Modern technologies in the vessel traffic control system within the framework of the e-Navigation concept: world experience and regional features (review)

Abstract

In 2006, the International Maritime Organization adopted the concept of e-Navigation, which, in order to improve the safety of navigation, implies the formation of a single information space for services serving navigation. The solution of such a problem requires introduction of new information technologies; and in this review the authors consider the technology of wireless broadband access (WBA) as such. Analysis of the world experience in application of WBA technology for maritime communication systems and vessel traffic control systems is presented. Modernization of the communication and data transmission network of Vladivostok vessel traffic system (VTS) is considered, the option of introducing e-Navigation in the region is proposed.
