This layer is originated by our dynamic model SEL.
Not applicable
The core shipping simulation is generic (meaning it doesn't depend on a specific region) and was developed by Breda University of Applied Sciences' Phil de Groot, based on collaboration with several colleagues (notably Carlos Santos and Wilco Boode). As a separate application, it takes input data from the MSP Challenge server on the different shipping routes and port within each edition to calculate the (future) impact of MSP decisions on shipping routes. This is dynamically shown in key performance indicators (e.g. route efficiencies) and visualised in heat maps of ship traffic.
