A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF MARINE TRAFFIC USING DOMAINS AND ARENAS

This paper outlines the concept of a domain and an evasion area, called an arena, around a ship which are then applied to produce a computer model of ship behaviour. The arena determines when a ship takes avoiding action, as does the land arena which reacts with a discrete series of coastal points to prevent the ship running aground.
