Abstract: The marine with its under water exploration plays a vital role in understanding environmental changes.The asymmetrical planning of catamarans are increasingly used in moderate to very high speed applications due to some tempting qualities such as less wetted surface and better seakepping behavior.Furthermore,catamarans has the ability of the employed numerical method in estimation of the sea convectional boundary limits in The peninsula island and the coastal countries. Today's existing systems are data buoy which provides interference mechanisms, much use of fossil fuel and survey ships which are highly cost inefficient huge and heavier.To overcome the existing system drawback and to provide multi-function we are proposing smart catamaran cruise which is a combination power by using diesel engine,lithium batteries and sail in investigated this is mainly focused on stability analysis ,safety measurements of fisherman and to maintain its function as a fishing vessels. In this paper we are developing a smart catamaran cruise which consumes less power, cost effective,feasible and has various applications in hydrological research.

  1. INTRODUCTION :

    Ocean observation,Marine research and navigational exploration have their advancement ,future vision in the technology for the upgraded computer vissionery techniques. The methods on unmanned sailing boat,which enables it to sail fully autonomously,navigate safely and perform long term mission.understanding key hydrological processes and properties is critical in sustaining ecological variations since then the need for smart catamaran emerged in one designed challenges faced by navel architects in accutrate predication,hydrodynamic charactricts of vessel ,propulsion and sea keeping even though a inconsiderable amount of research has been carried out in this area their remains a degree of uncertainty in the marine research. A well balanced design of a catamaran-type craft will therefore be concerned with an optimal compromise between the motion,power supply and structural weight consideration.this consideration would primarily depends on the principle design criteria such as cruise and top seeds,utility function required maneuver ability constraints,propulsive efficiency.

    Considering all the drawbacks of existing system we are proposing a Smart Catamaran cruise,which has the muti-functionalities such as detecting the boundary limits of the standard sea conventions where if it is crossed the fishermen life would be endangered,it would provide the fishermen with all necessary climatic and weather changes,helps them to navigate in the accurate direction,it is been provided with the hand shaking application where in if the fishermen encounters any kind of threat or danger he

    should shake his handset with certain baud rate then immediately the naval control room will receive the message,video capturing,voice announcement and location tracking with help of gsm and gps is also provided where exact location can be traced out with the help of latitude and longitude points received by naval control.the proposed model performs the complex tasks of sailing boat for fishing.this system offers major advantage compared to existing sailing boats.the proposed system will require minimal electric power to adjust all its control in future the solar panels can also be used instead of battery.

    The main prospective of this project is to design a smart catamaran for fishermen safety and gain stability over marine uncertainty.research which will provide complete video footage when fishermen is in threat,location tracking and manual control in case of emergency.

  1. Identifying boundaries:Home,Foreign and International boundary

    The Sea convection has certain boundary limits, each countries limitation will be divided into 12 nautical miles which is equal to 23.33kms this standard must be maintained by all the naval sea convection's. If the fisherman suppose crosses these boundary limits there ship would be seized and fisherman will be behind the bars.Therefore proposed system is useful in identifying and informing the fisherman about the boundary limits.

  2. Smart environment: climatic and weather forecasting

    The smart embedded sensor technology can be used in order to monitor and transmit critical parameters of the environment. In any work environment an enterprise based application can be the fact that it is commonly called smart environment. Common attributes of environment are humidity,temperature,pressure etc. If there is a sudden

    V.WORKING:

    We mainly deal with RF modules for the wireless communication, Zig bee for short distance communication, floating sensor( in real time), indication unit and display unit, Micro controller 8051, decoder and encoder device and power supply.

    The controller unit will be kept in the boat section, has the boat travels in the sea and reaches the boundary limits the sensors placed on the water will send the message to the naval control room and to the fishermen . This message would be displayed on the indication unit and

    change in the climate the fishermen who has reached the brim of the sea can be informed. The smart technology can also be useful in water conservation,where droughts are very frequent.

  3. Smart Unit : IOT, Hand shaking application for android cell.

    This model can be extended over a city for better load balancing,integrate large computation with small embedded device. Smart grid and smart metering technology can also be implemented. An Hand shaking IOT application is installed on android phone, set certain baud rate example

    4000 bd. Once the mobile is shaked with the given baud rate emergency message will be passed to the guardian and naval control room through the application of IOT.

  4. Sensing : Health Monitoring

There can be various types of sensors based devices which can be used for monitoring ,tracking,Sensing etc. The tracked object can be globally or locally placed anywhere on the networks. The RF id chips enabled to track the vital health parameters. If there are any unusual activity the alarm or alert will be sent to the near by local assistant home.

In case of higher abnormalities near by efficient hospitals can be alerted. Thus, Hospitalization cost,time can be effectively reduced. This is also an advantage which comes under Smart health monitoring with the IOT. locally, globally and in any place, any time and over any network.

IX.CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE:

Hence the proposed project provides all necessary safety measurements to the fishermen, update them with climatic changes also prevents them by crossing the foreign boundaries and also it is very feasible.

In this paper we introduce a successful working prototype module of an catamaran designed for ocean geographic research and safety of fishermen. It tracks the movement with the help of wireless module attached through the RF pro wireless sensor network.

Future development is required to demonstrate the feasiblity of this smart catamaran in open sea and helpful for oceanographers and scientist along with common man(fishermen), also countries financial growth would not be affected. Better camera can be used with high resolution and pixels. The long lasting batteries can be used instead of using power supplies.
