Design and Implementation of Touch-sensitive Console Panel of Ship Maneuvering Simulator

Touch operation is convenient and efficient, it has become the trend of next generation of ship bridge operation. In order to adapt the development of ship operation, improve crew training efficiency and save training costs, it is necessary to exploit a touch-sensitive console panel of Ship Maneuvering Simulator. In the design process, analyzed the components and functions of hardware console panel of ship maneuvering simulator, built the User Interface of software console panel by using WPF framework, and achieved the control function by using C# Language to write the background logical program. The operation of the exploitative touch-sensitive console panel is sensitive, and the display is vivid. It is proven that this touch-sensitive console panel can be used in ship maneuvering simulator to replace hardware console panel.
