Abstract
A boat maneuvering control method for a boat includes acquiring target route information and information about an actual position of the boat, setting a target position based on the target route information and the information about the actual position, acquiring, as a deviation amount, a distance between the target position and the boat in a predetermined direction that intersects with a target route, and controlling a magnitude of a propulsion force of a propulsion device so as to reduce the deviation amount.
Claims26
A boat maneuvering control method for a boat including a propulsion device, the method comprising:
- acquiring target route information about a target route as a route on which the boat is to drift, and information about an actual position of the boat;
- setting a target position based on the target route information and the information about the actual position;
- acquiring, as a deviation amount, a distance between the target position and the boat in a predetermined direction that intersects with the target route;
- and
- performing a drift control to control a magnitude of a propulsion force of the propulsion device so as to reduce the deviation amount.
A boat maneuvering control system for a boat, the system comprising:
- a propulsion device;
- and
- a controller configured or programmed to acquire target route information about a target route on which the boat including the propulsion device is to drift, and information about an actual position of the boat, to set a target position based on the target route information and the information about the actual position, to acquire, as a deviation amount, a distance between the target position and the boat in a predetermined direction that intersects with the target route, and to perform a drift control to control a magnitude of a propulsion force of the propulsion device so as to reduce the deviation amount.
