A Floating Dock Digital Twin towards Efficient, Safer and Autonomous Docking Operations

The aim of the project is to develop the computer model to simulate autonomous floating dock operations and interactions between a floating dock and a vessel. The model will also be utilized to test automatic control system of a floating dock. The outcome of the project is to provide maritime industry with an advanced simulation program, which enables quick prediction of a docking process progress to avoid dangerous situations and accidents. This project is relevant for GUT as it tightens cooperation with the maritime industry and introduces novel solutions.

Docking operations of ships require a response assessment to ensure structural and personnel safety. Environmental loads and improper ballast adjustments are the main threats to the docking operations. They can cause severe structural damages and stability loss to a floating dock system which includes a floating dock and a docked vessel, even if the velocities of the dock and the vessel are very low during the docking process....
