Proposal for Improved Navigation Safety of Non Solas Vessels by Combining TSS And IoT Technology

This paper presents the concept of increasing navigation safety, especially from the point of view of Non SOLAS vessels and in areas with limited navigation space. The concept consists of a symbiosis of the traditional Traffic Separation Scheme with the concept of E-navigation and VTS as a service provider. The idea is that Non SOLAS vessels, using smartphones with the appropriate application and IoT cloud platform (server and appropriate software), become identified by other vessels and VTS.
