The newest method to determine your position are satellite systems. These methods are based on the measurement of time arrival of radio signals from satellites to the receiver. Currently, the most popular system is GPS (Global Positioning System). This system is fully controlled by the Department of Defense, and only the U.S. forces and their closest allies have guaranteed accuracy offered by the...
W artykule omówiono przyczyny powstawania drgań skrętnych wałów korbowych w silnikach okrętowych. Przedstawiono również sposoby tłumienia drgań skrętnych oraz zaprezentowano ogólną metodykę doboru wiskotycznego tłumika drgań skrętnych do danego typu silnika. W pracy zaprezentowano ponadto przykładowe wyniki obliczeń związane z doborem wiskotycznego tłumika drgań skrętnych do sześciocylindrowego silnika.
The paper presents the idea of using advanced machine learning algorithms to aid decision making in ship manoeuvring in real time. Evolutionary neural networks are used in this purpose. In the simulated model of manoeuvring ship a helmsman is treated as an individual in population of competitive helmsmen, which through environmental sensing and evolution processes learn how to navigate safely through...
This article is the effect of research works on modeling of data transfer between ship and ship or ship and shore station consist with assumption of e-Navigation system. The article attempts to analyze how the tools defined as Augmented Reality(AR) can be adapted and used in the process of navigation and generally in maritime transport. Concept of Augmented Reality is not new. It gained popularity...
The paper deals with free vibrations of a uniform asymmetric shaft. As an example of asymmetry, a shaft of rectangular cross section is chosen. It is assumed that the shaft is simply supported in two bearings and rotates with constant angular velocity, and that the damping forces can be neglected. Bending vibrations of the shaft caused by an initial disturbance of its equilibrium position are considered...
A navigational chart is the primary source of information for the navigator. The main component that contributes significantly to the safety of navigation is the information on the depth of the area. A sonar, which uses acoustic waves is a device for bathymetric measurements and it measures the vertical distance between the head and the bottom or an object located at the bottom. For the purposes of...
The paper deals with fatigue safety of structural elements made of orthotropic metallic materials and subjected to non-zero mean stochastic loads. Multiaxial stationary stress is considered under assumption that the power spectral densities of its components at a given point of the element are known. A reduced stress, equivalent to the original stress in terms of fatigue performance of the material,...
W artykule opisano założenia funkcjonalne i budowę demonstratora technologicznego systemu do lokalizacji osób wewnątrz budynków. Przedstawiono poszczególne węzły sieci radiowej służącej do określania pozycji osób wraz z wyszczególnieniem najważniejszych podzespołów tych węzłów, a także funkcjonowanie całego systemu i możliwości jego dalszej rozbudowy.
Wśród wielu zagrożeń dla współczesnej żeglugi morskiej wymienia się między innymi zagrożenie terroryzmem. Na wodach płytkich może ono przyjmować postać zagrożenia improwizowanymi ładunkami wybuchowymi umieszczanymi na dnie z pokładów dowolnych jednostek, pojawiających się na akwenie w sposób niezauważalny dla kogokolwiek. Jednym z kierunków działań zmierzających do poprawy bezpieczeństwa w tym zakresie...
This article describes the device which may be used to generate false GPS signals and emit them into radio communication channel. Such attack is called GPS spoofing. Each GPS receiver which remains in the range of a spoofing device (called spoofer) indicates time and position coordinates which are predetermined by the spoofer’s operator. Spoofing may be used e.g. in order to disable the terrorist...
