Calculated by dividing the relative distance projection by the relative speed.

Incorporating Rate of Turn (ROT) and Change of Speed (COS) into AIS-based predictions for more accurate results during maneuvers.

): The vector difference between the own ship’s velocity and the target's velocity. Ocean CPA method.pdf

The time remaining until the ships reach that minimum distance. 3. Data Inputs

💡 While the basic CPA method provides a "point-in-time" safety check, modern ocean navigation requires combining CPA with Ship Domain models to ensure reliable collision avoidance in busy shipping lanes. If you'd like, I can provide: The specific mathematical formulas for DCPA and TCPA A summary of COLREG rules related to collision avoidance Calculated by dividing the relative distance projection by

The minimum distance (usually in nautical miles) between the vessels at the moment of closest approach.

The direction of the target's movement relative to the own ship. The time remaining until the ships reach that
