Abstract:Autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) have started to operate in many safety-critical scenarios where rich sensor information is required for situational awareness, environmental perception, motion planning, collision avoidance and navigational control. A timely diagnosis of faulty onboard sensors is therefore essential for ensuring maritime safety and reliability. In this paper, a model-based fault diagnosis scheme is presented for ASVs affected by multiple sensor faults. Various monitoring modules comprising nonlinear observers are employed for the detection of faults occurring in the vessel's navigational sensors. Further, multiple fault isolation is performed based on a combinatorial decision logic, achieved by grouping the available sensors into multiple sensor sets. The efficacy of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through a simulation example of a vessel trajectory tracking scenario.
