The role of computer
aids in collision avoidance is continuously increasing. The majority
of onboard ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aids) systems offer the
function of manual or automatic determining of the collision
avoidance manoeuvre. Furthermore, according to the legally binding
international regulations it is now obligatory to install the onboard
AIS (Automatic Identification Systems) systems capable of delivering
more precise data on targets. Another key element in improving the
ship safety is VTS (Vessel Traffic Services) systems , which
determine safe ship trajectories on restricted waters. Their
assistance is vital for ships approaching harbours, traversing
channels or going sea.
