Popis: Navigation and trajectorial estimation of maritime vessels are contingent upon the context of positional accuracy. Even the smallest deviations in the estimation of a given vessel may result in detrimental consequences in terms of economic and ecologic quotients. To ensure an agile and precise environment for maritime vessel positional estimation, preexisting marine radar technologies can be utilized in a way that ensures a higher level of precision compared to GNSS-based identification and positioning. In this paper, we present a positional optimization for radarbased vessel navigation systems that utilize the installment of vessel detection sensors. The main objective of this research is to employ as fewer sensors as possible while preserving the attainable error threshold for positioning that is defined by International Maritime Organization (IMO). Our approach leads most of the time to a positioning error of up to 5 m along shorelines and rivers and up to 50 m along open coastal regions.
