The invention relates to water transport and relating to the management of vessel moored to the performance of mooring operations to Board a ship anchored.

Known way to control vessel moored to the performance of mooring operations to the Board of the partner (Path # 2422326, opubl), when within the contours of the moored vessel and the vessel partner in their diametrically planes to pick two points, one of which is located in the nose And (moored vessel), A n (ship-partner), and the other aft At (moored vessel), B n (ship-partner) (Fig 1, 2) with respect to the middle frame of the respective vessel.

The coordinates of the points a, b, A, n , B n in a fixed coordinate system continuously determine with high accuracy (+/- 1.0 m). Using the coordinates of points moored vessel AND(X 0 , Y 0A), (X 0B , Y 0B ) vessel and the partner-A n (X 0 A n Y 0An ), B n (X 0Bn , Y 0Bn ) in a fixed coordinate system, the coordinates of the same points in the moving coordinate systems related moored vessel And A(X A , Y, A), (X , Y B ) vessel and the partner A n (X An Y An ), B n (X Bn , Y Bn ), the coordinates of the centers of gravity (CG) moored vessel in the associated mobile coordinate system G(X, g , Y g ) vessel and the partner in the associated mobile coordinate system G n (X 0Gn , Y 0Gn ), and spacing diametrically planes (DP) moored vessels h 0 and the distance between CG moored vessels m expect:

- coordinates of the center of gravity of a moored vessel G (X 0G , Y 0G ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- coordinates of the center of gravity of the ship-partner G n (X 0Gn , Y 0Gn ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- coordinates of points A' n (X A ' n ,Y A ' n ) and B' n (X B n y Y n B ), situated on the perpendicular DP vessel partner, restored in point A n and B n ;

- coordinates of the projection CT vessel partner G' n (X 0G'n Y 0G'n ) in a fixed coordinate system on the trajectory of convergence in the final stage of the mooring, the parallel DP vessel partner through A point' n and B' n ;

- coordinates of the second set point P 2 (X 0P2 , Y 0P2 ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- the current value of the stopping distance moored vessel should be calculated using the equations of its movement dυ/dS=f ( * , 1 , 2 , 3 ,...)

where * is the current value of the speed moored vessel;

S is the path;

With 1, 2 , 3 ,... are the current values of the parameters of the equations of motion of a moored vessel, which depends upon the current parameters characterizing the current status of loading of the ship and the external environment (displacement of a moored vessel; landing options corps; direction and speed of wind parameters excitement; direction and speed of currents; the depth of water area at the perform mooring operations).

The actual length of a brake way moored vessel in the process of rapprochement with the vessel-a partner is determined by integration of the equations of motion of a moored vessel within * = * n up * = * n , i.e.

where * n - initial speed of a moored vessel; * n - speed vessel partner.

While the current values of the parameters of the equations of motion of a moored vessel With 1 , 2 , 3 ,... in the implementation process of mooring operations continuously identify, using the method described in [2], [3];

- coordinates of the first given point P (X 0P1 , Y 0P1 ) in a fixed coordinate system.

Knowing the coordinates of the first set point and CG coordinate moored vessel determine the current position of a trajectory of convergence, passing through the first set point P (X 0P1 , Y 0P1 ) and CT moored vessel G (X 0G , Y 0g ). After that define the transverse displacement of points a and b from that found in a specified way trajectory of convergence.

Continuously determined the coordinates of points a and b, A n and B n continually calculate the CG coordinate moored vessel G, and together with continuously determined by the current value of the stopping distance S T and first given point P 1 , as well as transverse displacement d A and d B points a and b are moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence.

Transverse displacement produce a signal to the deviation of the steering body, for example steering moored vessel by law:

?=- k A x A d +k B x d B ,

where k A , k, B - gain on pepper offsets the bow and stern points moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence.

Thus, moored vessel moves along the line of GP 1 in the direction of the point P 1 .

At the time of exit moored vessel in the first set point, which corresponds to the coordinates equality CT moored vessel G (X 0G , Y 0G ) and the coordinates of the first given point P (X 0G , Y 0P1 ) (X 0G =X 0P1 , Y 0G =Y 0P1 ), it goes to the rapprochement with the second set point R 2 , with the current position of a trajectory approximation corresponds to the position of the line passing through A point' n (X A n Y A n and B n (X B n Y B n )which coordinates are calculated continuously. The current coordinates of the second set point P 2 (X 0P2 , Y 0P2 )lying on the line AA' n B' n , calculate also continuously.

Continuously determined the coordinates of points a and b, A n and B n continually calculate: the coordinates of points A' n and B n , CT G moored vessel and CG G n a vessel partner, the second set point P 2 in a fixed coordinate system, as well as transverse displacement d A and d B points a and b are moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence, which is the line A' n B' n .

Transverse displacement produce a signal to the deviation of the steering body, for example steering moored vessel by the known law. Thus, moored vessel is moving at a point R 2 along the line AA' n B' n .

The time when a moored vessel in the second set point R 2 corresponds coordinates equality CT moored vessel and the second set point, that is, X 0G =X 0P2 , Y 0G =Y 0P2 .

After the release moored vessel at the point R 2 carry out further rapprochement moored vessels up to direct contact «Board to Board». With this purpose, given the current position of a trajectory of convergence moored vessels, i.e. line A' n B' n , gradually shifted in parallel DP vessel partner in the side of the vessel partner with a speed of not more than permissible values of the speed of the transverse motion moored vessel in the direction of the ship-partner * D. Speed * d is determined proceeding from the safety of mooring operations, namely, the conditions for safe damping of transverse speed moored vessel in the moment of the contact moored vessels means fender protect vessels partner. Parallel shift the line AA' n B' n toward a vessel partner due to the displacement of points A' n and B n , position, which I hope continuously depending on the value of the distance h between the sides moored vessels. The gradual decrease of the value h in accordance with the law

dh/dt=f (*d , h, h 0 ,...)

changes the value specified by way of calculation of the distance between APS moored vessels h 0 =h+0.5 x(n B +C) (here n B - width of the vessel partner-In - the width of the moored vessel), which, in turn, changes the coordinates of points A ' n and B' n and ultimately line A' n B' n shifted vessel partner, while remaining parallel to his BF.

The line offset A' n B' n from the starting position to the side of the vessel partner forms offset d A d B a fore and aft In points moored vessel respectively. Is formed the control signal?=-k A x A d +k B x d B , and DP moored vessel is given to the new position of the line AA' n B' n until they match. Next, the process of shifting the line AA' n B' n at the specified algorithm in the direction of the ship partner will be repeated many times, repeatedly will take the form of displacement of the nasal d A and fodder d B points moored vessel relative to the current position of the line AA' n B' n. Offset fore and aft points In the moored vessel relative to the current position of the line AA' n B' n will lead to the formation of the control signal controls moored ship. Work management tools will return DP moored vessel on line coinciding with the current line position A' n B' n .

The line offset A' n B' n side of the vessel partner will be up until the distance h between 0 PD moored vessels will not be equal to the value determined from the expression h 0 =0.5 x(n B +C), i.e. at this point, the distance between the sides of the moored vessels will be zero as h=0. A specified point in the proposed method of ship's control when they mooring operations to the Board of the partner is considered the date of completion of mooring operations.

However, in this way, ship's control, performing mooring operation the vessel partner, there is a certain disadvantage of not allowing safe closer moored vessel with the vessel-partner, if it's anchored, because the vessel is anchored, relative to the water in the longitudinal direction is either absent, or has a value close to zero, so in the moment of release of the vessel moored alongside a partner, anchored, and subsequent convergence speed moored vessel must be equal to the flow rate * st in the area of anchorage.

The technical result, the attainment of which are directed by the invention consists in observing traffic conditions moored vessel at the final stage of mooring with the speed equal to the speed of the current * st in the area of the ship's anchorage-partner.

To achieve the technical result in the proposed method of ship's control when they mooring operations to the Board of the partner, when within the contours of the moored vessel and the vessel partner in their diametrically planes to pick two points, one of which is located in the nose And (moored vessel), A n (ship-partner), and the other aft At (moored vessel), B n (ship-partner) (Fig.1-4) with respect to the middle frame of the respective vessel.

The coordinates of the points a, b, A, n , B n in a fixed coordinate system continuously determine with high accuracy (+/- 1.0 m). Using the values of the coordinates of the moored vessel AND(X 0A , Y 0A) >(X 0B , Y 0B ) vessel and the partner-A n (X 0 A n Y 0An ), B n (X 0Bn , Y 0Bn ) in a fixed coordinate system, the coordinates of the same points in the moving coordinate systems related moored vessel And A(X A Y A), (X, B , Y, B ) and the vessel partner A n (An X , Y'an ), B n (X Bn ,Y Bn ), the coordinates of the centers of gravity (CG) moored vessel in the associated mobile coordinate system G(X, G ,Y G ) vessel and the partner in the associated mobile coordinate system G n (X 0Gn , Y 0Gn ), and spacing diametrically planes (DP) moored vessels h 0 and the distance between CG moored vessels m expect:

- coordinates of the center of gravity of the ship-partner G n (X 0Gn , Y 0Gn ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- coordinates of points A' n (X A n Y A n and B n (X B n B Y n ), situated on the perpendicular DP vessel partner, restored in point A n and B n ;

- coordinates of the projection CT vessel partner G' n {X 0G'n Y 0G'n ) in a fixed coordinate system on the trajectory of convergence in the final stage of mooring parallel to the DP vessel partner through A point' n and B' n ;

- coordinates of the second set point P 2 (X N , Y 0P2 ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- current the length of a brake way moored vessel should be calculated using the equations of its movement dυ/dS=f ( * , C 1 , 2 , 3 ,...)

where * is the current value of the speed moored vessel;

S is the path;

With 1 , 2 , 3 ,... are the current values of the parameters of the equations of motion of a moored vessel, which depends upon the current parameters characterizing the current status of loading of the ship and the external environment (the displacement of a moored vessel; landing options corps; direction and speed of wind parameters excitement; direction and speed of currents; the depth of water area at the execution ground operations).

A distinctive feature of the proposed method from the above-known, the most close to him, is the following:

additionally, the current value of the stopping distance moored vessel in the process of rapprochement with the vessel-a partner is determined by integration of the equations of motion of a moored vessel within * = * n up * = * st , i.e.

where * st is the rate of flow in the area of the ship's anchorage-partner.

While the current values of the parameters of the equations of motion of a moored vessel With 1, 2 , 3 ,... in the implementation process of mooring operations continuously identify, using the method described in [2], [3];

- coordinates of the first given point P (X 0P1 , Y 0P1 ) in a fixed coordinate system.

Knowing the coordinates of the first set point and CG coordinate moored vessel determine the current position of a trajectory of convergence, passing through the first set point P (X 0P1 , Y 0P1 ) and CT moored vessel G (X 0G , Y 0G ). After that define the transverse displacement of points a and b from that found in a specified way trajectory of convergence.

Continuously determined the coordinates of points a and b, A n and B n continually calculate the CG coordinate moored vessel G, and together with continuously determined by the current value of the stopping distance S T and first given point P 1 , as well as transverse displacement d A and d B points a and b are moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence.

Transverse displacement produce a signal to the deviation of the steering body, for example steering moored vessel by law:

?=- k A x A d +k B x d B ,

where k A , k - gain on pepper offsets the bow and stern points moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence.

Thus, moored vessel moves along the line of GP 1 in the direction of the point P 1 (figure 2).

At the time of exit moored vessel in the first set point, which corresponds to the coordinates equality CT moored vessel G(X 0G , Y 0G ) and the coordinates of the first given point P (X 0G , Y 0P1 ) (X 0G =X R ; Y 0G =Y 0P1 ), it goes to the rapprochement with the second set point R 2 (figure 2), while the current position of a trajectory approximation corresponds to the position of the line passing through A point' n (X A n Y A n and B n (X n B ,B Y n ), the coordinates of which are calculated continuously. The current coordinates of the second set point P 2 (X 0P2 , Y 0P2 )lying on the line AA' n B' n , are evaluated continuously.

Continuously determined the coordinates of points a and b, A n and B n continually calculate: the coordinates of points A' n and B n , CT G moored vessel and CG G n a vessel partner, the second set point P 2 in a fixed coordinate system, as well as transverse displacement d A and d B points a and b are moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence, which is the line A' n B' n .

Transverse displacement produce a signal to the deviation of the steering body, for example steering moored vessel by the known law. Thus, moored vessel is moving at a point R 2 along the line AA' n B' n .

The time when a moored vessel in the second set point R 2 corresponds coordinates equality CT moored vessel and the second set point, that is, X 0G =X 0P2 , Y 0G =Y 0P2 .

After the release moored vessel at the point R 2 carry out further rapprochement moored vessels up to direct contact «Board to Board». With this purpose, given the current position of a trajectory of convergence moored vessels, i.e. line A' n B' n , gradually shifted in parallel DP vessel partner in the side of the vessel partner with a speed of not more than permissible values of the speed of the transverse motion moored vessel in the direction of the ship-partner * D. Speed * d is determined proceeding from the safety of mooring operations, namely, the conditions for safe damping of transverse speed moored vessel in the moment of the contact moored vessels means fender protect vessels partner. Parallel shift the line AA' n B' n toward a vessel partner due to the displacement of points A' n and B n , position, which I hope continuously depending on the value of the distance h between the sides moored vessels. The gradual decrease of the value h in accordance with the law

changes the value specified by way of calculation of the distance between APS moored vessels h 0 =h+0.5 x(n B +C) (here n B - width of the vessel partner-In - the width of the moored vessel), which, in turn, changes the coordinates of points A ' n and B' n and ultimately line A' n B' n shifted vessel partner, while remaining parallel to his BF.

The line offset A' n B' n from the starting position to the side of the vessel partner forms offset d A d B a fore and aft In points moored vessel respectively. Form the control signal?=-k A x A d +k B x d B , and DP moored vessel is given to the new position of the line AA' n B' n until they match. Next, the process of shifting the line AA' n B' n at the specified algorithm in the direction of the ship partner will be repeated many times, repeatedly will take the form of displacement of the nasal d A and fodder d B points moored vessel relative to the current position of the line AA' n B' n . Offset fore and aft points In the moored vessel relative to the current position of the line AA' n B' n will lead to the formation of the control signal controls moored ship. Work management tools will return DP moored vessel on line coinciding with the current line position A' n B' n .

The line offset A' n B' n toward a vessel partner will be up until the distance h between 0 PD moored vessels will not be equal to the value determined from the expression h 0 =0.5 x(n B +C), i.e. at this point, the distance between the sides of the moored vessels will be zero as h=0. A specified point in the proposed method of ship's control when they mooring operations to the Board of the partner anchored, is considered the date of completion of mooring operations.

The proposed method of ship's control when they mooring operations to the Board of the partner is anchored, as follows.

Within the contours of the moored vessel and the vessel partner in their diametrically planes to pick two points, one of which is located in the nose And (moored vessel), A n (ship-partner), and the other aft At(moored vessel), B n (ship-partner) (Fig.1-4) with respect to the middle frame of the respective vessel.

The coordinates of the points a, b, A, n , B n in a fixed coordinate system continuously determine with high accuracy (+/- 1.0 m). Using the coordinates of points moored vessel AND(X 0A , Y 0A), (X 0B , Y 0B ) vessel and the partner-A n (X 0An , Y 0An ), B n (X 0Bn , Y 0Bn ) in a fixed coordinate system, the coordinates of the same points in the moving coordinate systems related to vessel moored A(X A , Ya), (X , Y B ) vessel and the partner A n (An X , Y'an ), B n (X Bn ,Y Bn ), the coordinates of the centers of gravity (CG) moored vessel in the associated mobile coordinate system G(X, G ,Y G ) vessel and the partner in the associated mobile coordinate system G n (X 0Gn , Y 0Gn ), and values of the distances between diametrically planes (DP) moored vessels h 0 and the distance between CG moored vessels m expect:

- coordinates of the center of gravity of a moored vessel G(X 0G , Y 0G ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- coordinates of the center of gravity of the ship-partner G n (X 0Gn , Y 0Gn ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- coordinates of points A' n (X A n Y A n and B n (X B n B Y n ), situated on the perpendicular DP vessel partner, restored in point A n and B n ;

- coordinates of the projection CT vessel partner G' n (X 0G'n >Y 0G'n ) in a fixed coordinate system on the trajectory of convergence in the final stage of mooring parallel to the DP vessel partner through A point' n and B' n ;

- coordinates of the second set point P 2 (X 0P2 , Y 0P2 ) in a fixed coordinate system;

- the current value of the stopping distance moored vessel should be calculated using the equations of its movement

dυ/dS=f ( * , C 1 , 2 , 3 ,...)

where * is the current value of the speed moored vessel;

S is the path;

With 1 , 2 , 3 ,... are the current values of the parameters of the equations of motion of a moored vessel, which depends upon the current parameters characterizing the current status of loading of the ship and the environment (displacement moored vessel; landing options corps; direction and speed of wind parameters excitement; direction and speed of currents; the depth of water area at the perform mooring operations).

The actual length of a brake way moored vessel in the process of rapprochement with the vessel-a partner is determined by integration of the equations of motion of a moored vessel within * = * n up * = * st , i.e.

where * st is the rate of flow in the area of the ship's anchorage-partner.

While the current values of the parameters of the equations of motion of a moored vessel With 1 , 2 , 3 ,... in the implementation process of mooring operations continuously identify, using the method described in [2], [3];

- coordinates of the first given point P (X 0P1 , Y 0P1 ) in a fixed coordinate system.

Knowing the coordinates of the first set point and CG coordinate moored vessel determine the current position of a trajectory of convergence, passing through the first set point P (X 0P1 , Y 0P1 ) and CG G moored vessel (X 0G , Y 0G ). After that define the transverse displacement of points a and b from that found in a specified way trajectory of convergence.

Continuously determined the coordinates of points a and b, A n and B n continually calculate the CG coordinate G moored vessel, and with continuously determined by the current value of the stopping distance S T and first given point P 1 , as well as transverse displacement d A and d B points a and b are moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence.

Transverse displacement produce a signal to the deviation of the steering body, for example steering moored vessel by law:

?=- k A x A d +k B x d B ,

where k A , k - gain on pepper offsets the bow and stern points moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence.

Thus, moored vessel moves along the line of GP 1 in the direction of the point P 1 .

At the time of exit moored vessel in the first set point, which corresponds to the coordinates equality CT moored vessel G(X 0G , Y 0G ) and the coordinates of the first given point P (X 0G , Y 0P1 ) (X 0G =X 0P1 ; Y 0G =Y 0P1 ), it goes to the rapprochement with the second set point R 2 , with the current position of a trajectory approximation corresponds to the position of the line passing through A point' n (X A n Y A n ) u B' n (X B n Y B n )which coordinates are calculated continuously. The current coordinates of the second set point P 2 (X 0P2 , Y 0P2 )lying on the line AA' n B' n , calculated continuously.

Continuously determined the coordinates of points a and b, A n and B n continually calculate: the coordinates of points A' n and B n , CT G moored vessel and CG G n a vessel partner, the second set point P 2 in a fixed coordinate system, as well as transverse displacement d A and d B points a and b are moored vessel from the current position of a trajectory of convergence, which is the line A' n B' n .

Transverse displacement produce a signal to the deviation of the steering body, for example steering moored vessel by the known law. Thus, moored vessel is moving at a point R 2 along the line AA' n B' n .

The time when a moored vessel in the second set point R 2 corresponds coordinates equality CT moored vessel and the second set point, that is, X 0G =X 0P2 , Y 0G =Y 0P2 .

After the release moored vessel at the point R 2 carry out further rapprochement moored vessels up to direct contact «Board to Board». With this purpose, given the current position of a trajectory of convergence moored vessels, i.e. line A' n B' n , gradually shifted in parallel DP vessel partner in the side of the vessel partner with a speed of not more than permissible values of the speed of the transverse motion moored vessel in the direction of the ship-partner * D. Speed * d is determined proceeding from the safety of mooring operations, namely, the conditions for safe damping of transverse speed moored vessel in the moment of the contact moored vessels means fender protect vessels partner. Parallel shift the line AA' n B' n toward a vessel partner due to the displacement of points A' n and B n , position, which I hope continuously depending on the value of the distance h between the sides moored vessels. The gradual decrease of the value h in accordance with the law

dh/dt=f(υ, h, h 0 ,...)

changes the value specified by way of calculation of the distance between APS moored vessels h 0 =h+0.5 x(n B +C) (here n B - width of the vessel partner-In - the width of the moored vessel), which, in turn, changes the coordinates of points A ' n and B' n and ultimately line A' n B' n shifted vessel partner, while remaining parallel to his BF.

The line offset A' n B' n from the starting position to the side of the vessel partner forms offset d A d B a fore and aft In points moored vessel respectively. Is formed the control signal?=-k A x A d +k B x d B , and DP moored vessel is given to the new position of the line AA' n B' n until they match. Next, the process of shifting the line AA' n B' n at the specified algorithm in the direction of the ship partner will be repeated many times, repeatedly will take the form of displacement of the nasal d A and fodder d B points moored vessel relative to the current position of the line AA' n B' n. Offset fore and aft points In the moored vessel relative to the current position of the line AA' n B' n will lead to the formation of the control signal controls moored ship. Work management tools will return DP moored vessel on line coinciding with the current line position A' n B' n .

The line offset A' n B' n toward a vessel partner will be up until the distance h between 0 PD moored vessels will not be equal to the value determined from the expression h 0 =0.5 x(n B +C), i.e. at this point, the distance between the sides of the moored vessels will be zero as h=0. A specified point in the proposed method of ship's control when they mooring operations to the Board of the partner is considered the date of completion of mooring operations.

As a result of application of the present invention is an opportunity to obtain a technical result - compliance with security perform mooring operations to the Board of the partner anchored, thus, the proposed method, ship's control when they mooring operations to the Board of the partner meets the criteria of patentability «industrial applicability».
