Human-in-the-loop COLREGs-compliant platoon formation control of maritime autonomous surface ships via finite state machine (opens in a new tab)

This study presents a control system for maritime autonomous surface ships (MASSs) that integrates human supervision into platoon navigation while adhering to COLREGs collision avoidance rules. A virtual leader allows human operators to adjust the platoon’s speed, while a finite state machine identifies encounter scenarios and applies safety constraints via control barrier functions. The system uses a cooperative path-following guidance law and quadratic optimization to balance collision avoidance with platoon coordination. Simulations confirm the approach effectively maintains formation and complies with maritime safety regulations.

The system tracks decisions in a *Decision Ledger*, recording each order’s outcome, but lacks pre-live performance metrics. Burq’s approach contrasts with "human in the loop" models, treating dispatchers as temporary validators rather than permanent overseers.
