description There is a collection of a large amount of automatic identification system (AIS) data that contains ship encounter information, but mining the collision avoidance knowledge from AIS big data and carrying out effective machine learning is a difficult problem in current maritime field. Herein, first the Douglas–Peucker (DP) algorithm was used to preprocess the AIS data. Then, based on the ship domain the risk of collision was identified. Finally, a double-gated recurrent unit neural network (GRU-RNN) was constructed to learn unmanned surface vehicle (USV) collision avoidance decision from the extracted data of successful encounters of ships. The double GRU-RNN was trained on the 2015 Tianjin Port AIS dataset to realize the effective learning of ship encounter data. The results indicated that the double GRU-RNN could effectively learn the collision avoidance pattern hidden in AIS big data, and generate corresponding ship collision-avoidance decisions for different maritime navigation states. This study contributes significantly to the increased efficiency and safety of sea operations. The proposed method could be potentially applied to USV technology and intelligence collision avoidance.
