An Automatic Control System for Ship Harbour Manoeuvres Using Decoupling Control
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new application of the Decoupling Control to automatically control large ships in harbour areas. A multi-term non-linear mathematical model is adopted to express ships’ manoeuvring motions. The method for designing the automatic control system is briefly described. Computer simulation results for a Very Large Crude Carriage (VLCC) on a simple berthing manoeuvre are given to verify the designing method. Excellent effects of the automatic control system are proven by very good simulation results of the ship motions during 180 deg. turning manoeuvres under various strong wind conditions. Simulation results also show robustness of the automatic control system against parameters’ uncertainty.

Harbour images sequence analysis for control and monitoring
A system devoted to ship tra c control in a harbour environment is proposed, where optic ow approach and monocular image sequences are used. In each frame the scene is segmented, moving and still objects are found, and the movement of each ship is completely tracked. Partial and/or total occlusions are correctly handled by means of suitable grouping algorithms. Quantitative motion estimation is...

متن کاملControl of Hybrid Ship Drive Systems
Stricter regulations on emissions force ship owners and designers to come up with new solutions for ship propulsion systems. Hybrid drive systems consisting of prime movers and batteries, like in the Toyota Prius, show great potential, especially in special ships like harbour tugs. Economic and environmental performance of such systems strongly depends on the way it is controlled. Dynamic compu...
