RDE´s Experience

Linking Maritime Simulators since 1986 – 1st project SUSAN Hamburg SHS with Radar simulator RASI Conrad Hamburg – 1998 MSCW Warnemuende SHS with SES and real VTS via local network

Experience in Distributed Interactive Simulation “DIS” standard since 1998 – Linking tank simulators to each other – Today all military and almost all civil simulator products from RDE support DIS

RDE as Partner in MONALISA EU Project – MONALISA 2.0 project, currently underway with a consortium of 39 partners and a

budget of 24 million euro, has defined Sea Traffic Management “STM”, assessed the strengths and weaknesses of the current maritime ship-and transport systems, operations and interactions, and defined a target concept and key performance indicators for STM

– The main goal of the project is to provide a validated concept for STM and to demonstrate the STM concept in test beds and the European Maritime Simulator Network “EMSN”.

Challenges and Opportunities in Developing Standards of Communication

General Remarks / Questions – Link Requirements Local simulators Remote simulators Simulators of same or different manufacturers Integration depth

(engine only, thrusters, up to included automation and voice & video communication systems)

Expandability

Link



Challenges – Define general requirements / use cases – Solve contradictory requirements – Clearly define Data Content

(what data to transfer) – Clearly define Communication Protocol

(how to transfer data) – Synchronisation – Recognize Timing and latency – Investigate, recognise and solve / accept limitations – Generate acceptance of new

communication standard

Link



Opportunities – Use available standards – Extend existing standards – Involve specialists

Outcome – Ship Handling Simulators can be linked with

Ship Engine Simulators of same or different manufacturers

– Complete vessel team training

Interfacing Ship Handling Simulators with Engine Room Simulators

Functional Principle Own ship model within SHS is

- among others - composed of: – Propulsion (Engine) model – Thrusters model – Propeller model – Rudder model – Etc.

– Engine & Thruster models are optimised for: • Behavioural accuracy in terms of ship

handling from the bridge operators point of view

• Operational capabilities as required for bridge operation.

7



Functional Principle SES models - among others - are

composed of: – Engine model – Thruster model – Cooling system model – Lubrication system model – Generator model – Etc.

– Models are optimised for

• Detailed accuracy of engine and auxiliary system behaviour

• Detailed simulation of engine and auxiliary system operation.

8



Functional Principle By linking SHS to SES Simulators,

the SHS - • Engine model, • Thrusters model and / or • Rudder model

is replaced by the Engine Simulator models and its auxiliary systems – Engine and Thrusters can be

operated from the Bridge and additionally from • ECR • ER

– Vessel operation as on board

– ANS 6000 / Engine Simulator link capabilities: • RDE Engine Room simulator • Siemens Engine Room simulator • L3 Engine Room simulator • In general: Any 3rd party Engine

Room simulator.

DIS Protocol - Capabilities – Standardized protocols for linking

simulators in real-time • over large distances • of different manufacturers /

technologies

– DIS - Distributed Interactive Simulation: • according IEEE 1278 • packet-oriented binary data

exchange via UDP (multicast or broadcast) and TCP

• fast data exchange rate (real-time).

DIS Protocol - Key Benefits • International standard protocol for

simulation networks (IEEE 1278) • Open standard with no license costs • Very simple infrastructural

requirements • Wide range of proven tools for

maintenance, support and analysis • Easy to implement

(if not available already) • Supported by a variety of COTS tools • Simulator vendors do not need to

open up their proprietary software towards others

• Proven in MONALISA 2.0 project
