FIT - Fishboat Inclinometer Testing (Commercial Fishing Vessel Behaviour: Predicted vs. Actual)
This project was designed to inform safe operation stability for commercial fishing vessels. The researchers set out to design, build, integrate, and install a unique assemblage of high-tech devices, including but not limited to solid state inclinometers and accelerometers aboard a commercial fishing vessel
Analysis included vessel behaviour while at sea, compared to predictive analysis for that vessel
The intent was to inform best practices and to tailor minimum stability standards in the regulated environment for commercial fishing vessels under 24 meters in length
