Transportation Engineering and Monitoring

Improving safety of special transports Risk-based transport design will provide better guidelines and criteria for the transportation of special deck cargoes as well as floating objects. To ensure better implementation of these guidelines and criteria, an on board tool will be developed to simulate the consequences of actions such as route changes and the effects of speed reductions and course changes under harsh conditions. Use of this tool as decision support system will increase the safety of transports. The system will also be able to monitor what actually happens during the voyage.

Safe Trans

Improving safety of towage special transportation Office system The office system is a suite of computer programs under a graphical user interface, which computes the design values for a transport and evaluates the risks. The transport will be modelled using a Monte Carlo type simulation process, which will also allow the system to be used for training purposes. In addition, it will also calculate the full motion climate for the long-term statistics and related probability of failure of e.g. sea fastenings.

The main components of the office system are:

• FDB (Forecast DataBase) • RP&D (Route Planning and Display)

• VMC ( Voyage Motion Climate) • CDM (Captain’s Decision Mimic)

• MCS (Monte Carlo Simulator) On-board system The on-board system is a decision support and monitoring package designed to support the crew by providing information for operational and routing decisions.

The main components of the on-board system are:

• STMU (Short-term Meteo Update)

• RP&D (Route Planning and Display)

• M&L (Monitoring and Logging)

• DRS (Decision and Routing Support)
