Zhang, Liang (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Chen, Pengfei (author), Li, M. (author)In this research, a hybrid approach for path planning of autonomous ships that generates both global and local paths, respectively, is proposed. The global path is obtained via an improved artificial potential field (APF) method, which makes up for the shortcoming that the typical APF method easily falls into a local minimum. A modified...journal article 2021

Chen, P. (author)Maritime transportation has been one of the major contributors to the global trade and economy. Accidents, however, have been continuously posing risks to individuals and societies in terms of loss of human life, economic and environmental consequences, etc. This thesis paid particular attention to the probabilistic risk analysis of ship...doctoral thesis 2020

Chen, P. (author), Huang, Y. (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author), Mou, Junmin (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)In this research, a hybrid approach for global path planning for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) is proposed, which generates the shortest path considering the collision risk and the proximity between path and obstacles. The collision risk concerning obstacles is obtained using Time-Varying Collision Risk (TCR) concept, taking into...journal article 2020

Chen, L. (author), Huang, Y. (author), Zheng, Huarong (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Urban waterways have great potential in cargo transport to relieve the congestion in the overloaded road networks. This paper explores the potential of applying cooperative multi-vessel systems (CMVSs) to improve the safety and efficiency of transport in urban waterway networks. A framework consisting of vessel train formation (VTF) and...journal article 2020

Huang, Y. (author), Chen, L. (author), Chen, P. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Collision prevention is critical for navigation safety at sea. At early ages, researchers aimed at developing navigational assistance systems for enhancing situational awareness of human operators as human is at the core of collision avoidance. Recently, autonomous vehicles have gained a remarkable amount of attention with a focus on solving...review 2020

Chen, L. (author)This PhD thesis investigates V2V, V2I, and I2I cooperation of CMVSs for improving the safety and efficiency of waterborne transport. A predictive motion control framework and a generic negotiation framework are proposed to achieve consensus among controllers. Different applications provide insights into the impact of CMVSs on the performance of...doctoral thesis 2019
