Presentation algorithm of possible collision solutions in a navigational decision support system

The article discusses an algorithm devised for presentations of acceptable solutions to collision situations of ships at sea. The solutions, course alteration ranges, are determined in compliance with the Collision Regulations. The solutions account for cases where more than two vessels are involved in a collision situation. The algorithm has been implemented into NAVDEC, a navigational decision support system. The presented results have been obtained in field research, onboard the motor vessel “Nawigator XXI”
