FUNDAMENTALS


Todays Predictors - Extrapolating

PREDICTORS

To assist the sailors in understanding and anticipating the ship’s motion we have been using ”predictors” for a long time.

• A predictor is basically an extrapolating tool using:

• GPS data

• Speed log data

• Gyro heading data, including Rate of Turn

• Kalman filtering for stability of output data

The shortcoming is the reactiveness of the technology: A change in environment or operator control input will not show until the effect is noted by the sensors.


Smart Predict – Managing forces, vectors and inertia

EXISTING PREDICTORS

Wärtsilä’s new SmartPredict adds logic from the DP - Dynamic Positioning system, using the the ship’s mathemathical model.

• In addition to the normal prediction, it takes the following into account

• Wind direction and speed, with resultant forces on the vessel

• Calulated current and effect on vessel (including draft)

• Any operator control input (rudder, thrusters, engines)

• To achieve this, the DP mathemactical model is used for calculations

The benefits are overall quicker response and immediate response to any operator input or environmental change.

Navigation

There will be two different joystick control modes:

• Thrust mode – ”traditional” coordinated thruster control - thrust is applied in the direction and magnitude of joystick deflection.

• Speed mode – joystick deflection controls speed and rate of turn, where the system calculates forces and manages the thrusters -zero joystick deflection means vessel holds current position.
