Abstract
Navigation is the science of steering a ship's movements safely and effectively from one place to another place. Researchers have shown that around 80 to 85% of all recorded maritime accidents are directly due to human error or associated with human errors. The need for auto navigation is very essential to avoid obstacles and accidents especially prototype automatic navigation system which would guide ship in its path autonomously on water and avoid obstacles in its path with no intervention of a human. This project deals with development of an obstacle detection system using IR sensors and a microcontroller unit to guarantee collision avoidance, which is a key task of automatic navigation system. Electronic navigation with GPS is very common practice nowadays, so this projects also includes the use of GPS to find the accurate position of ship on inshore water because more obstacle such as islands and other ships.
