Collision prevention is critical for navigation safety at sea. At early ages, researchers aimed
at developing navigational assistance systems for enhancing situational awareness of …

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

This paper presents a real-time and deterministic path planning method for autonomous
ships or Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) in complex and dynamic navigation …

The challenge of solving the collision avoidance path planning problem lies in adaptively
selecting the optimal agent velocity in complex scenarios full of reciprocal obstacles. To …

This paper proposes a fuzzy logic based approach for ship-bridge collision alert by
considering ship particulars, bridge parameters and natural environment. It can be …

This paper studies the risk of ship collision off the coast of Portugal based on Automatic
Identification System (AIS) data, which is recorded and maintained by the Portuguese …

A multi-ship anti-collision decision support formulation is studied in a distributed and real
time way. Under the general requirements from COLREGs rules and regulations, the …

A great amount of effort has been devoted to the study on Unmanned Surface Vehicles
(USV) due to an increasing demand for their use in a variety of maritime applications. Real …

This article proposes a modified cognitive reliability and error analysis method (CREAM) for
estimating the human error probability in the maritime accident process on the basis of an …

In order to realize the autonomous collision avoidance of unmanned surface vehicles
(USVs), an intelligent hybrid collision avoidance algorithm based on deep reinforcement …
