iHelm project is a research collaboration between Center of Applied Intelligent Systems Research (CAISR) at Halmstad University and CetaSol AB, an industry partner based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Funded by the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova).
To meet the urgent requirements for the climate change mitigation, several proactive measures of energy efficiency have been implemented in maritime industry. Many of these practices depend highly on the onboard data of vessel's operation and environmental conditions.
In this project, high resolution onboard data have been collected from two passenger vessels in Archipelago of Gothenburg and Baltic Sea, Sweden, to improve vessels energy efficiency in short-sea shipping (SSS).
The summary report for summarizing the major methods and key findings of this project is available here PDF file
The complete technical report is available here PDF file
Additionally, we have developed several tools and models to aid in our analysis and optimization efforts:
- For modeling energy efficiency of a vessel in SSS, please refer to our ST4EESSS, GitHub repository.
- For voyage optimization of a vessel in SSS, please refer to our TSA4EESSS, GitHub repository.
- For path identification of vessels in SSS, please refer to our Path_Clustering, GitHub repository.
