Current

FAST-CAST 2 - AI-based evaluation of earth observation data and weather model forecasts to generate optimal ship routes in polar waters
The "FAST-CAST 2" project helps to suggest optimised ship routes through ice-covered areas from satellite-based earth observation and weather forecasts.

Time period: 01.11.2021 - 30.04.2025
Leadership: Prof. Dr. Christof Büskens

Finished

GALILEOnautic 2
The aim of this project is to further develop the system for automated navigation and optimised manoeuvring of networked, cooperating ships developed in the predecessor project GALILEOnautic.

Time period: 01.10.2018 - 30.09.2021
Leadership: Prof. Dr. Christof Büskens, Dr. Arne Berger, Wiebke Bergmann

MAP-BORealis - Assisted navigation in sea ice on Arctic passages by calculating optimal routes using satellite based remote sensing data
MAP-BORealis is concerned with the development of a route optimisation for vessels in ice-covered waters of the Arctic.

Time period: 01.07.2019 - 30.06.2021
Leadership: Prof. Dr. Christof Büskens

GALILEOnautic

Time period: 01.07.2016 - 30.06.2018
Leadership: Prof. Dr. Christof Büskens

HERCULES-2
The aim of this international project is the further development of powerful marine engines in terms of engine reliability and the reduction of fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.

Time period: 01.05.2015 - 31.10.2018
Leadership: Prof. Dr. Christof Büskens, Dr.-Ing. Mitja Echim
