Research hotspots and tendency of intelligent ship berthing technology

Abstract

This paper reviews the research status of intelligent ship berthing technology at home and abroad in recent years. The hotspots and applications of berthing technology are summarized in the three aspects of berthing mode, mathematical model and control algorithm. The remaining problems in this field are analyzed in terms of autonomy, modeling accuracy, path planning, control algorithm, energy-saving effect and system test. Based on actual navigation needs, it is proposed that the next step is to make breakthroughs in core theories and key technical problems such as information fusion, online modeling, intelligent decision-making, optimization algorithms, green energy conservation and testing technology. The autonomy, robustness, rapidity and "toughness" of berthing technology should be improved so as to realize safe, green and efficient intelligent shipping.
