Vessel Docking • “20 / 20 / 20” Essential performance for reliable vessel docking • 20mm accurate position, update rate of 20Hz, latency of 20ms • Centimeter or Submeter operation • During Docking maneuvers receivers provide rapid centimeter level accuracy’s • Also seamless switch to submeter operation for route navigation during a crossing • and then back to centimeter accuracy’s at the next port.
Seamless Navigation • Example - Stenna Fast Ferry • Carries 1400 passengers, 400 vehicles, 120 Trucks • Cruises at 40Knots, Docks at 10Knots!!!
Vessel Docking • Multiple Navigation Information • Provides specific navigation information for selected locations on the vessel. • Also provides information to ensure safe distances are maintained from wharves, pilings and other objects. • Data Recording • All positioning information is recorded and time-stamped into a project file allowing docking operations to be examined later
Vessel Docking • Overcome Limitations of Laser Systems • No line of sight is needed between the dock and the vessel, • Any size of vessel can be monitored with the same system • Functions at any state of the tide and will even give you an accurate tide level, • Optical systems rely on a reflected beam of light but with GPS the vessel can be at any angle to the dock or in any weather conditions
Vessel Docking • Conventional RTK • solves 3D vectors between a stationary base and moving rovers • Updates at 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20Hz • Relative accuracy, Base -> Rover = 1 - 2cm • Moving Base RTK • solves 3D vectors between a moving base and moving rovers. • Updates at 1, 2, 5, or 10Hz • Relative accuracy, Base -> Rover = 1 - 2cm
Vessel Docking – MB RTK • Relative Accuracy Base to Rovers • Always = 1 - 2cm • Absolute (real world) Accuracy • Dependant upon corrections supplied to the receiver designated the Moving Base • If no corrections - Autonomous (20m) • If DGPS corrections - DGPS (sub meter) • If RTK corrections - RTK (1 - 2 cm) • Relative Accuracy is always 1 - 2cm
