Tykhonov I. Methodological basis for polyergatic provision of water transport vehicles navigation and traffic management (goal safety technology)

This dissertation is aimed at solving the actual scientific problem of polyergatic provision of navigation and vessel traffic management by the way of timely situationally determined redistribution of functions and resources between a human and an electronic machine with the aim of improving the vessel traffic safety in areas with an increased risk of navigation. The decisive role in the safe navigation of an integrated navigation safety management system, the creation of integrated electronic navigation systems, the introduction of new marine technologies and the reduction of the human factor influence in shipping were explored and determined. The method of guaranteeing safe navigation in the conditions of heterogeneity of physical fields in the ships traffic zone for a rational safety-free exit through a transversal trajectory into a planned route zone taking into account the factors of influence of the non-stationary environment. Existing contradictions between the increasing requirements for the effectiveness of navigation systems and traffic management and the real possibilities of to-date science and technology are eliminated by solving the computational complexity of current tasks by decomposing them into typical trivial subtasks. It was improved the construction of the stabilization system for ships traffic management in a non-sable environment, which allows to take into account the dynamic effect of waves under different waving modes in marine conditions with multi-contour subsystems of automatic control of ships’ power executive bodies. The synthesis of models of polyergatic systems with the characteristics of guaranteed adaptive management with the control of navigators’ individual condition control is carried out, which, provides an effective level of guaranteed adaptive management in the hierarchical navigation services of a ship in conditions of variable transport flow in water areas. The method of providing continuous non-emergency polyergatic control in the local navigation zone, which allows to rational distribution of functions in the hierarchical systems of navigation and vessel traffic control for the operational increase of the level of navigation safety, adequate to the threats. The integrated scheme of information exchange in the complex dynamic system, built on the principle of "e-Navigation" strategy have been proposed. The method of providing a given safety level in the polygraphic navigation and ships traffic control system on the inland water conditions at a real-time have been developed, in which the instrumental method of navigation is used for intellectualizing decisions of decision making systems. The conditions of functional stability of polyergatic systems are formalized in order to maintain the safety level of the ships’ traffic on inland waterways, which provides an opportunity to provide control and analysis of the ships traffic on inland waterways, that ensure a more higher probability value ships’ safe traffic (till 97%) in high navigation risk areas and to reduce the time of vessels’ round-trip on the Dnipro river approximate on 17,8%. The information technology of increasing of intellectualization level is developed on the basis of the principles of universal semantic coding of linguistic messages circulating between the intelligent agents of a common system of navigation and control of the movement of gas-carriers have been proposed. The organization of polyergatic navigation and ship’ traffic control systems with the step-by-step introduction and improvement means of support of operational decisions in real time for ensuring traffic safety during the voyage is appointed, which allow to adapt the monitoring and ship’s’ traffic analysis in the territorial waters of Ukraine for conducting of prognosed predictive calculations of the probability of emergency events in conditions of ships’ flows increasing in these water areas. The practical value of the results is to prove the effectiveness of polyergatic provision of navigation services for ships navigation and traffic management systems, as well as the timely guarantied maintenance of a safe level of navigation in areas with increased risk of navigation through introducing a comprehensive integration of information processes of intellectual transport systems. The results of the dissertation researches are recommended for use in the integrated application of the ships’ and shore based Vessel Traffic Systems navigation automation systems means at the ship and on coastal in the territorial water of Ukraine, as well as during the development and implementation of an integrated information exchange system on the "e-Navigation" strategy principles.
