  1. Methods for Testing COLREGS Compliance in AutonomousSurface Vehicles

    Molina, Mikala N.Massachusetts Institute of Technology2024

    … Collision at Sea, or "Collision Regulations" (COLREGS) compliance of autonomous marine vehicles. To address the critical need for COLREGS compliance verification in Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV), this thesis introduces test cases. These test cases are designed to assess the ability of …

  2. COLREGS-compliant autonomous collision avoidance using multi-objective optimization with interval programming

    Woerner, KyleMassachusetts Institute of Technology2014

    … Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) to a fleet of AMVs operating in the same geographic area, the fleet achieves nearly identical efficiency concurrent with significant reductions in the collisions observed. A basic collision avoidance protocol was analyzed against a …

  3. Intent-aware collision avoidance for autonomous marine vehicles

    Leavitt, Joseph WilliamMassachusetts Institute of Technology2017

    … Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). Strict application of this protocol can lead to a highly constrained motion planning problem, in which it is difficult for a vehicle to identify a safe and efficient motion plan. This thesis proposes a multi-objective optimization-based …

  5. Multi-contact protocol-constrained collision avoidance for autonomous marine vehicles

    Woerner, KyleMassachusetts Institute of Technology2016

    … under conflicting protocol requirements of COLREGS while interacting with human-driven vessels. An autonomous collision avoidance "road test" framework is proposed to incorporate testing of arbitrary collision avoidance algorithms both in the field and in simulation.

  6. Vessels today are more sophisticated than ever, and the international conventions apparently provide an appropriate standard of safety: however, with bigger, faster and more technical ships are the IMO looking at the future of shipping and are we in need of amendments to Colregs/SOLAS to combat the impacts?

    DiArchangel, KorbenUniversity of Nevada, Reno2024

    … path. We then develop the Velocity Obstacle COLREGs Colision Avoidance Algorithm (VOCCAA) to handle scenarios with multiple entities. This algorithm uses velocity obstacles to determine whether or not two ships will collide with each other, as well as to provide trajectories that do not lead …

  8. A planned approach to high collision risk area

    Li, John ZhangMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2020

    This thesis examines the transition of a vessel from the open ocean, where collisions are rare, to a high risk and heavy traffic area such as a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS). Previous autonomy approaches generally view path planning and collision avoidance as two separate functions, i.e. a vessel …
