Efficient COLREG-Compliant Collision Avoidance in Multi-Ship Encounter Situations

Ship collisions are major types of maritime accidents which may involve the loss of life and significant damage to property and the environment. Although many automatic ship collision avoidance algorithms have been suggested, most of them are only applicable to a single ship-to-ship encounter situation. Also, although there exist some studies on collision avoidance for multiple agent systems, mari...
