This paper presents an improved adaptive neural network autopilot based on our previous study for track-keeping control of ships. The proposed optimal neural network controller can automatically adapt its learning rate and number of iterations. Firstly, the track-keeping control system of ships is described For the track-keeping control task, a way-point based guidance system is applied To improve the track-keeping ability, the off-track distance caused by external disturbances is considered in learning process of neural network controller. The simulations of track-keeping performance are presented under the influence of sea current and wind as well as measurement noise. The toolbox for track-keeping simulation on Mercator chart is also introduced.

In Part I(theoretical study) of the paper, a new adaptive autopilot for ships based on Adaptive Neural Networks was proposed. The ANNAI autopilot was designed for course-keeping, turning and track-keeping control for ships. In this part of the paper, to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the ANNAI autopilot and automatic selection algorithm for learning rate and number of iterations, computer simulations of course-keeping and track-keeping tasks with and without the effects of measurement noise and external disturbances are presented. Additionally, the results of the previous studies using Adaptive Neural Network by backpropagation algorithm are also showed for comparison.

This paper presents a new adaptive autopilot for ships based on the Adaptive Neural Networks. The proposed adaptive autopilot is designed with some modifications and improvements from the previous studies on Adaptive Neural Networks by Adaptive Interaction (ANNAI) theory to perform course-keeping, turning and track-keeping control. A strategy for automatic selection c! the neural network controller parameters is introduced to improve the adaptation ability and the robustness of new ANNAI autopilot. In Part II of the paper, to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed ANNAI autopilot, computer simulations of course-keeping and track-keeping tasks with and without the effects of measurement noise and external disturbances are presented.

This paper presents a synthetic control algorithm that generates the rudder command angle to track the optimal route which is composed of straight-lines among way-points with keeping a required error limit. The control algorithm comprises three main lgorithms that is a course-keeping algorithm that eliminates the yaw angle difference between optimal route and current route a track-keeping algorithm that tracks the optimal route among way-points and a turning-control algorithm that includes the generation of optimal turning routes and control method. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm is assured through computer simulation.

본 연구는 외란하에서 선박 트랙 키핑에 대한 수치시뮬레이션 문제를 다루었다. 이용된 선박 모델은 새누리호 선박을 이용하여, 목포항 입구부터, 목표 부두까지 항로에서의 항로 추종를 자동제어 기법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 수행하였다. 기존 과거 연구의 선박 트랙 키핑 문제는 주로 정속에서 수행되었으나, 본 연구에서 부두에 접안하기 전 단계까지를 감안하여, 선박 속도를 저하시키며, 접안 하기 직전 선박이 목표 지점에 도달하여 정지할 때까지의 트랙 키핑 문제를 다루었다. 사용 제어 기법은 PID기법, 외란으로 바람 영향을 고려한 트랙키핑 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 그 결과 접안 직전 지점까지 적정하게 속도를 저하시키며, 원하는 항로를 따라 자동 제어 됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 미리 지정된 항로를 따라 항해하기 위한 선박의 Track-keeping에 대한 기초 실험 연구 분석결과를 제시하였다. 항로상에 위치한 여러 가지 변침점을 설정하고, 해당 선박이 그 항로를 항해하도록 알고리즘을 구성, 모형선을 이용한 실험 결과를 보여주었다. 지정된 구역에서 GPS로 변침점을 설정하고, 그 포인트를 Data화하여, 미리 프로그램된 알고리즘에 입력하면 해당 선박이 자동으로 항로를 항해하도록 설계되었다. PD 제어를 이용하여 침로 유지 알고리즘을 구성하였고, 선박 자동 Track-keeping 결과는 모니터링 가능토록 하였고, 변수를 설정 변경하도록 설계되었다. 제시된 알고리즘은 실험을 통하여 그 알고리즘의 효용성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 실선의 항해 자동화 및 충돌회피, 자동접안 등의 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the Track Control System which was separated from the Course Control System so-called Auto-Pilot has been developed for track-keeping in coastal area. From this year, the NAV Sub-committee in IMO commenced to consider the Performance Standard for the Track Control System vigorously. This system will be integrated with ECDIS and IBS so that captain/officers should analysis ship's motion characteristics accurately in the route planning using the electronic nautical charts. In this paper, a new Route Analysis Algorithm using fuzzy reasoning in route planning was proposed for 2, 700 TEU container ship. In order to verify the track-keeping, the author established a ship mathematical model and executed the simulation of the Route Analysis Algorithm at on-line condition with Pentium PC. The results of ship trajectories of the Route Analysis Algorithm were found to be effective to get track control automatically.

A fuzzy logic for collision avoiding navigation of marine vehicles is proposed in this paper. VFF(Virtual Force Field) method, which is used widely in the field of mobile robots, is modifiel to apply to marine vehicles. The method is named MVFF (Modified Virtual Force Field) mothod. The MVFF consists of the determination of the heading angles far track-keeping mode ($\psi_{ca}$)and collision avoidance mode ($\psi_{ca}$). The operator can choose the pattern of the track-keeping mode in the proposed algorithm. The collision avoidance algorithm can handle static and/or moving obstacles. These functons are implemented using fuzzy logic. Various simulation results verify the proposed alogorithm.
