Sensitivity analysis is applied to ship manoeuvring mathematical models as a means of dealing with model uncertainties, and often leads to model simplifications. A rather standard 3DOF manoeuvring model was tuned with the available results of full-scale ...

A data-driven method, the truncated LS-SVM, is proposed for estimating the nondimensional hydrodynamic coefficients of a nonlinear manoeuvring model. Experimental data collected in a shallow water towing tank are utilized in this study. To assess the acc...

IMO presented the standard for ship?s manoeuvrability which every ship is recommended to satisfy. Although it specifies a full load and even keel condition as the condition at which the standard applies, practically, ships are operated under various load...

During the early design stage of an underwater vehicle, the correct assessment of its manoeuvrability is a crucial task. Conducting experimental tests still has high costs, especially when dealing with small vehicles characterized by low available budget...

On the basis of a full-appendage DARPA SUBOFF model (DTRC model 5470), a scale (? = 0.535) semi-autonomous submarine free-running model (SFRM) was designed for testing its manoeuvrability and stability in the constrained water. Prior to the experimental ...

A modified path-following control system using the vector field method for an underactuated autonomous surface ship model is proposed in the presence of static obstacles. With this integrated system, autonomous ships are capable of following the predefin...
