Ship-to-Shore Interconnection for Yacht Passenger Safety

2026 · AHFE International · Vol 224 · 0 citations

Abstract

In this article, we present a ship-to-shore interconnection system aimed at supporting real-time monitoring of Yacht crew and passenger health. The system leverages broadband interconnection services provided by Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems and is composed of two software components. The first component is responsible for the acquisition of parameters describing both the health and safety conditions of passengers (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, movement, and disease-specific parameters for conditions such as diabetes) and the navigation conditions of the vessel (e.g., wind intensity, sea state, speed, response to wave motion, heel, and heading). The second component is a platform for tabular data synchronization. Rather than relying on a custom-designed software application, which would be inherently rigid or only limitedly configurable, the proposed solution exploits the ability of operators to develop application logic using spreadsheet-based tools. The synchronization platform ensures continuous consistency between onboard data and the spreadsheets used by the operators at the shore-based centers.
