Artificial Intelligence Enhances Navigation Safety

Experts from the University of São Paulo (USP) will present the technology developed for naval simulations and risk analysis at the Ports & Coasts Brazil 2023 conference. Eduardo Aoun Tannuri and Marcelo Ramos Martins, experts in the field, will share information on the integrated approach to risk and real-time simulations.

The artificial intelligence (AI) used in these simulations allows for the prediction of ocean conditions and ensures greater safety in navigation. Simulations have been adopted by ship captains and pilots for years, but until the first decade of the 21st century, they were conducted in training centers outside Brazil. Since 2012, USP has had an advanced simulation center, as well as other centers of excellence across the country.

USP’s Naval Maneuver Simulation Center and the Partnership with Praticagem do Brasil

The Naval Maneuver Simulation Center at USP is well-established and has a partnership with Praticagem do Brasil for conducting studies, training, and risk analysis. The full mission simulators used have all the equipment of a modern ship and are powered by a database with information about all Brazilian ports.

Expertise of the Specialists and Investments in the Area

Investments in the area of simulation and risk analysis are significant, but the safety provided is worth it, as the studies integrate risk analysis with simulations. Eduardo Aoun Tannuri is a full professor in the Department of Mechatronic Engineering at USP’s Polytechnic School and coordinator of the Numerical Testing Tank Simulation Center (TPN-USP). He is an expert in simulation and analysis of DP systems and maneuvers and has extensive experience in the field.
