Abstract
Under the guidance of industry 4.0, peoples pay more attention to the intelligent equipment and system. Intelligent vessel without crew on board has acquired growing attention worldwide over the years. The navigation condition of intelligent vessel without crew at sea should be monitored and controlled by the shore-based intelligent vessel support system. The navigation-related data collected by the multi-source navigation sensors should be presented on the shore-based support system in an efficient and friendly way. This article presents a simulation model for multi-source navigation sensors such as echo sounder and electronic position-fixing system. Furthermore, this work proposes an efficient architecture for the shore-based support system by way of multi-source navigation sensors simulation. The results show that the simulation model of multi-source navigation sensors is efficient for the simulation of echo sounder and electronic position-fixing system. The shore-based intelligent vessel support system based on multi-source navigation sensors simulation can present navigation-related data and monitor the condition of intelligent vessel at sea.

Summary
The project of industry 4.01 is put forward by German government at Hannover Messe in April 2013. The project of industry 4.0 aims to create a production mode and factory which supply a very flexible, individual and digital product and service. At the 99th meeting of the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), International Maritime Organization (IMO) formally announced that it would study and formulate relevant conventions and regulations to solve a series of problems such as safety, security, and environmental protection of the Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) It means that research on the intelligent vessel is speeding up beyond expectations. The essential contribution of this article is that an efficient shore-based intelligent vessel support system is proposed and constructed by way of multi-source navigation sensors simulation. This work proposes an efficient architecture for the shore-based intelligent vessel support system by way of multi-source navigation sensors simulation. The structure of this article is organized as follows: section ‘‘Related work’’ provides a literature review on the intelligent vessel and the multi-source navigation sensors simulation; section ‘‘Methodology’’ describes the problem statement and mathematic model for multi-source navigation sensors simulation; section ‘‘Result analysis and discussion’’ presents the simulation results of multi-source navigation sensors and the efficient architecture for the shore-based intelligent vessel support system; and section ‘‘Conclusion and future work’’ provides the conclusion and direction for future research
