The present invention relates to a system and a method for automatically docking a vessel on a pier. More specifically, the system and the method for automatically docking a vessel on a pier can safely dock a vessel by measuring the actual distance between the vessel and the pier using a distance-detecting sensor installed on the vessel, and automatically controlling the driving apparatus of the vessel according to the measured actual distance. The system and the method for automatically docking a vessel on a pier of the present invention enable convenient docking of the vessel on the pier by automatically controlling the engine output of the vessel and a clutch in the neutral position according to the actual distance between the pier and the vessel docking thereon. Also, the system and the method allow a user to easily recognize the distance to the pier by displaying the actual distance on a display apparatus in real time. The system and the method allow the user to immediately recognize the risk of collision between the vessel and the pier using a warning device. Besides, the system and the method do not require additional equipment by utilizing conventional sonar installed in the vessel as the distance-detecting sensor. |
