Path-Following Control Method for Surface Ships Based on a New Guidance Algorithm

A new type of path-following method has been developed to steer marine surface vehicles along desired paths. Path-following is achieved by a new hyperbolic guidance law for straight-line paths and a backstepping control law for curved paths. An optimal controller has been improved for heading contro...
