An extensible component-based platform for a wide
range of Vessel Traffic Management Solutions
Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) ensure the safety of maritime operations,
improve the efficiency of navigation, and protect the marine
environment. VTS is especially important for those areas where traffic
congestion increases the risk of incidents or where the environmental
consequences of an incident could be severe. Due to the potential risk of
human casualties and long lasting environmental effects caused by
maritime disasters, public pressure on government and local authorities
has increased . Subsequently, the demand for VTS systems throughout
the coastal traffic highways of the world is also growing. VTS systems are
no longer reserved only for major ports, waterways, and maritime
authorities but are increasingly significant for a wide array of smaller
though equally important maritime service providers.
