Research on 3D Simulation Technology Applied in Navigation-Aid Management

Application of 3D simulation technology in management of navigation-aid helps a lot for authorities to more scientific intuitively right placement, monitoring and maintaining the navigation-aid. Through deep research on the "3D navigation application" IALA recommendation and the analysis of international and domestic recent advances in high-tech information technology in the field of navigation applications, as well as combine navigation-aid custody of the day-to-day operational needs. This paper develop an exploration into management and monitoring of navigation-aid which based on 3D simulation technology, simultaneously, by the use of high-fidelity 3D visual simulation and ship handling simulator, the concrete simulation inspections applied research on the navigation-aid layout was underway. This paper briefly introduces the research of the application of 3D simulation technology in management of navigation-aid. And associated with the status of main channel of Xiamen, from two application layers--- one is inspection of navigation-aid interval, the other is verification of the most suitable position for navigation-aid in turning point of channel, this paper presents the way of navigation-aid layout by help from full mission ship handling simulator.
