Tytuł: Assessment of Possible Misidentification of AIS Transponders within AIS Data due to Bit Inversions of MMSI

Autor/Autorzy:  Paweł Banyś, Maciej Gucma, Jaya Shradha Fowdur

Miejsce publikacji: Nase More

Rok: 2024

Słowa kluczowe:  automatic identification system, bit inversion, Maritime Mobile Service Identity, vessel tracking

Abstrakt: For almost two decades now, the automatic identification system (AIS) has contributed to increasing the safety of navigation at sea. In addition to that, the system can provide valuable data for surveillance of maritime traffic on a global scale. For reliable tracking the movement of vessels with AIS, it is important to correctly identify the craft. Nowadays, such identification is based entirely on the maritime mobile service identity (MMSI). Despite extensive research being done on the subject of anomalies detectable within the AIS, with emphasis on spotting and correcting erratic vessel movements, a possibility of accidental falsification of MMSI leading to incorrect track reconstruction of a vessel has so far been neglected. This study focuses on analysing hypothetical situations when the MMSI of an AIS transponder on board a vessel is altered within the transponder software and a valid AIS data message is sent with a false MMSI which accidentally belongs to a completely different vessel. Since such MMSI transformation leaves no traces, an assessment of a speed-based plausibility is additionally proposed to figure out how many MMSI-based injections of false AIS track points can be detected. © 2024, University of Dubronvnik.

Słowa kluczowe:  Galileo, Decision Making Process, MARPOL, Head Mounted Display (HMD), Digital Twin, Mixed Reality, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), European Space Agency (EUSPA)

Abstrakt: It is becoming increasingly important to provide a solution for managing the present mission and status of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles operating on site in large and complex port locations. More ports are implementing digital twin systems, which provide a complete 3D reconstruction of the port as well as real-time data on all objects and actions in progress. It is challenging to provide all relevant data in a way that improves situational awareness and decision-making, resulting in improved management and a faster, more effective response during an emergency. This is due to greater port areas and drones operating in the air, on the water's surface, and underneath. To solve this issue, the PASSport initiative, a project financed by the European Space Agency (EUSPA), is developing an innovative solution based on Mixed Reality (MR) technology. The solution combines real-time geo-tagged and Earth Observation data to provide end users with enhanced 3D representation of the port area via a dedicated Head Mounted Display (HMD) that records user location and movement.

Tytuł: Multi-Object Detection for Inland Ship Situation Awareness Based on Few-Shot Learning

Autor/Autorzy: Junhui Wen, Maciej Gucma, Mengxia Li, Junmin Mou

Miejsce publikacji: Applied Sciences-Basel

Rok: 2023

Słowa kluczowe:  ship object detection, multi-object tracking (MOT), few-shot learning (FSL), transfer learning

Abstrakt: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and unmanned surface vehicle (USV) technology, object detection and tracking have wide applications in marine monitoring and intelligent ships. However, object detection and tracking tasks on small sample datasets often face challenges due to insufficient sample data. In this paper, we propose a ship detection and tracking model with high accuracy based on a few training samples with supervised information based on the few-shot learning framework. The transfer learning strategy is designed, innovatively using an open dataset of vehicles on highways to improve object detection accuracy for inland ships. The Shuffle Attention mechanism and smaller anchor boxes are introduced in the object detection network to improve the detection accuracy of different targets in different scenes. Compared with existing methods, the proposed method is characterized by fast training speed and high accuracy with small datasets, achieving 84.9% (mAP@0.5) with only 585 training images.

Tytuł: Maximum Safe Parameters of Ships in Complex Systems of Port Waterways

Autor/Autorzy: Stanisław Gucma, Maciej Gucma, Rafał Gralak, Marcin Przywarty

Miejsce publikacji: Applied Sciences-Basel

Rok: 2022

Słowa kluczowe: marine simulation, maritime transport, safety of navigation, maritime transport routes, design of waterways

Abstrakt: Context: From the perspective of marine traffic engineering, a system of port waterways is composed of a set of waterways (port areas), such as approach channels, port entrance, inner fairways (port channels, rivers, lakes), turning basins and port basins of various terminals. The sea waterway must be adjusted to the navigation of specific types of ships, characterized by length, breadth, draft and airdraft. The primary requirement for shipping in sea waterways is the safety of navigation. Each sea waterway has traffic restrictions for the ships using it. These restrictions are called conditions of sea waterway operation or conditions of ship operation in the sea waterway. Problem: There are a number of empirical, deterministic or probabilistic methods to determine the safe width of maneuvering areas on port waterways. The direct application of empirical methods to determine the conditions for the safe operation of ships on the complex waterway, such as the Świnoujście–Szczecin fairway, was impossible due to the complexity of the waterway and various restrictions on its individual parts. Method: The paper presents the assumptions and calculation procedure of a method allowing for the determination of maximum safe parameters of ships in existing complex waterways. Results: The proposed method was used in the preparation of port regulations for the dredged and widened Świnoujście–Szczecin waterway. The results of these calculations are presented as a practical application of the method. Conclusions: This article defines conditions for the safe operation of ships in complex port waterways systems and presents the methodology for determining maximum safe parameters of ships in existing complex port waterways systems.

Autor/Autorzy: Maciej Gucma, Renata Boć, Mateusz Wąż

Miejsce publikacji: European Research Studies Journal

Rok: 2021

Słowa kluczowe: positioning of transport devices, reliability of system

Abstrakt: Purpose: The purpose of this article is to analyse methods and factors that describe reliability in modern GNSS systems. Design/Methodology/Approach: This analysis was conducted for several branches of human activity that rely on technical systems for assuring safe and reliable operations. Transportation, logistics, geodetical measurements, or development are just few professional activities dependent on satellite positioning. The reliability of the whole transport or technological chain is often combined with the singular reliability of satellite monitoring systems. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are present where human activity must be backed with precise positioning and timing information. Findings: This paper will provide a review of researches in the field of GNSS on the side of the multi-constellation receiver concerning reliability issues. Practical Implications: A combination of technical criteria to mention safety, maintainability, quality, cost, risk, or availability will be addressed as a comparative analysis. Originality/Value: The results of the study reflect the applicability and effectiveness of used indicators that can contribute to many human activites. Consequently, the fundamental strength of proposed factors can contribute to many business branches where accuracy and standard measures of reliability used in single constellation (like GPS) receivers differ then multi-constellation ones where more complex reliability measures must be provided.

Słowa kluczowe: Electronic Navigational Chart, Radar image, Navigation marks, Data fusion, Autonomous ship

Abstrakt: This article presents research on assessing the accuracy of ship position determination based on observations of radar echoes of navigation marks identified in an Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC). The accuracy analysis of the simulated radar positioning in relation to navigation marks the validity of the research. Position accuracy on the approach fairways was better than 6.5 m (RMS). A specially prepared measuring system made it possible to conduct tests based on radar images. In subsequent stages of the research, the association of extracted characteristic radar echoes with navigation marks found in an ENC was made. Then, in order to eliminate significant values of measurement errors and erroneous identification of navigation marks, geodetic adjustment was applied. The obtained position accuracy equal to 34.1 m (RMS) provides a premise to state that the method can be adopted for autonomous navigation systems which are alternatives to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

Słowa kluczowe: Cargo Handling, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Multicriteria Optimization Method, LNG Distribution, Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Vector Evaluated Genetic Algorithms (VEGA), Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA)

Abstrakt: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is considered as a realistic substation of marine fuel in 21 century. Solution of building new engines or converting diesels into gas fueled propulsion meets the stringent international emission regulations. For HFO (heavy fuel oil) or MDO (marine diesel oil) propelled vessels, operation of bunkering is relatively wide known and simple. Its due to the fact that fuel itself doesn’t require high standards of handling. Where for LNG as a fuel its very demanding process – it evaporates and requires either consuming by bunker vessel or reliquefication. Distribution of such bunker is becoming multidimensional problem with time and space constrains. The objective of the article is to review the methods of optimization using genetic algorithms for a model of LNG distribution. In particular, there will be considered methods of solving problems with many boundry criteria whose objective functions are contradictory. Methods used for solving the majority of problems are can prevent the simultaneous optimization of the examined objectives, e.g. the minimisation of costs or distance covered, or the maximisation of profits or efficiency etc. Here the standard genetic algorithms are suitable for solving multi-criteria problems by using functions producing a diversity of results depending on the adopted approach.

Tytuł: Occurrence of Unknown Sensor Data within AIS Dynamic Messages
Autor/Autorzy: Paweł Banyś, Frank Heymann, Maciej Gucma

Miejsce publikacji: Nase More

Rok: 2020
Słowa kluczowe: AIS; Automatic Identification System

Abstrakt: For more than a decade, the Automatic Identification System (AIS) has contributed to increasing the safety of navigation at sea. Despite the benefits of the system, AIS messages shared between vessels and the AIS dynamic data transferred to the Portable Pilot Units may contain unknown values of sensor data if the sensor data on board becomes either unavailable or undeliverable for any reason. In this paper, an experiment is conducted to analyse the performance of an AIS transponder during a virtual sea voyage. By altering the sensor data rate it is possible to cause the AIS transponder to output AIS messages with unknown sensor data. After performing the experiment, a generic approach is used in order to establish a correlation between the sensor data rate and the relative occurrence frequency of AIS unknown values. This leads to the formulation of a simple equation which describes the interdependence between the interval of sensor data provision, the age of the sensor data allowed by the AIS transponder and the percentage of unknown data within the AIS data output.

Słowa kluczowe: situation awareness; resilience principles; ship navigation; threats; robustness; risk mitigation

Abstrakt: This paper discusses the application of resilience engineering principles by shipborne navigation systems. As a technological system, the ship navigation system comprises all the communication and navigation equipment required to operate a ship. If examined as a socio-technological system, one has to additionally consider the use of the ship navigation system by the bridge teams in order to perform the nautical profession in terms of safe and efficient ship navigation, taking into account environmental information received by communication. The first part of this work discusses the theoretical background of resilience engineering and situation awareness. Case studies are used to illustrate under which conditions the application of resilience principles may result in an improvement of the operational reliability. With the help of simulations, it is shown that a sub-optimal implementation and utilization of resilience principles may decrease the robustness of the technical ship navigation system, as well as the reliability and adaptability of the ship navigation system in use. The examples illustrate once again that monitoring is one of the four cornerstones of resilience: anticipating, monitoring, learning, and responding. This is due to the effectiveness of most resilience principles depending on the availability and trustworthiness of situational information in relation to system status and environmental conditions, irrespective of whether the generation and use of the situational information is machine-made or human-made. Therefore, the establishment of situation awareness is an essential accompanying functionality to be considered in design, operation, and use of resilient systems.

Tytuł: Optimization of lNG terminal parameters for a wide range of gas tanker sizes: the case of the Port of Świnoujście

Autor/Autorzy: Stanisław Gucma, Maciej Gucma

Miejsce publikacji: Archives of Transport

Rok: 2019

Słowa kluczowe: LNG terminal, optimization of port waterways, navigational safety in restricted areas.

Abstrakt: LNG terminals are built to handle tankers of specific size, with cargo capacities within a narrow scope. This is related to the differences in cargo, fender and mooring systems used for LNG tanker handling of various sizes. The research problem solved in the article is the development of the method for optimal design of a universal LNG cargo handling facility that enables safe operations of LNG tankers in a wide range of cargo capacity that covers almost entire spectrum of global fleet tanker sizes. The article presents a methodology of optimizing the parameters of LNG cargo terminals to accommodate both small bunker ships with cargo capacity of 500 m3 (50 metres in length) to Q-flex type tankers capable of carrying up to 220 000 m3 (320 m in length). The authors have determined conditions for the safe operation of these tankers in sea LNG terminals and described differences in the construction of cargo, fendering and mooring systems. The optimization of both location and terminal parameters for a wide range of gas tanker sizes as well as approach channels leading to the LNG berths was performed using a specially designed two-stage simulation method of optimization. In the first stage the best location of a universal LNG terminal and its berths in the existing port basin is determined. The second stage defines optimal parameters of approach waterways to the berths of a universal LNG terminal. The optimization criterion at both stages was the minimization of the costs to build and to operate a universal LNG terminal. The developed optimization methodology was actually used in the design of the universal LNG terminal in the outer port of Świnoujście. The tests made use of real time simulation (RTS) and non-autonomous models of ships, in which ship movement is controlled by a human (pilot, captain). Simulation tests were performed on a multi-bridge ship handling Polaris simulator with a 3D projection, from Kongsberg Maritime AS. This full-mission bridge simulator (FMBS) is located at the Marine Traffic Engineering Centre, Maritime University of Szczecin. Two simulation ship movement models were built and verified for testing the manoeuvres of port entry and berthing. These are: Q-flex type tanker (length: 320 m) and an LNG bunker ship, 6,000 m3 capacity, 104 m in length. The test results were used in the design of the universal LNG terminal in the outer port of Świnoujście and approach waterways leading to the berths (now this investment project is in progress).

Rok: 2019

Słowa kluczowe: -

Abstrakt: Programming methods, such as dynamic heuristic search or search and limit techniques are used for solving the problems of routing. Many of the problems to be solved require huge computing effort, some of them are NP-hard. Other optimization algorithms that may be used for solving vehicle routing problems are methods based on genetic algorithms, neural networks and ant algorithms. The problem of LNG distribution system is closely related to the problem of route planning. These problems are characterised by a simple definition of the problem, unlike finding the solution. Finding the optimal outcome for a great number of points is a hard and work-consuming task. Genetic algorithms are an alternative for the methods most often used so far.

Abstrakt: Various activities such as dredging and pier lengthening have made it possible for ports to receive larger container vessels, though in many cases this has made berthing the vessels more difficult, necessitating advanced ranging and docking systems. For example, in Koper, Slovenia, navigation through a narrow and bending channel has been made safer through the implementation of a laser-ranging system; a laser docking system is in place so that once the ship is positioning alongside where, say, inadequate fenders await and ship-to-shore (STS) cranes are near, special care is required and parameters such as precise vessel position, transversal speed, and vessel-approaching angle are of great importance. This paper will present the layout of the system and the first results related to the observed docking of large container vessels calling at the Port of Koper.
