Ship Maneuvering Control in Oceaninfo Platform Based on an Improved PID Method

T11 chaotic motion and its control in the process of ship course keeping are discussed is our OceanInfo platform. A PID controller is applied to the chaotic ship steering and course keeping, and an improved dynamic chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm is adopted for the controller parameters tuning with simulation experiments. The results show that, the PID control method can suppress the chaotic ship steering in the OceanInfo platform effectively, and the proposed algorithm is easy to program.
