Abstract

We propose a method for scenario-based testing of maritime collision avoidance systems. The goal is to test an autonomous agent in scenarios that can lead to an unacceptable risk of collision or may clearly not comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs).Our method is based on the use of a discriminating artificial neural network that is trained online while performing the testing of the agents. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm generates test suits composed mostly of challenging scenarios. This allows us to validate quickly if the agent under test can perform the collision avoidance maneuvers safely while abiding the COLREGs.
