Decentralized control of inland navigation networks with distributaries: Application to navigation canals in the north of France [PDF]

open access: yes2017 American Control Conference (ACC), 2017
Inland navigation networks are large-scale systems with large dead times, nonlinearities and variable time delays. They are composed of interconnected reaches. The management goal is to maintain the water level of each reach around a certain value. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is addressed to fulfill this objective.

Fundamentals of training navigators of ships flying foreign flags when entering the inland waterways of the Russian Federation [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2022
Navigation on inland waterways, such as rivers, canals, fairways via reservoirs and lakes is performed under conditions of a minimum under the keel clearance, hydrodynamic interaction between the ship's hull and underwater limits of the fairway, and the ...

Prospective of an Inland Waterway System of Shipping Canals in Skikda (Algeria)

open access: yesUrban Planning, 2023
Sustainable development projects require careful balancing of economic interests and ecological needs. The case of Skikda, a city in northeast Algeria, located on the Mediterranean coast, illustrates the challenges connected with such a development.

Decentralized Connectivity Maintenance for Multi-Robot Systems Under Motion and Sensing Uncertainties

open access: yesNavigation, 2023
Communication connectivity is desirable for the safe and efficient operation of multi-robot systems. While decentralized algorithms for connectivity maintenance have been explored in recent literature, the majority of these works do not account for robot

Simultaneous Localization and Calibration (SLAC) Methods for a Train-Mounted Magnetometer

open access: yesNavigation, 2023
Magnetic field localization is based on the fact that the Earth’s magnetic field is distorted in the vicinity of ferromagnetic objects. When ferromagnetic objects are in fixed positions, the distortions are also fixed and, thus, contain location ...

Radio-Frequency Interference Considerations for Utility of the Galileo E6 Signal Based on Long-Term Monitoring by ARFIDAAS

open access: yesNavigation, 2023
The extent to which navigation signals in the E6 band may be impacted by shared spectrum allocations might be underappreciated. This paper presents top-level observations from a multi-year international radio frequency interference (RFI) monitoring ...

Accurate Covariance Estimation for Pose Data From Iterative Closest Point Algorithm

open access: yesNavigation, 2023
One of the fundamental problems of robotics and navigation is the estimation of the relative pose of an external object with respect to the observer. A common method for computing the relative pose is the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, where a ...

Conservative Estimation of Inertial Sensor Errors Using Allan Variance Data

open access: yesNavigation, 2023
To understand the error sources present in inertial sensors, both the white (time-invariant) and correlated noise sources must be properly characterized.

Modeling and fault diagnosis of flat inland navigation canals [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 2018
This article regards the development of an analytical redundancy-based approach for detecting and isolating both sensor and actuator faults in flat inland navigation canals. Inland navigation networks are principally used for transport and are composed of many canalized natural rivers and artificial canals characterized by no slope.
