This paper is concerned with the design of automatic ship maneuvering system including automatic path tracking controller and automatic berthing controller. The optimal control technique is employed to design the automatic path tracking controller, which is based on the linearized equations of ship motion. The numerical example shows that the automatic path tracking controller is capable of tracking the line between way points which are determined by pilot a priori. The decentralized control technique is employed to design the automatic berthing controller. In addition to the automatic path tracking controller, the fuzzy logic controller is used to control the forward speed. The numerical example shows that the automatic berthing controller can be successfully implemented.

In this paper, an automatic route tracking algorithm using the position variables and the yaw angle of a ship is suggested, Since most autopilot systems paly only a role of course-keeping by integrating the gyrocompass output, they cannot cope with position errors between the desired route and real route of the ship resulted from a drifting and disturbances such as wave, wind and currents during navigation. In order for autopilot systems to track the desired route, a method which can reduce such position errors is required and some algorithms have been proposed[1,2]While such were turned out effective methods, they have a shortage that the rudder control actions for reducing the position errors are occurred very frequently. In order to improve this problem it is necessary to convert that error into the corresponding yaw angle and necessary to treat only yaw angle control problem. To do this a command generation algorithm which converts the rudder angle command reducing the current position error into they yaw angle command is suggested. To control the ship under disturbances and nonlinearities of the ship dynamics, the adaptive fuzzy controller is developed. Finally, through computer simulations for two ship models, the effectiveness of the suggested method and the possibility of the automatic route tracking are assured.

선박 운항 자동화 시스템은 선내 노동력 감소, 작업 환경 개선, 운항 안전성 확보 및 운항 능률의 향상을 목표로 하며, 궁극적으로는 운항 경제성확보를 위한 승선 인원의 최소화에 그 목적이 있다. 최근에는 적응 제어방법 등을 응용하여 선박의 비선형성을 보상하여 선박의 회두각 유지제어(Course Keeping Control), 항로 추적제어(Track Keeping Control), 롤-타각제어(Roll-Rudder Stabilization), 선박 위치제어(Dynamic Ship Positioning), 선박자동 접이안(Automatic Mooring Control) 등에 관한 연구를 수행하고 있으며 실제의 선박으로 대상으로 응용연구가 진행 중이다. 선박은 Steering Machine에 의해 조정되는 Rudder angle과 선박의 회두각의 관계는 비선형적이며, 선박의 Load Condition은 선박의 Parameter에 영향을 주는 비선형적인 요소로서 작용한다. 또한 외란요소인 파도의 유속(流速)과 방향, 풍속과 풍량 등이 비선형적인 형태로 작용하므로 선박의 운항을 힘들게 하는 요인이 된다. 따라서 선박의 운항시스템에는 비선형성을 극복할 수 있는 강인한 제어 알고리즘을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지 알고리즘을 이용하여 선박의 비선형적인 요인 및 외란을 극복할 수 있는 선박의 자율운항 시스템을 설계하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 결과를 살펴보았다.

UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)에 위치 추적 및 비행 데이터에 의한 항로추정기법에 대한 연구 중 비행영상과 데이터를 무지향성안테나와 지향성안테나 두 가지로 수신을 받았다. 그러나 국내 전파법상 제한된 출력 때문에 송수신 거리의 영향을 받아 지향성안테나를 사용할 수밖에 없었다. 지향성안테나의 단점은 전 범위가 아니라 일정범위에서만 송수신이 가능하다. 본 논문은 지향성안테나의 단점인 일정범위가 아닌 안테나를 움직임으로써 전범위에서 송수신이 가능하도록 하는 안테나 방향 제어를 연구한 내용과 움직이는 물체로부터 좌표데이타, 고도, 삼축가속도 센서를 수신하여, 이 데이터로 적용하여 자세 및 이동경로를 산출하여 안테나가 최적의 움직임을 가질 수 있도록 연구한 내용을 기술하였다.

This paper developed the algorithm for improving the performance the auto pilot in the autonomous vehicle system consisting of the Track keeping control, the Automatic steering, and the Automatic mooring control. The automatic steering is the control device that could save the voyage distance and cost of fuel by reducing the unnecessary burden of driving due to the continuous artificial navigation, and avoiding the route deviation. During the step of the ship autonomic navigation control, since the wind power or the tidal force could make the ship deviate from the fixed course, the automatic steering calculates the difference between actual sailing line and the set course to keep the ship sailing in the vicinity of intended course. first, we could get the transfer function for the modeling of ship according to the Nomoto model. Considering the maneuverability, we propose it as linear model with only 4 degree of freedoms to present the heading angle response to the input of rudder angle. In this paper, the model of ship is derived from the simplified Nomoto model. Since the proposed model considers the maximum angle and rudder rate of the ship auto pilot and also designs the Fuzzy controller based on existing PID controller, the performance of the steering machine is well improved.

Maritime back-up navigation system in port approach requires a horizontal accuracy of 10 meters in IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) recommendations. eLoran which is a best back-up navigation system that satisfies accuracy requirement has poor navigation performance depending signal environments. Especially, noise caused by multipath and electronic devices around eLoran antenna affects navigation performance. In this paper, Ship based Navigation Back-up system using UAV on Interference is designed to satisfy horizontal accuracy requirement. To improve the eLoran signal environment, UAVs are equipped with camera, IMU sensor and eLoran antenna and receivers. This proposed system is designed to receive eLoran signal through UAV-based receiver and control UAV's position and attitude within Landmark around area. The ship-based positioning using eLoran signal, vision and attitude information received from UAV satisfy resilient and robust navigation requirements.
