Abstract

The purpose of the article is to develop a method for testing a deep learning neural network for calculating the ship's path to improve the performance of the corresponding numerical model in various navigation situations. Research and development of methods to improve calculation accuracy is of great importance for solving navigation problems. One of the approaches to improving the accuracy of numbers is the use of deep learning neural networks. Deep learning neural networks can model dependencies with high accuracy and have performance advantages over traditional approaches. However, the development and testing of such networks in navigation tasks requires additional research, primarily in terms of considering the specifics of the subject area, rather than well-known approaches to testing deep neural networks in a generalised sense. The presented method of testing a deep learning neural network for calculating the ship's path in various navigation situations is based on the preliminary use of a simulation model of ship motion, which allows simulating various navigation situations. Three classes of navigational situations are obtained that can be observed in real ship operation conditions. The assumptions of the linear theory of sea waves are used to model regular waves. A deep neural network is trained on data obtained from a simulation model and used to predict the ship's trajectory. The accuracy of the neural network is assessed by comparing its predictions with the ship's trajectory obtained from the simulation model. The test results showed that the neural network can accurately predict the ship's trajectory in various navigation situations. The method can be used to evaluate the accuracy of deep learning neural networks for calculating the ship's path in various navigation situations.
