Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of safe ship driving. Background Art

[0002] Despite the continuous improvement of navigational instruments and equipment for safe navigation, and the advancement of collision avoidance technologies, including the International Maritime Organization's resolution mandating the installation of automatic identification systems (AIS) on ships, ship collisions remain a persistent problem. These devices allow ships to accurately obtain their own position, heading, and speed, and easily obtain information about other ships. However, due to the impact of terrain structure, the dynamic characteristics of ships, and inclement weather conditions that can affect maritime traffic, the timing of collision avoidance maneuvers during navigation still largely depends on the subjective judgment of the pilot, posing significant collision risks and potential safety hazards.

[0003] The paper "Calculation of Ship Composite Collision Risk Based on Fuzzy Theory" proposes a method for calculating the composite collision risk of ships. This algorithm is based on the concepts of ship domain and dynamic domain. On the basis of the ship collision geometry principle, it uses fuzzy rules and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods to judge the ship collision risk. However, this method does not consider the timing of the action that the ship should take when the risk changes.

[0004] The paper "Ship Collision Avoidance Integrated Decision-Making System" studies ship collision avoidance behavior and the thought process behind multi-ship, multi-criteria collision avoidance decisions. Applying maritime traffic engineering theory and fuzzy set theory, it establishes a multi-object, multi-criteria ship collision avoidance integrated decision-making model. However, this algorithm fails to consider the impact of navigable area size and weather changes on ship collision avoidance decisions.

[0005] The paper "Construction of a Ship Collision Risk Model" establishes a mathematical model for determining the risk of collision between ships based on the concept of "domain" and fuzzy principles. This model not only comprehensively considers the impact of multiple factors on collision risk but is also simple and easy to implement. However, this method also fails to consider the impact of collision risk on the timing of collision avoidance actions.

[0006] Some of the above literature does not consider the impact of the collision risk on the timing of collision avoidance maneuvers. Some also fail to consider the impact of weather factors and the size of the navigable area on collision risk. However, in actual navigation, ships often face more complex and dangerous collision avoidance scenarios. Various factors affect the collision risk of ships and interfere with the pilot's judgment on the timing of collision avoidance maneuvers. This results in an unclear timing for collision avoidance maneuvers. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to solve the problem that the timing of collision avoidance actions cannot be accurately determined in collision avoidance scenarios in complex marine environments. A method and system for assessing the temporal and spatial risk of ship encounters taking into account the influence of the navigation environment are provided.

[0008] The method for assessing the temporal and spatial risk of a ship encountering a vessel considering the influence of the navigation environment of the present invention comprises:

[0009] Step 1: Obtain the channel environment information of the ship's navigation area and the ship's own position, heading and speed information through the ship environment perception module and positioning module;

[0010] Step 2: Calculate the closest approach distance DCPA and the approach time TCPA from the current position of the ship to the closest point of intersection based on the channel environment information within the navigable area and the ship's own position, heading, and speed information;

[0011] Based on the channel environment information within the navigable area and the ship's own position, heading and speed information, the safe encounter distance d1, the absolutely safe encounter distance d2, the latest avoidance distance D1 and the avoidance distance D2 where measures can be taken are calculated.

[0012] Step 3: Using the distance and time calculated in step 2, calculate the collision risk level SCRI in spatial position and the collision risk level TCRI of the two ships in the time dimension;

[0013] Step 4: Use the synthesis operator to combine the spatial risk index SCRI and the temporal risk index TCRI to calculate the spatiotemporal collision risk index STCRI.

[0014] Step 5: Evaluate the risk of ship collision based on the spatial risk index (SCRI), temporal risk index (TCRI) and spatiotemporal collision risk index (STCRI).

K1 represents the distance expansion coefficient caused by the influence of harsh environment. It is determined by factors such as the instability of the ship status, the uncoordinated actions of the two ships and the error of the equipment. The value range is 3 to 5.

[0026] Furthermore, in the present invention, in step 2, the latest avoidance distance D1 and the avoidance distance D2 that can be avoided are:

[0027]

[0028] D2=K2·D1

[0036] (1) If SCRI is 0, then STCRI is 0;

[0037] (2) If SCRI is not 0 and TCRI is 0, then STCRI is 0;

[0038] (3) If both SCRI and TCRI are not 0, then STCRI is the larger value of SCRI and TCRI.

[0039] Furthermore, in the present invention, in step 5, the method for evaluating the risk of ship collision is:

[0040] When SCRI = 0, there is no risk of collision between the two ships;

[0041] When SCRI>0 and STCRI=0, the risk of collision between the two ships begins to arise; the give-way vessel needs to take collision avoidance action according to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea;

[0042] When STCRI>0, the collision risk is increasing. The give-way vessel still needs to take action to avoid collision, while the direct-traveling vessel is allowed to take collision avoidance action to avoid collision.

[0043] When STCRI=0 or the rate of change of TCRA is greater than 0, the collision avoidance risk gradually decreases.

[0091] When STCRI=0 or the rate of change of TCRA is greater than 0, the collision avoidance risk gradually decreases.

[0092] A ship encounter spatiotemporal risk assessment system considering the influence of the navigation environment comprises a data acquisition module (1), an encounter collision parameter calculation module (2), a collision risk calculation module (3), and a ship collision risk assessment module (4);

[0093] The data acquisition module (1) is used to obtain the channel environment information of the ship's navigation area and the ship's own position, heading and speed information through the ship environment perception module and the positioning module;

[0094] The encounter and collision parameter calculation module (2) is used to calculate the closest encounter distance DCPA of the two ships and the encounter time TCPA from the current position of the ship to the closest intersection point of the two ships based on the channel environment information in the navigable area and the position, heading and speed information of the ship itself;

[0097] The ship collision risk assessment module (4) is used to assess the risk of ship collision based on the spatial risk index SCRI, the temporal risk index TCRI and the spatiotemporal collision risk index STCRI.

[0098] Specific real-time processes for risk avoidance include:

[0099] 1. Obtaining the waterway environment information of the ship's navigation area and its own position, heading, and speed information. The ship is equipped with marine environment perception modules such as a navigation radar system, a satellite positioning navigation system, an AIS ship automatic identification system, a laser radar, and a binocular vision system, which can obtain the waterway environment information around the ship and its own position, heading, and speed information in real time;

[0100] The above-mentioned channel environment information refers to the position, course, speed information of other navigable ships around the ship, the range information of the navigable area and weather conditions information.

[0101] 2. Calculate the closest approach distance DCPA and the closest approach time TCPA from the current position of the ship to the intersection point of the two ships.

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] Among them, V0 is the speed of the ship; V t For the speed of his ship; is the heading angle of own ship; is the heading angle of the other ship; θ is the azimuth of the other ship relative to the own ship; r is the relative distance between the other ship and the own ship.

[0105] 3. Calculate the safe encounter distance d1, the absolutely safe encounter distance d2, the latest avoidance distance D1, and the avoidance distance D2 where measures can be taken.

[0106]

[0107] d2=K1·d1

[0108]

[0109] D2=K2·D1

[0110] Where W is the channel width; D is the ship width; E is the current visibility; L is the ship length; R is the distance between the two ships; V r is the relative speed of the two encountering ships, and V is the own ship's speed. K1 and K2 represent the distance expansion coefficients caused by adverse environmental conditions. These coefficients are determined by factors such as ship instability, uncoordinated actions between the two ships, and equipment errors, and are generally set between 3 and 5.

[0111] 4. Calculate the collision risk level SCRI of the two ships in spatial position and the collision risk level TCRI of the two ships in time dimension.

[0112] SCRI represents the degree of danger of the two ships in space, and its mathematical expression is:

[0118] 5. A synthetic operator is designed to combine the spatial risk SCRi and the temporal risk TCRi to calculate the spatio-temporal collision risk STCRi.

[0119] The spatio-temporal collision risk STCRi can be obtained by combining the SCRi and the TCRi, and the combination method is as follows:

[0120]

[0122] (1) If SCRi is 0, then STCRi is 0;

[0123] (2) If SCRi is not 0 and TCRi is 0, then STCRi is 0;

[0124] (3) If SCRi and TCRi are both not 0, then STCRi is the larger one of SCRi and TCRi.

[0125] 6. According to the calculated spatial risk SCRi, temporal risk TCRi and spatio-temporal collision risk STCRi, it is determined what action should be taken in the ship encounter situation.

[0126] When SCRi = 0, there is no collision risk between the two ships, and each ship is free to take action.

[0127] When SCRi > 0 and STCRi = 0, the collision risk begins to occur, and the giving-way ship should take action to avoid collision according to the COLREGs rules.

[0128] When STCRi > 0, the collision risk is large, and the giving-way ship should still take action to avoid collision, but the oncoming ship is allowed to take action to avoid collision.

[0129] When STCRi = 0 or the rate of change of TCRi is greater than 0, the collision risk gradually disappears, and the homing action can be performed.
