Abstract
Setting up a marine reserve involves access monitoring, with the goal of avoiding intrusions of unauthorized boats – also considering that, typically, marine reserves are located in areas not easily accessible. Nowadays, intrusion detection in marine reserves is carried out by using radar systems or suitable cameras activated by movement sensors. In this chapter, we present a multiagent system aimed at monitoring boats in marine reserves. The goal of the proposed system is to discriminate between authorized and unauthorized boats – the formers being equipped with GPS+GSM devices. Boats are tracked by a digital radar that detects their positions. A prototype of the system has been experimented in a marine reserve located in the North of Sardinia. Results show that adopting the proposed approach facilitates the system administrator, as well as staff operators, in the task of identifying intrusions.
