Water vessel - Digital Raft

Abstract: Bangladesh is a riverine country. About 800 rivers including tributaries flow through the
country constituting a waterway of total length around 24,140 km of rivers, streams and canals that together cover
about 7% of the country's surface. Most part of the country is linked by a complex network of waterways which reaches
its extensive size in the monsoon period. Out of 24,140 km. of rivers, streams and canals only about 5,968 km. is
navigable by mechanized vessels during monsoon period which shrinks to about 3,865km.During dry period. The IWT
sector carries over 50% of all arterial freight traffic and one quarter of all passenger traffic. Most of the country's land
is formed through silt brought by the rivers.

Existing System:
Ferries and launches are a major form of transportation in river side of Bangladesh. These vessels are notoriously
dangerous. They are often overloaded, and they continue to operate during rough weather. Many people die each
year in IWT accidents. Many different types of boats are also used for transportation. Most of them are still operating
their way of moving in river using old strategy like observing stars, in Moonlit night but they are totally blind in deep
fog. After visiting Mv Bengali, which has modern technology, we have found some problems.
The equipments MV Bengali (Water vessel):
1.

Radar

2.

GPS

3.

Echo Sounder

4.

Doppler

5.

Magnetic Compass

6.

Jairo Compass

7.

Barometer

8.

Anemometer (Wind Speed).

9.

S.S.B (Radio Communication)

10.

V.H.F

All these equipments are setup separately, thats why master cant observe everything by standing in one
place.
Having all these equipment MV Bengali has occurred accident, once when this modern technical launch trying to take
U Turn then its back side smashed with a platform. That caused a huge demerge.

The main problem is

The Radar Cant measure the distance of an obstacle from launch

Radar cant give shape of an obstacle

Echo sounder can measure only depth downwards.

No such instrument which can find obstacle towards left, right, forward and backward.

Cant give exact route

Speed in an specific position

Our Plan & Solutions:

After considering all these problems, if its possible to bring the equipments output in one display, it must be easier to operate these
vessels.

Wind Speed

4. Fathometer: will give depth(Auto Control)

5.

Beagle Bone Black / Raspberry Pi: Here this engine has several functionalitya.

It will get the GPS info. From internet via Google API and show current position in Latitude and Longitude.

b.

From this Latitude and longitude in will calculate the speed (Using an Algorithm) and show in a display by a Google
Map.

c.

All the informations of a specific Ship will be stored in its Local Db.

d.

The local system can communicate with Main Controller/ Headquarter

e.

By this One Master can ask request to nearest Ship or Helpline (Coast Guard).

f.

Beagle Bone Black will read and operate all other equipments data.

g.

Communication with headquarter.

h.

Getting weather forecast.

i.

Showing objects nearby and their distance (including their shape)

j.

Sending alarm of hijacking to the headquarter.

6. Master Controller: This is a central IV Tier Data Stores Server system

a.
b.

This is a master data center which can store specific water vessel specific datas (GPS, speed, times, etc.)
This can provide necessary informations to the requested by user.

Future Work:
1.

Neat detection
Fish Finder
Person count

Here Radar cost might be minimized if we can manufacture radar by our self. Otherwise, it will be customized
for our desire information. RFTR is also customized one.

The total cost (approximate) will be according vessel size, route and water depth.
1. Package 1 (Small Vessel) -----------------------------(30000 - 40000) /=
2. Package 2 (Medium Vessel) --------------------------(120000 150000) /=
3. Package 3 (Big Vessel) ---------------------------------(250000 - 277645) /=

Conclusion: So lets consider what we have done

Authority can see the exact route of an specific vessel

Positive influence on economical resource
Using database, vessels can reduce its fuel cost taking shortest way
Positive influence on economical resource
Reduce Unwanted accident
If accident does occur, authority can know immediately the reason behind it.
