Abstract:

In the field of ship control the Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) controllers remain common place. However, increasingly new autopilot strategies, promising higher levels of robustness and/or adaptive qualities, are being proposed as possible successors to the PID. Fuzzy Logic is a modern control technique which is currently finding an increasing and diverse range of novel applications. By means of full scale sea trials, a newly developed Fuzzy Logic autopilot is evaluated and a comparison made to its conventional equivalent.
