Extract

Automatic collision avoidance systems are being installed on board more and more ships and this necessitates verifying their characteristics, as compared with postulated requirements. The requirement for such anti-collision systems may be specified as follows:

(i) Radar echoes should be tracked automatically, regardless of weather conditions, the number of echoes, or the relative distance between tracked targets.

(ii) The system should be operable by a single observer, assuming that the information given is used efficiently.

(iii) The information should be displayed in the clearest and the most comprehensible form.

(iv) The system should facilitate alterations of course and speed.

(v) Information relating to collision risk should be provided in ample time if the system is to operate in dense traffic.

(vi) The system should include alarm devices which operate in pre-determined circumstances.
