08NOV2018 - NEWS - Netherlands based RH Marine starts research project to support safe autonomous sailing of ships

Netherlands based RH Marine has recently commenced a three-year research project to support safe autonomous sailing of ships. As part of the research, RH Marine intends to develop three different algorithms that will allow unmanned self-propelled vessels to sail efficiently by recognising and avoiding dangerous situations. The first algorithm will be developed to help optimise the way for an entire autonomous vessel fleet to efficiently sail from A to B at the lowest possible cost. The second algorithm is expected to be developed on the basis of data received from sensors. It will be developed to support a complete situational awareness that can evaluate actual situations and learn to recognise hazards. The third algorithm will be designed to enable autonomous vessels to avoid situational hazards.
