Risk and safety of waterborne transportation systems

We evaluate the risk and safety of waterborne transportation in a synthetic and systemic manner adopting of state-of-the-art methods and tools (traffic simulation, ship dynamics, Bayesian Networks, experts elicitation), providing the most effective and optimal solutions to improve the safety of the analysed system.

We provide solutions for the risk-informed decision-making process in the field of waterborne transportation, such as navigation safety analysis, formal safety assessment (FSA), case studies that take into account the antropotechnical dimension of the analysed system.

Modelling ship dynamics both in the open and ice-covered waters

ice routing is quite a demanding task, our team members have been involved in research projects resulting in the development of an ice-routing tool. For more details, the readers are referred to publication 1 and publication 2.
