The Steering and Sailing Rules of International Regulation for Preventing Collisions at Sea now in use direct actions to avoid collision when two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision. But these rules do not refer to the minimum relative distances and safety relative distances between two vessels when they should take such actions.In this paper the ship's collision avoiding actions being analyzed from a viewpoint of ship motions, the mathematical formulas to calculate such relative distances necessary for taking actions to avoid collision were worked out. The values of maneuvering indices being figured out through experiments of 20 actual ships of small, medium, large and mammoth size and applied to calculating formulas, the minimum relative distances and safety relative distances were calculated. The main results were as follows. 1. It was confirmed that the criterion elements for collision avoiding actions in head-on situation of two vessels shall be the minimum relative distances and safety relative distances between them. 2. On the assumption that two vessels same in size and condition were approaching each other in head-on situation, the minimum relative distance of small vessel(GT : 160~650tons) was found to be about 4.7 times her own length, and those of medium (GT:2,300~4,500tons),large(GT:15,000~62,000tons) and mommoth (GT:91,000~194,000tons) vessels were found to be about 5.2 times, about 5.2 times and about 6.1 times their own lengths respectively. 3. On the assumption that two vessels same in size and condition were approaching each other in head-on situation, the safe relative distance of small vessel (GT : 160~650tons) was found to be about 6.8 times her own length, and those of medium (GT : 2,300~4,500tons), large (GT: 15,000~62,000tons) and mammoth (GT : 91,000~194,000tons) vessels were found to be about 9.0 times, about 6.3 times, and about 8.0 times their own lengths respectively. 4. It is considered to be helpful for the safety of ship handling that the sufficient safe relative distances for every vessels shall be more than about 12~14 times which are 2 times minimum relative distance, their own length on above assumption.

현행 국제해상충돌예방규칙에서는 침로와 속력을 유지할 의무가 있는 피추월선인 유지선, 어로에 종사중인 유지선, 횡단상태의 유지선 등의 유지선이 피항선과 아주 가까이 접근하여 피항선의 피항동작만으로 충돌을 피할 수 없을 때는 급박한 위험을 피하기 위한 조치로서 유지선의 충돌을 피하기 위한 최선의 협력동작에 관하여 규정하고 있으나, 이 규칙에서는 두 선박이 어느 정도의 거리로 접근하였을 때 유지선이 협력동작을 취하여야 하는지 안전한계의 피항개시거리에 대해서는 전혀 언급되지 않고 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 유지선의 최선의 협력동작을 취할 시점의 기준이 되는 최소피항개시거리를 선체운동학적인 관점에서 해석.연구하고, 실선시험에서 구한 11척의 소형, 중형, 대형 및 초대형 선박의 조종성능수를 이용하여 최소피항개시거리를 산출하고, 이를 검토.고찰하였다. 이 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 소형선, 중형선, 대형선 및 초대형선을 막론하고 어느 선박에서나 유지선이 취하여야 할 최소피항개시거리가 가장 큰 경우는 양 선박이 조우하는 침로교각이 90˚이며, 90˚와 90˚부근의 각도(70~90˚)에서 충돌의 위험이 가장 높다. 2. 침로교각이 90˚인 경우에 유지선이 취하여야 할 최소피항개시거리는 소형선(160~650톤급 선박)에서는 그 선박 길이의 약 6.8배 이상, 중형선(2,300~3,500톤급 선박)에서는 약 9.0배 이상, 대형선(22,000~62,000톤급 선박)에서는 약 5.4배 이상, 초대형선(91,000~139,000톤급 선박)에서는 약 6.8배 이상이 되어야 한다. 3. 소형선, 중형선, 대형선 및 조대형선을 막론하고 어느 선박에서나 침로교각이 90˚부근의 각도(70~90˚)에서 유지선이 취하여야 할 안전피항개시거리는 그 선박 길이의 9배 이상이 되어야 한다. 4. 소형선, 중형선, 대형선, 및 초대형선을 막론하고, 어느 선박에서나 침로교각이 크게 둔각인 경우에는 적은 예각인 경우보다 충돌의 위험이 더 크므로 더 큰 거리를 두고 피항동작에 들어가야 한다. 5. 유지선과 피항선간에 유지선이 급박한 위험을 피하기 위하여 침로만으로 최선의 협력동작을 취하는 경우 본 논문에서 계산한 각 침로교각에 대한 최소피항개시거리와 안전피항개시거리을 미리 염두해 두고 피항조선을 하게 되면, 감각에 의한 조선방법으로 야기되는 충돌해난사고를 지양 할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

The concept of the satellite formation flight is area where it is actively study with expandability and safety compare to existing satellite. For execution of duty with more safety issue, it needs to consider hot topic of space debris for operation of formation flight. In this paper, it suggests heuristic algorithm to have avoidance maneuver for space debris towards operating flight formation. Indeed it covers, using common software, operating simulation to nearest space environment and not only to have goal of avoidance but also minimizing the usage of fuel and finding optimization for maximizing cycle of formation flight. For improvement on convergence speed of existing heuristic algorithm, it substitute to hybrid heuristic algorithm, PSOGSA, and the result of simulation, it represents the satisfaction of minimum range for successful avoidance maneuver and compare to not using avoidance maneuver, it keeps more than three times of formation maintenance performance. From these, it is meaningful results of showing several success goals like simple avoidance collision and fuel usage and decreasing number of times of maintaining formation maneuver.

In this paper, the authors introduced a new approach to find the optimal collision avoidance maneuver considering multi threatening objects within short period, while satisfying constraints on the fuel limit and the acceptable collision probability. A preliminary effort in applying a genetic algorithm (GA) to those kinds of problems has also been demon\-strated through a simulation study with a simple case problem and various fitness functions. And then, GA is applied to the complex case problem including multi-threatening objects. Two distinct collision avoidance maneuvers are dealt with: the first is in-track direction of collision avoidance maneuver. The second considers radial, in-track, cross-track direction maneuver. The results show that the first case violates the collision probability threshold, while the second case does not violate the threshold with satisfaction of all conditions. Various factors for analyzing and planning the optimal collision avoidance maneuver are also presented.
