The automatic identification system (AIS) tracks vessel movement by means of electronic
exchange of navigation data between vessels, with onboard transceiver, terrestrial, and/or …

Maritime transport faces new safety-related challenges resulting from constantly increasing
traffic density, along with increasing dimensions of ships. Consequently, the number of new …

Collisions at sea are frequently caused by human-related factors, such as; manoeuvre
timing mistakes, risk assessment failures and deficiencies in strategies for collision …

Collison between ships is one of the major contributors to maritime accidents. To reduce
ship collision accidents, the research on collision avoidance decision-making has been …

The ship handling decision-making process constitutes the most critical step in intelligent
ship collision avoidance. This study utilized the ship encounter azimuth map to extract the …

In the process of ship collision avoidance decision making, steering collision avoidance is
the most frequently adopted collision avoidance method. In order to obtain an effective and …

This paper presents a Swarm Intelligence (SI) application using Ant Colony Optimization
(ACO) techniques in a navigational Decision Support System (DSS). The problem-solving …

This paper presents an application of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique in a safe
ship control system. The method developed solves the problem of path planning and …

This paper suggests a framework about how log data are used to develop a classifier to
recognise the sailing status of a commuter ferry, which, in turn, serves as a tool of safety …

The development of soft computing techniques in recent years has encouraged researchers
to study on the path planning problem in ship collision avoidance. These techniques have …
