What challenge/problem are you trying to solve through your application:
For the track-keeping problem, the maneuver of way-point turning and ship guiding through a complex path
(trajectory) are presented. The influence of sea current and wave disturbances on track-keeping creates problem.
How does your application solves the above mentioned challenge/problem:
An improved strategy for an intelligent control method is developed using PID autopilot so as to measure the angle between source and destination(bearing angle), according to which the ship tracks the path based on the current location of the ship. The influence of various factors, like wave disturbances, winds, currents on track keeping was taken into consideration. The analytical part of the system is based on the comparison between angle of source and that of the current location of the ship. The results of the simulation experiments, providing a valid proof to the whole research, are mathematically better than the traditional method of Ship control system.
Description of Project:
This project contains mainly two mode of operations, one is automatic and second is manual. In the automatic mode, we are using PID controller, firstly we are calculating bearing angle from longitude and latitudes of source and destination. This baring angle becomes our setpoint and was given to PID controller. The output of PID was given to the servo motor which provides the heading angle to ship same as our setpoint. Now the feed back mechanism was introduced by using gps and compass which provides bearing angle of current location, this bearing angle is said to be process value. By comparing setpoint and process value we can evaluate error. Our controller works on that error which will be vanished further. In this manner our ship will keep its track. In the manual mode, operator can control the ship by manipulating the bearing angle manually.
There ane many sensors like gyro sensor, ultrasonic sensor, temperature sensor, shock sensor which makes our ship more stable under the influence of various factors, like wave disturbances, winds, currents.
There are pumps which are controlled by gyro sensor under the bad weather.
