Moving objects at sea: trends and challenges

Over the past few years moving objects have been a subject of considerable research attention
in the fields of spatio-temporal databases and geographical information science. The range of
potential applications is large and cover many areas, but has been so far limited to
conventional domains of GIS. This talk will take a different perspective, by considering
moving objets not in land but at sea, and will survey current techniques, research advances
and issues of the specific domains around objects at sea. The talk will survey current maritime
information systems and navigation-aided systems and some of the research projects
developed so far at the Naval Academy Research Institute in France, while emphasizing some
of the research challenges still open.

• The way we consider moving objects at sea are the ones, mainly
  ships, closely related to the modelling, monitoring, simulation,
  visualization and analysis of maritime data, while applications cover
  transportation, environmental studies and security (amongst others)
• Research and application fields :
    – Maritime and geographical information systems
    – Spatio-temporal data analysis and spatio-temporal data mining
    – Visualisation, simulation and decision-aid systems
    – Human factors, …

• Ships and control centres have to face many safety problems due to :

          – Staff reduction
          – Traffic increase, dangerous materials
          – Piracy and terrorism risks
          – Multiple and heterogeneous positioning and navigation systems to
            integrate (AIS, ARPA, Argos, Iridium, ECDIS,)

  • Small ships can be mistaken for sea echoes in the case of
    rough sea due to small echoes

  • Non accessible areas
           – Hidden by the coast
           – Over the limit of the radar


  • No direct distinction between stable and dynamic boats

  • Track monitoring difficult when ships are crossing

  • A ship fitted with AIS receives navigation data sent by surrounding
    ships, by its maritime VHF (one VHF transmitter, two VHF Time
    Division Multiple Access receivers and one VHF Digital Selective
    Calling receiver)
           – Mandatory (IMO) From july 2005 for ship of more of 500 T and 300 T
             with passengers
           – It is a solution comparable to aeronautic transponders

  • Transmitted data include textual data such as name, length, speed
    and position of every AIS-connected ship in the neighbourhood.
    Incoming data come from different sources and sensors such as GPS
    and speed meters

  • The AIS is able to operate in autonomous and continuous mode for
    operations in all areas, it is not constrained by the topography as is
    the ARPA system

  • Lack of decision-aid and simulation functions

  • Personalisation still not considered

  • ECDIS is only a tool that helps a mariner safely and effectively
    navigate a ship. One of the biggest risks with the transition to ECDIS
    is an over reliance in the information provided
