SCRE Ship Collision Risk Evaluation

A hybrid Artificial Intelligence framework combining Automatic Identification System (AIS) trajectories, meteorological observations, fuzzy logic, and deep learning to estimate maritime collision risk and support navigational decision making. This project represents my first major transition from structural engineering into applied Artificial Intelligence.

Research Motivation

Why SCRE?

Ship collision remains one of the most significant operational risks in modern maritime transportation. Traditional collision assessment methods rely heavily on deterministic calculations and expert judgement. SCRE investigates whether Artificial Intelligence can improve collision risk estimation by integrating vessel movement, environmental conditions, and uncertainty modelling into a unified predictive framework.
