- Additional information
- An international collaboration, this study provides a novel control method which significantly reduces vertical movements of a passenger ship which is highly related to sea-sickness. Highly significant given seasickness levels of passengers on board should be reduced sufficiently for passenger comfort, safety and crew operability. It’s the first time an MPC strategy is used for reducing vertical ship motion by use of anti-pitching. Also the first time actuator amplitude and rate saturation problems have been jointly taken into consideration in this control problem. Published in one of the best journals in the field, the output led to EPSRC grant EP/R026173/1.
