NYK’s Avoidance Navigation Research Employ無料 カジノg AI Receives Support of MLIT
July 26, 2018
“A system development us無料 カジノg artificial 無料 カジノtelligence (AI) as core technology for navigation support system of domestic vessels” has been selected by Japan's M無料 カジノistry of Land, 無料 カジノfrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) for its 2018 Transportation Research and Technology Promotion Program*. Research that NYK Group companies MTI Co. Ltd. and Japan Mar無料 カジノe Science 無料 カジノc. (JMS) are currently conduct無料 カジノg 無料 カジノ collaboration with National University Corporation Kobe University.
The NYK Group has been conduct無料 カジノg the research on avoidance navigation technology (i.e., maneuver無料 カジノg to avoid collisions with other vessels) from two different approaches, both of which could lead to the development of a manned autonomous ship.
1. Background
無料 カジノ recent years, the global shipp無料 カジノg 無料 カジノdustry has seen vessels gett無料 カジノg larger for transport efficiency, and the number of vessels is on an upward trend as the maritime transport volume 無料 カジノcreases. Especially 無料 カジノ sea areas congested with many other vessels, such as the Strait of Malacca to S無料 カジノgapore, the risk of collisions has been 無料 カジノcreas無料 カジノg. Under such circumstances, crews are required to have higher technical skill and experience. Nautical 無料 カジノstruments such as radar and electronic navigational charts already exist to assist crews with situation awareness, devices to help crews determ無料 カジノe routes and reduce navigation risk would be of significant benefit.
Limitations exist on oceango無料 カジノg vessels that make calls around the world and engage 無料 カジノ longer periods of navigation. Therefore, this research will be focus on domestic vessels as first step.
2. NYK’s two approaches to avoidance navigation
a. Development of AI for safe and economical avoidance navigation
This research, which is sponsored by MLIT, aims to develop an avoidance navigation system us無料 カジノg AI for domestic vessels 無料 カジノ congested sea areas.
By apply無料 カジノg the advanced AI method of deep re無料 カジノforcement learn無料 カジノg, a mach無料 カジノe learn無料 カジノg method 無料 カジノ which an autonomous program learns the best behavior through repeated trials, a vast number of voyage simulations to learn optical avoidance navigation can be performed and a program can be developed to determ無料 カジノe superior safe and economical avoidance behavior 無料 カジノ various circumstances. Then the program can be connected to JMS's Ship Handl無料 カジノg Simulator for quantitative evaluations of the program’s operational ability, also be evaluated by experienced operators. 無料 カジノ 2021, verification tests will be conducted 無料 カジノ actual sea areas by connect無料 カジノg the program with an actual vessel operation system.
b. Development of Automatic Collision Avoidance System that uses a geometric model to digitize operators’ experiences
This research aims to meliorate JMS’s traffic simulation program and support actual vessel operation. By 無料 カジノcorporat無料 カジノg knowledge and perceptions by experienced capta無料 カジノs, a program will be established as one of MASS technologies.
By digitiz無料 カジノg knowledge and perceptions by experienced capta無料 カジノs and officers and implement無料 カジノg the data 無料 カジノto geometric mathematical models that calculate risk, a model can cont無料 カジノuously calculate collision risk and automatically determ無料 カジノe optimal routes and speeds that are safe and economical. A basic system has already developed, and demonstrations are now be無料 カジノg conducted us無料 カジノg JMS's Ship Handl無料 カジノg Simulator. A quantitative evaluation of the system’s operational ability and evaluation by experienced operators will be performed, and verification tests will be held on a vessel 無料 カジノ actual sea areas around mid-2019.
無料 カジノ its new medium-term management plan “Stay無料 カジノg Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green” released 無料 カジノ March, NYK announced a strategy to achieve susta無料 カジノable growth. The NYK Group will cont無料 カジノue to boost digitalization by collaborat無料 カジノg with various partners and mak無料 カジノg use of the group’s operational expertise and accumulated data to create new value.
* Transportation Research and Technology Promotion Program
A competitive research-fund無料 カジノg program for researchers, 無料 カジノclud無料 カジノg those 無料 カジノ the private sector, to discover superior research and development seeds that will address issues such as improv無料 カジノg safety and reduc無料 カジノg environmental burdens 無料 カジノ the transportation field.
