This study examined a PD controller and its application to automatic berthing control of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). First, a nonlinear mathematical model was established for the maneuvering of the USV in the presence of environmental forces. A PD control algorithm was then applied to control the rudder and propeller during an automatic berthing process. The algorithm consisted of two parts, namely the forward velocity control and heading angle control. The control algorithm was designed based on longitudinal and yaw dynamic models of the USV. The desired heading angle was obtained using the "line of sight" method. Finally, computer simulations of automatic USV berthing were performed to verify the proposed controller subjected to the influence of disturbance forces. The results of the simulation revealed a good performance of the developed berthing control system.

자율운항선박이 부두 근처에 도착하여 예선이나 도선사의 도움 없이 선박을 자동으로 접·이안하기 위해서는 부두를 인식하고 주어진 외력 조건에서 부두까지 정해진 접안속도로 접안하기 위한 스러스터 출력과 출력각을 산정해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선박이 접안 중에 작용하는 외력과 모멘트를 분석하고 자동접안을 위한 스러스터의 출력 계산과 자동접안 프로그램 개발을 위한 기본개념을 설계하였다. 선박이 접안 중 바람에 의해 선체에 작용하는 풍압력은 풍압면적을 기초로 선형과 풍향각에 따라 계산하였으며, 선체에 작용하는 유압력은 조류에 의한 유압력과 접안속도에 따른 유압력을 분리하여 계산하였다. 그리고 선박의 횡방향 힘에 따라 선박을 회전시키는 회두모멘트를 계산하였다. 접안 중 선박에 작용하는 힘과 회두모멘트를 고려하여 부두와 평행하게 접안하기 위한 스러스터 출력과 출력각을 계산할 수 있는 이론식을 제시하고 다른 변수들로 인한 회두를 PID 제어기로 제어하였다. 또한, 이론식에 필요한 입력요소를 분석하여 프로그램 개발을 위한 기본개념을 제시하였다.

As the growth of world trade has surged rapidly over the past years, the number is expected to continue growing over the coming years. Although the transportation costs can be reduced by using larger vessels, however, new berthing structures have to be constructed in order to cater for the larger vessels. This leads to a need for researching on designing a better berthing structure. For optimization of berthing structure design, we need to provide a better estimation of berthing energy than the previous methods in the existing guidelines. In this study, several berthing parameters were collected from previous works and researches. Moreover, the scenarios were selected efficiently by using a sampling technique. First, the berthing energy was calculated by executing 150 numerical simulations. Then, the numerical simulation results were compared with the results calculated by existing methods quantitatively to investigate the sensitivity of the berthing parameters and the accuracy of existing methods. The numerical method results have shown some deviation with respect to the existing method results in which the degree of deviation varies with the methods and the tendency of differences is dependent on certain berthing parameters. Then, one of the existing methods which has shown a small deviation was selected as a representative method and applied with several safety factors to obtain a suitable safety factor for the design.

Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)'s berthing and unberthing is the most difficult maneuvering tasks and have the highest risk of accidents. In this paper, we designed a berthing/unberthing control algorithm given human joystick command for an USV equipped with a waterjet and a bow thruster. The berthing and unberthing maneuvers are performed remotely by a joystick operator at the Ground Control Center (GCC) where the status of USV and environmental situation can be monitored. We interpret the human joystick commands into USV's desired speed, yaw rate, and heading angle commands. next, we developed a control algorithm for the desired target values of MIMO actuators (engine speed, bucket step, nozzle angle, and bow thruster state) to follow the interpreted commands. The validity of the control algorithm is confirmed through simulations and sea trials at Gwang Am port.

This study develops an automatic berthing control algorithm for ships with a bow thruster and a stern thruster as well as a rudder. A nonlinear mathematical model for low speed maneuvering of ships is used to develop a MIMO(multi-input multi-output) nonlinear control algorithm. The algorithm consists of two parts, which are forward velocity control and heading angle control. The control algorithm is designed based on the longitudinal and yaw dynamic models of ships. The desired heading angle is obtained by the so called "Line of Sight" method. An optimal control force allocation method of the rudder and the thrusters is suggested. The nonlinear control algorithms are tested by numerical simulations using MATLAB, and shows good tracking performances.

This paper addresses the trajectory tracking problem for ship berthing using sliding mode technique. With significant potential advantages: insensitivity to plant nonlinearities, parameter variations, remarkable stability and performance robustness with environmental disturbances, the multivariable sliding modes controller is proposed for solving trajectory tracking of ship in harbor area. In this study, the ship position and heading angle are simultaneously tracked to guarantees that the ship follows a given path (geometric task) with desired velocities (dynamic task). The stability of the proposed control law is proved based on Lyapunov theory. The proposed approach has been simulated on a computer model of a supply vessel with good results.

최근 국제 무역량의 증가에 따라 항만 시스템의 안전하고 효과적인 운용이 중요한 과제로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 배경에서 선박의 접안과정에 대한 시간변위 자동 시뮬레이션 프로그램의 개발이 진행되어 왔고 선박의 속도와 방향 제어를 위해 PD (Proportional Derivative) 제어기가 이용되었다. 이번 연구는 선박 접안과정의 시간 변위 시뮬레이션 프로그램 개발 중 서로 다른 수학적 모델, 즉 선박의 전진속도가 저속일 경우를 위한 Kose (1984)의 모델과 일반적인 전진속도일 경우를 위한 MMG 모델을 이용하여 초기 선수 방향과 선박 위치의 다양한 변화를 적용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 각 방정식의 장점 및 단점을 분석하며 시뮬레이션 구현의 타당성을 검토한다.

최근 선박의 대형화와 전용화가 현저하게 진행됨에 따라 갑판 상부의 구조물이 비교적 큰 컨테이너선, LNG 운반선, 자동차운반선, 여객선 등이 출현하여 운항되고 있다. 이러한 선박들이 부두에서 접 이안 또는 항내에서 저속으로 운항할 경우 바람, 조류 등과 같은 외력의 영향을 받기 쉬우며, 외력이 과도할 경우에는 압류나 회두 현상으로 인해 선박 운항에 지장을 초래할 수 있으므로 특정 외력 하에서의 선체 거동에 대한 분석은 선박의 안전운항에 있어서 매우 중요한 자료라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 수면 상부의 구조물이 상대적으로 큰 실습선 한나라호를 대상으로 정상풍 하에서의 선체에 작용하는 풍압력 및 풍압모우멘트 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 정상풍 하의 선박 운항에 있어 주요한 정보인 표류각과 대응 타각을 상대 풍향과 풍속을 기초로 산출하였고, 풍속 선속비에 따른 조종 한계 풍속, 선속별 풍향에 따른 조종 한계 풍속, 최대 풍압력에 의한 횡경사각 등을 정량적으로 산출하여 제시하였다. 이러한 자료는 한나라호의 입출항 조종 및 태풍 피항을 위한 운항 현장에서 직접 활용될 수 있고, 실선에서 해당 결과를 비교 평가할 수 있으므로 향후 이론식에 대한 수정 및 보완과 함께 교육 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In accordance with the development plans of Ulsan harbor, Ulsan new harbor will be contructed considering supporting Ulsan harbor as a safe berthing and departure at single buoy mooring(SBM). In this study, we used a full-mission ship handling simulator adopting 300,000 DWT VLCC manoeuvered at the planned Ulsan SBM. Five masters who have had a long experience of ship maneuvering were called to carry out the simulations, of which each scenario were tried one, completed total of 68 times. The marine traffic safety was assessed in terms of 1) the closest point of approach(CPA) to other SBM and breakwater in the vicinity and the probability of crossing the restricted area of the closest SBM and fairway limit, 2) subjective evaluation such as the mental burden and the maneuvering difficulty of shiphanders, and 3) the opinions of shiphandlers. From the result of this simulation, we have a conclusion as follows; First, because crude oil berthing angle is so small by current S-OiL Co. crude oil buoy by SK Co. No 3 crude oil buoy different view SK Co. No 3 crude oil buoy and interference of current KNOC crude oil buoy, Berthing is impossible, and Emergency departing is very dangerous too operation impossible. Second it is desirable that SK Co. No 2 and No 3 Single buoy Mooring that do different view controls position so that to be not put in straight line each other. Third, SK Co. No 1 and 2 single buoy mooring that do different view to Onsanhang berthing and departing is seized by single buoy mooring by external force ship that set sail does faith control need.
