Closing the Loop in Sea Traffic Management
نویسنده
چکیده
The intermodal points of any transport chain are crucial for its overall efficiency. Sea Traffic Management (STM), and its sub-concept Port Collaborative Decision Making (PortCDM), can play a vital role in improving the overall efficiency of the maritime transport chain. Inspired by a similar concept applied for collaborative decision making within and between airports, PortCDM is a way of establishing not only a common view of all available information, but using this information as a tool to create a common situational awareness supporting the involved actors to make more efficient collective decisions. We show in detail how this would work for better planning of arrival and departure times, how the port would interact with vessels in order to optimize the port approach. As a consequence arriving vessels can adjust their speed and thus arrive just-in-time. Savings on fuel consumption and lower emissions are obvious benefits. For the vessels and the port, higher predictability will yield efficiency based on integrated performance. PortCDM not only makes the processes in one port more efficient but also how the information will help other ports on a vessel’s voyage. By making the operations berth-to-berth as predictable as possible by multiple updates, ports will gain in efficiency on the inbound and outbound. By continuously sharing more accurate Estimated Time of Arrivals (ETAs), planners of shore transport are greatly supported.

The performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models have been accurately calibrated. One of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is LWR or METANET model. Practically, key parameters in LWR model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive ...
