Motion prediction of vehicles surrounding the GRT vehicle: Interaction-aware motion prediction model

2getthere specialises in autonomous people transport through their GRT vehicle, used for transporting people at the airport from the parking to the terminal to ensure the GRT can operate comfortably and safely in a mixed traffic environment. The vehicle needs to plan a smooth and collision-free path. An essential aspect of a safe path is to...

Vehicle motion prediction for autonomous driving: A deep learning model based on vehicle interaction and road geometry using a semantic map

To be able to understand the dynamic driving environment, an autonomous vehicle needs to predict the mo- tion of other traffic participants in the driving scene. Motion prediction can be done based on experience and recently observed series of past events, and entails reasoning about probable outcomes with these past ob- servations. Aspects that...

Improving real-time ship motion predictions by fusing measurements and hydro-dynamical modeling

Real-time ship motion predictions contributes to safer operations at sea and increases workability. Nowadays, a handful of people and companies are actively working on this subject. Most approaches use the ship’s navigational radar to first predict the wavefield surrounding the vessel and then calculate the motion response. One of the methods...

Vessel motion prediction for Pioneering Spirit in shallow water: Quantification and reduction of uncertainty

The Poineering Spirit is a heavy lift vessel that can lift offshore platforms in a single lift. Due to the waves, the vessel moves with respect to the platform. To make sure the vessel does not hit the platform, a motion compensation system is installed on the Pioneering Spirit. The maximum allowable vessel motions during<br/>the operation are...

Deterministic Wave Prediction as Support for Launch & Recovery Operations: A study into applications of the waveradar in the Feadship Comfort System

Experience-based decision making by crew plays a key role in the safe and effective execution of maritime operations. For yachts and naval vessels, common operations can be identified as helicopter operations (take-off and landing), launch and recovery of small craft and (dis)embarkment to and from these small craft. All of these operations are...
