AgentC: Agent-based System for Securing Maritime Transit (Demonstration)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent rise in maritime piracy prompts the search for novel techniques for addressing the problem. We therefore developed AgentC, a prototype system that demonstrates how agent-based traffic management techniques can be used to improve the security of transit through piracy-affected areas. Combining agent-based modeling and simulation of maritime traffic and novel route planning and vessel scheduling techniques, the system shows the promising potential of agent-based methods for increasing maritime security.

متن کاملProbabilistic Modeling of Mobile Agents' Trajectories
We present a method for learning characteristic motion patterns of mobile agents. The method works on two levels. On the first level, it uses the expectation-maximization algorithm to build a Gaussian mixture model of the spatial density of agents’ movement. On the second level, agents’ trajectories as expressed as sequences of the components of the mixture model; the sequences are subsequently...
متن کاملUsing Multi-agent Simulation to Improve the Security of Maritime Transit
Despite their use for modeling traffic in ports and regional waters, multi-agent simulations have not yet been applied to model maritime traffic on a global scale. We therefore propose a fully agent-based, data-driven model of global maritime traffic, focusing primarily on modeling transit through piracy-affected waters. The model employs finite state machines to represent the behavior of sever...
متن کاملAgents vs. pirates: multi-agent simulation and optimization to fight maritime piracy
Contemporary maritime piracy presents a significant threat to the global shipping industry, with annual costs estimated at up to US$12bn. To address the threat, commanders and policymakers need new data-driven decision-support tools that will allow them to plan and execute counter-piracy activities most effectively. So far, however, the provision of such tools has been very limited. To fill thi...

In this paper, we are going to investigate the growth of the Iranian maritime transport with a focus mainly on the North - South transit Corridor, review of dry ports in order to support the Iranian container terminals at the south ports in order to increase the volume of container storages at the terminals. For the purpose of assessing the outcome of port operational management, the Balanced ...
