Abstract: Urban canyon is categorized as hard environment for positioning of a dynamic vehicle due to low number and also bad configuration of in-view satellites. In this paper, a tuning procedure is proposed to adjust the important factors in Kalman Filter (KF) using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The authors tested the algorithm on a dynamic vehicle in an urban canyon with hard condition and compare...

In order to study the performance of dynamic positioning system during S-lay operations, dynamic positioning system is simulated with the hull-stinger-pipe coupling effect. The roller of stinger is simulated by the generalized elastic contact theory. The stinger is composed of Morrison members. Force on pipe is calculated by lumped mass method. Time domain of fully coupled barge model is analyz...
