A Simulation Model of Autonomous Ship Firefighting

Abstract

Autonomous resolution of ship accidents is one of the essential functions that must be established in the development of autonomous ships. One of the most dangerous incident situations which can happen on board is a fire. The development of automated firefighting systems requires the development of appropriate simulation environments for testing. In this paper a simulation model for testing agent based on board firefighting system is presented. A simulation system based on the proposed model has been developed and implemented in multiagent programmable environment. An overview of the complete simulation session results performed on this system is given.
