description With the increasing proportion of ships in logistics and the growing prosperity of traffic in maritime, negotiation and cooperative collision avoidance between ships is becoming more and more essential for navigational safety. This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control method that utilizes intention data of the target ship and a quaternion ship domain model to achieve collision avoidance while considering COLREGs, named IQMPC. Firstly, by utilizing the intention data of other ships, trajectories of the own ship and the target ship are well predicted to detect potential collision risks and take optimal avoidance actions in advance while risks exist. Secondly, the quaternion ship domain with its adjacent area is divided into four different parts to reflect the urgency of ship encounters. Collision risk evaluation functions are designed to determine avoidance actions conforming to COLREGs. Thirdly, several different ship encounter scenarios were simulated based on IQMPC to verify its capability.
