Currently, due to the lack of commercial scheduling tools, Jumbo’s commerce department is constrained to manual scheduling. In order to reduce the complexity...

The optimization of ship weather-routing algorithm based on the composite influence of multi-dynamic elements

Over het optimaal routeren van schepen: V. Een geautomatiseerd systeem.

This report concludes a series of previous reports on minimal-time ship routing, dealing both with the problem of determining the least-time track (Bijlsma en Van Rietschote, 1972, I, II, III) and with that of the computation of wavecharts from windcharts (Bijlsma en Folkers, 1973). It contains an (experimental) method for the solution of the...
