limbs ...

A line of sight counteraction navigation algorithm for ship encounter collision avoidance

, 2001
A new navigation method, called a Line of Sight Counteraction Navigation (LOSCAN) algorithm has been introduced to aid manoeuvre decision making for collision avoidance based on a two-ship encounter.

Stresses in Above‐Ground Storage Tanks Subjected to Flood‐Borne Debris Impact

Safety Science and Technology, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
This study investigates the stresses induced in above‐ground storage tanks by flood‐borne debris, specifically steel pipes and wood poles. Findings demonstrate that debris impacts across the examined velocity range generate stresses within safe limits, not exceeding the yield stress threshold.

A Study on Multi-ship Avoidance System for Unmanned Surface Vehicles Using the Quaternion Ship Domain and Collision Risk Index

한국해양공학회지
Collision avoidance is essential for the safe navigation of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). This paper proposes a multi-ship collision avoidance algorithm that integrates the quaternion ship domain (QSD) and collision risk index (CRI) to assess ...

Norm Circles and the Limitations of European Union Normative Projection in Afghanistan

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 56, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Norm diffusion research explains the international travel of norms in semantic terms, through resonance, framing, grafting and localisation. Such accounts presuppose norms to be portable objects whose identity persists through transit. Yet, ontologically, norms exert causal force only where a real social group endorses and enforces them.

Avoiding collisions at sea – from multi-ship to ship-to-ship encounter

, 2018
It has been almost 50 years since the 1972 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (known as the COLREGs) were introduced with only some minor amendments added since their introduction. Many studies and accident reports indicate that these incidents were primarily caused by either human error or, are associated with human error as a ...

Ship route planning for collision avoidance based on the improved isochrone method

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering
If ship navigators could access precise collision risk data and guidance for avoidance, safer navigation would be feasible. This study introduces a method for devising avoidance routes based on quantitative collision risk assessment.
