Abstract

The DockingAssist system is a centralised, costeffective, real-time navigation system that provides the necessary centimetre positioning and speed accuracy to ensure efficient and safe manoeuvring within a entire port area, thereby enhancing vessel trajectory and providing constant monitoring of moored/docked vessels. By reducing transit, this system will result in improved port traffic management and lower operating expenses, CO2 emissions and fuel usage, thereby lessening the environmental impact of shipping. The reduced transit time will increase throughput in ports with a low investment. Our solution is based on WiMAX technology transmitting DGNSS positioning data in harbours. We provide proof-of-concept results based on empirical measurements performed in a real harbour. We find that WiMAX fulfils the requirements for accurate vessel positioning and navigation in harbour environment while providing wireless network capacity also for other services.
