조선소 생산 작업 지원을 위한 VR 기반 협업 시뮬레이션에 관한 연구

In shipbuilding production, several types of cranes are simultaneously used to effectively handle a building block which is more than hundred tons. For this, one or more operators operate each crane, and the cooperation among the operators is very important. In the previous studies, the maximum tension of wire ropes of the cranes and motion of the block were analyzed computationally during lifting operation based on fixed scenarios with simulation. This couldn’t reflect the interaction during the operation which can cause unexpected results. Therefore, a collaborative simulation system for production in shipyard was developed in this study. The developed system is comprised of three parts. The first part is an input device which generates signals such as hoisting up and down of the wire ropes of the cranes. The second part is a dynamics engine which receives the signals from several operators and reflects them as a simulation scenario. The last part is a display device which is used to share simulation results between the workers and visualizes the simulation results in multi-views on the network. Finally, the developed system was applied to a block erection process which is operated by three crane operators and one commander. As a result, it is shown that the developed system can be used to simulate or train the collaborative work of the operators in shipyard.
