Special Session II

Reliability and Safety of Maritime Transportation
海上交通的可靠性和安全性

Maritime transportation is a cornerstone of global trade and economy, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers across the world's oceans. The development of vessels with different levels of autonomy poses serious challenges to all stakeholders involved in the maritime transport sector, from authorities and legislators to operators and designers. The introduction of these vessels in highly congested maritime traffic areas with conventional ships introduces new risks to the maritime transportation system resulting mainly from the ships’ navigation with small crews, large dependence on advanced navigation systems and changes in the planning and monitoring of the maritime operations. Also, the role that human operators will have in the navigation of ships with increasing levels of autonomy and the target safety levels of the systems that will replace human tasks are still not defined.
The complexity of maritime operations, coupled with the harsh and unpredictable marine environment, necessitates robust engineering solutions and comprehensive safety protocols to mitigate risks and enhance system reliability. Moreover, aspects such as situational awareness, maritime traffic risk, risk-based navigation and path planning tools to support current and future navigation and maritime traffic monitoring tasks with the appropriate combination of technology and human involvement are necessary to provide safe, efficient and reliable shipping.
To this end, this special session is organized to present original research papers that address newly emerged innovative methodologies addressing the critical challenges and advancements in ensuring the reliability and safety of maritime transportation systems. The aim is to provide academia with cutting-edge ideas and to equip engineers with the latest and most interesting applications in the field.

水上交通运输作为覆盖远洋贸易物流与内河经贸运输的重要运输方式,在构建现代化综合交通体系、促进全球经济高质量发展方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。随着水上交通运输的发展,船舶日益标准化、绿色化、智能化,水上交通运输系统迎来了以智能航运、绿色船舶等新兴产业方向为代表的发展新机遇。然而在传统船舶同样拥挤的海上交通区域引入智能船舶,由于船舶人员配置精简、大量依赖先进的导航系统以及海上作业计划和监控方式的改变,其给海上运输系统带来了新的挑战。此外,随着船舶自动化水平的提高,人的操作在导航中的角色以及新的水上交通系统的可靠性以及安全性,尚未明确。
海上作业的复杂性,再加上恶劣和不可预测的海洋环境,要求我们制定稳健的工程解决方案和全面的风险预警能力,以提高安全并增强系统可靠性。此外,态势感知、海上交通风险、基于风险的路径规划工具等方面的研究对于支持当前和未来的船舶航行和海上交通监控任务,都是确保航运安全、高效和可靠所必需的。
为此,本会议分场旨在展示解决海上运输系统可靠性和安全性关键挑战和进展的新兴创新方法的原创研究论文。目标是为学术界提供前沿思想,并为工程师提供最新的和前沿的应用研究。
