About the Book

The technology of hydrodynamic modeling and marine craft motion control systems has progressed greatly in recent years. This timely survey includes the latest tools for analysis and design of advanced guidance, navigation and control systems and presents new material on underwater vehicles and surface vessels. Each section presents numerous case studies and applications, providing a practical understanding of how model-based motion control systems are designed.

Key features include:

  • a three-part structure covering Modeling of Marine Craft; Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems; and Appendices, providing all the supporting theory in a single resource
  • kinematics, kinetics, hydrostatics, seakeeping and maneuvering theory, and simulation models for marine craft and environmental forces
  • guidance systems, sensor fusion and integrated navigation systems, inertial measurement units, Kalman filtering and nonlinear observer design for marine craft
  • state-of-the-art methods for feedback control
  • more advanced methods using nonlinear theory, enabling the user to compare linear design techniques before a final implementation is made.
  • linear and nonlinear stability theory, and numerical methods
  • companion website that hosts links to lecture notes and download information for the Marine Systems Simulator (MSS) which is an open source Matlab/Simulink(R) toolbox for marine systems. The MSS toolbox includes hydrodynamic models and motion control systems for ships, underwater vehicles and floating structures

With an appropriate balance between mathematical theory and practical applications, academic and industrial researchers working in marine and control engineering aspects of manned and unmanned maritime vehicles will benefit from this comprehensive handbook. It is also suitable for final year undergraduates and postgraduates, lecturers, development officers, and practitioners in the areas of rigid-body modeling, hydrodynamics, simulation of marine craft, control and estimation theory, decision-support systems and sensor fusion. www.wiley.com/go/fossen_marine


About the Author:

Professor Thor Fossen, Department of Engineering Cybernetics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway
Thor Fossen was appointed Professor in Guidance, Navigation and Control at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, NTNU in 1993, and now teaches mathematical modeling of marine craft and control theory. He is one of the founders of the company Marine Cybernetics, where he was Vice President in R&D between 2002 and 2007.
Professor Fossen was a senior scientific advisor for ABB, Kongsberg and MARINTEK in 2002. He was involved in the design of nonlinear and passive state estimators for marine vessels, autopilots, trajectory tracking and maneuvering control, identification of ship dynamics from sea-trials and strapdown DGPS/INS navigation systems. He was granted a patent for weather optimal positioning control of marine vessels in 1998 and in 2002 this work won the Automatica Prize Paper Award. Professor Fossen has authored 250 scientific papers and three international textbooks, one of which being the John Wiley and Sons publication Guidance and Control of Ocean Vehicles in 1994. In 2008 his paper entitled 'Nonlinear Observer for Vehicle Estimation' won the Arch T. Colwell Merit Award at the SAE 2008 World Congress.
