Abstract: A method of monitoring accelerations on a vessel includes measuring acceleration on the vessel using one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are communicatively coupled to a computing unit. Real-time acceleration information representative of an acceleration on the vessel based at least in part on the measured acceleration from the one or more sensors is generated. Acceleration prediction information representative of predicted wave slam using the computing unit is generated. Using the acceleration prediction information, automatic control of trim, steering, or throttle controls of the vessel is performed in a fashion computed to reduce the effects of the predicted wave slam.

Abstract: A method of monitoring wave slam on a vessel includes measuring acceleration forces from mechanical shocks on the vessel using one or more sensors communicatively coupled to a computing unit. Generating real-time acceleration information representative of the wave slam based at least in part on the data obtained from the sensors. Generating acceleration prediction information representative of a predicted wave slam based at least in part on the generated real-time acceleration information. Presenting at least one of the generated real-time acceleration information or acceleration prediction information to an intended recipient.
