A novel GA-LSTM-based prediction method of ship energy usage based on the characteristics analysis of operational data

Optimization of ship energy efficiency is an efficient measure to decrease fuel usage and emissions in the shipping industry. The accurate prediction model of ship energy usage is the basis to achieve optimization of ship energy efficiency. This study investigates the sequential properties of the actual voyage data from a VLOC. On this basis,...

Ship docking and undocking control with adaptive-mutation beetle swarm prediction algorithm

Autonomous docking and undocking control is an important part of intelligent ship motion control. In this study, the adaptive-mutation beetle swarm prediction (AMBS-P) algorithm is used to propose a control approach for autonomous docking and undocking. Firstly, this paper introduces the principle of the AMBS-P algorithm, then the convergence...

EdgeTuner: Fast Scheduling Algorithm Tuning for Dynamic Edge-Cloud Workloads and Resources

Edge-cloud jobs are rapidly prevailing in many application domains, posing the challenge of using both resource-strenuous edge devices and elastic cloud resources. Efficient resource allocation on such jobs via scheduling algorithms is essential to guarantee their performance, e.g. latency. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is increasingly...

State-of-the-Art Research on Motion Control of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships

At present, with the development of waterborne transport vehicles, research on ship faces a new round of challenges in terms of intelligence and autonomy. The concept of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) has been put forward by the International Maritime Organization in 2017, in which MASS become the new focus of the waterborne...

Ship motion control based on AMBPS-PID algorithm

Intelligent motion control is one of the key technologies of ships. This paper studies the application of Adaptive Mutation Beetle Particle Swarm (AMBPS)-PID algorithm in ship motion control. Firstly, the ship MMG model is established. Then the BAS algorithm is introduced, and AMBPS algorithm is improved and designed on this basis. Secondly,...
