A method for assessing the risk between vessels in inland navigation
By constructing speed obstacle zones and calculating DVOI and TVOI, the degree of danger between ships is assessed from two dimensions: heading and speed. This solves the problem of the lack of heading dimension assessment in existing technologies and improves the accuracy and safety of the assessment.

AI Technical Summary
Existing ship hazard assessment methods lack hazard assessment from the course dimension, leading to premature or late warnings in some navigation scenarios. Furthermore, they ignore ship size factors, reducing the accuracy of assessment results.
The vessel and other vessels are abstracted as two rectangular targets. The speed obstacle zone is constructed using the speed obstacle method. The danger level is given from the two dimensions of course and speed by calculating the degree of intrusion (DVOI) and time of intrusion (TVOI) of the speed obstacle zone.
It overcomes the shortcomings of existing methods that lack a heading dimension in the assessment, improves the accuracy of the assessment results, and avoids alarms that are too early or too late, especially in the assessment of the degree of danger when ships are navigating in narrow waterways.
