A Marine Traffic Flow and Collision Avoidance Computer Simulation

Abstract

In a previous paper a model was outlined for an encounter between two vessels using the ‘range to domain over range rate’ (RDRR) criterion. This paper shows how the model has been developed to simulate traffic flow and collision avoidance through the main south-west bound lane of the Dover Strait traffic separation scheme. B. A. Colley and C. T. Stockel are at Plymouth Polytechnic, R. G. Curtis with the Department of Trade and Industry. The paper was presented at an ordinary meeting held in London on 16 November 1983.
