A system for route optimization in ice-covered waters

Teasing out the detail: How our understanding of marine AIS data can better inform industries, developments, and planning

“…The majority of studies conducted using AIS information have focussed on specific areas such as: ship surveillance, tracking, and security [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]; prevention of maritime disasters including collision risks [6,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]; shipping noise levels [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]; or vessel emissions [36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Only one known study see [43] has looked at AIS as a tool for marine planning in order to better visualise spatial and temporal variation in shipping activity but the authors did not use all the available vessel types, did not take into account any temporal variation in shipping activity, and concentrated their results on interpolated vessel tracks.…”

Arctic sea route path planning based on an uncertain ice prediction model

“…The system is a modified version of the system suggested by Kotovirta et al (2009) and is configured with three modules, which consist of seven components (Fig. 2).…”

“…a≤x ≤b ð16Þ c ≤y≤d ð17Þ Kotovirta et al (2009) employed a sophisticated transit model for the ice navigation system. In their research, the model calculates the ship's ice resistance and required net thrust power of the ship.…”

“…Kotovirta et al (2009) did practical research on the Baltic Sea area. In their research, they introduced and integrated three models (a ship transit model, ice model, and optimization model, See Fig.…”

Towards a probabilistic model for predicting ship besetting in ice in Arctic waters

“…However, the code is flexible in relation to determining the influencing factors for a specific operation, or the appropriate Contents lists available at ScienceDirect journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/ress modeling techniques for risk assessment. One of the major operational risks for ice navigation is associated with a ship becoming beset in ice [9][10][11][12][13][14], which may result in a myriad of consequences, including, but not limited to, uncontrolled ship drift, listing, hull damages including plate breaching, and sinking in the worst case. In case the risk of a ship stuck in ice is acceptable, the operations can be safely carried out.…”
