Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a practical path following controller and examine its control effects for large-sized ships in shallow water. First, a new controller is designed and implemented in a ship manoeuvring simulator, and the controller’s tracking capacity is evaluated via controlling a 6 DOF math model following a prescribed path at various speeds and water depths. Then, towing tank tests are conducted with the corresponding physical model to validate the simulation results. Based on experimental results, comparisons are executed between the proposed controller and the traditional controllers (e.g. fuzzy controller). Finally, the applicability of the controller is investigated through simulations of the ship transiting the Panama Canal, meanwhile, the bank effects on the controller’s performance are discussed. The results show that the designed controller offers satisfactory tracking performance. Simulation results match well with the experimental results despite slight discrepancies. Additionally, satisfactory path following performance is obtained by the simulations in the canal. To conclude, the proposed controller is able to fulfill path following missions in shallow water with high precision and can be applied in the manoeuvring simulator.
