自主水面船(ASV)在公海作业的安全性与可持续性方面发挥着日益重要的作用。由于大多数海上事故与人为失误有关,用于自主避碰和路径跟随的智能算法能够大幅降低海事领域的风险。数字孪生(DT)是真实物理系统的虚拟表示,能够增强此类 ASV 的态势感知(SITAW),从而生成最优决策。本工作建立在现有的 ASV 数字孪生框架之上,并展示了实现预测性、规范性和自主性能力的基础。在此背景下,先进的目标跟踪方法对于估计和预测其他动态物体的位置与运动至关重要。所应用的跟踪方法由实时自动识别系统(AIS)数据和合成激光雷达(Lidar)测量数据驱动。为确保自主作业期间的安全,我们基于非线性模型预测控制(NMPC)的概念应用了预测安全滤波器。这些方法被实现到使用 Unity 游戏引擎构建的数字孪生中。因此,本工作展示了一个数字孪生的潜力,该数字孪生能够进行预测、推演各种假设情景,并根据其增强的态势感知提供最优控制决策。
英文摘要:
Autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) play an increasingly important role in the safety and sustainability of open sea operations. Since most maritime accidents are related to human failure, intelligent algorithms for autonomous collision avoidance and path following can drastically reduce the risk in the maritime sector. A DT is a virtual representative of a real physical system and can enhance the situational awareness (SITAW) of such an ASV to generate optimal decisions. This work builds on an existing DT framework for ASVs and demonstrates foundations for enabling predictive, prescriptive, and autonomous capabilities. In this context, sophisticated target tracking approaches are crucial for estimating and predicting the position and motion of other dynamic objects. The applied tracking method is enabled by real-time automatic identification system (AIS) data and synthetic light detection and ranging (Lidar) measurements. To guarantee safety during autonomous operations, we applied a predictive safety filter, based on the concept of nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). The approaches are implemented into a DT built with the Unity game engine. As a result, this work demonstrates the potential of a DT capable of making predictions, playing through various what-if scenarios, and providing optimal control decisions according to its enhanced SITAW.

为了应对国际海事组织(IMO)和欧洲绿色协议的Fit for 55立法一揽子规定的严格减排目标,海运业已将重点转向脱碳。虽然超过5,000总吨(GT)的船舶受到了极大的关注,但沿海和短途海运的排放量约占全球航运运输的13%,占欧盟(EU)的15%,尚未得到充分考虑。本文介绍了零排放海上运输船(ZEST)项目,旨在通过开发一种零排放多用途双体船来解决这一问题
