Future system designs should assume traffic will be controlled, rather than advised. Risk analysis based upon port geometry, traffic levels and minimum turning radius can contribute to assessing deployment priorities. Vessel routing should be constrained to follow narrow tracks rather than broad lanes. A minimum configuration would be based upon a computerized Vessel Movement Reporting system. Data entry and retrieval terminals could be available within the maritime community. Information, including guidance, could be selectively distributed to active ships via a novel multiplexed television transmission. All radar configurations would include automatic detection and tracking equipment. Finally, area navigation systems could be integrated with VTS.
