Second generation onboard system

The aim of the project is to develop and implement an improved sea state estimation procedure. The following topics have been identified as most important:

• Dynamic selection of ship responses to be used in the sea state 
• Check for faulty signals 
• Inclusion of fatigue damage estimations in the operational criteria 
• Power prediction estimates based on semi-empirical formulas and proper estimation of added resistance in waves

The project should results in an on-board software system able to run real time on a standard PC and using input from standard sensors like accelerometers and strain gauges.

The expected starting date is 1 August 2010.
