Abstract
It is indisputable that a great deal of brand new technologies such as the internet of things, (IoT) big data, and cloud computing are conquering every aspect of our life. So, in the branch of marine technology, the mentioned technologies are also being applied to obtain more features and to automate marine-related operations as well as creating novel smart devices. As a result of this, traditional ports and ships are being replaced by smart ports and vessels. To achieve this transition, numerous applications need to be developed to make them smart. The purpose of this paper is to present a dedicated an IoT-based system for automating linkage procedures by searching for available locations via port-mounted sensors and planned ship notification. In the experimental system, we have used smartphone as an alternative to the client-side vessel of the system and created an Android app called “Smart Ship Berthing” instead of the charging program, for instance, NORIVIS 4, VDASH, ODYSSEY, etc. To test our proposed server-side system, we used Raspberry Pi with a combination of an ultrasonic sensor to detect the ship and modify the empty berth for anchoring. The experimental results show that the set of UR sensors have high accuracy to detect ships at the port for ship berthing and our proposed system is very amenable to implementation in the real marine environment.
Highlights
Embedded technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things, represent the adoption of Industry 4.0 technology in the maritime field
We have created a well-designed application running on Android OC called “Ship Berthing”
The entire intended work in the port system is performed by Raspberry Pi and by a set of ultrasonic sensors connected to Raspberry Pi
Summary
Embedded technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things, represent the adoption of Industry 4.0 technology in the maritime field. It is no paradox that humans are surrounded by technologies and that is why intelligent technologies do almost all the work we do during our daily existence. Humans are trying hard to develop numerous automation areas, for instance, smart strollers, smart cars, smart watches, smart cameras, and smart umbrellas, etc. Even the places where we study [2], live, and work have become smart. In this context, all objects and elements are replaced by their smart alternatives. It should be mentioned that large companies from developed countries are still studying these two big projects
