Managing sea rescue assets and their distribution in the various search and rescue (SAR) locations should be carried out according to some well-defined criteria in order to cover SAR areas of the world properly. In this chapter, we intend to give a comparative literature review of maritime search and rescue (MSAR) operations with more emphasis on asset allocation. A framework of a new approach that aims to locate SAR stations and allocate SAR assets to the stations is introduced to the MSAR literature that takes into account the traffic density of sea and air roads over an SAR responsibility area. The model itself is not covered within this book chapter, but instead its main features are discussed and the differences and novelties with respect to the modeling approaches generally used in the literature are presented.

Maritime accidents forecast model for bosphorus Küçükosmanoğlu, Alp; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) A risk assessment model (MAcRisk) have been developed to forecast the probability and the risk of maritime accidents on Bosphorus. Accident archives of Undersecretariat Maritime Affairs Search and Rescue Department, weather conditions data of Turkish State Meteorological Service and bathymetry and current maps of Office of Navigation, Hydrography and Oceanography have been used to prepare the model input and to forecast the accident probability. Accident data has been compiled according to stated sub-region...
GIS-Based search theory application for search and rescue planning Söylemez, Emrah; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2007) Search and Rescue (SAR) operations aim at finding missing objects with minimum time in a determined area. There are fundamentally two problems in these operations. The first problem is assessing highly reliable probability distribution maps, and the second is determining the search pattern that sweeps the area from the air as fast as possible. In this study, geographic information systems (GIS) and multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) are integrated and a new model is developed based upon Search Theory i...
SEADATANET - A PAN-EUROPEAN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OCEAN AND MARINE DATA MANAGEMENT Bingel, Ferit(2011-3-31) Data availability is of vital importance for marine research but most of the European data are fragmented, not always validated and not easily accessible. In the 40 countries bordering the European seas, more than 600 scientific laboratories from governmental organizations and private industry collect data by using various sensors on board of research vessels, submarines, fixed and drifting platforms, airplanes and satellites to measure physical, geophysical, geological, biological and chemical parameters, ...
Hybrid Approach for Disaster Recovery using P2P Communications in Android Yatbaz, Hakan Yekta; Cinar, Berkem; Gokdemir, Ali; Ever, Enver; Al-Turjman, Fadi; Nguyen, Huan X.; Yazıcı, Adnan (2018-10-04) Disaster recovery and rescuing are challenging tasks due to the unknown parameters related with the victims in disastrous situations. Existing surveillance systems have a degree of efficiency to inform the people through the use of various communication channels about disasters and their area of effect. However, the obscureness of the rescuing process has not been resolved in desirable levels, especially for the cases where the communication infrastructure can also be heavily damaged. Thanks to the prevalen...
Life cycle cost and environmental impact analysis of ship hull maintenance strategies for a short route hybrid ferry Wang, Haibin; Oğuz, Elif; Jeong, Byongug; Zhou, Peilin (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01) This paper provides a general insight into the importance of proper hull maintenance and suggests an optimal maintenance strategy for ship operators from both an economic and environmental point of view. Results of life cycle assessment show that significant cost reductions can be obtained by renewing steels every 10 years within the proposed hull maintenance strategy. The assessment also indicates that annual hull inspections and re-coating can contribute to reducing hull resistance and hence fuel consumpt...
