Abstract

An account of the calculation of the geometry of collision zones surrounding vessels engaged in overtaking and meeting encounters is given. The zones are calculated for a range of mariners' decision times corresponding to clear and restricted visibility. The determination of encounter risk from the size of the zones is discussed.
