Scenario Description
Domain: Sea, air
Situation: A ship has lost its cargo in the Västervik archipelago and the debris has spread over an area outside Gränsö. It needs to be located as fast as possible. Information about the quantity has been given beforehand to make sure that the mission can be conducted successfully.
Area: An estimated area outside Gränsö (see image)
Mission: Search the water for the debris
Objectives: Use available resources to locate and identify the debris
Measures/Scoring:
- Time to locate the debris
- Correctly identified objects
- Traveled distance and energy
Resources:
- USV’s (unmanned surface vehicles)
- UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles)
- Drone Operators
- Object Detector
Prerequisites:
- Number of objects are known beforehand
- An estimate of the affected area is given beforehand
Challenges:
- Drifting objects due to wind and waves
- Resource allocation due to multiple teams competing or collaborating
- Object detection
- Collision avoidance
- Additional information (e.g. more debris, changes in priority, drone battery change e.t.c.)
Roles:
- Operator
Expansion 1
Collect the debris
Domain: Sea, air
Situation: The debris is potentially environmentally toxic and poses an obstacle to other boats in the fairway. It needs to be removed from the water and taken to a dock where it can be handled properly as soon as possible.
Area: An estimated area outside Gränsö (see image)
Mission: Collect the debris and bring it to the dock
Objectives: Use available resources collect and transport the debris
Measures/Scoring:
- Time to collect the debris
- Number of objects collected
- Traveled distance and energy
Resources:
- USV’s (unmanned surface vehicles)
- UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles)
- Drone Operators
- Object Detector
- Manned boat
Prerequisites:
- Number of objects are known beforehand
- An estimate of the affected area is given beforehand
Challenges:
- Drifting objects due to wind and waves
- Resource allocation due to multiple teams competing or collaborating
- Object detection
- Collision avoidance
- Additional information (e.g. more debris, changes in priority, drone battery change e.t.c.)
- Picking up moving objects
- Docking
Roles:
- Operator
- Human agents
Expansion 2
Debris has spread
Domain: Sea, air, land
Situation: The wind and waves has increased, and the debris have spread over a larger area. Some of it might have drifted ashore.
Area: Undefined
Mission: Locate the debris in an undefined area
Objectives: Use available resources to identify and locate the debris
Measures/Scoring:
- Time to find the debris
- Number of objects located
- Traveled distance and energy
Resources:
- USV’s (unmanned surface vehicles)
- UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles)
- Drone Operators
- Object Detector
- Manned boat
- Human agents
- UGV’s (unmanned ground vehicles)
Prerequisites:
- Number of objects missing are known beforehand
Challenges:
- Drifting objects due to wind and waves
- Resource allocation due to multiple teams competing or collaborating
- Object detection
- Collision avoidance
- Additional information (e.g. areas of interest, more debris, changes in priority, drone battery change e.t.c.)
Roles:
- Operator
- Human agents
Expansion 3
Sinking debris
Domain: Sea (sub-surface)
Situation: The debris is sinking and can not be located from the air or surface.
Area: An estimated area outside Gränsö (sub-surface)
Mission: Locate the debris sub-surface
Objectives: Use available resources to identify and locate the debris
Measures/Scoring:
- Time to find the debris
- Number of objects located
- Traveled distance and energy
Resources:
- Drone Operators
- Object Detector
- AUV’s (autonomous underwater vehicles)
Prerequisites:
- Number of objects are known beforehand
Challenges:
- Object detection
- Collision avoidance
Roles:
- Operator
