The studies on automatic ship collision avoidance system, which have been carried out in the last 10 years, are facing on new situation due to newly developed high technology such as computer and other information system. It was almost impossible to make it used in real navigation field 3-4 years ago because of the absence of any tool to give other ship's information, however recently developed technology suggests new possibility. This study is carried out to develop the automatic ship collision avoidance support system which considers ship's manoeuvrability into it's collision avoidance algorithm. One of the important part in ship collision avoidance system is collision decision module which can calculate collision risk with other ships and act properly to avoid the situation. Many of previous researches are using present ship's dynamic data such as present speed, position and course to calculate collision risk. However when a ship commences avoidance action, the real situation is quite different with one that has been estimated by the ship's initial data due to the ship's manoeuvring characteristic. Therefore it is better to take into account ship's manoeuvring characteristic from the stage of collision decision in ship collision avoidance system. In this study, these effects are included in the developed system. The proposed system are verified its usefulness in numerical simulation environments.

Even if only two ships are encountered, a collision may occur due to the mistaken judgment of the positional relationship. In other words, if an officer does not know a target ship's intention, there is always a risk of collision. In this paper, the experiments are conducted to investigate how the intention affects the action of collision avoidance in cooperative and non-cooperative situations. In non-cooperative situation, each ship chooses a course that minimizes costs based on the current situation. That is, it always performs a selfish selection. In a cooperative situation, the information is exchanged with a target ship and a course is selected based on this information. Each ship uses the Distributed Stochastic Search Algorithm so that a next-intended course can be selected by a certain probability and determines the course. In the experimental method, four virtual ships are set up to analyze the action of collision avoidance. Then, using the actual AIS data of eight ships in the strait of Dover, I compared and analyzed the action of collision avoidance in cooperative and non-cooperative situations. As a result of the experiment, the ships showed smooth trajectories in the cooperative situation, but the ship in the non-cooperative situation made frequent big changes to avoid a collision. In the case of the experiment using four ships, there was no collision in the cooperative situation regardless of the size of the safety domain, but a collision occurred between the ships when the size of the safety domain increased in cases of non-cooperation. In the case of experiments using eight ships, it was found that there are optimal parameters for collision avoidance. Also, it was possible to grasp the variation of the sailing distance and the costs according to the combination of the parameters, and it was confirmed that the setting of the parameters can have a great influence on collision avoidance among ships.

본 논문에서는 지능형 선박의 실시간 장애물회피를 위한 충돌회피시스템을 논한다. 다른 무인자율항체들의 충돌회피시스템과는 달리 지능형 선박의 충돌회피시스템은 목적지까지의 합리적이고 안전한 경로를 통한 충돌회피뿐만 아니라 해양을 항해하는 모든 선박이 준수해야하는 국제해상충돌예방규칙(COLRECs, International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea)을 반영해야한다. 목적지까지의 합리적이고 안전한 경로를 통한 충돌회피라는 일반적인 충돌회피시스템의 목표를 달성하기 위해 BK-곱에 기반한 휴리스틱 탐색기법을 채용하며, 또 다른 목표인 COLREGs의 준수를 위해 충돌회피를 위한 규칙을 적용하는 지식기반시스템을 채용한다. 제안된 충돌회피시스템의 성능검증을 위해 COLREGs에 명시된 여러 가지 조우상황을 설정한 시나리오를 이용하여 최적성과 안정성 관점에서 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 그 결과를 $A^{\ast}$ 탐색기법과 비교한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 충돌회피시스템이 지능형 선박의 실용적이고 효율적인 실시간 충돌회피시스템으로 적합함을 확인하였다.

Two protocols inclouding the receiver collision avoidance function are proposed for high-speed optical fiber LANs with finite users. The basic idea to avoid receiver collision is the grouping of destination nodes by the number of channels and it is accomplished in the architecture with or without one separate control channel. While the protocol with a control channel requires a tunable optical transmitter, a fixed optical transmitter and two fixed optical receiver, the other protocol requires a tunable optical transmitter and one fixed optical receiver. The performance of two receiver collision avoidance protocols is computed and analyzed under various system parameters. The numerical results show that the receiver collision avoidance protocol has better performance for a small load than the protocol without receiver collision avoidance.

Human factors have been considered the primary reason of marine accidents. Especially, the collision between vessels is mostly mused by human behavior. However, there have not been many researches to clarify the reason of marine accidents mused by human factors quantitatively. In order to understand human factors and to enhance safe navigation systematically, using a full mission ship-handling simulator, we've investigated the characteristics of avoiding behavior taken by mariners. Further in order to apply the characteristics more widely and effectively, it's necessary to formulate the standard behavior for ship-handling in the condition of collision avoidance. Is this study, therefore, we intended to propose the concept to model the mariner's standard behavior on the handling of collision avoidance as the first step. As a result, we confirmed the contents of information processing in ship-handling that mariner's generally taking to avoid collision.

다수의 선박이 조우하였을 경우, 충돌 피항을 위해 상대 선박의 의도를 파악하는 것은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 또한 다수의 선박의 의도를 동시에 고려하여 충돌 피항 계획을 세우는 것은 항해사에게 큰 부담이 될 수 있다. 이를 위해 분산 알고리즘이 제안 되었다. 분산 알고리즘은 각각의 선박이 다수의 상대 선박과 정보 교환을 통해 안전한 코스를 탐색할 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 분산 알고리즘의 하나인 분산 확률 탐색 알고리즘을 선박 충돌 피항에 적용하였다. 분산 확률 탐색 알고리즘에서 선박은 비용 감소가 가장 큰 코스와 기존의 코스를 확률과 제한 조건에 따라 선택한다. 분산 확률 탐색 알고리즘은 확률과 제한 조건에 따라 다섯 가지 종류로 나눠진다. 본 논문에서는 다섯 가지 종류의 분산 확률 탐색 알고리즘을 선박 충돌 피항을 위해 적용하였으며 선박 충돌 피항에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 어떠한 분산 확률 탐색 알고리즘이 충돌 피항에 적합한지를 실험하였다. 실험 결과 다섯 가지 버전의 분산 확률 탐색 알고리즘에서 A와 B방식이 효과적으로 선박 충돌 피항을 수행하였다. 본 알고리즘은 분산 시스템 환경에서 선박 충돌 방지를 위해 적용 가능할거라 기대된다.

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a dedicated network to connect vehicles without any centralized administration or infrastructure. The wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) protocol leveraging IEEE 1609/802.11p is widely implemented for VANETs. However, in congested traffic situation, the performance of the WAVE system degrades significantly due to serious collision, especially for safety related broadcast services on the control channel (CCH) interval due to the inherent drawback of its collision avoidance mechanisms called carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). In this paper, we propose a method that can decrease the number of frame collisions in CCH with a few modifications to the IEEE 802.11p protocol. In the paper, vehicles still employ CSMA/CA to compete for the channel access opportunity. However, by taking advantage of periodicity of synchronization interval, a two-state switching scheme introducing two new inter frame space (IFS) is proposed to reduce the number of competing vehicles substantially and as a result, the collision probability is significantly decreased. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in packet collision rate.

The intersection collision avoidance service among various telematics application services is regarded as one of the most critical services with regard to safety. In such safety applications, real-time, correct transmission of service is required. In this paper, we study on efficient infrastructure architecture for intersection collision avoidance using a cooperative mechanism between vehicles and wireless infrastructure. In particular, we propose an infrastructure, called CISN (Cooperative Infrastructure associated with Sensor Networks), in which proper numbers of sensor nodes are deployed on each road, surrounding the intersection. In the proposed architecture, overall service performance is influenced by various parameters consisting of the infrastructure, such as the number of deployed sensor nodes, radio range and broadcast interval of base station, and so on. In order to test the feasibility of the CISN model in advance, and to evaluate the correctness and real-time transmission ability, an intersection sensor deployment simulator is developed. Through various simulations on several environments, we identify optimal points of some critical parameters to build the most desirable CISN.

This paper is focused on dynamic modeling and control system design as well as vision based collision avoidance for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Multi-rotor UAVs are defined as rotary-winged UAVs with multiple rotors. These multi-rotor UAVs can be utilized in various military situations such as surveillance and reconnaissance. They can also be used for obtaining visual information from steep terrains or disaster sites. In this paper, a quad-rotor model is introduced as well as its control system, which is designed based on a proportional-integral-derivative controller and vision-based collision avoidance control system. Additionally, in order for a UAV to navigate safely in areas such as buildings and offices with a number of obstacles, there must be a collision avoidance algorithm installed in the UAV's hardware, which should include the detection of obstacles, avoidance maneuvering, etc. In this paper, the optical flow method, one of the vision-based collision avoidance techniques, is introduced, and multi-rotor UAV's collision avoidance simulations are described in various virtual environments in order to demonstrate its avoidance performance.
