英文摘要：

The problem of ships collision accident in inland waterways has been increasingly concerned because it may cause great losses in human life and property and bring environmental pollution. An approach to solving this problem is proposed in this paper. As the basis of ship collision avoidance system, a mathematical model of ship maneuvering motion is first described. Then, optimization ap- proach based on genetic algorithm is applied to seek the ship trajectory considering different navigational constraint conditions of a ship in inland waterways. In this approach, a fitness function is used to model the constraints including target ship and obstacles. The optimal results show that the present method is efficient and can be further applied to the ship automatic collision avoidance system.
