Trip Simulator

The Trip Simulator module provides comprehensive vessel journey visualization and playback functionality within the AOMP. This feature allows users to simulate and analyze vessel movements, track routes, and monitor operational events during specific time periods for training, analysis, and operational review purposes.

Overview​

Trip Simulator Dashboard

The Trip Simulator interface combines interactive mapping with timeline controls to provide a complete vessel journey replay experience. Users can visualize vessel movements, analyze speed and direction changes, and review operational events along the route.

Interface Components​

Query Settings Panel​

The Query Settings panel allows you to configure simulation parameters:

Trip Simulator Query Settings
  • Fleet Selector: Choose the fleet you want to monitor from the dropdown menu
  • Vessel Selector: Select a specific vessel from the filtered list, which updates based on the selected fleet
  • Date Range: Set start and end dates to define the simulation period
    • Start Date: Use the calendar picker to select the beginning of your simulation period
    • End Date: Use the calendar picker to select the end of your simulation period
  • Apply Filters: The system automatically loads trip data based on your selected criteria
