Research on shipborne aided navigation system based on enhanced traffic environment perception.

Abstract

The traditional shipborne navigation system uses a two-dimensional electronic chart as a platform to integrate and control a variety of electronic navigation equipment information. It cannot intuitively restore the actual traffic environment or fundamentally improve the perception ability of the crew in poor visibility conditions. This paper proposes integrating three-dimensional simulations and real ship driving systems and presents research on "virtual-real" and "dynamic-static" ship navigation technology and equipment. In the proposed method, the hydrologic factors, topographic features, waterways, traffic dynamics, and ship driving information are effectively integrated, with a focus on achieving key advancements such as the integration of simulations and real ship driving as well as multi-source information fusion. A multi-angle, all-around, multi-level visual display for water traffic environments in poor visibility conditions is provided to enhance the ability of crews to perceive their traffic environments and thereby to provide auxiliary navigation for ships in complex weather conditions.
