Summary:In recent years, research on autonomous ships has gained significant traction, resulting in the development of various automatic avoidance systems. However, these systems typically offer only one avoidance route, which may not match the navigator's preferences. This discrepancy arises from differences between the evaluation function utilized by the automated system and the factors considered by the navigator when selecting a route. Additionally, the navigator's considerations vary depending on the ship's maneuvering phase and prevailing conditions. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an automatic avoidance system that generates multiple avoidance routes tailored to the navigator's preferences. By integrating multiple evaluation functions, the system presents a range of options, allowing the navigator to choose the most appropriate route based on their assessment.
