Abstract

There are now radar installations which track ships automatically, and these radars can provide the researcher with statistics on collision-avoidance manoeuvres. The extraction, by hand, is laborious and time consuming. This paper describes a mathematical model which automatically detects collision-avoidance manoeuvres. The model operates on an adaption of the Range to Domain Over Range Rate (RDRR) principle, which enables ships to be identified for analysis shortly before they are expected to initiate a collision-avoidance manoeuvre. The model has been computerized and results presented.
