提出统一方法实现船舶自主航行的避碰、合规与防搁浅,支持实时决策。

COLREGs Compliant Collision Avoidance and Grounding Prevention for Autonomous Marine Navigation

  • 基于凸优化融合避碰、规则和浅水约束,生成安全速度
  • 在多船会遇仿真中实现合规避碰,计算高效满足实时性
  • 适用于复杂航道的自主航行系统,尤其适合近海场景

自主水面船(MASS)被视为缓解船员短缺、提升航行安全与运营效率的重要解决方案。然而,在拥挤水域中可靠部署仍面临挑战,而多数海事事故集中于此。因此,亟需具备动态适应能力且符合国际海上避碰规则(COLREGs)的安全运动规划策略。本文提出一种统一的运动规划方法,实现实时避碰、遵循COLREGs及防搁浅。该方法采用凸优化框架,集成基于速度障碍(VO)的避碰约束、基于COLREGs的方向约束以及基于海图数据的浅水区域约束。为增强鲁棒性,扩展经典VO以处理目标船位置与速度估计的不确定性。通过整数线性规划(ILP)将固有非凸的不可航行浅水区近似为凸几何体,使防搁浅约束可嵌入优化过程。最终生成满足避碰、合规、动力学限制与防搁浅要求的最优且动态可行的速度输入。多船会遇仿真结果表明,所提方法能生成安全、合规的机动动作,验证了其在实时自主航海中的适用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are increasingly regarded as a promising solution to address crew shortages, improve navigational safety, and improve operational efficiency in the maritime industry. Nevertheless, the reliable deployment of MASS in real-world environments remains a significant challenge, particularly in congested waters where the majority of maritime accidents occur. This emphasizes the need for safe and regulation-aware motion planning strategies for MASS that are capable of operating under dynamic maritime conditions. This paper presents a unified motion planning method for MASS that achieves real time collision avoidance, compliance with International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), and grounding prevention. The proposed work introduces a convex optimization method that integrates velocity obstacle-based (VO) collision constraints, COLREGs-based directional constraints, and bathymetry-based grounding constraints to generate computationally efficient, rule-compliant optimal velocity selection. To enhance robustness, the classical VO method is extended to consider uncertainty in the position and velocity estimates of the target vessel. Unnavigable shallow water regions obtained from bathymetric data, which are inherently nonconvex, are approximated via convex geometries using a integer linear programming (ILP), allowing grounding constraints to be incorporated into the motion planning. The resulting optimization generates optimal and dynamically feasible input velocities that meet collision avoidance, regulatory compliance, kinodynamic limits, and grounding prevention requirements. Simulation results involving multi-vessel encounters demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in producing safe and regulation-compliant maneuvers, highlighting the suitability of the proposed approach for real time autonomous maritime navigation.
