Xu, H.T. and Guedes Soares, C. (2025), Review of system identification for manoeuvring modelling of marine surface ships, Journal of Marine Science and Application, Vol. 24(3), 459-478.
A state-of-the-art review is presented of the mathematical manoeuvring models for surface ships and the parameter estimation methods that have been used to build mathematical manoeuvring models for surface ships. In the first part, the classical manoeuvring models, such as the Abkowitz model, MMG, Nomoto and their revised versions, are revisited and the model structure with the hydrodynamic coefficients is also presented. Then, manoeuvring tests, including both the scaled model tests and sea trials, are introduced with the fact that the test data is critically important to obtain reliable results using parameter estimation methods. In the last part, selected papers published in journals and international conferences are reviewed and the statistical analysis of the manoeuvring models, test data, system identification methods and environmental disturbances used in the paper is presented.
