Evolution of Safety in Marine Systems: From System-Theoretic Process Analysis to Automated Test Scenario Generation

Abstract The technological development ongoing in the maritime industry is making ground for remotely and even autonomously operated vessels future. This a result of increased data collection, processing inter-connectivity capabilities. working towards safety, improved efficiency ship’s operation, environmental performance more cost-effective shipping. New technologies are developed order to reach these goals, DNV as Class society developing frameworks assurance such systems. certification ships with high degree automation or autonomy needs an focus on software, understanding human-to-machine interaction resulting ability solve complex operations secure way. In this paper, method high-level risk analysis safety aspects autonomous combined automatic simulation-based testing control system, proposed.
