摘要：In order to avoid collision, ships usually take collision avoidance manoeuvres, such as course alteration. However, the effect of such a manoeuvre is influenced by ship manoeuvrability. This paper proposed an improved danger sector model to identify the collision risk between two encountering ships. The proposed model is improved from the danger sector model, which is based on a course alteration manoeuvre by taking ship manoeuvrability into consideration. To involve ship manoeuvrability in the proposed model, the turning circle of a ship is determined when it calculates the size of the danger sector. For validating the proposed model, the Automatic Identification System (AIS) data in the northern Yellow Sea of China were used to carry out some experiments of different encountering scenarios. The results show that the proposed improved danger sector model can identify the collision risk between two encountering ships effectively and has advantages compared with the original danger sector model. The proposed model can help mariners and maritime surveillance operators have a more accurate and effective assessment of ship collision risk in the water area, which can contribute to the improvement of navigational safety.
