Abstract :
A unified collision avoidance system is proposed to improve the efficiency and safety of marine transport, namely Maritime Avoidance Navigation, Totally Integrated System (MANTIS). The principle behind its operation is to remove the difficulties and uncertainties involved in marine navigation through a system structure that makes marine transport deterministic. Fundamental to its operation involves automating the complex task of vessel management. An outline of the MANTIS architecture is given, followed by a detail description of the vessel management Expert System. Simulation results exemplify the significance of the system for future exploitation
