Abstract

This article explores a comprehensive strategy to enhance safety measures for undersea tourism and exploration, particularly focusing on addressing submarine safety concerns in emergencies or malfunctions. The research aims to gain regulatory approval and trust by proposing strategies to ensure the safety of both tourists and submarine operators within various constraints. The study begins by predicting the submarine's position after power loss through an analysis of seawater density, ocean currents, and the creation of a digital elevation model of the Ionian Sea to pinpoint where the submarine could potentially strand on the seabed. Efforts are also dedicated to optimizing search and rescue equipment selection by synthesizing relevant parameters, developing utility formulas via the entropy weight method, and determining cost-effectiveness ratios to maximize utility within set budget limits. Moreover, a gridded probabilistic search model is introduced that leverages predictions of the submarine's potential stranding location in the ocean. This model assigns probabilities to possible submarine sightings within each grid, facilitating efficient search operations by continuously updating the search and rescue location with the highest cumulative probability. The approach extends its reach by adapting the model to different oceanic regions and incorporating multiple submarine interaction dynamics to significantly enhance search and rescue efforts.
