Advanced Relative Trails

 

Advanced Relative Trails remove stationary trails during turns, displaying only moving targets for clearer navigation.

 

What is Advanced Relative Trails?

 

Furuno's Advanced Relative Trails technology eliminates trails when turning and displays only moving targets, leaving stationary ones unmarked.

Technology 2

Advanced Relative Trails is a sophisticated radar technology tailored to enhance maritime navigation by providing detailed visual trails of moving targets relative to the vessel's own movement.

 

Thanks to the advanced relative trail and the enhanced visibility it offers by eliminating unnecessary trails, it is feasible to prevent trail overlap and differentiate a stationary sea mark (which has no trail due to its fixed position) from a nearby moving ship (which leaves a trail).

Conventional relative trails & Recurrent Issues

 

The relative trail is a method that is especially beneficial for assessing collision risks by depicting the movement of other vessels in relation to the trajectory and speed of one's own ship.

Initially, the relative trail appeared even when the ship was turning or moving, affecting visibility until the trail was reset.

To address this, many manufacturers designed the relative trail feature to avoid displaying trails caused by the relative movement of other vessels during the ship's maneuvers.

Enhanced Visibility of Relative Trails in Coastal Areas

 

The Furuno Advanced Relative Trail technology removes trails during turns and displays only the trails of moving targets, leaving stationary objects unmarked (Land erase).

With the Advanced relative Trail's improved visibility by eliminating unnecessary trails, users can prevent trail overlap and easily differentiate between a stationary sea marker (no trail due to being stationary) and a nearby cruising ship (trail).

Products employing this radar technology

 

These radars were developed to guarantee situational awareness as they delete unnecessary trails thus enhancing the visualization of relative moving targets.

Line of sight of a Radar

 

Radar waves propagate along Earth's surface, but due to diffraction effect, these waves propagate in a slightly curved manner. The degree of diffraction is determined by many factors including atmosphere density. In general, the diffraction curve allows the wave to go beyond the line-of-sight by about 6%

D=2.2(√H1 + √H2)

D: Radar line-of-sight (NM)

H1: Altitude at which the Radar is installed (m)

H2:Altitude of the object reverberating the signal (m)
