PROCEDURE and apparatus for substantially kinematic control of a fartoj

摘要

The invention provides a method and device for producing substantially kinematic steering of a vessel in a yaw path having a given radius of curvature conforming with a predetermined control law. During the steady state phase of the yaw when there exist conditions for dealing with an easily controllable radius of curvature and in the vessel is steered by rudder deflection changes and by utilizing servo control methods in such a way that the radius of curvature of the vessel, which has been determined by instrument facilities aboard the vessel, follows a predetermined suitable program for the yaw curvature during the yaw.
