Together with colleagues of the TESSA and IONIO projects, he designed and implemented VISIR, a ship routing model for safer and more efficient navigation, and presently leads its scientific and operational development. As a model, VISIR\u2019s source code is made publicly available following the guidelines of the Free and Open Source Software. As an operational system, VISIR already has an operational implementation in the Mediterranean Sea.\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract VISIR (discoVerIng Safe and effIcient Routes) is a fully open ship routing model.
