摘要：This study leveraged the millimeter wireless access in vehicular environments (mmWAVE) communication technology to reflect the maneuvering characteristics of small fishing vessels and constructed a collision prevention algorithm that can be applied relatively easily. The algorithm was verified through simulation and actual ship experiments. The algorithm had four components: detection of vessels within three miles; identification of dangerous vessels by applying the time to the closest point of approach (TCPA) and distance at the closest point of approach (DCPA) criteria; continuous monitoring of maritime traffic risk; and incremental alarm signaling. The simulations and experiments confirmed that the alarm was generated incrementally in accordance with the distance to a dangerous situation, with no false alarms. Thus, the proposed algorithm offers potential to enhance the safety of small fishing vessels.
