Abstract
A method of monitoring accelerations on a vessel includes measuring acceleration on the vessel using one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are communicatively coupled to a computing unit. Real-time acceleration information representative of an acceleration on the vessel based at least in part on the measured acceleration from the one or more sensors is generated. Acceleration prediction information representative of predicted wave slam using the computing unit is generated. Using the acceleration prediction information, automatic control of trim, steering, or throttle controls of the vessel is performed in a fashion computed to reduce the effects of the predicted wave slam.

A method of monitoring accelerations on a vessel, comprising the acts of:
- measuring acceleration on the vessel using one or more sensors, the one or more sensors communicatively coupled to a computing unit;
- generating real-time acceleration information representative of an acceleration on the vessel based at least in part on the measured acceleration from the one or more sensors;
- generating acceleration prediction information representative of predicted wave slam using the computing unit, and
- using the acceleration prediction information, performing automatic control of trim, steering, or throttle controls of the vessel in a fashion computed to reduce the effects of the predicted wave slam.
