Development of Simple Dynamic Positioning System: Algorithm and User Interface

摘要

We propose new concept of simple DP system. Minimum data input from sensors are used for control the ship position and heading. Only GPS position (latitude and Longitude) and Gyro compass heading data are necessary. The prediction of the position and heading realized by means of simple extrapolation using recorded data are used for calculation. Therefore, no complex ship motion analysis is necessary in the system, it has features that it is easy to process and easy to implement. Proposed DP system have been installed on board Training Ship FUKAE MARU of Kobe University. Outline of proposed dynamic positioning system and its user interface on the navigation system, and the results of experiment in actual mission of the real ship are shown in this paper.
