| Abstract | The processor program is designed to move 18,000 merchant vessels along standard routes to their destination and keep statistical records of the ports visited, the five degree squares passed through and the occurrence of casualties. This document presents detail information on the design of the Maritime Dynamic Traffic Generator, the subroutines, the reasoning behind each routine; and how they are related. In addition, there are descriptions of the data preparations and editing the input data used in the generation. |
