STCW条約からみた状況認識システムの性能指標の提案

抄録

International rules are currently being discussed regarding Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), and the International Maritime Organization plans to bring the MASS code into force in 2028 as a mandatory regulation. When formulating MASS rules, the level of autonomous navigation is sometimes discussed by using the level of autonomous driving as a reference point. However, as the roles and responsibilities defined by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) are quite different from those of autonomous driving, it is not appropriate to apply the standards for automated driving directly to MASS. Performance indicators for situational awareness system for MASS should vary depending on the ship type and operating mode, but there have not been enough discussions from this point of view. On the other hand, if a proposal separates the performance indicator conditions for situational awareness systems from the perspective of STCW, it will be useful to refer to the standards for automated driving from the perspective of Object and Event Detection and Response (OEDR). In this paper, the authors present regulatory and physical constraints that should be considered when deciding performance indicators for situational awareness systems for MASS, in addition to OEDR for MASS.
