Algorithm and Simulation of Ship Maneuver Scheme in Marine Environment

Abstract

In marine navigation, we need to calculate the maneuver scheme of ships. The existing solution is lack of intelligence, which generally use the method of manual drawing for calculation, is also inevitably to increase the cost of manpower and time. For solving this problem, this paper proposes a ship maneuvering algorithm based on triangle transformation, which includes three aspects of approach maneuver, occupation position maneuver and avoidance maneuver. The algorithm takes the relative bearing, speed and position of target ship as inputs, predicts the relative bearing and the time required to complete the maneuver, and provides the support of decision for maritime tactical operations. Finally, the algorithm is implemented by Java programming language and simulated in all directions by MATLAB. The results show that the ship maneuvering scheme predicted by this method has a good fit with the actual situation, which verifies that the proposed algorithm has higher reliability and effectiveness.
