А new approach to the vessel’s motion defi ning in narrows and port waters based on a separate presentation of the vessel’s motion vector components (cinematic parameters) with each component approximated by sigma functions while proceeding on track is considered. The suggested model can be integrated into modern
navigation and artifi cial intelligence systems, pilot’s plotters, training simulation centers as well as be used while designing a new maneuvering scheme in congested waters.
