Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of simulation models, and more particularly to a three-dimensional simulation model for ships. Background Art

[0002] As ships become larger and larger, the berthing and unberthing operations of large ships, the towing of unpowered ships or floating objects, and the dynamic positioning of offshore platforms all require the assistance of tugboats. As an auxiliary means of operation, tugboats play a very important role in towing at sea, rescue at sea or in ice areas, salvage, supply of drilling platforms, and assisting large ships in berthing and unberthing. Tugboats themselves are small in tonnage, flexible, and have good maneuverability and large thrust or drag. For safety reasons, large ships or dangerous ships are generally assisted by tugboats when entering and leaving ports. Therefore, the role of tugboats in maritime transportation is indispensable.

[0003] At present, tugboats play an important role in the entry and exit of large ships, the berthing and departure of dangerous goods ships, and emergency rescue in strong winds and waves. They are an important guarantee and prerequisite for port safety production. Tugboat simulators are widely used in the skill training of tugboat drivers, pilots and ship operators. The main function of this type of simulator is to help trainees master the tugboat's operating skills, emergency fault handling capabilities, collaborative operations, etc. through simulation training to improve the safety and efficiency of actual operations. At present, tugboat simulators on the market are usually used to simulate the operation between tugboats and target ships. However, the vision and radar images between ships on the market are not dynamically synchronized, and the relative position and navigation status cannot be displayed in real time. The dynamic interaction between the tugboat and the towed ship cannot be displayed synchronously. At the same time, the existing technology cannot fully reproduce complex sea conditions. Summary of the invention
