Abstract

Abstract Maritime navigation is a complex task involving the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of information using seamanship, professional knowledge, and technology. As the maritime industry transitions towards maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS), there is an increasing gap between the operator and the technology. This paper explores a collision avoidance decision support system for navigation from the navigator's perspective. The system, developed by Wärtsilä, is called Advanced Intelligent Manoeuvring (AIM) and can generate suggestions for course or speed alterations based on data from surrounding traffic. Nineteen Swedish navigators completed three ship traffic scenarios with and without decision support. Qualitative data were collected using interviews and analysed with thematic analysis. The results show that the participants perceive the decision support system as an advisory tool to visualise how traffic situations could unfold, a task currently difficult for most navigators. This paper discusses the present and near future of maritime navigation, highlighting the benefits of automation, while remaining vigilant about the potential dangers.

海上航行避碰决策支持系统的导航员观点

海上航行是一项复杂的任务，涉及使用航海技术、专业知识和技术获取、分析和解释信息。随着海运业向海上自主水面舰艇(MASS)过渡，运营商与技术之间的差距越来越大。本文从导航员的角度出发，探讨了一种面向导航的避碰决策支持系统。该系统由Wärtsilä开发，被称为高级智能操纵(AIM)，可以根据周围交通数据生成路线或速度改变建议。19名瑞典导航员在有和没有决策支持的情况下完成了三个船舶交通场景。采用访谈法收集定性数据，并采用专题分析法进行分析。结果表明，参与者将决策支持系统视为一种可视化交通状况的咨询工具，这是目前大多数导航员难以完成的任务。本文讨论了海上航行的现在和不久的将来，强调了自动化的好处，同时对潜在的危险保持警惕。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
