The thesis research solves the scientific and technical problem of spatial and
temporal orientation and support of the vessel to optimize the throughput of the
vessel by increasing the efficiency of safe movement in the implementation of
shunting operations at all stages of the flight "from berth to berth", using physical,
logistical, heuristic methods , system approach and methods of situational control at
technical provision of vessels with modern means of navigation and active control to
counteract electromagnetism, gravitational, inertial natural loading and perturbation
by maneuvering course and speed at steady and transient modes of operation
according to international, state and industry standards, rules and mandatory
regulations of the port or hydraulic structures on navigation safety.
The purpose of the study was to: reduce the destructive impact on ships and
hydraulic structures of natural disasters and extreme weather events; efficient and
safe operation of modern vessels adapted to route restrictions; safety of slowed down
and accelerated movement of the vessel in the port waters; creating conditions for
continuous navigation in the areas of the branched approach channel to sea and river
ports.
The main objectives of the study was: increase of efficiency of management of
the structure of vessels pushing on the rivers and estuaries of Ukraine; creation of
technologies of safe navigation on the waters of the sea trade port (STP) while
improving the cargo management system according to the STP development strategy
of Ukraine; improving the organization and management of vessel traffic at the stage
of reconstruction of the multi-knee canal to sea and river ports.
The scientific value of the study is determined by the quality of the main
scientific tasks. The applicant personally and under his leadership obtained scientific
results, where in solving scientific and technical problems, an analysis of existing and
future forecasts of intercontinental, continental, coastal and inland waterways and for
the first time identified unresolved current issues of theory and practice of effective
and safe traffic control of modern vehicles.
The methodological feature of the study is the independence of a systematic
approach to each of the problems with the subsequent final combination of results on
area-temporal characteristics. In this regard, the diversity of natural phenomena,
transport networks and their objects, processes, consumers of information and vessels
are combined into theoretical, numerical and experimental research methods.
Theoretical methods are inherent in solving new problems that have not been studied
before, or have been studied in the distant past, or when the methods of previous
research were outdated, irrational and require improvement of computational models,
methods and algorithms that implement them. Simulation methods will be used to
analyze formalized mathematical models of movement and maneuvering of ships,
especially on training computer equipment. Experimental methods are used to verify
the results obtained by the author using simulation models.
The practical value and effectiveness of the work lies in the fact that the results
obtained in the dissertation have been used not only by customers for almost 10
years, but also by other legal entities.
Key words: efficiency, navigation, vessels, movement, quality, control system,
safety, mathematical modeling, optimality.
