Abstract(s)
Portugal, país com um dos maiores espaços marítimos do mundo, está sujeito ao elevado risco inerente ao intenso tráfego marítimo que nas suas águas navega. A Marinha Portuguesa é responsável pela salvaguarda da vida humana no mar, e por isso tem por missão garantir a eficiência nos processos e na gestão de recursos. Nesse âmbito, foi desenvolvida uma ferramenta que automatiza o processo de cálculo da deriva do manual de busca e salvamento da IMO (International Maritime Organization), o IAMSAR.
Quando é recebido um alerta no MRCC (Maritime Rescue Control Centre) de um incidente no mar, o planeamento de busca é iniciado com a determinação de um datum (localização mais provável do objeto da busca após determinado período de tempo). Atualmente, o MRCC Lisboa, solicita o cálculo da deriva ao IH e, por forma a colmatar esta dependência, a ferramenta “IAMSAR Drift” foi desenvolvida de modo a dar autonomia ao SMC (Search and rescue Mission Co-ordinator) e permitir assim que seja despendido menos tempo neste processo – garantindo, assim, a componente operacional desta ferramenta.
A atual ferramenta de cálculo de derivas utilizado no IH carece de alguns ajustes; no entanto, a sua base não permite que o código seja alterado, impossibilitando assim a evolução da ferramenta. A ferramenta desenvolvida no âmbito desta dissertação de mestrado irá permitir que, com as necessidades detetadas no dia-a-dia, sejam introduzidos ajustes, quer no modo de representação dos dados, como no próprio cálculo de deriva. É ainda de salientar que a ferramenta “IAMSAR Drift”, para os casos estudados, além das vantagens mencionadas, conferiu maior rigor no cálculo de datums.
Pretende-se, com esta dissertação, melhorar o processo de cálculo de deriva, garantindo maior autonomia aos SMC e, consequentemente, concedendo-lhe mais tempo para a tomada de decisão, pois cada minuto é crucial quando o assunto se trata da salvaguarda da vida humana no mar.
Portugal, country with one of the largest maritime areas in the world, has a high risk of sea incidents, inherent from the intense maritime traffic in his jurisdiction. The Portuguese Navy is the most responsible organization for the safety of life at sea in Portugal, and one of their main focus nowadays is the improvement on the efficient management of resources and processes. In this context, a tool was developed so an existent drift manual process as the IMO (International Maritime Organization), IAMSAR method, could be automatized. After MRCC (Maritime Rescue Control Centre) receives an alert of an incident at sea, the search planning process starts with the determination of the datum (most likely location of the search object for the corrected drift). Presently, MRCC Lisbon, requests IH (Instituto Hidrográfico) the drift motion prediction. This tool was developed in order to MRCC close the dependency to other entities for SAR information, this allows SMC (Search and rescue Mission Co-ordinator) to spend less time with this process, ensuring the operational component of this tool. Present IH tool for drift motion prediction needs some adjustments, on other way, it’s bases doesn’t allow the code to be changed, so the improvement of this tool isn’t possible. The tool developed in the scope of this master's thesis will allow that the nowadays problems shape the tool as it needs, like changing the way data is shown, or even the drift calculation parameters. Beside the advantages already mentioned, for the studied cases, “IAMSAR Drift” had less error between the drift and the real position. With this project, it is intended to improve the drift motion calculation process, ensuring more autonomy to the SMC, consequently, giving him more time for decision making on other tasks during SAR operations, since each minute is crucial when it comes to safety of life at sea.
