A model of the radar situation of the coastal vessel traffic control system

Abstract

Since the elements of the ship traffic control system at sea (VTS) are geographically distributed, and the observed spaces have well-defined zones, the radar facilities (radars) that make up their technological basis are evaluated by the ability to detect, classify (recognize), and ensure tracking of ships at a certain range in the spatial zone. The solution of these problems is probabilistic in nature, and the indicators are represented by random functions. However, due to the complexity of accounting for random factors in such stochastic control systems, calculations of their efficiency indicators are usually carried out deterministically for the "average" values of random parameters. The development of a mathematical model for evaluating the effectiveness of VTS in its ability to detect marine targets is a scientific task, the solution of which is possible using elements of the theory of random functions and processes.
