A Study of Maneuvering Control for an Air Cushion Vehicle Based on Back Propagation Neural Network

【摘要】 A back propagation (BP) neural network mathematical model was established to investigate the maneuvering control of an air cushion vehicle (ACV). The calculation was based on four-freedom-degree model experiments of hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. It is necessary for the ACV to control the velocity and the yaw rate as well as the velocity angle at the same time. The yaw rate and the velocity angle must be controlled correspondingly because of the whipping, which is a special characteristic for the ACV. The calculation results show that it is an effcient way for the ACV’s maneuvering control by using a BP neural network to adjust PID parameters online.更多还原
