Ship steering collision avoidance decision based on MOEA/D algorithm

Abstract

In order to improve the effectiveness of intelligent collision avoidance decision of ships, a collision avoidance decision model is established with the objective of guaranteeing the safety of ship navigation and reducing the loss of voyage, taking real-time data as the input quantity and the requirements of international maritime collision avoidance rules and the common practice of seafarers as the constraints, and MOEA/D (Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm Based on Decomposition) algorithm is used to optimize the objective function and calculate the optimal steering angle and steering timing. The simulation results show that the decision can meet the safety and economic requirements of ship collision avoidance under different encounter situations and can provide some reference for ship collision avoidance decision.
