WUWNet is the main hub for academics and practitioners working in diverse areas of underwater networks & systems to reach the community, spur interest, foster collaborations, and make an impact.
WUWNet 2024 takes place in the city of Šibenik, nestled along the enchanting Dalmatian coast. Crystal-clear waters, ancient architecture, and Mediterranean charm will create an inspiring backdrop for scientific exchange in a truly breathtaking setting.
WUWNet 2024’s rich program will include 5 keynote speeches, 2 parallel tracks, demos at sea, and a half-day trip to networking and enjoy Šibenik’s captivating surroundings.
The WUWNet’24 conference will host a number of demos from our patrons and participants. From CREXDATA, partner Kpler will present the demo on October 28th:
Real-time collision avoidance
The vessel collision avoidance demo showcases an innovative solution for vessel collision detection and avoidance in order to enhance maritime safety and navigation efficiency. Kpler owns the biggest network of AIS terestrial receivers which are complemented by third-party SAT-AIS data.
The demo showcases a web application that consumes streams of AIS data coming from the MarineTraffic platform and performs collision detection and avoidance in real-time. The user will be able to interact with the web-based user interface and inspect the collision events, as well as the suggested routes to avoid the collision.
The demonstrated solution could be integrated in a platform that uses autonomous vessels, as the collision avoidance framework could be used in platforms that coordinate unmmaned vessels enabling them to avoid obstacles in the sea. The demo highlights the importance of leveraging data-driven insights and cutting-edge technology to improve situational awareness and decision-making on board vessels. By integrating collision avoidance systems into existing navigation infrastructure maritime stakeholders can enhance safety standards, reduce the likelihood of accidents, and optimize vessel operations in dynamic and congested waterways.
