Factors in the prevention of collisions at sea
In recent years, the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea have been the subject of lengthy and sometimes heated public discussion. Many suggestions, at various levels of practicality, have been made for amending the regulations both by individuals and by committees. Two …

Methods for Testing COLREGS Compliance in AutonomousSurface Vehicles
… of uncrewed and autonomous surface vessels operating at sea. Preventing collisions at sea is of paramount importance to safeguard lives, protect the marine environment, and maintain smooth maritime operations. Effectively preventing collisions at sea between manned and uncrewed vessels requires …

A probabilistic evaluation of tank ship damage in grounding events
Recent international and domestic regulatory actions have resulted in significant changes to oil tanker designs and intensified attention on predicting tanker environmental performance following groundings or collisions. The current analytical method defined by the International Maritime …

Probabilistic evaluation of tankship damage in collision events
… for precidicting the extent of damage in ship collisions is developed. The method calculates both the longitudinal and transverse extents of damage for the struck ship as a function of collision scenario parameters, such as ship speeds, relative courses, and collision impact point, as well as …

COLREGS-compliant autonomous collision avoidance using multi-objective optimization with interval programming
… in autonomous marine vehicle (AMV) operations. Safely managing these environments and their mission greatly taxes platforms. AMV collisions will likely increase as contact density increases. In situations where AMVs are not performing a collaborative mission but are using shared physical …

An investigation into the use of multi-agent systems in marine simulator instructor stations
This thesis documents an investigation into the automatic provision of reasonably realistic motion for the computer generated target ships in a marine simulator. The thesis explores: automatic collision avoidance between the target ships; automatic track keeping for the target ships; the use of sea …

The international collision regulations in the context of international law and the municipal law of the United Kingdom and of South Africa: a critical analysis
… of this paper is to examine one aspect of safety at sea, namely, the prevention of collisions, and to consider in this regard the role of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. our concern is primarily with the regulatory and preventative aspects of the law (in both the, …
