“…In this paper [19], an improved version of the Automation identification system (AIS) is proposed for the MOB situation. AIS consists of transponders and receivers and it uses 161.975 and 162.025 MHz radio frequencies for the detection, identification, and communication between the victim and ship.…”

Security measures and contingency plans have been established in order to ensure human safety especially in the floating elements like ferry, roro, catamaran, frigate, yacht that are the vehicles services for the purpose of logistic and passenger transport. In this paper, all processes in the event of Man overboard (MOB)are initiated for smart transportation. In MOB the falling person is totally dependent on the person who first saw the falling person. The main objective of this paper is to develop a solution to this significant problem. If a staff member or a passenger does not see the fall into the sea, undesirable situations such as disappearance, injury and death can occur during the period until the absence of the fallen person is noticed. In this paper, a comprehensive and improved solution is provided in terms of personnel and passenger security especially in all the floating elements, in which human resources are intensively involved like passengers, freight, logistics, fishing, business, yacht, leisure and naval vessels. In this case, if the ship's personnel or passengers fall into the sea in any way, it detected the fallen person into the sea by the sensors in the portable emergency device, which each person will carry. The warning system is activated via the in-ship automation system to which the information is transmitted by wireless communication. Thus, the case of MOB will be determined quickly. Internet of things (IoT) has a key role in identifying the location and information of the person falling into the sea through sensors, radio frequency, GPS and connected devices. Simultaneously, the alarm system on board will be activated and MOB flag (Oscar) will automatically be opened. This paper enables the Search and rescue (SAR) operations to be initiated and accelerated without losing time through decision-making process.

“…Then, the longitude and latitude can be calculated using the coordinates of points A-E (P x , P y ) of the virtual fence using Eqs. (11) and (12) of GPS (P 0x , P 0y ), L 1 -L 4 , and θ 1 -θ 4 of the hull center. Finally, combined with the GPS coordinates returned by the MOB aids, it can be judged whether the MOB is beyond the fence.…”

“…In 2018, Li et al of the School of Information and Control Engineering, Qingdao University of Technology, China, proposed an improved design of an AIS for MOB. (11) AIS transponders and receivers use two VHF radio frequencies, 161.975 and 162.025 MHz, to communicate, identify ships, and track targets, and for simple message exchange. In this study, they used AIS, which is required by the International Maritime Organization and should be installed in international waters, to make small devices part of the infrastructure.…”

Ships are the most important means of transportation for maintaining the marine economy in most countries. Coastal patrol is an important task of the state to prevent smuggling and other dangerous coastal activities. However, unfortunate accidents involving people on board ships and coast guards drowning in the sea occur from time to time. To save the lives of those who have fallen into the sea, most international searches are carried out by satellite searches, helicopter rescue, and the dispatch of boats. They are not only time-consuming but also inefficient. For this reason, we propose in this paper a real-time alarm, dynamic global positioning system (GPS) tracking, and monitoring system for man overboard (MOB). The system consists of four parts: wearable sensing aids, modular long-range access points (LoRa APs), physical electric fences, and a central control system, as well as three methods of detecting and protecting against MOB. These methods include real-time notification of MOB with wearable sensing aids, virtual electric fence monitoring based on the size of the ship, and instant notification triggered by a physical electric fence around the ship. As shown in a laboratory test and an actual sea test, the three MOB sensing methods developed in this research can perform instant detection and notification actions. We have thus demonstrated a method for the real-time detection of MOB by a shipwrecked ship itself that also promptly proposes a rescue action.

“…Meanwhile, AIS data has been extensively used in SAR research. For example, Li et al (2018) presented an improved design for the AIS Man Overboard device, a state-of-the-art maritime technology that has been widely adopted for SAR purposes. Furthermore, Varlamis et al (2018) presented a tool that automatically detected maritime SAR missions by employing AIS data streams.…”

In maritime search and rescue (SAR), commanders need to understand the task execution efficiency of each SAR unit in real time to improve the overall efficiency of SAR efforts. This study proposes a method to evaluate the progress of maritime SAR missions using automatic identification system (AIS) data. First, the positioning accuracy of the AIS data was improved according to the relationship between position, speed, and course. Second, the historical track of the SAR ship was used to generate the SAR completion area based on a line buffer algorithm. The SAR completion area and SAR mission area were then superimposed to determine the overall progress of the SAR mission. The proposed method has been deployed within the SAR software on-board Haixun01 (China's largest and most advanced large-scale cruise rescue ship) since 2017 and has played an important role in devising SAR strategies and tracking mission progress, during several SAR actions.
