Vessel Height Surveillance System (VHSS^TM) is a core capability of VIPS^® which offers automatic height measurement through combination of vision-based, artificial intelligence and calibration techniques. VHSS^TM can ascertain the position of vessel’s mast, and measure the height of the vessel. This is an automatic, essential and user-friendly feature that eliminates manual checks which can be slow, tedious and prone to human error. The system is being deployed for Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).

Features

• Automating Safety Enforcement at coastal/waterway
  
  • Prevent collision of vessel with structures like sea bridges/highway, cable car’s aerial ropeway or any low-lying infrastructure
  • Prevent collision of vessel with low-flying aircraft (which is taking off/landing) for airbase/airport near sea-port
  • Alert is raised to notify security/operational staff when vessel exceeds the configurable allowed-height

• Automating Security Enforcement at coastal/waterway
  
  • VHSS^TM provides an additional layer of security check to validate the identity of the vessel received from AIS system, thus minimising the chance of security threats due to forgery of vessel identity
  • Alert is raised to notify security/operational staff when vessel’s height does not match with profile received from AIS or other available database
