   Real-time pollution monitoring is critical for marine environmental management, where accurate tracking and reconstruction of pollutant dispersion are essential to mitigate ecological impacts. This paper introduces an adaptive informative path planning (IPP) framework designed to address the challenges of reconstructing spatio-temporally varying dynamic environments, focusing on pollutant dispersion in marine environments. The framework combines a Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-based pollutant dispersion model with a recursive Bayesian estimator to capture spatio-temporal dynamics in complex marine environments accurately. Two information-based utility functions are developed to quantify and reduce system state uncertainty, enabling more effective and targeted data collection by Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-based path planning strategies are employed in the proposed framework with thorough comparative studies against the myopic path planning methods. The proposed framework is rigorously evaluated across three scenarios, investigating its performance under different starting positions and pollutant source terms. The testing scenarios, which reflects real-world conditions such as oil spills and chemical leaks, help assess the robustness and adaptability of the framework. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to guide the fine tuning of the path planning strategy. Comparative studies highlight the superior performance of the proposed framework, with the combination of expected information gain (EIG)-based utility and MCTS consistently achieving the lowest reconstruction error and demonstrating enhanced robustness in dynamic and uncertain environments. These results establish the framework as a significant advancement in autonomous environmental monitoring, offering a new solution for dynamic pollution tracking and management.

   An intelligent energy management framework for hybrid-electric propulsion systems using deep reinforcement learning

   Abs Bib

   Hybrid-electric propulsion systems powered by renewable energy offer a promising solution for decarbonising transportation, but their performance relies on effective energy management systems. This study proposes an intelligent energy management framework using deep reinforcement learning to address the challenges of stochastic operating environments and concurrent control of multiple power sources. A Twin-Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) agent is trained on extensive historical load profiles to develop a generic strategy for continuous state and action spaces. Applied to a coastal ferry with fuel cell clusters and a battery, the framework achieves near-optimal cost performance in simulations of novel voyages, demonstrating its potential to enhance efficiency and sustainability in maritime transportation. Validation results demonstrate that the 4-cluster strategy achieves an average voyage cost which is only 2.7% higher than the TD3 uniform strategy, while emitting 1.8% fewer Global Warming Potential (GWP) emissions.
