Hybrid control of the ship movement
Keywords:
hybrid control, ship movement controlAbstract
The paper presents a hybrid control system for the movement of a ship in various operating modes. The developed system integrates a number of operational modes, such as: precise maneuvering the ship at low speeds, steering the ship at different speeds on the course or along the trajectory, and stopping the ship on the route. The implementation of these modes requires the use of five controls, which have been collected in the set of alternative continuous controllers. The choice of the appropriate control is made depending on the type of the operation performed by the ship. The ship motion along a specified route of crossing in different operating modes is controlled using a method of supervisory switching control. The set ship trajectory consists of straight sections connecting consecutive points of the passage route, complemented by speed setpoints and operating modes of the controller on these sections. The developed control system was tested on the training ship Blue Lady, used to train captains in the Ship Handling Research and Training Center located on the lake Silm in Ilawa-Kamionka, Poland. The conducted tests have proved good quality of the designed hybrid control system.References
