An Application of ANN to Automatic Ship Berthing Using Selective Controller [PDF]
TransNav, 2007 This paper deals with ANN(Artificial Neural Networks) and its application to automatic ship berthing. As ship motions are expressed by a multi-term non-linear model, it is very difficult to find optimal methods for automatic ship berthing.
