The University of Plymouth is part of a new initiative seeking to develop a digital twin of Britain's busiest port so it can ultimately continue operating during challenging ocean conditions.
The project, supported by a £333,585 grant from Innovate UK, will see academics from the University working with the Port of Dover and the University of Manchester to create and embed an AI-augmented digital twin of Dover harbour.
The funding underpins a three-year Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), that will harness the universities' world-leading expertise in hydrodynamic modelling and cutting-edge research in AI and machine learning.
The University has been successfully working with companies in the South West, and across the UK, on KTP programmes for more than 40 years.
This particular initiative will complement its expertise across various maritime sectors, which has in recent years resulted in the development of research facilities including its Maritime Simulation Laboratory and Cyber-SHIP Lab.
