Objective 4: Establish a new DT Model Evaluation Methodology and Standards

(A tool for evaluating DT model performance that supports the DT standards development.)

Rationale: Creating a comprehensive evaluation methodology and standards for DT models is essential to ensure their effectiveness and reliability in maritime operations.

Expected Outcomes: Developing a detailed model evaluation methodology (MEM) with industry-standard criteria for assessing DT models' performance and accuracy, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiments and both internal & external model evaluations. This ensures DT models are consistently validated, refined, and practically applicable.
