The present project would be another step for using state of the art, IT devices and hardware, to increase safety at sea mainly focusing on both collision and grounding avoidance. In this paper, the modules to detect an obstacle and to calculate the evasive route are based on a customized simulation model: such a model is able to represent the dynamic behaviour of a ship, including hydrodynamics, propulsion, and control effects. The suggested route selected by the decision support system and some environmental parameters coupled with some of the ship parameters are visualized on a smart &ldquo;virtual bridge&rdquo; exploiting virtual reality techniques. A suitable graphical interface has been developed and installed, in order to enhance the situation awareness.<br> The project also focuses on the communication architecture, which relies on a publish-subscribe paradigm and is responsible to forward ship control parameters both to the virtual bridge and towards an ashore control centre, either for supervising or for remote control.<br> Overall, both the potentiality and the limits of the proposed system have been critically discussed. 000007587 542__ $$fCC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 000007587 6531_ $$aAutonomous Ship 000007587 6531_ $$aMarine Control System 000007587 6531_ $$aVirtual Reality 000007587 6531_ $$aSituation Awareness 000007587 6531_ $$aMaritime Mobile Communications 000007587 6531_ $$aDecision Support System 000007587 7001_ $$aMartelli, M$$uDept. of Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (DITEN), Polytechnic School of Genoa University, Genova, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aFigari, M$$uDept. of Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (DITEN), Polytechnic School of Genoa University, Genova, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$adi Summa, M$$uNational Research Council, Institute of Automation and Industrial Technologies, (CNR-ITIA), Bari, Milano, Lecco, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aViganò, G P$$uNational Research Council, Institute of Automation and Industrial Technologies, (CNR-ITIA), Bari, Milano, Lecco, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aSacco, M$$uNational Research Council, Institute of Automation and Industrial Technologies, (CNR-ITIA), Bari, Milano, Lecco, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aCassarà, P$$uNational Research Council, Institute of Science and Information Technologies, (CNR-ISTI), Pisa, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aGotta, A$$uNational Research Council, Institute of Science and Information Technologies, (CNR-ISTI), Pisa, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aSebastiani, L$$uSeastema s.p.a, Genova, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aDelucchi, G$$uFincantieri s.p.a, Genova, Italy 000007587 7001_ $$aGuglia, P$$uFincantieri s.p.a, Trieste, Italy 000007587 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of INEC 000007587 773__ $$jINEC 2018 000007587 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/2249696$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007587 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/inec$$yConference website 000007587 8564_ $$9a7ec13fc-ea91-4d71-b864-2b41662e2df6$$s3315613$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7587/files/INEC%202018%20Paper%20023%20Martelli%20FINAL.pdf
