Research insight ยท Intelligent simulation
Connected simulation platforms can help maritime institutions extend training beyond a single physical lab while preserving instructor control, scenario consistency and meaningful assessment.
Traditional full-mission simulators remain essential for immersive team training. Cloud and networked simulation add a different capability: they can make selected exercises available across classrooms, campuses and distributed teams. This supports preparation before full-mission sessions, repeated individual practice and broader access to specialist scenarios.
Research associated with Wuhan University of Technology includes a patented cloud-platform maritime simulator system and work on intelligent target ships based on real traffic flow. These directions align with ERUN's goal of developing scalable simulation environments that connect realistic operational modelling with practical maritime education.
