Safe navigation in inland waters, particularly in channels\nor near land requires dedicated predictions of a significant set of\nmeteorological and oceanographic variables such as sea level, currents, wind,\nvisibility, and wave regime. In addition, inland waters are more difficult to\nnavigate when officially installed setting of buoys is inexistent, which poses\nan increased set of safety issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SISMAR project aims to develop a system by coupling\na number of other subsystems, some in operational, which allow improving the\nforecasting and interpretation of meteorological and oceanographic variables by\ninstalling dedicated monitoring equipment and by providing a summary of\ndecisions taken previously for similar offshore navigation conditions by\nsimilar vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project will have as main outcomes: a mobile app\nfor the navigation safety assessment; a management system, and forecasts. The\nfishing and recreation boating associations (APARA, CENARIO e NADO) will\nprovide access to end users for the correct adaptation of the systems to be\ndeveloped to users\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
