Intelligent collision prevention navigating instrument peculiar to vessel
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of marine navigation equipment, particularly relates to a kind of intelligent collision prevention navigating instrument peculiar to vessel (Vessel Intelligent Collision Avoidance Navigator is called for short VICAN).
Background technology
Radar is used for marine navigation, existing so far six more than ten years history, become the strong instrument of ship collision prevention, location and navigation, it acts on especially based on ship collision prevention.But traditional marine navigation radar display, instantaneous position that can only the display-object ship is measured its distance and bearing, and directly the display-object ship's head and the speed of a ship or plane; In addition, it can not directly obtain the time (TCPA) of the distance to closest point of approach (CPA) and the arrival distance to closest point of approach of target ship.And judge whether the target ship has risk of collision and determine the measure that this ship institute should take, must know again the other side distance to closest point of approach, arrive time of distance to closest point of approach and real dynamic.Therefore, when utilizing radar to carry out collision prevention, require the driver to pay close attention to target on the radar screen, regularly carry out Radar Plotting, calculate, obtain above-mentioned data by mapping.The artificial process of marking and drawing a target needs 4 approximately to 7min, and in the plotting process, requires both sides' speed of a ship or plane that goes as course constant, as changes, and palpus restarts plotting after waiting both sides' coursespeed stable.Like this, often owing to artificial the plotting delayed the opportunity that the time loses safe avoidance, especially taking place that many boats and ships meet and during close quarters situation that motor-driven (alter course or change speed) is frequent, artificial plotting can not carry out often.
Because the development of electronic computer technology and promoting the use of, begin to occur automatic radar plotting aid (Autuomatic radar Plotting Aid based on robot calculator in latter stage in the sixties, be called for short ARPA), in the marine navigation radar technical development, stepped a bigger step.This automatic radar plotting aid can be manually or auto-acquire, catches (or claiming admission) back automatically track target, with vector form display-object ship's head and speed of a ship or plane on display (PPI) screen.In addition, set the permission boundary (or claiming alarm threshold) of distance to closest point of approach and arrival distance to closest point of approach time by the operator, when computing machine is calculated the distance to closest point of approach of target and arrived the distance to closest point of approach time during less than the permission boundary that sets, automatically in every way (vision or sound equipment) reports to the police, remind the driver to take the measure of dodging, if needed, also can try to grasp ship (examination changed course and/or examination change speed), to determine the required measure of taking of dodging.
But for a long time, the formulation of Decision of Collision Avoidance depends on mainly that the sequence of operations of navigation human pilot finishes between boats and ships, that is: at first, human pilot by regular, watch from a height or a distance effectively, in time find the target ship; Then, the character of current navigation condition and target ship, Meeting Situation, risk of collision etc. are analyzed, judged; At last, according to International Rules of the Road and oneself nautical knowledge and navigation experience, and comprehensive current judged result, carry out reasoning through brains, make and dodge decision-making accordingly.Dodging in the decision-making process of whole " discovery---judgement---being dodged ", not only require the navigation human pilot will concentrate one's energy to watch from a height or a distance, make right judgement, also will learn the every clause in the rule simultaneously by heart, and it is had correct understanding and utilization flexibly.So imperfection in these Rulemakings and people utilization in the rule owing to understand or error that other reasons causes, all will cause the failure of Decision of Collision Avoidance and the generation of collision accident.And under some specific condition, can people estimate situation rapidly and take correct action, depend on people's individual character and psychological condition to a great extent.Nervous as human pilot, it is slow in reacting to become, and causes operational error; In addition, overtired also is a reason that causes error.
Automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA) can help people to solve the subproblem of information processing, but the formulation of final Decision of Collision Avoidance still depends on the people, so the use of ARPA can not substitute automatic collision avoidance system fully.Even in today that composite ship bridge system (IBS) occurs, also just maybe can meet ship time to send corresponding danger warning near danger such as the comprehensive navigation system that NACOS is such, and the formulation of Decision of Collision Avoidance and collision prevention behaviour ship etc. be finished by the driver.
How progressively to alleviate driver's burden in Models of Decision-making in Ship Collision Avoidance and operation, and then fundamentally solve the puzzlement of human factor problem to navigation safety, be the target that the dealer pursues.
