  • Recent Technological Advances in the Control and Guidance of Ships

  • N. A. J. Witt, R. Sutton, K. M. Miller
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    21 October 2009, pp. 236-258

  • Over the past seventy years many advances have been made in the field of ship control. Early developments by Sperry and Minorsky on proportional controllers have led to today's modern control systems which have interfacing capabilities with position fixing equipment.

    This paper presents a brief historical summary of the methods employed in ship control from early proportional devices through the range of adaptive systems and concludes with details of a possible future control method known as intelligent control.

    Intelligent control consists of three methodologies: expert, fuzzy and neural. An investigation and comparison of the methodologies will present possible future control strategies.

  • The Timing of Collision Avoidance Manoeuvres: Descriptive Mathematical Models

  • M. K. James
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    21 October 2009, pp. 259-272

  • This paper examines the frequency distributions of the ranges at which vessels take action to avoid collision. Published data from simulator exercises are employed. Both give-way and stand-on vessels are considered. Lognormal distributions fitted to the data are shown to be superior to those previously published. Underlying ‘causal’ models are developed which are capable of generating the observed distributions.
