description To address the unmeasured velocity, external disturbance and internal model uncertainty for following the path of an under-actuated ship, the paper presents a sliding mode control method based on the radial basis function(RBF) neural network and the velocity observer. To enhance the RBF performance of approximating the unknown, an arc tangent function was exploited in the RBF neural network to update its weight values. Then, the nonlinear observer was built via the hyperbolic tangent function to deal with the unmeasured velocity of the ship. Furthermore, in order to avoid overshoots when the ship is moving to its way points, the virtual paths of a variable circle based on the turning angle were designed at the joints of the path of the ship to enhance its path following capability. Finally, the simulation results show that the sliding mode controller designed in the paper can force the ship to follow accurately the reference path in case of time-varying disturbances without measured velocity and enhance the path following performance of the ship and the accuracy of the RBF neural network, thus demonstrating its effectiveness.
