Abstract

Abstract: New Controllers for ships developed for their modern steering devices need new human interaction within the controller interface to make these controllers applicable. To increase their acceptance and usability especially for high precise operations like berthing, a modified path planning approach shall be introduced which originally bases on the established path planning strategy in electronic sea charts. The represented planning procedure dispense on parameter based modelling due to their obscurity while developing electronic tools and their strong variance of cargo ships. Furthermore, this paper describes the underlying data and the transfer of results from the nautical path planning to a modern controller device on the example of the MIMO controller system AdaNav, which is applicable for the complete speed range. The AdaNav controller enables DP equivalent functions for ships being able to traverse. With that approach the authors want to guarantee full responsibility of the nautical staff, the support of mates mental model connected to path planning and manoeuvring behaviour and feasibility to the executing controller.
