Marine navigation collision preventing system

Abstract

Navigation safety has become one of the important issues to the entire world community. Automatic Identification System (AIS) firstly has been used to comply with safety and security regulations, functioning as collision avoidance, vessel traffic services, maritime security, aids to navigation, search and rescue and accident investigation. This paper presents marine navigation collision preventing system between ships and ships using AIS. In the system, the raw data from AIS is crossed with database based MMSI number to find detail information then, location of each ship was plotted on to Google Map. The safety distance is assessed based actual and stopping distance. The system was tested in the Batam and Singapore Channel. © 2014 Penerbit UTM Press. All rights reserved.
