Schema Reference
The following schemas and file formats are defined within maritime-schema. Each format plays a specific role in the simulator-based testing pipeline.
Traffic Situation
Stores the initial scenario. Includes a planned route for an own ship, and pre-defined paths for target ships.
Learn moreSituation Output
The solution to a traffic situation, an output produced by a collision avoidance system.
Learn moreSimulation Output
If ship motions are simulated, the resulting data can be stored using the Apache Arrow tables defined in this section.
Learn moreMarzip
A container file which stores the individual files together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone in the industry working on automated navigation, or collision and grounding avoidance. This could include system developers, test engineers, reaserchers, and regulators.
By adopting this schema, you can standardize scenario definitions and outputs, making it easy to test collision avoidance performance using our baseline cases.
The schema is open source, under the MIT license. No special permissions or fees are required to use it.
This schema is maintained by the digital ship systems section in DNV, the world's leading classification society.
DNV certifies autoremote systems. Autonomous navigation systems and collision avoidance systems are a core component of autonomous vessels. Having a standardized format for defining scenarios and outputs will enable more efficient testing and certification
