Fuzzy logic intelligent decision support system for safety of maritime navigation based on COLREG

Abstract

The main objective of this work is the development of an intelligent decision support system based on soft computing and fuzzy logic that incorporates considerations from the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG) and navigation experts knowledge, able to face demanding and complex situations in an evolutive maritime environment, building a comprehensive understanding of the situation and providing explainable and interpretable recommendations to ships' watchkeeping officers or performing actions if integrated in autonomous ships navigation systems.
