A Fuzzy Ship Domain-Based Method for Collision Avoidance at Sea

Abstract

The paper presents an asymmetrical polygonal fuzzy ship domain-based ship collision avoidance method considering COLREGs. The user interface is formed for practical collision avoidance decision support function via using form application developed with the C# programming language on the Microsoft Visual Studio software platform. Experimental study shows that the presented method can provide a reasonable solution. The system is expected to provide an effective assistance to system operators and to make a contribution to the ship automation and e-navigation strategy.
