Simulation on Vessel Intelligent Collision Avoidance Based on Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm

Abstract

TAs the rapid development of the ship equipments and navigation technology, vessel intelligent collision avoidance theory was researched world widely. Meantime, more and more ship intelligent collision avoidance products are put into use. It not only makes the ship much safer, but also lighten the officers work intensity and improve the ship’s economy. The paper based on the International Regulation for Preventing Collision at sea and ship domain theories, with the ship proceeding distance when collision avoidance as the objective function, through the artificial fish swarm algorithm to optimize the collision avoidance path, and finally simulates overtaking situation, crossing situation and head-on situation three classic meeting situation of ships on the sea by VC++ computer language. Calculation and simulation results are basically consistent with the actual situation which certifies that its validity.
