SYSTEM FOR DETECTING POSITION OF BOAT MOORED UNDER ROOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109637 titled 'SYSTEM FOR DETECTING POSITION OF BOAT MOORED UNDER ROOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control system for a boat with GNSS receivers at the bow and stern, allowing the system to determine the approach direction of the boat to a berth and select the appropriate receiver for position determination.
- Control system for boats with GNSS receivers at bow and stern
- Determines approach direction to berth (bow first or stern first)
- Selects appropriate GNSS receiver for position determination based on approach direction
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in marine navigation systems, boat docking assistance systems, and autonomous boat control systems.
Problems Solved
1. Accurately determining the position of a boat during docking maneuvers. 2. Ensuring safe and efficient navigation in crowded or tight spaces.
Benefits
1. Improved accuracy in boat positioning. 2. Enhanced safety during docking procedures. 3. Increased efficiency in boat navigation.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized Boat Docking Control System: Enhancing boat docking procedures for commercial vessels.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be a similar system used in autonomous vehicles for determining approach direction and selecting sensors for position determination.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control system handle changing environmental conditions during boat approach?
The abstract does not provide information on how the control system adapts to changing environmental factors such as weather conditions or water currents.
What is the accuracy of the position determination when using the selected GNSS receiver?
The abstract does not specify the level of accuracy provided by the selected GNSS receiver for determining the boat's position.
Original Abstract Submitted
a control system, adapted for a boat having a first gnss receiver disposed at a bow side of the boat, and a second gnss receiver disposed at a stern side of the boat, the control system includes a control unit including a processor configured to determine whether an approach direction of the boat to a berth is bow first or stern first; and select, based on the approach direction, the first gnss receiver or the second gnss receiver for determining a position of the boat.
