Degré, T. and Guedes Soares, C. (1998), “Ship's Movement Prediction in the Maritime Traffic Image Advanced System (MATIAS)”, Maritime Engineering and Ports, Sciutto, G. and Brebbia, C.A. (Eds.), Computational Mechanics Publications, Southampton, pp. 207-216

The object of this paper is to describe the feasibility study of MATIAS system in which are designed and implemented processing methods to construct on-line the Traffic Image of any regional sea areas - and in particular to predict ships Estimated Time of Arrival (ETAs) - in order to improve the management of maritime tarnsport, especially the logistic aspects. Design and development aspects of the MATIAS system, and the assessment of the quality of MATIAS predictions are described.
