Features: This book consists of two parts, divided into thirteen chapters. The first part is on the fundamentals of maritime automation, primarily introducing the basic knowledge of automatic control theory. This section is divided into seven chapters, with its main content including: the basic concepts and composition principles of automatic control systems, state analysis of automatic control systems, optimal control of deterministic systems (optimal control via dynamic programming and linear quadratic optimal control problems), state estimation and system identification (Kalman filtering technology and least squares identification methods), stochastic control (minimum variance control, generalized minimum variance control, and LQG stochastic optimal control methods), adaptive control, and intelligent control (expert control, fuzzy control, neural control, and human-like intelligent control methods). The second part is on maritime automation systems, introducing maritime automation systems and their subsystems. This section is divided into six chapters, with its main content including: the ship optimal route planning system—weather routing, automatic steering systems (PID automatic steering, adaptive automatic steering, intelligent automatic steering, and trajectory automatic steering), automatic positioning systems (ship position keeping system (inertial navigation system), ship position determination system (GPS introduction), and comprehensive data processing methods), automatic collision avoidance systems (automatic collision avoidance and reef avoidance systems), electronic chart display and information system, and new ship integrated bridge systems. In addition to serving as a teaching material for maritime colleges and universities' navigation programs, this book can also be used as a reading resource for senior ship operators to enrich their knowledge of modern maritime navigation. The book is divided into two parts and thirteen chapters, covering content such as the basic principles of automatic control systems, an overview of maritime automation, system stochastic control and adaptive control, weather routing, automatic steering systems, automatic positioning systems, automatic collision avoidance systems, and ship integrated bridge systems.
