Studies on Network Information Integration in IBS

Abstract

Integrated bridge experimental simulation system will be integrated physical equipment of integrated bridge system and the traditional ship handling simulation. The Integrated Bridge System (IBS) is an important composition of a ship automation system. In this project, the various sensors, all sorts of analog signal generator and a lot of navigation data information involved in integrated bridge information system are analyzed. This paper realizes that the related decoding ship motions information of the simulation system drive the related navigation equipment by using simulation signal generator and through the network transmits to executing agency such as automatic helm and manipulated institution, display device such as ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) and main controller such as three dimensional ship motion control and simulation system. Using Visual C + + 2008 development tools, the basic idea of hierarchical structure of the information processing system is presented. Using the CAN bus network achieves sharing of information between the navigation equipment and ship handling simulation. It has completed the designs of the best route and AIS structure, and navigation information fusion model. Finally, it drives a lot of equipments including GPS/GPS, AIS (Automatic Identification System), Compass, Wind speed meter to work normally. The simulation results show that this system provides a new thinking and approach to solve the sailing ship simulation.
