Accelerated adoption of maritime autonomous vessels by simulating the interplay of stakeholder decisions and learning

Despite worldwide efforts to develop technologies for autonomous vessels, large-scale implementation has yet to be achieved. This lack of achievement is not only due to technical and economic constraints but also to decision-making of individual stakeholders who may explore decisions narrowly, for example solely on the maximization of short-term profits. Therefore, it is desirable to consider other combinations of decision-making by stakeholders to break out of this situation. However, it is challenging to grasp how individual decisions affect the entire maritime industry given market, technology, and competition complexity.
