Research on the Testing Device and Method of Ship’s Automatic Berthing and Unberthing

Abstract

This research analyzes the test device and test method of the ship's automatic berthing and unberthing test, and creates an automatic berthing and unberthing test device. The device includes a test working condition setting module, a shore-based data communication module, a test data recording module, and a shipboard data communication module. The automatic berthing and unberthing test device can generate the traffic environment perception information of the area where the berth to be tested is located, and interact with the real ship berthing and unberthing system to obtain the berthing and unberthing commands. According to different test scenarios, this research is divided into testing and comparison of unberthing and berthing operations. The created test method can reduce the risk of actual ship testing, improve the safety of automatic berthing and unberthing.At the same time, it can completely realize the whole ship test process of berthing and unberthing functions.
