Students Kjetil Vasstein (left) and Thomas Skarshaug (right) have been developing a simulator for the Autoferry project as a part of their coursework for Experts in Teamwork (EIT).

The Autoferry stand at Ocean Week 2019 is now up and running. At the stand you can try the ferry simulator developed by students who participated in this year's Autoferry village for the Experts in Teamwork (EIT) course, represented in the photo by Kjetil Vasstein (left) and Thomas Skarshaug (right).

The simulator allows the user to add different sensors to the ferry and thereby makes it possible to test several sensor configurations without actually implementing them on the ferry.

The simulator will also be used to run collision avoidance scenarios, enabling us to thoroughly test the algorithms before we go out and test them on the real ferry.

For students

If you are interested in working with the project, check out our student project/master thesis proposals at autoferry.github.io.

Another option is to chose the "Nemo" village for the Experts in Teamwork (EIT) course where the question is: How can computer games be used to renew the maritime industry?
