Abstract

In this paper the autonomous ship guidelines formulated by classification societies in various countries were analyzed, and the control switching mechanism of L2 class autonomous ships was conducted from four dimensions: switching scenarios, priority of control acquisition, control takeover agents and switching process. Results indicate that switching scenarios can be classified into three types based on their characteristics, and there is a certain correspondence between different types of scenarios and the control take over agents. The priority order for obtaining control is “highest on board crew, followed by shore based operators, and lowest in autonomous systems”. There are certain differences in the switching process between different control takeover agents, but common basic principles need to be followed. The research result can serve as a reference for relevant parties in establishing control authority switching mechanisms of autonomous ships.

Key words： autonomous ship; human-machine collaboration; autonomous ship guidelines; control switching mechanis
