Abstract

Computer-implemented methods for mitigating oscillation of a lift cable on a crane are provided. Aspects include obtaining characteristics of a load affixed to the lift cable via a hook, wind conditions in a location of the lift cable, and operational characteristics of the crane. Aspects also include calculating an estimated oscillation of the load based on a simulation of the crane lifting the load in the wind conditions and the operational characteristics of the crane, calculating a counter force to be applied to the lift cable via the hook, wherein the counter force will reduce the oscillation of the lift cable, and instructing a propulsion system affixed to the hook to apply the counter force to the hook.
