Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for predicting collisions and conflicts between multiple moving bodies. A method for predicting and avoiding collisions and conflicts between multiple moving bodies comprises the steps of: creating objects by modeling the shape of each of multiple moving bodies; creating two-dimensional circles by modeling the objects by using size information of the objects; modeling the two-dimensional circles into moving disks by using at least one of the moving speeds of the moving bodies, the monitoring time window for the moving bodies, and the size information of the two-dimensional circles; computing a Voronoi diagram between the moving disks and calculating edges of the Voronoi diagram; and during the monitoring time window for the moving bodies, calculating a flipping event in which at least one of the edges of the Voronoi diagram is converted into a vertex and then converted into another edge, and a collision event by which a collision between a pair of moving disks defining an edge of the Voronoi diagram is predicted, and calculating whether actual collisions occur between moving disks triggering the flipping event and between moving disks triggering the collision event, in chronological order of the occurrence of the flipping event and the collision event.
