Résumé
This paper describes a remote platform to control an in-scale tug. It has all of the elements required to emulate the installation of a real vessel. The in-scale tug model was built taking into account the hydrodynamic characteristics of the fullscale vessel. This model is autonomous and is controlled remotely from a PC using Wi-Fi communications. With the in-scale physical model, tests are carried out in open waters that can not be made in a model basin due to its operative dimensional limitation. A simulation of a manoeuvring model is developed based on geometrical definitions and compared to real data. Furthermore, the platform is appropriate for performing the sea trials most widely used with full-scale ships and its possibilities in education are discussed.
