Abstract
The infrared docking aid system was developed and investigated to help small craft such as fishing or recreation boats when they sailed close to the pier or port. The experiment was conducted in water tank with the scaled model boat. The system consisted of the infrared beacon locating at the port and the infrared detection array installed in the modeled boat. The results suggested that the system was capable to navigate the boat to dock in the correct position as the boat came in small angle from beacon.
