Collision Avoidance Strategy Optimization of Ship’s Speed Alteration with Bacterial Foraging Algorithm
Abstract:
When ship navigates at sea, collision avoidance of ship’s speed alteration is frequently adopted by officer on watch in order to prevent from forming collision situation with target ship(s). Bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) that imitates the social foraging behavior of Escherichia coli is an optimal search method suitable for complex problems. This research adopts the bacterial foraging algorithm to find the speed alteration collision avoidance strategy from an economical viewpoint, combining the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea (COLREGS) and the safety domain of ship. An optimal time of changing speed, amplitude of speed alteration and navigation restoration time will also be provided. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been verified by simulation. The study offers new thinking and a practical method for collision avoidance decision.
