Reliability of Maritime Collision Avoidance Systems algorithms in the implementation of COLREGs: the Systematic Literature Review

This registration corresponds to a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) conducted as a preliminary step within a broader research study. The sole purpose of this SLR is to systematically identify and retrieve high-quality and relevant academic publications related to Maritime Collision Prevention Systems (MCPS) that try to implement COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea). The aim is not to perform a comprehensive review or meta-analysis of the findings presented in these studies, but rather to apply the structured and transparent methodology of an SLR to ensure a rigorous and unbiased selection of sources for subsequent analysis. All methodological details, including search strategies, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and data management procedures, are documented in this registration to ensure transparency and reproducibility.
