An Optimized Method to Trace the Oil Spill Based on a Multi-Buoys System

Abstract:

After years of research and experiments, the Japanese scholars have improved the automatic buoy system. The tracing accuracy has been greatly improved because the tracing error of the automatic buoy can be automatically corrected. But it is difficult for the automatic buoy to become a standard configuration for the offshore structures of oil storage and transportation because of complex technology and high price. In this paper, a multi-buoys system is founded to trace the oil spill. The system reliability of oil spill tracing is greatly improved.
