Navigating Patterns Analysis for Onboard Guidance Support in Crossing Collision-Avoidance Operations

A proper interpretation and classification of navigators’ operational behaviors is crucial to the design of onboard decision-support systems. This research work dives into the study of navigators’ navigating patterns (NPs) in a maritime collision-avoidance (CA) traffic situation. Three NPs, specifically conservative, moderate, and aggressive modes, are identified with respect to a collision risk a...
