REliaBility and Uncertainty of Ship decision support system for safe and greener navigation (REBUS)
Funded by: Croatian Science Foundation – HRZZ-IP-2022-10-2821
Project summary
The goal of the research in a frame of project REliaBility and Uncertainty of Ship decision support system for greener navigation – REBUS is the analysis of reliability and uncertainties related to Decision Support System (DSS) is planned for ship captains as well as machine commanders, which would contribute to ”greener” and safer navigation of ships.
The project continues the ongoing Croatian Science Foundation project, No. IP-2018-01-3739 DEcision Support System for green and safe ship RouTing (DESSERT), which is developing a decision support system that takes into account not only economic (consumption) but also environmental and safety aspects of navigation.
Research related to DSS analysis will proceed in two basic directions: Uncertainty analysis and reliability assessment of the decision support system for more energy efficient navigation while reducing greenhouse gas emissions; Uncertainty analysis and reliability assessment of the system for timely response in case of a flooding.
Measurements of navigation and operational parameters of the ship using various measurement systems will be analyzed from the point of view of defining uncertainty and evaluating the reliability of the measurements themselves. A large database of measured data from a bulk carrier will be used to analyze the reliability of a numerical model for estimating the directional spectrum of waves from measured ship motions and to validate the methodology for estimating fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal is to systematically analyze the shipboard decision support system, taking into account design, engineering, and maritime expertise, to create a safer and more environmentally efficient or “greener” ship and navigation. The project team consists of scientists who are experts in naval architecture, mechanical engineering, marine engineering and computer science, which enables a multidisciplinary solution to this problem.
