Can a ship be its own captain? Safe manning of autonomous and uncrewed vessels

Barbara Stepien

Summary: New maritime technologies, such as autonomous and uncrewed vessels, are set to revolutionize the shipping industry. However, the lack of regulation under current maritime laws raises concerns about safety and social impact. It is debated whether the international community can incorporate these technologies through policy decisions or if substantial amendments or new legal instruments are needed. It is concluded that adopting a specialized convention or code for autonomous and uncrewed vessels would be a faster and easier solution.

Determining the Proper Times and Sufficient Actions for the Collision Avoidance of Navigator-Centered Ships in the Open Sea Using Artificial Neural Networks

Jong-Kwan Kim et al.

Summary: Ship collisions can occur due to delaying actions or insufficient actions to avoid them. This study used Bayesian regularized artificial neural networks (BRANNs) to suggest appropriate timing and actions for collision avoidance. Data was prepared based on precedent research to train, validate, and assess the BRANNs, and an artificial neural network controller was proposed. Simulation was used to verify the controller. Further improvements can be made by examining overtaking distances and using the method presented in this study.

A two-stage dynamic collision avoidance algorithm for unmanned surface vehicles based on field theory and COLREGs

Nan Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic collision avoidance problem of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). A more accurate virtual spatial velocity field and a two-stage collision avoidance area are proposed to reflect the movement of the target ship (TS). The heading state of the USV is categorized into a safe state and an emergency state. A decision model of ship steering for collision avoidance is presented by analyzing the obligatory behavior specified in the COLREGs. Two algorithms using particle swarm optimization and artificial potential field method are developed for safe state and emergency state, respectively. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithms.

Summary: In this study, a COLREGs-based collision risk awareness model is proposed to quantify collision risk in real-time operating conditions. Ship actions are identified through AIS data, uncertainty is analyzed by treating target ships as velocity obstacles, and collision risk is assessed based on the uncertainty in the non-linear velocity obstacles algorithm. Case studies are carried out to validate the model, considering the dynamic and uncertainty features of ship action dynamics to reduce collision accidents and enhance intelligent collision avoidance decision-making technology.
