Evolutionary sets of safe ship trajectories with speed reduction manoeuvres within traffic separation schemes

Abstract

In the previous paper the author presented the evolutionary ship trajectory planning method designed to support Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS). This time the extensions of this method are described which allow to combine evolutionary trajectory planning with speed reduction manoeuvres. On TSS regions with higher than usual density of traffic and smaller distances between ships, the course alterations alone are not always sufficient or effective means of collision avoidance. Therefore they must be supplemented by speed reduction manoeuvres to a larger extent than on open waters. The paper includes a brief description of the optimisation problem, descriptions of the new elements of the method (fitness function, algorithms and the evolutionary cycle) and the examples of how the extended method successfully solves the problems unsolvable without applying speed reduction.
