COLREGs Encounter Classifier
Classify head-on, crossing, or overtaking geometry from bearing/course data.
COLREGs Encounter Classifier provides quick geometric classification of vessel encounters as head-on, crossing, overtaking, or uncertain from course and relative-bearing inputs. It is useful for bridge-team drills and scenario discussions when practicing collision-avoidance recognition. Output guidance is advisory and intentionally conservative. Use it as a training aid only and apply full COLREGs judgment, lookout, and local rules in live navigation.
