천수섬에서 어선 정박을 위한 자동도선시스템에 관한 연구

Abstract

해저에 설치된 파이프에서 분출되는 기포에 의해 형성된 강한 수평압력분포를 이용하여 선박을 신속 하고 정밀하게 유도, 정박시키는 도선시스템으로 항구, 협수로, 해협 등과 같이 복잡한 수상, 수중 장애물 지역에서 선박을 신속하고 정밀하게 유도함과 동시에 협소한 부두에 안전하게 선박을 정박시키기 위하여 본 도선 시스템을 고안하였다. Generally a ship in a port or canal is guided by tugboat(s), while the ship engine(s) and steering mechanism idle. The shortcomings of this method are insufficient in course keeping ability, danger of collision with waterside structures, time-consuming preparation for tugging, as well as the need to maintain tugboats. A new technology for ship guiding, based on the physical principle of interaction of a solid body with aerated liquids has been developed [1]. Model tests were carried out for the verification of system at slow speed by engine operating conditions and with an idle steering. The developed device has been proved to keep the ship on course safely.
