MARITIME TRAFFIC SYSTEMS USING SHORE-BASED RADAR

The increasing traffic in confined waters, port areas and inland fairways demand more effective means of navigation. Shore-based radar systems can provide adequate navigational assistance. A number of operational and technical aspects of these systems are discussed. Some systems in which computers are used to store and process various information such as itineraries are briefly described.
