Machine-Type Communication for Maritime Internet-of-Thing

Издание на английском языке
Internet of Things (IoT) can be viewed as a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling applications and services in the fields such as energy, health, and transportation by seamlessly interconnecting and integrating “things” into the information network. The IoT technology is expected to burgeon in the coming decade. The same situation abounds in the maritime domain, as manifested by the recent effort by the United Nations chartered International Maritime Organization (IMO) to modernize the maritime industry under the name “e-Navigation,” involving the harmonized collection, integration, exchange, presentation, and analysis of maritime information to enhance berth-to-berth navigation and related services for safety and security at sea as well as the protection of the marine environment.
