The invention discloses an improved
ant colony optimization-based collision avoidance
planning method for a USV in an unknown static obstacle environment, and belongs to the technical field of water surface unmanned ship collision avoidance planning. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, constructing a
global coordinate system and a local coordinate
system, and establishing a navigation
radar simulation model; Designing a rolling optimization window for real-time collision avoidance planning; Then constructing an environment model by adopting a view method; Designing an improved
ant colony optimization method for real-time collision avoidance planning; And finally, inputting navigation
radar detection information and target point information into a USV static collision avoidance planner based on an improved
ant colony optimization method, and obtaining an adjustment instruction of bow turning and speed of the USV at the next moment. According to the method, a rolling optimization window method and an improved
ant colony optimization method are combined, so that the real-time performance of USV online planning is improved; For the
slow convergence speed of the
ant colony optimization method, an improved pseudo-random proportion rule is provided to select ant state transition; The global
pheromone is updated by referring to the wolf pack distribution principle and the maximum and minimum ant
system, so that the search is prevented from falling into
local optimum.
