Path planning is a key issue for safe navigation of inland ferries. With the development ship intelligence, how to enhance decision–support system ferry in complex environment one issues. The ferries need cross channel frequently and, thus, risky encounters with target ships waterway are more frequent, so they an intelligent that can deal situations. In this study, reinforced deep learning meth...

This article extends our understanding of inland waterways by theorising the temporary absences water in canals and rivers as possibilities for action, that is, affordances. The interplay absence presence provides a range potentialities various activities practices. Affordance theory can help us to further theorise material position them important elements performing, practicing interpreting pl...
