Security & Safety Training and Assessment in Ports based on Interoperable Simulation
Authors: Agostino Bruzzone, Alberto Tremori, Enrico Bocca
Abstract
The present research proposes a Virtual Port Simulator based on an HLA technology, devoted to cooperative training in Harbor Security Procedures to support Maritime Security Transportation Act and International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (SOLAS). Within these frameworks a clear requirement for port security assessment & training is addressed, therefore the complexity of Harbors as well as the wide type of possible crisis create complex conditions to properly face this challenges. This paper presents a Virtual Port solution developed by the authors in term of architecture, model description, and configuration for training and security assessment. In fact, the creation of a common Virtual Port as synthetic environment with stochastic constructive and virtual simulation, where each federate represents an actor interoperating with other ones. By this approach the simulation supports both training and security assessment in term of procedures and considering the necessity to coordinate the different actors and to consider all the different issues. The final result is the definition of a new approach to face security by a joint simulation that involves concurrently all active actors for port protection.
