- Real-time tracking system for a moored oil tanker : a Kalman filter approachPublication . Malheiros, Paulo; Rosa-Santos, Paulo; Gonçalves, José; Costa, Paulo Gomes da; Moreira, António Paulo G. M.; Veloso-Gomes, Fernando; Taveira-Pinto, FranciscoThis paper presents a tracking system developed to study the behavior of an oil tanker moored at the Berth “A” of the Leixões Oil Terminal, Porto, Portugal. A brief description of the local environmental conditions and the existing operational conditions at that oil terminal are presented. Due to extreme outdoor working conditions a Kalman filter was implemented to ensure the robustness and reliability of the obtained measurements. Tests were performed in laboratory on a physical model of a moored oil tanker at a scale 1/100. The results were compared with a commercial motion capture system installed in laboratory. The presented measurement system was developed as part of the DOLPHIN project that aims to study the behavior of moored ships in harbors.
