The purpose of this study is to realize the intelligent deliberative obstacle avoidance for unmanned
surface vehicle (USV), based on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea called COLREGS.
Firstly, a three-level system architecture is designed for the ship intelligent collision avoidance system. Secondly,
an intelligent collision avoidance algorithm is presented based on the calculation of motion parameters and the
rules of COLREGS. Thirdly, according to COLREGS, the marine environment is modeled from the electronic chart
data and radar information, and a deliberative collision avoidance algorithm is written. Finally, the deliberative
collision avoidance simulation is carried out for the USV. The feasibility and reliability of intelligent collision
avoidance algorithm are verified by the vivid simulation results.
