Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method performed by a vehicle guidance system comprising:
obtaining analytics data for a plurality of vehicles or objects centrally communicating with or detected by the vehicle guidance system;
detecting, based on the analytics data, a potential collision event involving multiple pairs of the plurality of vehicles or objects, wherein detecting the potential collision event comprises determining a zero-effort miss vector, wherein the zero-effort miss vector indicates a minimum relative position vector that occurs as a first vehicle of the plurality of vehicles or objects passes a second vehicle or object of the plurality of vehicles or objects, assuming that a thrust vector of the second vehicle or object ceases and the first vehicle and the second vehicle or object coast under the acceleration of gravity only;
determining trajectory adjustment information for the first vehicle involved in the potential collision event; and
adjusting the trajectory of the first vehicle based upon the trajectory adjustment information to provide real-time autonomous collision avoidance.
