A new identification technique of ship's dynamics for integrated navigational systems is
proposed. It is derived from motion equations analysis. The major attraction is differentiation …

An approach to identifying the parameters of the motion model for a surface ship subject to
external disturbances is proposed. It uses the measurements of heading, yaw rate, speed …

An autonomous ship seems to be increasingly accepted by the maritime community due to
its flexibility and economic reason. The ship motion model is needed to design the controller …

A METHOD FOR OFFLINE IDENTIFICATION OF SHIP MANOEUVRING
CHARACTERISTICS FROM KINEMATICAL RECORDS OBTAINED WITH FULL-SCALE …

Online identification modeling can lay the model foundation for ship motion control. Given
that the parameters of the ship motion model cannot be accurately determined, online …

By using relatively exact DGPS and INS navigation sensors, precise position data in
submeter range can be reached even in real time. It turned out that even systems like …

Abstract System identification provides an effective way to predict the ship manoeuvrability.
In this paper several measures are proposed to diminish the parameter drift in the …

Based on the ε-support vector regression, three modelling methods for the ship
manoeuvring motion, ie, the white-box modelling, the grey-box modelling and the black-box …

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 …

Flanders Hydraulics and the Maritime Technology Division of Ghent University have
proposed a hybrid testing platform for the development and validation of motion control …
