Abstract
The paper deals with the problem of control of maneuvers in the divergence of vessels. In a situation of dangerous convergence of vessels, one of them must take a maneuver for safe divergence in accordance with the COLREGS (International Rules of Preventing Collision at Sea). In this case, the vessel, which is given way, must maintain its course and speed. However, it must also monitor compliance with the divergence obligations by the oncoming vessel. The problems arising in the case when the vessel, which is given way, is an unmanned vessel controlled by an automatic agent. The reasons are given for the fact that the behavior of the oncoming vessel may differ from what is expected from the agent managing the vessel to which they must give way. For these cases, the criteria are provided by which the agent operating the unmanned vessel can detect the situation of non-compliance by another vessel with its divergence obligations, in order to take timely action to avoid a collision by maneuvering agent’s vessel in accordance with the COLREGS.
Highlights
A lot of attention has recently been paid to the creation of unmanned vessels
It consists in the fact that the agent who manages the unmanned vessel A is not sure that the decision on the divergence received by agent will be implemented by the oncoming vessel B
As mentioned in the previous section, when vessels diverge, there is uncertainty in the behavior of the oncoming vessel. It increases if it is not possible to organize an effective exchange of information between the agents operating the vessels, as a result of which they could agree on the implementation of a coordinated maneuver for a safe divergence
Summary
To implement the project of an unmanned vessel, it is necessary to solve a whole range of problems. The problem of automatic divergence from other vessels. A number of works are devoted to solving the main problems of automatic divergence, namely, the problem of assessing the situation and developing a solution for safe divergence [1,2,3,4]. Active research is being conducted in the field of developing systems for safe divergence of unmanned vessels. The work [5] provides an overview of current research in this area. The work [6] discusses the use of neural networks in algorithms for safe divergence, the works [7, 8] discusses the use of the VO (Velocity obstacle) algorithm, and in the work [9] - the OZT method
