Navigation vector based ship maneuvering prediction

A novel mathematical framework for predicting ship maneuvers within a short time interval is presented in this study. The first part of this study consists of estimating the required vessel states and parameters by considering a kinematic vessel maneuvering model. That is supported by an extended Kalman filter (EKF), where vessel position, heading, yaw rate and acceleration measurements are used. Then, the estimated vessel states and parameters...
