Across the River: ferries as a vehicle for exploring riverborderscapes
… river, through the routes of estuarine passenger ferries, as they transport passengers from one side of the river to the other. In so doing, attention is given to the riverborder itself, and the spaces on either side. The thesis is based upon a mixed methodology, primarily ethnographic fieldwork, …

Economic feasibility of a fast car-ferry service
… nineties, the introduction of new High Speed Car-Ferries has had an important effect on waterborne transportation networks. In some of the most characteristic routes around the globe, a substitution process of conventional ferries by high-speed units in a certain domain of distances is taking …

Modeling, optimization and environmental assessment of electrified marine vessels
… system designs for fishing boats and passenger ferries are studied based on in-field acquired operational data. A new integrated marine propulsion system modeling and simulation method and a dedicated mobile data acquisition system have been introduced to analyze the energy efficiency, emission …

The impact of safety culture on safety performance: a study of the high speed passenger craft industry in Hong Kong
The premium speed and comfort of fast ferries make them attractive to the operating organizations and passengers, which accounts for the increase in the number of fast ferries in Hong Kong. Although the accident rates are reportedly low, safety has been a concern because of their high-speed in the …

Quantifying human performance during passenger ship evacuation
… of response time distributions for passengers on ferries and cruise ships. It was found that response time distributions generally took a lognormal shape, which is consistent with response time distributions measured in the built environment. Response time distributions generated from repeat …

Dynamic reconfigurable battery systems via graph-based deep reinforcement learning
… vehicles, electric planes, and electric boats/ferries, are built from hundreds or thousands of battery cells connected in fixed series-parallel configurations. These rigid topologies limit efficient power management, making it difficult to respond to dynamic cell imbalance and thereby reducing …

Identification and tracking of marine objects for collision risk estimation.
With the advent of modem high-speed passenger ferries and the general increase in maritime traffic, both commercial and recreational, marine safety is becoming an increasingly important issue. From lightweight catamarans and fishing trawlers to container ships and cruise liners one question remains …
