- Marine pollution incidents can have a huge impact on different ecosystems, with unpredictable short- and long-term consequences. Once the pollutant is detected, it is critical to quickly understand its characteristics so that authorities can lay out an adequate response. In parallel to the time- and cost-constrained traditional operational means, this paper suggests the use of AUVs for the sampling procedures of marine pollution incidents, to increase the speed and efficiency of operations. A new software architecture is developed, integrating trajectory optimization for AUVs into a software toolchain that allows human operators to plan, simulate, and control multiple vehicles deployments. A method to optimize AUVs deployment position and time is also presented. The overall architecture is simulated using high-resolution hydrodynamic data from the Ria de Aveiro lagoon and the adjacent coastal area, in Aveiro, Portugal.
