Abstract
To ensure navigation safety, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) need to have autonomous collision avoidance capability. A large number of studies on ship collision avoidance are available, and most of these papers assume that the target ships keep straight or follows the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). However, in the actual navigation process, the target ship may temporarily turn. Based on the above reasons, this paper proposes a multi-ship collision avoidance decision method for USVs based on the improved velocity obstacle algorithm. In the basic dynamic ship domain model, a collision risk model is constructed to improve the accuracy of the risk assessment between the USV and target ships. The velocity obstacle algorithm is combined with the dynamic ship domain, and the collision avoidance timing and method are judged according to the collision risk. The simulation results show that the decision method can handle the situation that the target ship temporarily turns and has an emergency collision avoidance capability. Compared with the traditional VO algorithm, the collision avoidance time of the method is shorter, and the number of course changes is less.
