Abstract:

For simulation based verification and validation (V&V) of maritime system designs, the system under analysis is exposed to a variety of traffic scenarios. Usually bridge and shipping simulators do not provide intelligent behavior for the simulated ships. Instead, they use simple route following techniques, or just follow a given direction. In automated V&V scenarios, a lot of different simulation runs must be executed e.g. to test new assistance systems in various situations. To cover the needed number of important situations, an automated behavior of target ships is needed.

This paper presents a technique to configure and calculate realistic and intelligent ship behavior. Each ship has its own knowledge about the environment and uses this knowledge to decide what kind of behavior the ship shows using the Behavior Tree technique.
