Review of Ship Collision Avoidance Guidance Algorithms Using Remote Sensing and Game Control

Abstract

This work provides a mathematical description of a process game for the safe driving of a ship that encounters other ships. State and control constraint variables, as well as a set of acceptable ship tactics, are taken into consideration. Multi-criteria optimization operations are developed as positional and matrix games, based on cooperative, non-cooperative, and classical (non-game) optimal steering control. Adequate algorithms for ship collision avoidance, relating to the above operations, are developed and verified through digital simulation of a real navigational situation using MATLAB/Simulink.
