Autopilot: heading control

written by Nicolas Magdelaine

The Ship Heading Control zip file contains four ready to run Java programs (jar files) and pdf documentation. The simulations display a ship (vessel) with a heading that is controlled by an autopilot. Each simulation implements a different control law (P, PI, PID, 2 degree of freedom PID) so that user can test and compare performance with different control law parameters.
