  • Patent number: 11688285
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dynamic collision avoidance method for an unmanned surface vessel based on route replanning. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring navigation information and pose information of a neighboring ship of an unmanned vessel itself via a vessel-borne sensor; constructing a collision cone between the unmanned vessel and the neighboring ship; introducing a degree of uncertainty with respect to observing movement information of the neighboring ship and applying a layer of soft constraint to the collision cone; applying a speed and a heading limit range of the unmanned vessel; acquiring an ultimate candidate speed set; introducing a cost function to select an optimum collision avoidance speed; and performing an internal recycle of navigation simulation with the optimum collision avoidance speed to obtain a route replanning point for dynamic collision avoidance of the unmanned vessel.
