Ship collision risk assessment has advanced over recent years, enhancing maritime safety. However, existing studies often describe ship domains and collision risk assessments in a static manner, lacking interactivity. Interactive visualization of collision risk, especially in multi-ship scenarios has not been sufficiently developed. This gap prompted the development of "FURIOUS: Fully Unified Risk-assessment with Interactive Operational User System for vessels." This tool aids in visualizing and analyzing collision risk of multi-ship encounter situation through real-time visualization. Our system processes data from Automatic Identification System (AIS). The system performs ship domain calculations and collision risk assessments supported by geographical computations, and includes features like real-time vessel display and collision type detection. Interactive and user-selectable elements, along with dynamic maps enhance real-time decision-making to ensure navigation safety. Additionally, the system aids both experienced and novice users in understanding complicated maritime dynamic environments. Users can adjust parameters like ship type, ship IDs, time window and map type for tailored analyses and proactive collision avoidance. We conducted a user study to validate these features, confirming that they effectively improve situational awareness and enhance decision-making capabilities in real-world scenarios. This paper details the design, implementation, and evaluation of this tool, highlighting its potential to transform maritime decision-making by improving situational awareness and enhancing operational efficiency.
近年来，船舶碰撞风险评估取得了进展，提高了海上安全性。然而，现有研究往往以静态方式描述船舶领域和碰撞风险评估，缺乏交互性。碰撞风险的交互式可视化，特别是在多船场景中，尚未得到充分发展。这一差距促使了“FURIOUS：船舶交互式操作用户系统的完全统一风险评估”的开发。该工具通过实时可视化帮助可视化和分析多船相遇情况的碰撞风险。我们的系统处理来自自动识别系统（AIS）的数据。该系统在地理计算的支持下进行船舶领域计算和碰撞风险评估，并包括实时船舶显示和碰撞类型检测等功能。交互式和用户可选择的元素以及动态地图增强了实时决策，以确保航行安全。此外，该系统有助于有经验的用户和新手理解复杂的海上动态环境。用户可以调整船舶类型、船舶识别码、时间窗口和地图类型等参数，以进行定制分析和主动避碰。我们进行了一项用户研究来验证这些功能，证实它们在实际场景中有效地提高了态势感知并增强了决策能力。本文详细介绍了该工具的设计、实现和评估，强调了其通过提高态势感知和增强运营效率来改变海上决策的潜力。
