针对海运船舶安全高效航行的重大需求，结合当前国际海事组织在全球范围内推行的“e-航海”战略，运用先进的信息技术和智能化思想，研究基于船舶航行条件和业务逻辑的航海信息智能处理与显示方法，自动感知船舶航行环境和条件以及航行意图，“在恰当的时机提供恰当的信息”；研究岸基信息支持下的狭窄水域中船舶航行风险预警理论，对狭窄水域中本船周围静动态目标和航行条件进行实时分析与监测，实现船舶避碰、避礁、防搁浅一体化预警；研究基于船舶交管信息、航路水文信息、引航服务信息等典型岸基支持信息的船舶航行智能决策方法；基于现有电子海图显示与信息系统，研制新一代智能化的船舶导航试验系统，并在远洋船舶上进行实船验证。项目的研究将解决“e-航海”环境下船舶智能导航的核心理论问题，引领船舶智能导航仪器的研发；同时，也为未来无人驾驶船舶的研究奠定坚实的理论和技术基础。

According to the demand of seagoing ship in the field of safety and efficiency, combining with the e-navigation strategy promoted by International Maritime Organization around the world, using the advanced information and intelligent technology, the project would research the intelligent process and display method of navigation information based on sailing condition and business logic, through which the marine navigation system could automatically understand the environment around the ship and officer’s intention, that is to say the right information would be provided for the officer on watch at the right time. And the early warning theory about navigation risk in narrow water under the support of shore-based information would also be researched in this project, which would help the operation of collision avoidance, riff avoidance and anti-ground by monitoring and analyzing sailing condition, dynamic and static targets. Besides, the method about intelligent decision-making for navigation would be researched under the support of shore-based information, such as vessel traffic service information, hydrologic information, and pilotage service information. At last, based on the existing Electronic Chart Display and Information System, the next generation of intelligent navigation system would be developed and tested on seagoing ships. The project would solve the core theory of intelligent navigation in the environment of e-navigation, which would lead the development of intelligent navigation instrument. Meanwhile, the result of the project would lay a solid foundation for the theory and technology of the future unmanned ship.
