Output files

The Ship Traffic Generator creates output files according to the open-source maritime schema Traffic Situation format.

Below is one example of an output file created by the Ship Traffic Generator. This describes the starting position of the ownship (ship under test) and one target ship, and their planned goal positions, for a head-on (HO) encounter. Note that the first waypoint is typically set to the initial waypoint. The targetShips field can contain multiple target ships, at different COLREG encounter courses.

Example 1: Output file generated by the Ship Traffic Generator:
