Magnetic Sensor Feasibility Test for Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Services.

Abstract

The Coast Guard Office of R & D has an on-going project to test the feasibility of using various sensors in the monitoring of vessel traffic in existing Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) operating areas. This report describes the effort involved in testing magnetic sensors. The report contains a description of both the sensor system configuration and the results of feasibility tests that were performed in Houston, Texas and Sault Ste Marie, MI. (Author)
