| Abstract | Fast time simulations are an efficient method to assess and analyze ship manoeuvring behaviour in confined water. The track-controller plays an important role in controlling the ship trajectory in these fast time simulations. In order to improve track-controller accuracy and adaptability in different nautical environments, different intelligent control strategies are considered to be used in the simulation. The principle and characteristics of the track-controller as used at Flanders Hydraulics Research (FHR) and Ghent University are firstly described, then advanced and smart control methods depending on its characteristics are reviewed and compared. Finally, the grey relational decision-making approach is applied in selecting the proper control strategy for the track-controller. Based upon the results from comparison, the fuzzy logic control algorithm is the most suitable for track-controller designing due to its simple control structure and good adaptability. |
