新JIP：海上间歇无人值守驾驶台
Posted: February 2, 2024
JOIN THE ALERT PROJECT: SAFELY LEAVING THE NAVIGATION BRIDGE UNATTENDED FOR PERIODS OF TIME WHILE AT SEA Within the new JIP initiative Alert we will determine the conditions for when it is safe to periodically leave navigation spaces unattended and at the same time examine whether that improves the safety, working and living situation for the crew […]

abstract = {When considering stationary measurements, the finite length of any practical measurement imposes a random uncertainty component to statistical quantities being researched.

This paper is the fourth in a series of papers considering the analytical derivation and practical estimation of such statistical uncertainties. The previous three papers considered mean values of
random processes. This fourth paper considers variance instead and is analogous to the first paper of the series. Both random and periodic process classes are considered. The analytical derivation of the statistical uncertainty of signal variance is given for random, finite bandwidth noise processes and periodic processes. The former is a general solution while the latter is only valid for the trivial case of sinusoid signals. The reason to include periodic solution is its significant deviation from the finite bandwidth solution. The analytical solutions are verified by means of artificially generated signals. In general, the uncertainty of variance for finite bandwidth processes reduce with the square root of the signal length once measurement length exceeds the inverse bandwidth of the process. Measuring too short may result in a standard uncertainty equal to the variance itself. For periodic signals, the uncertainty of variance reduces with signal length itself. Estimating methods to find the statistical uncertainty of signal variance from a single measurement are given for both classes of processes.

As there are too much elements in the set-up to be discussed down to the last detail, this paper will point out the general components and will go into detail on noise measurements and the calibration of a 6-component frame.

Although not yet completely pinpointed, these disturbances are ascribed to unwanted electromagnetic current, inadequate grounding or engine control switches. Other issues present during measurements were warming of bearings, Bernoulli effects between static and rotating segments of the set-up, and calcification and creep of sensors after long time submergence of the set-up. In the near future extra effort will be put in to tackle these challenges.
