Abstract
Fuzzy system is applied to the anti-rolling device of a high-speed catamaran boat in order to improve the passenger comfort. A PID control was initially employed in the system, however no significant improvement was observed for passengers although instrumental data showed good results. The present fuzzy system has shown not only good instrumental data but also provided good comfort ride for passengers. The experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy system for the anti-rolling system of a high-speed catamaran boat, superseding the conventional PID Control. We also propose the prediction model of the anti-rolling system using neural networks.
