Collisions and groundings account for a great deal of fiscal losses and human risks in the
statistics of marine accidents related to ocean going vessels. With highly automated vessels …

This paper presents a rule-compliant trajectory optimization method for the guidance and
control of Autonomous Surface Vessels. The method builds on Model Predictive Contouring …

Autonomous surface vessels comprise complex automated systems with advanced onboard
sensors. These help establish situation awareness and perform many of the complex tasks …

Highly reliable situation awareness is a main driver to enhance safety via autonomous
technology in the marine industry. Groundings, ship collisions and collisions with bridges …

The introduction of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASSs) has prompted a significant
shift in the role of navigators from traditional navigation to supervising artificial intelligence …

Fully or partial autonomous marine vessels are actively being developed by many industry
actors. In many cases, the autonomous vessels will be operating close to shore, and within …

This paper provides a collision avoidance perspective to maritime autonomy, in the shift
towards Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). In particular, the paper presents the …

The purpose of this study is to show how coloured Petri nets can be used to select the
crossing rules guaranteeing that two ships avoid collisions at sea in accordance with the …

The encounter situation between marine vessels determines how they should navigate to
obey COLREGs, but time-varying and stochastic uncertainty in estimation of angles of …

GreenHopper is the first Danish zero-emission ferry developed as a test platform for
autonomous waterborne navigation technologies. The paper presents technology …
