Paolo Braca and  the Data Knowledge and Operational Effectiveness (DKOE) team – NATO STO-CMRE – Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation said about Promenade: “Data Knowledge and Operational Effectiveness (DKOE) team – NATO STO-CMRE – Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation – is proud and honored to partecipate in Promenade – EUH2020, funded by the European Commission, EU H2020 Research & Innovation Programme.

European waters are navigated daily by some 12,000 vessels, which share their positions to avoid collisions, generating a huge number of positional messages every month. It is important that this overabundance of information will not overwhelm the marine operator in charge for decision-making. 

Promenade promotes collaborative exchange of these information between maritime surveillance authorities, cutting down the time to market and guaranteeing compliance with legal and ethical regulations and norms. 

The use of Artificial Intelligence allows the analysis of a large amount of data also by combining it with the use of big data infrastructure to improve border and external security capabilities.
Promenade will foster new technologies to provide to the Border Guards Authorities a toolkit for automatic vessel detection, tracking and behavior analysis.” 

They pointed out the importance of PROMENADE as an innovative #toolkit for improving vessel tracking, behaviour analysis and automatic anomaly detection by means of #artificial intelligence and Big #Data technologies and for enabling collaborative exchange of information between #maritime surveillance authorities.
