The article describes the rules for planning a ship's navigation in the event of loss of propulsion. A disabled ship drifting freely at sea is a potential danger to the crew and the marine environment. Lack of propulsion means that the ship cannot give way to other ships/keep out of the way of another vessel. One of the main elements of danger for a drifting ship is the possibility of grounding in restricted areas. The aim of the article is to draw the attention of navigators to the dangers to navigation resulting from ships drifting without their own propulsion, disabled ships.
Proces wyboru drogi w obszarze ograniczonym wymaga znajomości nie tylko samego obszaru, ale także bieżącego oraz przyszłego położenia innych poruszających się w nim obiektów. Zagadnienie to jest stosunkowo proste w przypadku gdy śledzone obiekty nie zmieniają kierunku ruchu oraz prędkości. Często jednak śledzone obiekty manewrują, co skutkuje koniecznością korekty wyznaczonej trajektorii obiektu własnego. Takie informacje pozwalają na minimalizację ryzyka ewentualnej kolizji. Jest to istotne zarówno ze względów bezpieczeństwa jak i z uwagi na czynniki ekonomiczne. W niniejszym artykule zaproponowano algorytm detekcji zmian kierunku ruchu oraz prędkości śledzonego obiektu. Proponowane w artykule rozwiązania są rozwinięciem poprzednich badań uwzględniających poszukiwanie optymalnej trasy obiektu na obszarze ograniczonym. Autorzy proponują tu algorytm dla zastosowań w systemach wspomagania decyzji dla nawigacji morskiej, ale może być on z powodzeniem zastosowany również w innych obszarach transportu.

The process of choosing a trajectory in a restricted area requires knowing not only the area itself, but also the current and future location of other objects moving within it. This issue is relatively simple in case when the objects being tracked do not change the direction of movement and speed. Often, however, the objects being tracked have a nuanced effect, which results in the necessity to correct the determined trajectory of the own object. Such information allows to minimize the risk of a possible collision. This is important both for security reasons and due to economic factors. This article proposes an algorithm for the detection of changes in the direction of motion and the speed of the object being tracked. The solutions proposed in the article are a development of previous studies, including the search for the optimal object route in a restricted area. The authors propose an algorithm for applications in decision support systems for sea navigation, but it can also be successfully used in other areas of transport.

Clusterization is one of the data mining techniques which is responsible for classifying data. Selection of the proper parameters leads to some desired clusters behavior. Th is fact can be used in detecting the restricted areas for ships and other units. Th e allowed area can be marked as a data cluster and vice versa. Th e other advantage is the fact that each cluster consists of the set of points which can be used to fi nd the shortest path in given area. In this paper the use of clusterization in detecting restricted areas is described. Few methods are analyzed and the conclusions presented.
The aim of the following article is to analyse the lying of a vessel at anchor in extreme hydrometeorological conditions. As an example it describes the situation of the Panamax type bulk carrier anchoring in Prince Rupert harbour restricted area. The investigation takes into consideration the impact of strong wind on the safety of anchoring in sheltered waters. The presented calculations concern problems of slewing which result in changes of heading. The analysis also includes a description of the wind and current forces. The final part focuses on conclusions whose aim is to improve anchoring safety standards in areas managed by harbour authorities.
This paper presents the research results on declarative ship domains in restricted areas. The research was conducted for vessels of different sizes and speed relations.

In this paper an algorithm of finding the optimal path of an object in restricted area, focusing on the position prediction, is presented. Moving in the restricted area requires not only the knowledge of this area, but also the current and future position of other objects present in it. These informations let to minimalize the possible collision risk. It’s significant not only due to the safety, but also to the economic factors. This approach is the further development of the investigations in the area of finding the optimal path in restricted area, carried out at the Maritime University of Szczecin.

The shortest path problem is one of the most significant ones in the field of maritime navigation. One of the most efficient algorithms was proposed by E. Dijkstra in 1959. Taking into account the development of computer technology was offered another interesting approach to the issue. The main idea is to execute the shortest path algorithm simultaneously forward from the source and backward from the target. The results are presented and discussed.
The present article concerns a problem of vessel speed modeling in restricted areas, where vessel traffic flow is disturbed. In analysis of vessel speed on the Świnoujście–Szczecin fairway, division into the particular ship types has been made. Probability distributions describing speed of different ship groups have been analysed. Using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test it has been showed that the best distribution describing vessel speed of the most ship groups, is the Gumbel distribution.
This paper presents one of the approaches to solve the collision problem in restricted area for two moving objects using artificial intelligence (SACO algorithm). Although AI should be used only when the classic methods fail, a simple comparison between them is very interesting. As we know the main task of navigation is to conduct safely an object from the point of departure to destination. This problem does not seem easy, especially if we consider the movement in restricted areas such narrow passages, ports etc.
Bezpieczeństwo manewrów wyprzedzania statków morskich jest istotnym elementem podczas realizacji nawigacji na akwenach ograniczonych. Specyfika akwenu ograniczonego redukuje dostępną przestrzeń manewrową, zwiększając ryzyko przerwania elementu systemu logistycznego poprzez kolizję statków podczas manewru wyprzedzania. Jednym z czynników determinujących bezkolizyjne wykonanie manewru jest prawidłowa ocena odległości bocznej pomiędzy jednostkami w momencie realizacji tego manewru. W artykule przedstawiono przyczyny kolizji statków podczas wyprzedzania na akwenach o ograniczonej przestrzeni manewrowej.

In this paper, two different shortest path routing algorithms in respect of basic navigation problems are discussed. First of them is a “state of art” in computer science – well known Dijkstra algorithm. The second one is a method based on artificial intelligence – simplified ant colony optimization proposed originally by Marco Dorigo. Author used both ways to find an optimal / suboptimal route for a ship in a restricted area. Results showed the advantages and disadvantages of both algorithms in simple static navigation situations.

W artykule omówiono dwa różne algorytmy poszukiwania najkrótszej drogi w odniesieniu do zagadnień nawigacji. Pierwszym z nich jest algorytm Dijkstry, stanowiący podstawę rozwiązywania tego typu problemów. Drugi to metoda bazująca na sztucznej inteligencji – uproszczony algorytm mrówkowy, zaproponowany przez Marco Dorigo. Autor używał obu sposobów w celu uzyskania optymalnej, bądź suboptymalnej trasy dla statku na akwenie ograniczonym. Rezultaty badań pokazały korzyści i wady ze stosowania obu rozwiązań w prostych sytuacjach nawigacyjnych.

This paper presents an analysis of vessel safety parameters used in the ECDIS system while navigating in restricted areas. Apart from defining their priorities, a group of parameters indispensable for the safe navigation in restricted waters is identified. The function of ship domain is proposed on the basis of safety parameters defined in the ECDIS system. This function may be utilized in the navigation decision support system that uses ECDIS data and included as a new function in the ECDIS system.
