Navigational decision support systems in maritime transport
Abstract: Navigational equipment and systems installed on board ships and at land-based centres improve and automate the processes of navigational information acquisition, processing and presentation. These systems perform mainly information functions that enhance decision making processes. The growing range and amount of available information and the consequent difficulties in data processing and use make up a potential source of human errors, one of the main reasons behind marine accidents. Actions already undertaken aim at extending the existing navigational systems, or building new ones, where decision support functions will have a wider scope. This article will describe the present situation and directions of developing navigational systems in maritime transport.
