Abstract

The aim of this paper is to obtain a model for an in- scale fast-ferry model TF-120 including the dynamics and kinematics, using a remote experimentation platform for marine vehicles. The physical model is autonomous and is controlled remotely from a PC using Wi-Fi communications. The identification and validation of the dynamical model is obtained with turning circle maneuverings. In this model are included the kinematical equations. The tests with the autonomous in-scale physical model of the high-speed ship were carried out in the surroundings of the Bay of Santander. With this model, simulations with several turbojets angles are made.
