A study on the Improvement of control performance of Auto Steering System

자동조타기의 제어성능개선에 관한 연구

Auto Steering System is the device for course keeping or course altering to ship's steering system. The Purpose of automatic steering system is to keep the ship's course stable with the minimum course and rudder angle. Recently, modern control theories are being used widely in analyzing and designing the ship system. Though P.D type auto pilots are widely used in ships, the stability and the adjusting methods are not clarified. In this paper the authors proposed auto steering system with Fuzzy Logic Controller. In the fuzzy control the things that the actual operators of a steering wheel has acquired through their experience can be logically described by the Lingustic Control Rule. The characteristic of the control system were investigated through the computer simulation results. it was found that the fuzzy logic control was more efficient than the conventional system.
