Statement of the Problem of Control of an Autonomous Surface Vessel for Inland Waterways
https://doi.org/10.30932/1992-3252-2023-21-3-2
Abstract
Development of autonomous (uncrewed) surface vessels for commercial, industrial, and auxiliary fleet is currently one of the most rapidly advancing transport technologies. The key issue of its implementation is creation of an integrated control system (ICS) of safe navigation of uncrewed surface vehicles (USV) in automatic mode along the route. Then, it is necessary to keep in mind the features of maritime navigation and inland navigation.
A performed analytical review of basic heading and speed control algorithms allowed revealing the main problems referring to development of an integrated control system for an USV. The statement of the control problem is followed by enlisting directions for further research.
