Resumen

La introducción del Sistema de Identificación Automática (SIA) para la navegación
ha llevado a utilizar datos archivados en la evaluación de riesgos para la navegación
marítima. El programa informático IWRAP de la Asociación Internacional de
Ayudas a la Navegación Marítima y Autoridades de Faros (IALA) utiliza las
estadísticas derivadas de los datos del SIA para determinar la probabilidad de que
se produzcan colisiones y varadas en las vías navegables en las que el tráfico
marítimo sigue las rutas habituales. Alternativamente, la Autoridad Hidrográfica de
Nueva Zelanda implementó una superposición ponderada en un Sistema de
Información Geográfica (SIG) utilizando datos del SIA junto con más información
geográfica de una vía navegable para determinar el riesgo. Estos métodos se
prueban en las aguas de Trinidad del Golfo de Paria para determinar los beneficios.
Se llega a la conclusión de que cada método ofrece una contribución
diferente al proceso de toma de decisiones para mejorar la seguridad de la
navegación.

Certain articles, especially those dealing with historical aspects, may well have to quote unpublished, archival or 'cumbersome' material, some of which may require further explanation in note form.
