Fuzzy collision avoidance system for ships

详细

The paper discusses the problem of maritime traffic control. A model of the relative motion of two vessels is considered. An algorithm for the generation of alarms of various types in accordance with the verbal ship–ship danger level is considered. Navigation situations are separated into levels based on the ship’s maneuvering intensity and time to collision. A fuzzy decision-making system about the motion’s danger level that combines Mamdani and Sugeno fuzzy inference systems is proposed. The results of the numerical experiment that demonstrates the system’s operation under standard conditions and the results of the system’s field tests based on real ship traffic data in the waters adjacent to the port of Vladivostok are given.
