Abstract
This article faces the problem of operative and procedural cooperative training in marine ports with par-ticular attention to harbour pilots and port traffic controller. The design and development of an advancedsystem, equipped with dedicated hardware in the loop, for cooperative training of operators involved inthe last mile of navigation is presented. Indeed, the article describes the software and hardware develop-ment of a distributed and interoperable system composed by two simulators (the bridge ship simulatorand control tower simulator). Multiple problems are faced and solved including (i) the motion of the shipat sea that is based on a 6 Degree Of Freedom (DOF) model for surge, sway and yaw and closed formexpressions for pitch, roll and heave and its validation; (ii) the development of the 3D geometric modelsand related virtual environments of a real marine port and vessel (to provide the trainees with the sen-sation to experience a real port and ship environment); (iii) the design of a bridge ship replica, the bridgehardware integration and the design of the visualization system; (iv) the design and development of thecontrol tower simulator; (v) the integration of the bridge ship simulator and control tower simulator through the IEEE 1516 High Level Architecture standard for distributed simulation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
