Dredge Track Presentation System (DTPS)

摘要

Due the high demand for an optimal presentation of the working position of dredges on the hydrographic chart, a new innovative hydrographic multi language Dredge Track Presentation System is developed. This DTPS package (Windows NT/C~(++)) is especially developed for Hopper-Cutter-Excavator-Clamshell-and Bucketline-dredges. The DTPS System enables amongst others the dredge operator to see on-line, with the highest possible accuracy, the dredging tool (cutter wheel, dredge head, clamshell, bucket, etc) in the profile and the actual updates from the dredge on the bathymetric electronic chart in absolute position. The DTPS can operate as stand-alone system or in an integrated network. With a telemetry link, DTPS can also be connected to contractor shore office for on-line views, datalogging and replay functions. Special attention is given to interface with other dredge related systems such as Suction Tube Position Monitoring (STPM), Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS) and Dynamic Positioning and Dynamic Tracking systems (DP/DT). The DTPS system is developed by IHC Systems in-house in close co-operation with DEME's survey department. After an intense test period on the DEME dredging fleet, the system is operational on different types of dredges world-wide.
