Construction and Implementation of a Knowledge Base for Berthing and Unberthing of Large Vessels
To ease the workload of ship's offices and pilots,and to enhance the efficiency of berthing and unberthing of large vessels,this study aims to consolidate scattered knowledge into a specialized repository.By emphasizing the berthing process,considering the distinct attributes and influential factors of berthing and un-berthing large vessels,and drawing upon relevant theories on knowledge base,Visual Prolog is utilized to con-struct a specialized knowledge base.Initial simulations are carried out using sublibrary for the configuration of pilot and tugboat as well as for environment,the results indicate that the knowledge base is able to provide safety assurance to the berthing and unberthing of large vessels.
