Description

  The present invention relates to a ship maneuvering simulator, and more particularly, to a ship maneuvering simulator system that enables training for radar maneuvering in a narrow field of view and training for human reaction.

  As a conventional ship maneuvering simulator system, each of the independent ship maneuvering simulators for the purpose of maneuvering the ship and the independent ship maneuvering simulators are organically connected via a communication line, and training that considers human reaction. There is a ship maneuvering simulator system that makes this possible.

  The conventional ship maneuvering simulators, which are independent of each other, are mainly aimed at maneuvering their own ships, and the trends of other ships are generated by a simple model based on pre-programmed courses and ship speeds. Based on this, ship training was conducted.

  However, in the actual voyage in the congested waters, the master of each ship is maneuvering with the maneuvering policy and intention, and the situation where the maneuvering of each ship interferes with each other's maneuvering frequently occurs, In conventional boat maneuvering simulators that are independent of each other, it has been impossible to train with such consideration.

  On the other hand, a ship maneuvering simulator that takes into account human reaction is an organic combination of the above-mentioned conventional independent ship maneuvering simulators via a communication line. It is constructed as a ship maneuvering simulator that takes human reaction into consideration.

  However, in the ship maneuvering simulator that takes into account the human reaction, when there is only one trainee, the system itself functions as an independent conventional ship maneuvering simulator, so only when there is one trainee. However, it does not lead to solving the above-mentioned problems of the conventional marine vessel maneuvering simulators.

  Furthermore, in each of the conventional ship maneuvering simulators that are independent of each other and the ship maneuvering simulators that take into account human reaction via a communication line, a model that reproduces a simulated bridge is the basis. It becomes large and requires huge costs to install, operate and maintain it.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems of a conventional ship maneuvering simulator, and a ship maneuvering simulation considering human reaction via a communication line. Another object of the present invention is to enable a radar maneuvering training in a narrow field of view in consideration of human reaction by adding a function corresponding to a radar ARPA. Still another object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of installation, operation, and maintenance, which is a problem in a conventional boat maneuvering simulator, by downsizing the device itself.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, the apparatus used in this system is composed of a ship maneuvering training apparatus 1A to 1N, a main computer 2, an instructor computer 3, and a communication line 4, and a plurality of ship maneuvering training apparatuses 1A to 1N and a main computer 2 , And an instructor computer 3 connected via a communication line 4.

  In FIG. 2, the marine vessel maneuvering devices 1A to 1N are composed of a marine vessel maneuvering control device 1a having a steering function, a main engine control function, and a radar operation function, a marine vessel maneuvering control computer 1b, an image display device 1c, and a line-of-sight control device 1d. The

  In the marine vessel maneuvering apparatuses 1A to 1N, operation data of the marine vessel maneuvering control device 1a operated by the trainee is input to the marine vessel maneuvering control computer 1b, and the marine vessel maneuvering control computer 1b receives the operation data via the communication line 4. To the main computer 2.

  On the other hand, the main computer 2 stores various environmental data, and calculates the ship position, ship speed, heading, etc. of each ship based on the operation data transmitted from each ship maneuvering control computer 1b. At the same time, the same calculation is performed for ships other than the ship operated by each trainee, and all calculation results are transmitted to each ship maneuvering control computer 1b and the instructor computer 3 via the communication line 4.

  Each ship maneuvering control computer 1b that has received a reply from the main computer 2 uses the ship model and terrain model databases stored in common in each ship maneuvering control computer 1b based on the calculation results. Generate a three-dimensional image. At the same time, a pseudo radar image and various instrument images are generated based on the reply data, and all these images are superimposed and transmitted to the image display device 1c as a single image to display the image.

  Further, by adding an ARPA function based on the reply data and the generated radar pseudo image, radar maneuvering training in a narrow field of view is made possible.

  On the other hand, in the instructor computer 3, not only the instruction data is transmitted to each trainee, but also the same image as each trainee is displayed on the instructor computer 3 based on the calculation result sent from the main computer 2. The ship maneuvering status of each ship can be confirmed while switching the image of each ship.

  In addition, the instructor computer 3 can generate images for ships other than the ship operated by the trainee and can also operate these ships. This solves the problem of the conventional boat maneuvering simulator system considering the human reaction that the human reaction cannot be performed when the trainee is one person.

  Also, in this system, the simulated bridge is not reproduced like the conventional ship maneuvering simulator system, and the image display devices installed in the conventional model to reproduce the field of view in various directions are used for each maneuvering training. By reconstructing it on a single device, and further building on the basis of a personal computer, the entire system is miniaturized, and the cost for installation, operation and maintenance of the system is reduced.

  The field of view is narrowed by using one image display device 1c, but this can be done freely by moving the line of sight control device 1d arranged in each of the boat training devices 1A to 1N. To solve the problem by securing a field of view of 360 degrees.

Effect of device

  According to the ship maneuvering simulator system of the present invention, not only training in consideration of human reaction is possible in normal ship maneuvering training, but also in training assuming radar maneuvering in a narrow field of view where the number of accidents is the largest. However, maneuvering training in consideration of human reaction becomes possible. Further, by reducing the size of the entire system, it is possible to significantly reduce the cost for installation, operation and maintenance of the system.
