Method and Apparatus for Routing Ocean Going Vessels to Avoid Treacherous Environments
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for generating a route for a vessel to travel from a start point to and end point, the computer implemented method comprising:
- identifying a start point and an end point for the vessel;
obtaining a forecast of wave conditions during a period of time;
obtaining a model of the vessel, wherein the model includes parameters used to calculate a response of the vessel to the wave conditions; and
generating a route from the start point to the endpoint for the vessel to travel on using the model of the vessel and the forecast of the wave conditions, wherein the route avoids a treacherous environment and meets a set of goals.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for generating a route for a vessel to travel from a start point to an end point. A start point and an end point for the vessel are identified. A forecast of wave conditions during a period of time is obtained. A model of the vessel is obtained, wherein the model includes parameters used to calculate a response of the vessel to the wave conditions. A route is generated from the start point to the end point for the vessel to travel on using the model of the vessel and the forecast of the wave conditions, wherein the route avoids conditions that may cause a treacherous environment and meets a set of goals.
