Collision Avoidance System

See the risk.
Act before impact.

A marine collision avoidance system combining AIS radar, CPA/TCPA alarms, COLREG decision support and 3D vessel traffic awareness for safer ship navigation—on the bridge and on shore.

A clearer traffic picture

One collision picture.
Every critical viewpoint.

CAS combines live AIS, relative motion, vessel geometry and configurable navigation safety rules in one connected ship collision prevention platform. Officers see the encounter from the bridge; shore teams see the wider operational picture.

BRIDGE / PERSPECTIVE

Understand the encounter, not just the symbol.

Targets stay connected to their data cards, course vectors and risk state. Adjustable range and view angles keep dense traffic readable.

  • True and relative motion references
  • Vessel heading, course, speed and dimensions
  • Guard zones with caution and alarm thresholds

Platform capabilities

From first detection
to post-event review.

Purpose-built modules support the full collision-awareness workflow while keeping the officer in control.

01

AIS Radar

Course-up or north-up traffic picture with configurable range, target vectors, trails and vessel-type awareness.

02

Bridge View

A bridge-centred perspective that helps officers understand where a target is, how it is moving and what matters now.

03

3D Traffic View

Explore the traffic field from above. Inspect target geometry, predicted motion and fleet context without losing your own ship.

04

CPA / TCPA Alarms

Adjustable risk limits, visual priority states and escalation-ready events for the bridge and shore operations team.

05

COLREG Support

Encounter classification and officer guidance presented as decision support—with rule basis, confidence and limitations visible.

06

Replay & Reports

Review tracks, alarms and operational history. Build a traceable picture of what happened before, during and after an event.

07

Port Zone Operations

Define port, anchorage, berth and security zones. Track entry, exit, dwell time and vessel status on a zone-first operational timeline.

08

Sensor Integration

Combine AIS and own-ship GNSS with optional thermal camera inputs and selected onboard or shore-side data sources.

Live system in action

One traffic picture.
Three operational views.

Explore the working CAS prototype with live AIS targets, ship-centred geometry, CPA/TCPA calculations, COLREG encounter support and a navigable 3D traffic scene.

A navigable 3D scene gives bridge and shore teams a faster sense of target location, heading, range and developing traffic density.

Collision intelligence

Risk that explains itself.

CAS does more than colour a target. It shows the inputs, encounter assessment, safety limits and time-to-risk behind each alert.

CAS is an advisory decision-support system. It is designed to support—never replace—radar/ARPA, visual lookout, COLREG compliance and the professional judgment of the officer of the watch.

Shipboard to shore

A complete vessel package.
A private shore picture.

CAS combines compact shipboard hardware with a shore-side monitoring environment, giving operators control of their own live picture, alarm rules and historical data.

01 / REQUIRED

AIS receiver

Receives nearby AIS-equipped vessels and feeds the CAS traffic picture, target tracks and collision calculations.

02 / REQUIRED

GNSS / GPS

Supplies accurate own-ship position, course and speed so range, bearing, CPA and TCPA calculations remain ship-centred.

03 / OPTIONAL

Thermal camera

Adds a visual layer for darkness, glare and reduced-visibility operations. Camera integration can support target verification and bridge awareness.

04 / EDGE

CAS vessel station

Processes AIS locally, keeps the bridge display available and stores data during connectivity interruptions.

SMC COMPATIBLEPRIVATE SHORE MONITORING

See the vessel environment from the office—live and historically.

Selected traffic, alarms and vessel status can be forwarded securely to the company's own server environment and monitored by authorised shore personnel.

  • Live remote awarenessMonitor the vessel's AIS traffic picture, own-ship state and developing collision risks.
  • Historical logsRetain tracks, alerts, zone events and operational history according to server or hard-disk capacity.
  • No external tracking subscription requiredOperate the core monitoring system on your own infrastructure without paying for a separate public vessel-tracking website.
  • Multi-channel alertingConfigure pre-collision notifications for bridge and shore teams through supported channels such as email, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS or webhooks.
  • SMC Platforms integrationCAS is designed to work with the SMC Platforms live tracking, bridge, radar, control-station and reporting environment.

Zone & port operations

Turn every zone call
into an operational record.

Ports and shore teams can define operational and security areas, follow vessel activity live, and reconstruct each visit through a time-based history.

OPERATIONS TIMELINE / GANTT

Follow the complete port call—not only the current position.

The Operations Timeline converts AIS and zone events into a chronological port-call record. Teams can move from the live map to a zone-first or vessel-first history and understand when each vessel entered, anchored, moved, berthed and departed.

01

Configurable zones

Create port limits, berth areas, anchorages, restricted waters, approach corridors and custom safety perimeters.

02

Operational timeline

Track entry, exit, anchor, berth, movement and dwell-time events by zone, vessel, type and selected date range.

03

Zone alarms

Trigger notifications for unauthorised entry, extended dwell, boundary crossing, unexpected movement or rule-specific conditions.

04

Logs & reporting

Retain the underlying AIS evidence and export filtered operational histories to CSV or management-ready PDF reports.

05

Port security view

Prioritise vessels inside monitored areas and identify stopped, moored, anchoring or moving targets without losing the wider traffic context.

06

Replay & audit

Revisit vessel tracks and zone events to investigate alarms, support incident review and document operational performance.

Flexible deployment

Start with one vessel.
Scale to the fleet.

A compact shipboard edge station can feed the bridge display and securely forward selected data to a shore portal when connectivity is available.

02CAS edgeDecode, calculate, store
03Bridge displaysRadar, bridge, 3D
04Shore portalFleet, alerts, history
Works through interruptions

Local bridge awareness remains available independently; queued operational data can resume when the internet connection returns.

Configurable by vessel

Ranges, CPA limits, alert routing, display density and own-ship parameters can be adapted to the vessel and operating area.

Evidence after the event

Retain AIS history, target tracks, zone activity and alarm records according to the selected storage policy and hardware capacity.
