Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptive time optimal control algorithm for ship steering in course changes. Dynamics of the ship are presented by a third order differential equation model. The time optimal control law is obtained by applying the Successive Order Hightening Method. It is combined with a least squares type parameter estimation algorithm to obtain the adaptive time optimal controller. The proposed control scheme is evaluated by a computer simulation study.
