Most-cited papers in Journal of Navigation

Traffic Capacity

Yahei Fujii, Kenichi Tanaka · 1 Oct 1971

Traffic capacity is the capability of a waterway to deal with the traffic and when the traffic volume exceeds this limit traffic flow stops, as is often experienced on congested roads. According to the U.S. Government Highway Capacity Manual the capacity of a highway with four or more lanes and free from conditions hindering smooth…

A Statistical Study of Ship Domains

Elisabeth Goodwin · 1 Jul 1975

A ship domain may be thought of as the sea around his ship which the navigator would like to keep free, with respect to other ships and fixed objects. In this paper, which was read at an Institute meeting in London on 12 February 1975 with Captain R. Mayboum in the Chair, Mrs. Goodwin describes…

Automatic Identification System (AIS): Data Reliability and Human Error Implications

Abbas Harati-Mokhtari, Alan Wall, P. L. Brooks et al. · 9 Aug 2007

This paper examines the recent introduction of the AIS to the ship's bridge and its potential impact on the safety of marine navigation. Research has shown that 80 to 85% of all recorded maritime accidents are directly due to human error or associated with human error. Safety is an important element of marine navigation and…

Autonomous Ship Collision Avoidance Navigation Concepts, Technologies and Techniques

Thomas Statheros, Gareth Howells, Klaus D. McDonald-Maier · 10 Dec 2007

This study provides both a spherical understanding about autonomous ship navigation for collision avoidance (CA) and a theoretical background of the reviewed work. Additionally, the human cognitive abilities and the collision avoidance regulations (COLREGs) for ship navigation are examined together with water based collision avoidance algorithms. The requirements for autonomous ship navigation are addressed in…

COLREGS-Constrained Real-time Path Planning for Autonomous Ships Using Modified Artificial Potential Fields

Hongguang Lyu, Yong Yin · 16 Nov 2018

This paper presents a real-time and deterministic path planning method for autonomous ships or Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) in complex and dynamic navigation environments. A modified Artificial Potential Field (APF), which contains a new modified repulsion potential field function and the corresponding virtual forces, is developed to address the issue of Collision Avoidance (CA) with…
