Abstract: The paper presents the method of determining ships traffic stream parameters by means of regression method. The aim of the studies was to determine the correlation between the ship’s parameters and the parameters of the fairway. Developing the presented model with information on the position of the vessel’s antenna and information on the accuracy of position determination will allow creating a model for predicting the parameters of waterways.

Keywords: vessel traffic streams, ships’ traffic flow, safety of navigation, probabilistic model, traffic separa-tion scheme, modelling
Abstract: This paper presents the method used for the creation of ship traffic models in Southern Baltic Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS). The analysis of ship traffic was performed by means of statistical methods with the use of his-torical AIS data. The paper presents probabilistic models of ship traffic’s spatial distribution and its parameters. The results showed that there is a correlation between the standard deviation of traffic flow and TSS lane width that can be used in practical applications to ensure the safety of navigation; improve navigation efficiency, safe-ty and risk analysis in given area,
and for the creation of a general model of ship traffic flow.

Title: Verification of automatic drift calculation accuracy using an automatic radar plotting aid
Author/Authors: Wiesław Juszkiewicz, Agnieszka Nowy
Place of publication: Scientific Journals of the Maritime University of Szczecin
Year: 2016
Keywords: IMO performance standards, automatic drift calculation, ARPA, safety of navigation, radar simulator, radar picture stabilization
Abstract: One consideration required in the resolution concerning radar and automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA) equipment is the possibility of an automatic drift calculation being realized in the base of fixed target tracking. This information is very important to providing safe navigation, especially in restricted areas. This paper presents an analysis of the present regulations contained in IMO resolutions and the results of an experiment conducted in the ARPA simulator. The aim of the simulations was to verify the reliability of the information presented on the ARPA display and to determine the accuracy of the automatic drift calculation implemented in the simulator.
