A few notes from the presentation of Ernst Bolt in Madrid November 2013
Sea area area is divided into cells.
Vessel traffic is not based on AIS data, but information on number of trips in a given sea area and a route topology.
There is a 'trip database' which needs to be populated before SAMSON can be used.
SAMSON 'Casualty Rate' is the same as IWRAP Causation Factor
Number of Collision 'Encounter' is similar to IWRAP 'number of Geometrical Candidates'
SAMSON includes features for calculation exhaust emissions of vessels
Strong Points
Consequence part of SAMSON seems to be fairly developed.
Weak Points
User interface is not very developed.
