SWOT Analysis of Unmanned Surface Vehicle for Environmental Monitoring Tasks in Maritime Ports

Abstract

Ports are becoming commercial centre due to large amounts of cargo transported via commercial shipment. These large structures, which can provide almost all the needs of the ships traveling on the high seas from a single point, have high importance for the region. In maritime transportation, ports serve special purposes for merchant vessels. On the other hand, Intelligent Transport Systems became the main target of logistic market. ITS’ primarily aim includes safe, smart and clean mobility and as well as saving on money, time and energy. Demand of high amounts of cargo operation causes high vessel traffic in maritime ports. For environmental protection all these merchant vessel traffic should be monitored. The easiest and cheapest way of continuously monitoring is unmanned or autonomous surface vehicles. In this study, SWOT analysis of unmanned surface vehicles is used for determining which communication sensor is suitable in ports. RF, LTE, Bluetooth and WLAN technologies are compared in the scope of different properties of sensors.
