OPERATIONAL SYSTEM DESIGN ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF MARITIME TRAFFIC
This paper presents project of marine vessel navigation and control telecommunication system. Described system is based on integration of on-board and coastal appliance and is intended to optimize ship route using satellite data on ocean and atmosphere and hydrometeorological forecast. Paper describes structural components of the system, its performed functions and associated problems. The project developed a device for determining the condition of the sea surface, which is patented and successfully passed field tests in the Gulf of Peter the Great. The developed system will improve maritime safety and reduce the economic costs of maritime transport. The system will be in demand by various shipping companies and private shipowners.
