Analysis of radar integration possibilities in inland mobile navigation

Radar image displayed over chart information can be invaluable in inland areas where spatial information is outdated, incomplete or often alternating. Not only it may show any navigational obstacles, but also detects shoreline. Existing non-professional inland mobile navigation systems provide weak capabilities for using sensors data other than for positioning purposes. In the paper, we present a few possibilities to integrate radar and other sensors into mobile navigation system to enhance its users navigation experience on inland water. In order to achieve this feature, we propose a model of radar integration into mobile navigational system for leisure craft users of inland waters. Additionally, technical and navigational aspects of radar integration was examined and suitable techniques were proposed.
