| Abstract |
The roadmap for transitioning to zero-emission transport and logistics in Europe promotes the use of waterborne transport, specifically inland waterway transport (IWT) and coastal shipping, to shift goods from road to water. In congested, urban areas that are characterized by shallow waterways and low bridges, the use of smaller vessels for IWT may offer a more environmentally attractive option.
FOREMAST aims at facilitating the movement of goods using Small, Flexible Automated, Zero-emission (SFAZ) vessels. Solutions are developed and validated in three Living Labs (LLs) in Europe with three different types of SFAZ vessels, exploring different levels of automation and autonomy combined with innovative green propulsion.
In order to understand how the different SFAZ vessels will react to a control command, the manoeuvring characteristics of the vessels need to be known. A Living Lab in Romania considers new concepts, of which the resistance and manoeuvring characteristics can be derived based on CFD computations. For the LL in France, full scale manoeuvres have been carried out. This paper will focuses on the French LL and explains how the measured data from zig-zag, turning circle and other manoeuvres were pre-processed in order to be able to apply system identification techniques to establish a mathematical manoeuvring model of the SFAZ vessel. The same methodology will be used applied for the LL in Belgium. |
