Maritime ANalyTics Intelligence System - MANTIS

公共导航MANTIS是一个项目，重点是利用地理空间数据来解决英国沃茨内航运和海事导航服务面临的新的和正在出现的挑战。灯塔管理局（General Lighthouse Authority）（及其姊妹组织，Trinity House），在运输部的管辖下，为所有海员的安全、海上贸易的效率和不列颠群岛整个沃茨的海洋环境保护提供海上辅助导航服务。需要更好地了解，然后预测，英国的既定目标是大幅提高海上风电场的产能，这对航运业的影响。该项目将通过对一段时间内英国沃茨的船舶运动和位置进行创新分析，并利用人工智能和机器学习技术来识别不断变化的运动模式，为拟议的未来风电场实施提供预测结果。主要申请人Emu Analytics是一家年轻的英国微型中小企业，在为大型、快速和实时数据创建创新的地理空间分析和可视化解决方案方面拥有丰富的经验。其解决方案目前广泛应用于航空领域，包括IAG在内的知名用户（英国航空公司）、希思罗机场和民航局，其中利用大的地理空间飞机定位数据对英国领空内的飞机行为和模式进行分析。MANTIS将寻求适应、发展和将这种专业知识和能力从航空转移到海上，利用可比较的海事部门船舶位置数据，并最终产生一个强大的商业级解决方案，可供广泛的公共和私营部门组织使用。

Public descriptionMANTIS is a project focused on using geospatial data to address new and emerging challenges facing shipping and maritime navigational services within UK waters. The challenge is posed by the General Lighthouse Authority (and its sister organisation, Trinity House) who, under the jurisdiction of the Department for Transport, provide maritime aids to navigation services for the safety of all mariners, efficiency of maritime trade and protection of the marine environment throughout waters of the British Isles.The need is to better understand, and then predict, the impacts to shipping of the UK's stated aim to significantly increase off-shore wind farming capacity.This project will achieve this through the innovative analysis of ship movements and positions, throughout UK waters over periods of time, and utilising AI and machine learning technologies to identify evolving patterns of movement, leading to predictive outcomes for proposed future wind farm implementations.Lead applicant, Emu Analytics, is a young, UK-based micro-SME with extensive experience in creating innovative geospatial analytics and visualisation solutions designed for big, fast and real-time data.Its solutions are currently used extensively within the aviation sector, with notable users including IAG (British Airways), Heathrow and the Civil Aviation Authority, wherein analysis of aircraft behaviours and patterns within UK airspace are undertaken, using big geospatial aircraft positioning data.MANTIS will seek to adapt, evolve and transfer this expertise and capability from aviation to maritime, utilising the comparable maritime sector ship positional data, and ultimately producing a powerful, commercial grade solution that could be utilised by a broad range of public and private sector organisations.
