Abstract :
The maneuverability, besides the security and economy, is another factor to evaluate on the routing of naval vessel. Aiming to the lack of the considering of maneuverability influence existing in traditional automatic shortest routing methods, this paper proposes a method for automatic routing based on comprehensive evaluation on limiting conditions of maneuverability. The proposed method has defined the limiting conditions and their evaluating indicator of turn times, steering angle and minimum leg, has constructed the comprehensive evaluating system of multi-limiting conditions, and has created the optimal route automatically based on comprehensive evaluation of multi-limiting conditions. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed method can overcome the drawback on maneuverability in traditional methods, design the optimal vessel route under different limiting conditions of the maneuverability, and make more rational navigation decision for corresponding marine military operation.
