Abstract

An expert system of collision avoidance developed by CLIPS and Visual C++ is continuously introduced in this paper. Further, a simulation function of collision avoidance is added to the expert system, the function can simulate the avoidance actions of own ship and a specific target of a period of future time. This function can help navigators to estimate collision risk and make proper collision avoidance actions in dangerous situations for navigational safety of ships. Furthermore, navigational rules can also be evaluated during the process of simulation.
