Advancements in connected and maritime vehicles are severely constrained by the limitations of existing\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">communication methodologies and data exchange information. Due to the insecure nature of the current\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">information sharing platform (like AIS) between vessels, information sharing is vulnerable to spoofing. Also the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">data content of AIS, today, Is estimated to be 100% correct in only 30% of the cases. AIS update rates are\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">too low to be valuable in autonomous systems and further decrease when many assets are active\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">simultaneously within one zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">The goal is to improve data quality, interconnectivity and interoperability\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">between assets in the maritime and inland waterway environment. This will be achieved by allowing secure\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">and verified direct and indirect communication between assets. The exchanged data information will be\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">extended with additional sensor information to efficiently represent and communicate shared situational\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">awareness. This sensor data extension, representation and communication is a crucial step towards\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">efficient and flexible interoperability.<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-356241 kc_col-sm-3 kc_column kc_col-sm-3\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-537684 kc-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t<i class=\"fa-euro-sign\"><\/i>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-673001 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vlaio.be\/\">VLAIO<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blauwecluster.be\/\">De Blauwe Cluster<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">2019 &#8211; 2021<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2.8 M\u20ac<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-238883 kc_shortcode kc_single_image\">\n\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mecatron.rma.ac.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/de-blauwe-cluster-1.png\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-215838\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-10927 kc-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t<i class=\"ion-android-people\"><\/i>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-945395 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mecatron.rma.ac.be\/index.php\/people\/rihab-lahouli\/\">Rihab Lahouli<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mecatron.rma.ac.be\/index.php\/people\/geert-de-cubber\/\">Geert De Cubber<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Rob Haelterman<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-24684\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-277205 kc-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t<i class=\"ion-ios-world-outline\"><\/i>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-385394 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blauwecluster.be\/project\/ssave-shared-situational-awareness-vessels\">SSAVE Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-438071 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-661233 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-164099\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-386338 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-622830 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-548819 kc-title-wrap \">\n\n\t<h4 class=\"kc_title\">Project Publications<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-787911 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"papercite\">2022<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"papercite_bibliography\">\n<li>    R.
