Towards Intelligent Ships in Marine Training Simulators

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  21 October 2009

Abstract

An application of the model to manoeuvre ships based on the range to domain over range rate (RDRR) concept is described. A simulation of a training simulator has been set up on which the target ships manoeuvre by the RDRR model in response to mariner controlled ships. Results of experiments show that the RDRR model manoeuvres targets realistically. The applications are reduced instructor work load and increased simulator reality. The method has the potential for development to manoeuvre ships at sea.
