Case Study - Net Vessel Movement Model
The Net Vessel Movement Model, or NVM2, is a dynamic mathematical model that Race Recon developed specifically for the longest ever two-man kayak expedition, Crossing the Ditch.
NVM2 is a decision support model that we developed to simulate the expedition several times before the team actually left. We found out about the seasonal impact of the EAC, the influence the sea-anchor had in favourable and not-so favourable conditions, and the amount and type of food and water required to successfully conquer a world first.
When Race Recon analyse a system, such as the World's First Trans-Tasman Kayak Expedition, to be controlled or in this case optimized, we build a mathematical model. We build a descriptive model of the system as a hypothesis of how the system could work, or try to estimate how certain events might affect the system. Similarly, in control of the system, we try out different control approaches in simulations to support decision-making on the actual expedition and forearm the team with likely outcomes given a certain set of circumstances.
Race Recon model's usually describes a system by a set of variables and a set of equations that establish relationships between the variables. The variables represent some properties of the system.
