Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of the Reliability of the Navigation Complex

Abstract

The article examines the navigational complex as a queuing system and defines the correlation between the difficulty of sailing conditions and system capability. A mathematical model for calculating the servicing probability was developed. Recommendations for necessary measures to maintain the appropriate level of system reliability are proposed.The implementation issues of the e-Navigation concept in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) are examined in this paper. In 2014, the IMO adopted the e-Navigation Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP). This plan aims to assess the impact of e-Navigation applications in reducing navigational accidents, such as ship collisions and groundings, as defined by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). The expected outcome is a substantial decrease in such accidents, projected to be around 65 percent. The responsibility for the safety of navigation and efficient vessel traffic lies with the Member States of IMO, both at the international and national levels. In order to introduce new concepts and innovative systems into vessel traffic, it is essential to thoroughly evaluate their potential effects on both SOLAS ships and non-SOLAS ships. The objective of this paper is to provide a detailed and well-founded assessment of the potential benefits of e-Navigation. To achieve this, we will be exploring and utilizing the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) methodology for measuring these effects. Additionally, we will be examining the application of e-Navigation solutions to non-SOLAS ships, ensuring a comprehensive analysis. In this discourse, the issue encompassing the identification and resolution of faults in information measuring systems is deliberated upon. Considered are the methods used for reconditioning defective systems following information failures. It is recommended to enhance continuous measurements by incorporating specific attributes related to sailing conditions and the technical state of the systems.
