On the possibility of COLREGS/STM integration
Maritime Transport Conference, 2022 In the shipping industry, Sea Traffic Management (STM) system aims to represent a new paradigm in maritime safety. The idea of the STM implementation is to share information between all stakeholders, making shipping more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly. With the growing market and related increase in marine transport and traffic, the risk

COLREGs-Informed RRT* for Collision Avoidance of Marine Crafts [PDF]
2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2021 The paper proposes novel sampling strategies to compute the optimal path alteration of a surface vessel sailing in close quarters. Such strategy directly encodes the rules for safe navigation at sea, by exploiting the concept of minimal ship domain to determine the compliant region where the path deviation is to be generated.

Quantifying protocol evaluation for autonomous collision avoidance [PDF]
, 2018 Collision avoidance protocols such as COLREGS are written primarily for human operators resulting in a rule set that is open to some interpretation, difficult to quantify, and challenging to evaluate.

VORRT-COLREGs: A Hybrid Velocity Obstacles and RRT Based COLREGs-Compliant Path Planner for Autonomous Surface Vessels [PDF]
OCEANS 2021: San Diego – Porto, 2021 This paper presents VORRT-COLREGs, a hybrid technique that combines velocity obstacles (VO) and rapidly-exploring random trees (RRT) to generate safe trajectories for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) while following nautical rules of the road. RRT generates a set of way points and the velocity obstacles method ensures safe travel between way points ...

RORSIM: a warship collision avoidance 3D simulation designed to complement existing Junior Warfare Officer training [PDF]
, 2013 Royal Navy Junior Warfare Officers (JWO) undergo a comprehensive training package in order to prepare them to be officers of the watch. One aspect of this training relates to their knowledge of the ‘Rules of the Road’ or ‘COLREGS’; the rules for the ...

Verifying collision avoidance behaviours for unmanned surface vehicles using probabilistic model checking [PDF]
, 2016 Collision avoidance is an essential safety requirement for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Normally, its practical verification is non-trivial, due to the stochastic behaviours of both the USVs and the intruders.
