Title:
Identification and characterization of vessel operational best practices using machine learning
Agreement Value:
$231,000.00
Agreement Date:
Sep 1, 2021 - Aug 31, 2026
Description:
The Project involves the analysis of vessel operational data to identify and characterize operator best practices for navigating through a given route with optimal fuel performance. The Project is being conducted for a vessel that operates along a single transit route. Operational data from the vessel has already been collected for two consecutive years and will be used as the basis of this investigation. The analysis of the large data set will use machine learning techniques in an attempt to identify key features of the navigation technique that will lead to optimal fuel performance. These features will then be characterized and incorporated into a decision support system framework that will be used for this vessel and potentially vessels as well as fostering additional research.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
