Multiple-Ship Collision Avoidance Analysis in the Open Seas, Phase III. Volume II: Technical Report

摘要

The collision avoidance phenomena is a major deterrant to the continued growth of marine transportation systems with regard to tonnage, traffic density, and public safety. Consequently, the U.S. Congress has passed legislation concerning the use of collision avoidance equipment on-board vessels in excess of 10,000 tons. The present effort documents rigorous quantitative investigations concerning the necessary features of collision avoidance equipment that are most likely to lead to a significant reduction of collision risk by using an interactive digital computer facility installed at the Maritime Administration (MARAD) Computer-Aided Operations Research Facility (CAORF), Kings Point, New York.
