AIS (automatic identification system), a new type of marine equipment, together with radar, are all the key navaid for a ship to navigate. Now in the seafaring, it is one of the most attentive research issues how to adequately and effectively use their information to improve the sail safety. The paper developed the integrated target information system based on ECDIS (electronic chart display and information...
Over-reliance in the information provided by electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) is a higher risk in navigation. This paper states the advantages of ECDIS and potential human errors, equipment errors and operation errors that have been found in using ECDIS. The root cause analysis for determining the core errors, the error chain in using ECDIS is discussed and identified, then...
In this paper, there are presented and discussed the issues regarding the perfection of the information services of the maritime navigation. Although the today developmentpsilas level of information and communications technology (ICT) allow to solve almost every hardware and software issue of information systems, nevertheless there exist very many issues of the maritime navigation information services...
