The "Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology Exchange Support Project to Promote International Joint Research" aims to increase the number of external funds obtained for exchange projects that will lead to the promotion of international joint research, with the aim of internationalizing the university and advancing research. , supports part of the expenses required for international exchange by researchers at our university.This project was carried out under this project.

[Research topic title]
　Shallow water measurement platform

【the purpose】
　Development of measurement platform for small vessels such as fishing boats and sightseeing boats　

[Summary/Results]

　In September, Momchil Terziev, a researcher at the University of Strathclyde in the UK, visited the Etchujima campus. Researcher Momchil is conducting research on the theme of "Improving the efficiency and safety of offshore structures through hydrodynamics."Additionally, he and Associate Professor Toshimasa Aso of the Distribution Information Engineering Department are currently conducting joint research on the development of a measurement platform.The purpose of this visit to Japan was to tour the university's advanced equipment and discuss how to use it.

　On September 9th, we toured the ship navigation performance test tank.After the tour, Professor Kiyokazu Minami of the Maritime Systems Engineering Department and Associate Professor Mitsuhiro Masuda of the same department held a meeting regarding the use of this facility and exchanged opinions regarding this research. On September 12th, the students took a test drive on the university's battery-propelled vessel (Raichou I), and then exchanged opinions regarding this research with Professor Etsuro Shimizu of the Department of Marine Electronics and Mechanical Engineering.

【Expected effect】
　By visualizing infrastructure conditions, work conditions, and the risk of motion sickness, we support sustainable infrastructure maintenance and management and the sustainable development of many industries such as tourism and fishing.
