EVOLUTIONARY MULTI–OBJECTIVE WEATHER ROUTING OF SAILBOATS
PublicationThe paper presents a multi-objective method, which optimises the route of a sailboat. The presented method makes use of an evolutionary multi-objective (EMO) algorithm, which performs the optimisation according to three objective functions: total passage time, a sum of all course alterations made during the voyage and the average angle of heel. The last two of the objective functions reflect the navigator’s and passenger’s comfort,...

Collision Risk-Informed Weather Routing for Sailboats
PublicationSelected COLREG rules, good seamanship and sheer common sense indicate that it is in a sailboat's interest to follow collision-free routes without relying on large power-driven ships to give way. Until now, however, no method has integrated a sailboat's weather routing with collision risk monitoring and collision avoidance. Therefore, a new deterministic approach to combine the above features within one method is introduced here....

Multi-objective weather routing of sailboats considering wave resistance
PublicationThe article presents a method to determine the route of a sailing vessel with the aid of deterministic algorithms. The method assumes that the area in which the route is to be determined is limited and the basic input data comprise the wind vector and the speed characteristic of the vessel. Compared to previous works of the authors, the present article additionally takes into account the effect of sea waves with the resultant resistance...

Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles
PublicationAdvanced mobile vehicles and robots have long been one of the main issues in engineering. They have various applications in emergency, lifeguarding and entertainment as well as in various industrial, civil and military systems. Among them, you can distinguish robots that can move in an open environment or operate only in predetermined confined spaces. Open world robots are very demanding because they have...

Safety assurance strategies for autonomous vehicles
PublicationAssuring safety of autonomous vehicles requires that the vehicle control system can perceive the situation in the environment and react to actions of other entities. One approach to vehicle safety assurance is based on the assumption that hazardous sequences of events should be identified during hazard analysis and then some means of hazard avoidance and mitigation, like barriers, should be designed and implemented. Another approach...

Trolleybus with traction batteries for autonomous running
PublicationIn 2009 the transport company of city Gdynia (Poland) introduced in the operation trolleybuses fitted with traction batteries. This solution was designed for emergency situations, such as: damage of overhead lines or power loss. Transport company also considering the use of batteries in regular use. The article presents the operational experiences gained during the current operation. Furthermore, there are presented new trends...

Modeling Dynamics of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle.
PublicationArtykuł dotyczy budowy modelu autonomicznego pojazdu podwodnego do celów syntezy układu sterowania pojazdem. Rozważany pojazd ma długośc ok. 1 m i 30 cm średnicy. Wyposażony jest w 5 pędników, które pozwalają na sterowanie w pięciu stopniach swobody. Do badań wykorzystano model o 4 stopniach swobody. Dokonano identyfikacji parametrycznej modelu. Model zrealizowano w środowisku programowym Matlab/Simulink.

Intelligent integration for autonomous manufacturing systems
PublicationW artykule zaproponowano inteligentną platformę integracyjną dla autonomicznych systemów produkcyjnych. Autonomie zdefiniowano w pracy jako samowystarczalne zamkniecie informacyjne. Inteligencje natomiast zdefiniowana jako umiejętność podejmowania właściwych decyzji w zmiennym otoczenie. Platformę integracyjną oparto na technice systemów ekspertowych.
