Intelligent Evaluation Mechanism for Cloud-Edge-End based Next Generation Ship Simulator towards Maritime Pilot Training

We design intelligent evaluation mechanism for cloud-edge-end based next generation ship simulator towards maritime pilot training in this paper. Firstly, we introduce the concept of “cloud-edge-end” and design the next generation ship simulator system architecture. In the proposed architecture, the edge node can perform artificial intelligence to achieve the distributed evaluation for maritime pilot training. The instructor station is set at the cloud nodes. Then, an intelligent evaluation scheme with Back Propagation (BP) neural networks is designed to decrease artificial evaluation error and improve the objectivity of evaluation according to Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. The experiment results show that the evaluation accuracy of the proposed scheme is higher than the traditional artificial evaluations.
