Concept of Route Planning and Cost Analysis for Travelling through the Arctic Northeast Passage Using a 3D Geographic Information System
نویسندگان
چکیده
System To plan undeveloped theoretically new optimal routes between Asia and Europe via the Arctic Northeast Passages, using a 3D geographic information system, voyage paths are simulated in a 3D visual form. This ensures that the distances are calculated accurately, and that other voyage data is also easily deciphered and presented in a manner familiar to users. This study compares the optimal Arctic Northeast Passages with traditional routes through the Suez Canal for dynamic analysis of the cost efficiency of major ports between Asia and Europe. Although some routes are greatly benefited by travel through the Arctic, the environmental impact and seasonal opening of the waterway should also be considered. It is noted that the current 3-D GIS used in this paper is not suitable for practical route planning, this work only brings out that such 3D presentation can be implementable within an official accredited ECDIS for future use. KEYWORDS 1. Arctic Northeast Passage. 2. Route planning. 3. Route cost analysis. 4. 3D geographic information system (GIS).
