This research empirically evaluates safety climate and safety behavior in the passenger ferry context. Using survey data collected from 155 respondents working for passenger ferry companies in Taiwan, hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the effects of safety climate on self-reported safety behaviors. Confirmatory factor analysis identified five main dimensions of safety climate...

Passenger seaports are new starting-points of urban development. They form a independent industry, become incentives for improving infrastructure and increase the tourist attractiveness city itself region. In view changes in passenger service processes, route ferry cruise networks, due to COVID-19, heads ports terminals set strategic tasks determine directions modernization forecast The regions...

An analytical solution is derived to investigate the influence of leakage on tidal response in a coastal leaky confined aquifer system. The analytical solution developed here is more general than the traditional solution obtained by Ferris [1951], which can be regarded as a special case of the solution presented in this paper. This solution is based on a conceptual model under the assumption th...

Message ferrying (MF) scheme is a scheme to restore a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) from partitioning. Despite of effectiveness, it suffers from long delay caused by the poor design of ferry route. The Message Ferry Route (MFR) problem has been studied to minimize this drawback of MF schemes. In this paper, we argue that an adaptive way of constructing the ferry route would be more practical an...

This paper presents an approach for conformance testing and fault injection of distributed systems supported by a tool named FSoFIST (Ferry-clip with Software Fault Injection Support Tool). The approach extends the ferryclip concept to cope with fault injection. The ferry-clip concept was aimed at providing a highly modular, flexible and configurable architecture for protocol conformance testin...

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are special case of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where non real-time applications are appreciated as compared to real time because of very frequent network partitions caused by high node mobility. Delay tolerant network (DTN) follows the approach of store and forward i.e. message ferrying. In this paper the selection of ferry to forward the data is based on...

We consider the problem of controlling mobile data ferries for message delivery among disconnected, scattered domains in a highly partitioned network. Existing work on data ferry control mostly focuses on predetermined ferry routes, assuming full observations at the ferry and no explicit Quality of Service (QoS) constraints on the resulting communications. In this paper, we aim at designing a Q...
