Maritime accidents in the Yangtze River: A time series analysis for 2011–2020

The theoretical analysis of maritime accidents is a hot topic, but the time characteristics and dynamics of maritime accidents time series are still unclear. It is difficult to draw a clear conclusion from the cause analysis, so the accident is difficult to be predicted. To bridge this gap, this research analyzes the characteristics and...

Collision Avoidance Systems for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships Considering Uncertainty in Ship Dynamics

Many Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS) for autonomous ships usually presume that a ship's dynamics are completely known in advance. However, precise parameters for ships in different operating conditions are, in fact, uncertain and unknown. The parameter identification of ship dynamics is challenging and time-consuming. Thus, uncertainties in...
