An automatic bridge-tracking ship collision interception system
By combining an automatic tracking bridge collision interception system with a fixed waterborne protection platform and unmanned vessels, emergency collision avoidance self-tracking interception of non-navigable bridges has been achieved. This solves the problems of insufficient dynamic emergency response and high operation and maintenance costs in existing technologies, and improves collision avoidance capabilities and system reliability.

Abstract
This invention discloses an automatic tracking bridge collision interception system, comprising: a fixed waterborne protection platform, including steel pipe piles driven into the rock foundation and pontoons that can slide along the steel pipe piles, with roller sleeves and anti-collision airbags installed inside the pontoons; a guide-type interception net, one end of which is connected to the roller sleeve and the other end of which is connected to an unmanned surface vessel (USV); when there is a risk of collision, the USV pulls the guide-type interception net to deploy, forming an interception in front of the vessel, while the USV anchors to fix its position; after the risk of collision is eliminated, the USV retracts its anchor, and the roller sleeves, controlled by a motor, retrieve the guide-type interception net and pull the USV back to dock beside the fixed waterborne protection platform; the guide-type interception net includes a skeleton steel cable, a nylon rope mesh, and a rubber guide sleeve; when a vessel collides with the guide-type interception net, the USV drags its anchor, consuming the vessel's energy, the rubber guide sleeves guide the vessel to turn its bow, and the vessel collides with the fixed waterborne protection platform, where the anti-collision airbags inside the pontoons consume the vessel's energy.
