Vessel Trajectory Prediction using COLREGs-aware Optimal Planning
David Kaikkonen, Fredrik Ljungberg, Erik Frisk
This paper presents a trajectory prediction method for marine vessels based on optimal planning. Crude initial trajectories respecting static obstacles are first generated using A*-search to provide a feasible warm start. In the second step, a numerical optimizer is used to ensur…
