The Marine Electronic Fence Smart Warning System is an integrated
maritime safety solution that combines real-time sensing, AI-driven
monitoring, and proactive alerting. The system utilizes radar, AIS,
CCTV, and other data sources to provide pre-warning, real-time
management, and post-event evidence collection, creating a
comprehensive safety supervision platform for high-risk maritime
areas.
Key Capabilities
- Multi-source data fusion and intelligent analysis
- Real-time tracking of vessels in electronic fence zones
- Automated alerts via VHF voice broadcast, AIS messaging, and sound-light alarms
- Highly customizable for ports, offshore wind farms, cable protection, bridge collision prevention, and maritime law enforcement
Core Functionalities
1. Multi-Source Data Acquisition
Supports data from AIS base stations, radar, LiDAR (for ultra-high detection), and CCTV for dynamic vessel tracking within electronic fence zones.
2. VHF Voice Broadcasting
When a vessel crosses a virtual boundary, the system automatically broadcasts its name in Mandarin via VHF radio. Manual override and emergency messages are also supported for 24/7 operation.
3. Sound & Light Alarms
LED panels, signal lights, and directional loudspeakers issue visual and audible alerts to warn ships of zone violations or hazards.
4. CCTV Video Linkage
Remote browser-based access allows for real-time monitoring, video playback, and PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) control. Vessels entering warning zones are tagged, tracked, and automatically recorded.
5. Violation Recording
Enables playback of ship trajectories and synchronized video snapshots for precise violation documentation and enforcement.
6. Hydrological & Visibility Monitoring
Provides real-time data on tides, wind speed/direction, and visibility. Information is shared via app with nearby vessels to enhance situational awareness.
7. AI-Powered Reporting
Generates automatic reports summarizing:
- Number of vessels entering designated zones
- VHF broadcast records
- Light/sound alarm activations
Reports can be sorted by hour, day, month, or year.
