The nerintech platform is a solution for simulating realistic multi sensor scenarios of maritime traffic situations in a multi user mode.

Regular training of operators is a key element for keeping the highest level of maritime safety and security awareness even in front of very unlikely situations. The provision and the maintenance of a simulation platform can represent a significant investment; the nerintech simulation platform is an affordable and easy to implement alternative. Thanks to the integrated portal, simulation scenarios can be stored and shared openly or privately with the other users of the simulation platform.

The nerintech platform enables users to access realistic simulated environments.

The platform is a collaborative environment where several users can simultaneously participate to the same simulated session. The users can be located in various remote locations.

Several sessions of one or several scenarios can be independently run in parallel.

The application can simulate and display the different types of equipment and sensors that are generally used for maritime surveillance.

Additional types of sensors can be easily added, thanks to the flexible and extensible architecture of the platform.

Movement of ships of various sizes can be simulated and "tracked", taking into account the performance and coverage of the sensors.

The ships are moving along trajectories; for each segment of the trajectory, the speed or the duration can be specifically set.

The integrated editor permits to directly update the scenario and observe the modifications on the fly.

For every mobile and every surveillance station, equipment and sensors can be individually attached.

The maritime picture is presented through a user friendly HMI that displays relevant information over standard and maritime charts.

Different types of charts can be displayed through a set of overlapping layers.

Operators can also use predefined views in order to quickly zoom-in to the areas of interest.

S-57 standard maritime charts can be individually selected for being displayed. The families of attributes to be displayed can also be adjusted on the fly directly from the user interface.

Additional S-57 files in S-57 or S-63 formats can be added upon provision of the materials and associated information for activation.

On top of the charts, different layers can be displayed or hidden in order to support the operators in understanding the situation and take the proper decisions.

The radar raw video can be displayed according to a two colour palette: one for the latest radar turn, another one for the afterglow from the previous radar turns. In order to easily distinguish between different radars, each raw video has its own two colour palette.

For the track layer, the information to display can be configured by each user.

The information will be displayed or not according to the data collected by the sensors.

In order to keep the display readable, the level of detail for display is adapted according to the zoom Level.

By selecting a track with the mouse, additional information are displayed in a dedicated box that is updated every time the track information are refreshed.

The video stream from several cameras can be displayed with a representation of the coastline and real time movement of the simulated mobiles.

Operators can take control of the cameras and perform pan, tilt and zoom actions.

Radio messages can be defined as blocks of text that are then played in an audio manner (text to speech) whenever a radio transmitter and a radio receiver are in an acceptable range.

If a radio direction finder is in range, a corresponding strobe will be displayed on the map when a radio transmission occurs from a radio transmitter or a beacon.

The solution can also be accessed from a smartphone with a Human Machine Interface fitting to the size of the device.
Similar functions as on the desktop version are available but adapted to the usual experience on this type of device.

The nerintech simulation platform can be hosted in different manners.

From shared online hosting to fully private on premise hosting:

• dedicated instance on the online nerintech platform,
• dedicated online server operated by nerintech,
• private server totally independent from the nerintech platform.

nerintech can provide a technical support for the elaboration of scenarios.

The support consists in defining the sensors and their location, the mobile platforms and their associated trajectories.
The resulting scenarios can be kept private for a selected number of users or shared openly with the rest of the nerintech community.

nerintech can provide support for conducting technical studies, especially for the creation of various WHAT IF scenarios deducted from an AS IS one.

The analysis of these various WHAT IF scenarios can be particularly useful for comparing different scenarios and supporting the decision making process, or for preparing the staff to a new setup even before it exists.

The nerintech platform can be interfaced with third party systems.

By default, a third party system can subscribe for receiving messages in AIS, IVEF, JSON and XML formats, and images through the WMS and WMTS protocols.

Other protocols can be developed on demand.

Meanwhile, additional layers can be specifically added to the map view, typically custom charts in WMS and WMTS formats.
