Abstract

This paper presents the development of an autonomous maritime navigation system for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). In the autonomous system various maritime navigational devices are connected to obtain necessary navigational information but with uncertainties. To improve signal accuracy as well as robustness, a novel multi-sensor data fusion algorithm is proposed and developed. Then, a new predictive path planning algorithm is employed to provide an advisory collision-free trajectory. Practical trials and computer based simulations are carried out to prove the effectiveness of the developed system
