Resumen

Addressing the automatic berthing task for vessels, this study introduces the Flow Matching Double Section Bezier Berth Method (FM-DSB) for handling downstream and upstream berthing instructions. By considering the orientation relationship between the direction of water flow and the berth, combined with berthing modes, the algorithm determines the vessel?s entry angle into the berth and plans the berthing path using double-section Bezier curves. Effective control of vessel speed post-path determination is essential. Therefore, based on the response of vessels to propeller inputs, this study introduces the Berthing Path Velocity Matching Method (BPVM). The BPVM ensures speed matching along the berthing path through analysis of vessel acceleration and deceleration capabilities. Subsequently, simulation experiments are conducted to validate the planning algorithm for both long-distance and short-distance berthing. Furthermore, the feasibility and effectiveness of the berthing path are verified using a dual-loop path tracker based on the planned results. Experimental outcomes illustrate the adaptability of the proposed algorithm in planning berthing paths that align with vessel motion characteristics, effectively guiding vessels into berths through the designed dual-loop control system.
