FIG. 3 is an exemplary flow chart of a novel vessel steering control method according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the novel ship steering control method includes the following steps. In some embodiments, the novel vessel steering control method may be implemented on the novel vessel steering control system 100 or the computing device 200.
In step 310, the turning information of the rudder 410 of the ship is obtained. In some embodiments, step 310 may be performed by an information acquisition module.
When the new ship needs to turn or turn around, the operator may turn the rudder 410 to turn or turn around. In some embodiments, the information acquisition module may acquire the rotation information of the rudder 410 through a sensor 420 (e.g., a rudder angle sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with fig. 4, the sensor 420 may be on the rotational axis of the rudder 410 of the new vessel for obtaining the rotation information of the rudder 410.
In some embodiments, the rotation information may include the angle of rotation and the rate of change of angular rotation. In some embodiments, the turning angle is an angle at which an operator turns the rudder 410 when the novel ship needs to turn or turn around, wherein the turning angle of the rudder 410 is 0 ° when the novel ship does not need to turn or turn around. In some embodiments, after the operator turns the rudder 410, the information obtaining module may use the fixed angle of the rudder 410 as the turning angle, for example, after the operator turns the rudder 410 to 60 ° and stabilizes the rudder 410 (for example, the rudder 410 does not change the angle within 2 seconds), the information obtaining module uses 60 ° as the turning angle. Also for example, after the operator turns the rudder 410 to 60 ° and then turns the rudder 410 to 30 ° to stabilize the rudder 410, the information acquisition module takes 30 ° as the steering angle. In some embodiments, the rate of change of angular rotation may be used to characterize the speed at which the operator turns the rudder 410 to a turning angle. In some embodiments, the information acquisition module may calculate the rate of change of angular rotation based on the following formula:
Figure GDA0003510700050000091
where a is the rotation angle and t is the time for the rudder 410 to rotate to the rotation angle.
And step 320, generating differential information based on the rotation information, the speed information before steering, the hull information and the environment information, and controlling a power device of the ship to steer the ship based on the differential information. In some embodiments, step 320 may be performed by the steering control module.
In some embodiments, the power plant of the marine vessel comprises a plurality of electrically propelled propellers, which may be mounted at different locations of the novel marine vessel. In some embodiments, the electrically propelled propeller may include a motor and a propeller, and the motor may be used to drive the propeller to rotate. For example, two electric propulsion propellers are respectively installed on both sides of the new ship.
In some embodiments, the pre-steering cruise information may be the cruise of the new vessel before the operator turns the rudder 410. In some embodiments, the steering control module may obtain the forward-steering cruise information from an external data source, such as an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS).
In some embodiments, the hull information may include a length of the vessel and a width of the vessel. In some embodiments, the steering control module may obtain the hull information from the user terminal 130, the storage device 140, or an external data source.
In some embodiments, the environmental information may include obstacle information, water flow rate information, and wind speed information for the water area where the new vessel is currently located. In some embodiments, the steering control module may obtain the environmental information from the user terminal 130, the storage device 140, or an external data source.
In some embodiments, the differential information may include a rotational speed of each electrically propelled bolt propeller at a plurality of turning time points. In some embodiments, the steering process may consist of multiple steering time points. In some embodiments, when the new ship needs to turn or turn around, the steering control module may determine the rotation speed of each electric propulsion propeller at a plurality of steering time points in the steering process based on the rotation information, the forward speed information, the hull information, and the environment information, and control the power device of the ship to turn based on the rotation speed of each electric propulsion propeller at the plurality of steering time points in the steering process. In some embodiments, at the turning time point, the rotating speed of each electric propulsion propeller is different, and the thrust generated by each electric propulsion propeller is different, so that the moving direction of the novel ship can be changed, and turning or turning around can be realized.
In some embodiments, the steering control module may determine a rotational speed of each of the electrically propelled propellers at a plurality of steering time points of the steering process based on the turning information, the pre-steering speed information, the hull information, and the environmental information by the first machine learning model. In some embodiments, the inputs to the first machine learning model are turning information, forward speed information, hull information and environmental information, and the output of the first machine learning model is the rotational speed of each electrically propelled propeller at a plurality of turning time points of the turning process. In some embodiments, the type of the first machine learning model includes, but is not limited to, a Neural Network (NN), a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Deep Neural Network (DNN), a Neural Network (NN), a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and the like, or any combination thereof, for example, the first machine learning model may be a model formed by a combination of a convolutional neural network and a deep neural network.
In some embodiments, the steering control module may determine a minimum steering radius based on the rotation information, the forward turning speed information, the hull information, and the environment information, and then determine a rotation speed of each electric propulsion propeller at a plurality of turning time points in a turning process based on the minimum steering radius, where the minimum steering radius is a minimum value of radii corresponding to a plurality of paths through which the novel ship may travel in order to complete turning or turn around. For example, referring to fig. 5, when the new ship needs to turn around, the new ship can turn around through one of the routes L1, L2, and L3, where the turning radius corresponding to L1 is r1, the turning radius corresponding to L2 is r2, and the turning radius corresponding to L3 is r3, and it can be understood that the turning radius corresponding to L3 is the minimum turning radius. It should be understood that like the minimum turning radius of the vehicle, which is subject to wheelbase, the minimum turning radius of the new vessel is subject to turn information, pre-turn cruise information, hull information, and environmental information.
In some embodiments, the steering control module may determine the minimum steering radius based on the rotation information, the pre-steering speed information, the hull information, and the environment information via a second machine learning model, wherein inputs to the second machine learning model are the rotation information, the pre-steering speed information, the hull information, and the environment information, and an output of the second machine learning model is the minimum steering radius. In some embodiments, the type of the second machine learning model includes, but is not limited to, a Neural Network (NN), a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Deep Neural Network (DNN), a Neural Network (NN), a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and the like, or any combination thereof, for example, the second machine learning model may be a model formed by a combination of a convolutional neural network and a deep neural network.
In some embodiments, the steering control module may determine the moving direction of the novel ship at each steering time point according to the route corresponding to the minimum steering radius, so as to determine the rotating speed of each electric propulsion propeller at the steering time point.
In some embodiments, in order to reduce the influence on the navigation of the new ship, the steering control module may first determine whether the steering information is greater than a preset angle threshold (e.g., 90 °) before controlling the power plant of the new ship to steer; if the steering information is smaller than the preset angle threshold value, the steering control module can directly control the power device of the novel ship to steer through manual control of an operator without controlling the power device of the novel ship to steer; if the steering information is larger than the preset angle threshold value, the steering control module can control a power device of the ship to complete steering based on the rotation information, the steering forward speed information, the ship body information and the environment information.
In some embodiments, in the process of controlling the power device of the novel ship to steer by the steering control module, an operator may need to adjust the steering angle, the operator may rotate the rudder 410 of the novel ship again, and the steering control module may control the power device of the ship to steer according to the rotation information of the rudder 410 of the novel ship after the rudder is rotated again.
In some embodiments, the steering control module may acquire a turning angle and a steering speed of the ship at least one steering time point; generating a steering prediction path based on the rotating speed of each electric propulsion propeller at a plurality of steering time points in the steering process, the rotating angle of the ship at least one steering time point and the steering navigational speed; and displaying the steering prediction path through a display device. In some embodiments, the display device may be an LCD display screen through which the operator may obtain the turn prediction path. In some embodiments, the steering control module may further display the turning angle and the steering speed of the ship at the at least one steering time point on the LCD display screen.
In some embodiments, after completion of the turning, the rotational speed of each electric propulsion propeller is adjusted based on the pre-turning cruise information. In some embodiments, when the rudder 410 angle of the new vessel returns (e.g., the rotation angle of the rudder 410 of the new vessel is 0 °), the steering control module may adjust the rotation speed of each electric propulsion propeller so that the running speed of the new vessel returns to the pre-steering speed. In some embodiments, after completing the turn, the turn control module may gradually adjust the rotational speed of each electrically propelled propeller such that the travel speed of the new vessel is restored to the pre-turn cruise speed, e.g., adjust the rotational speed of each electrically propelled propeller every 3 seconds such that the travel speed of the new vessel is restored to the pre-turn cruise speed.
In some embodiments, the novel ship steering control system 100 and the novel ship steering control method can control the power device of the ship to steer or turn according to the rotation information, the navigational speed information before steering, the hull information and the environmental information when the novel ship steers or turns.
In some embodiments, the novel ship steering control system 100 and the novel ship steering control method can reduce the driving complexity of the novel ship and improve the driving safety, so that the steering or turning process of the novel ship does not depend on the experience and habit of the captain.
