METHOD OF FORMALIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROCESS OF EVALUATION OF THE ACTION OF A SHIP-DRIVER OF A SHIP-POTENTIAL THREAT

Abstract

The article develops a method of formalizing knowledge about the process of assessing the actions of the master of the ship-potential threat, which allows to automate the assessment of the maneuver of the ship-potential threat to prevent situations of dangerous approach (collision). The operation of complex systems, which can be attributed to the activities of the master while controlling the movement of the vessel, is characterized by a high degree of work intensity in the event of dangerous situations. During operation, the general characteristics of the system "master - ship - environment" may change due to the variability of the characteristics of the master, caused by changes in the navigation environment in which the vessel operates, the complexity of the implemented algorithms, the time of continuous operation, etc. The effectiveness of the system "master - ship - environment" as the final link in the safety of navigation is largely determined by the introduction of new information technologies and capabilities of ship management systems. The presence of navigational hazards and the intensity of vessel traffic significantly complicate navigation in limited waters and create increased risks of accidents. In the event of a dangerous approach of vessels, a situation arises which provides for joint concerted actions by the drivers to prevent a possible collision. However, the issues of formalizing the assessment of the actions of the ship's captain-potential threat, and especially coordinated interactions have been little studied, although the problem is relevant because its solution allows to ensure a higher level of safety of divergence. Therefore, the development of a method of formalizing knowledge about the process of assessing the actions of the master of the ship-potential threat will increase the safety of navigation by increasing the efficiency and validity of decision-making when planning a maneuver of divergence in a dangerous approach (collision).
