CERNOS VTCS
Vessel Traffic Categorisation System
Understand vessel activity across your port
Knowing which vessels are using an area - and how they behave - can support better asset planning, environmental assessment, operational decision-making and risk management.
CERNOS VTCS autonomously monitors, identifies and categorises vessel activity by combining vessel track data with machine vision applied to high-resolution imagery. This creates a detailed, evidence-based picture of traffic patterns and vessel behaviour within a defined monitoring area.

How CERNOS VTCS works
CERNOS VTCS collects and processes vessel movement and imagery data at the edge. Smart logic is then used to identify vessel types, analyse behaviour and convert raw data into meaningful traffic intelligence.
The system can be configured around the site, monitoring objectives and reporting requirements of each port.
With remote telemetry and off-grid power options, CERNOS VTCS can operate in locations where permanent power and communications infrastructure may be limited.
