Assessing the MONALISA 2.0 Concept: Establishment of the European Maritime Simulation Network

摘要

This paper describes the framework and purpose of the European Maritime Simulator Network (EMSN), a joint network of different ship handling simulator centers, primarily established as a trial area for the Sea Traffic Management fSTMJ concept within the MONAUSA 2.0 project. It will briefly outline the STM concept and its derived validation demands, followed by the specification of technical framework and organisation of the EMSN, including the test-set up for the MONAUSA 2.0 demands. Subsequently, the potentials of this macro simulation environment to assess safety and efficiency effects of further traffic management procedures are stressed out.
