The IMO Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships Code/Кодекс ИМО по морским автономным надводным судам (Кодекс МАСС ИМО)

Издание на английском языке
This book is a comprehensive examination of the safety and reliability aspects of marine automated ship control systems (MASS). It examines regulatory requirements, the challenges of autonomy, and the need for rigorous software safety validation in complex MASS systems. Particular attention is paid to the concepts of the operating environment (OE) and the operating range (ODD), their role, and practical application in creating robust and traceable system requirements. The book describes a proposed updated interpretation of these concepts and compares current and emerging approaches for improving the integration, reliability, and transparency of MASS systems. Recommendations for developing ODD standards and conceptual examples are included to facilitate a clearer understanding and implementation of requirements.
