基于自动控制的两船并行航行自航模型测试平台

Platform of Self-Propulsion Model Test for Two-Ship Lateral Replenishment Based on Automatic Control

针对海上两船并行航行的自动航行控制模型试验需求,专门研制了基于六自由度光学系统的基于自动控制的模型测试平台。文章阐述了该测试平台的组成、功能和使用方法,并分析其相比于传统测试设备的特色和优势。利用该测试平台在中国船舶及海洋工程设计研究院(MARIC)大型拖曳水池中开展了两船并行航行模型试验,验证该测试平台的有效性。该项研究为自动航行控制技术在海上两船并行航行中的应用奠定了扎实的基础,并为此类先进测试平台的研发提供参考。

The automatic control model test platform based on 6-DoF optical system has been developed according to the model test demands for the automatic control of the two-ship lateral replenishment at sea.This article elaborates the composition,function and usage of this test platform,analyzes the characteristics and advantages of the platform compared with those of the conventional ones.The test platform is used to perform the two-ship lateral replenishment model tests in a large towing tank for the validation of the test platform.The current research lays a solid foundation for the application of the automatic control technology in the two-ship lateral replenishment at sea.It can also provide reference for the research and development of such advanced test platforms.
