The potential of and need for autonomous shipping in Hungary
Abstract
The development of autonomous vehicles in transport is a leading research area. This is no different in the field of shipping. In maritime navigation, dynamic positioning systems are now commonplace, and several prototype robotic vessels are already in test operation. Inland water navigation is still largely at the theoretical and experimental modelling stage, using
these results and investigating specificities. This paper gives a brief overview of the current state of the artin autonomous navigation at sea and inland waterways and analyses the opportunities in Hungary. It can be said that there is currently a demand for the development and operation of fully autonomous vessels in Hungary and worldwide. The main reasons for this are crew shortage and crew-related costs, as well as the desire to increase safety and environmental protection. In order to achieve safe and sustainable fully autonomous shipping, research is still
needed in a number of areas.
