Path Planning for Autonomous Ships: A Hybrid Approach Based on Improved APF and Modified VO Methods

In this research, a hybrid approach for path planning of autonomous ships that generates both global and local paths, respectively, is proposed. The global path is obtained via an improved artificial potential field (APF) method, which makes up for the shortcoming that the typical APF method easily...
