Approach Parameters in Marine Navigation – Graphical Interpretations
Journal Title: TransNav, the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper approach parameters widely used collision avoidance systems such as the distance at closest point of approach and time to the closest point of approach and less known and used as the distance on course, the distance abeam and any distance and the times intervals to their occurrences are derived, analyzed and graphically interpreted in the combined coordinate system for position and motion. They can be used in collision avoidance systems and for reversed purposes - manoeuvring to required approach parameters, intentional approaches and naval tactical manoeuvres.

Evaluation of Main Traffic Congestion Degree for Restricted Waters with AIS Reports
Traditionally, marine traffic congestion degree in restricted waters is usually deduced from traffic volume or traffic density. Both of which, however, can not be easily and accurately determined and can not fully reflec...
