Using Multi-Agent Simulation to Improve the Security of Maritime Transit

Original language description

Despite their use for modeling traffic in ports and regional waters, multi-agent simulations have not yet been applied to model mar- itime traffic on a global scale. We therefore propose a fully agent-based, data-driven model of global maritime traffic,focusing primarily on mod- eling transit through piracy-affected waters. The model employs finite state machines to represent the behavior of several classes of vessels and can accurately replicate global shipping patterns and approximate real- world distribution of pirate attacks. We apply the model to the problem of optimizing the Gulf of Aden group transit. The results demonstrate the usefulness of agent-based modeling for evaluating and improving op- erational counter-piracy policies and measures.
