Development of HHI’s Advanced Navigation Assistance System for Safe Voyage

Abstract

In industry 4.0, the paradigm of technologies has been actively changing in fields of artificial intelligence and autonomous system. Shipbuilding industry is also investing autonomous navigation system, including collision avoidance supporting system and navigation assistance system using leading-edge technologies such as deep learning, sensor fusion, and augmented reality (AR). Hyundai heavy industry has developed advanced navigation assistance system called Hi-NAS, which uses radar ARPA, AIS as well as a forward-looking camera. The output of Hi-NAS is an AR-based display overlayed information on own ship's and other ships status and indices of collision risk. It is expected that the display can assist crews to navigate safer.
