Abstract

In this paper, a ship model with wave disturbances is used to simulate the ship autopilot system. An information fusion estimation based optimal tracking controller is designed for the ship course tracking system. Due to the effect of wave disturbances, the passive observer is adopted to estimate the system state and extern disturbance. Finally, two simulation tests in calm water and in waves respectively are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
