Paper Title
A Study on Test-Bed Design using Ship Handling Simulator for Performance Evaluation of Autonomous Navigation Algorithm

Abstract
The autonomous navigation algorithm is to establish a voyage plan for autonomous vessels and to control the maneuverability of the vessel by determining the current state of the vessel. In order to test the performance of the autonomous navigation algorithm, the real surface ship test should be performed. However, due to cost and risk issues, a method of using the ship handling simulation system is suggested. In this paper, we designed a test-bed to evaluate the performance of the autonomous navigation algorithm by extending the function of the ship handling simulation system Keywords - Ship Handling Simulator, Autonomous Navigation Algorithm, Situation Awareness, Navigation Control, Performance Evaluation
