The paper describes the usage of neuroevolutionary method in collision avoidance of two power-driven vessels approaching each other regarding COLREGs rules. This may be also be seen as the ship handling system that simulates a learning process of a group of artificial helmsmen - autonomous control units, created with artificial neural networks. The helmsman observes an environment by its input signals and according to assigned CORLEGs rule, he calculates the values of required parameters of maneuvers (propellers rpm and rudder deflection) in a collision avoidance situation. In neuroevolution such units are treated as individuals in population of artificial neural networks, which through environmental sensing and evolutionary algorithms learn to perform given task safely and efficiently. The main task of this project is to evolve a population of helmsmen which is able to effectively implement chosen rule: crossing or overtaking.
