Abstract

Accurate modeling the movement and behaviors of missing persons and vessels is critical in their finding and rescuing in maritime environments. Current methods focus on using particle techniques that model several factors including leeway and drift but lack the ability to model human factors and behaviors. This research explores the idea of using an agent-based approach to model missing objects with the goal of developing a methodology that accounts for missing person behavior in a maritime domain. This new approach leads to a more accurate missing persons movement trajectories and results in finding better search plans. The results show that an agent-based model can consider environmental elements, behavioral factors, and hazards when modeling target movement in a maritime domain which is critical in missing object modeling. The developed approach also shows how an agent-based model can help find optimal search plans.
