文摘针对传统速度障碍(velocity obstacles,VO)法进行局部路径规划时避碰路径长、避碰时间长以及忽略紧迫局面会遇中避让责任的约束等问题,提出一种适用于水面无人艇(unmanned surface vehicle,USV)的改进VO法。将四元船舶领域和碰撞威胁距离引入VO避碰时机的计算中,确定了避碰阈值;将最晚施舵距离作为碰撞危险局面过渡到紧迫局面的临界值,构建了紧迫局面模型;设计了USV避碰模型,并通过国际海上避碰规则(International Regulations for Collision Avoidance at Sea,GOLREGs)进行约束。比较分析了对遇、右交叉、左交叉和追越4种会遇的避碰仿真。仿真结果表明:改进的VO法平均路径缩短39.88%、平均时间减少44.26%,改进后的局部规划能够在保证安全避碰的条件下满足GOLREGs第8条和第13~17条的避让要求。
