Advanced Navigation Route Optimization for an Oceangoing Vessel
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new weather routing method is proposed that accounts for ship maneuvering motions, ocean currents, wind, and waves through a time domain computer simulation. The maneuvering motions are solved by differential equations of motion for every moment throughout the voyage. Moreover, the navigation route, expressed in terms of a Bézier curve, is optimized for minimum fuel consumption by the Powell method. Although the optimized route is longer than the great circle route, simulation results confirm a significant reduction in fuel consumption. This method is widely applicable to finding optimal navigation routes in other areas.

In maritime traffic, a route is one or more known tracks along which navigation takes place or there is intention to sail. Meteorological factors are important if the route exceeds the distance of 1500M [1]. Meteorological navigation is the selection of a navigational route in view of meteorological factors and control of vessel during heavy weather conditions and safe navigation aimed at the p...

A real time traffic control tool was developed for safe route navigation of vessels in the Strait of Istanbul. Using channel geometry, bathymetry, counter traffic, and surface currents as input, the model simulates possible maneuvers according to probable hydrodynamic conditions. The decision making algorithm starts after computing the probable trajectory tree of the vessel by forward-mapping i...
