Implementation of Voyage Assistant Module in Mobile Navigation System for Inland Waters

Abstract

Route monitoring is one of the most important functions in modern navigation systems. In case of marine merchant ship’s it usually part of IMO‐standardized solutions like ECDIS or INS. In inland waters Inland ECDIS is implemented. There is however large group of ships which do not have to follow standardized solution, like recreational ships. The skippers of these boats more and more often are using mobile devices. The paper presents considerations on implementation of voyage assistant module in mobile navigation system in inland waters. Main problems are defined solutions for them are proposed. In general proposed approach is based on mobile cartography like in car navigation and derives also from water navigation systems. The verification research are described and commented.
