Review of Intelligent Ship Path Planning Algorithms

Abstract

Intelligent ship route planning has become an important research direction in the field of shipping in recent years. This paper first provides an overview of the basic theory of intelligent ship route planning. Secondly, various intelligent ship route planning algorithms are introduced, including methods based on A* algorithm, artificial potential field algorithm, RRT algorithm, and reinforcement learning. These algorithms analyze information such as ocean environment, predict sea conditions and traffic conditions, and consider ship dynamics and navigation safety constraints to provide efficient and safe navigation routes for ships. Finally, this paper points out the key issues and future development directions in intelligent ship route planning. The continuous innovation and application of intelligent ship route planning algorithms will provide more intelligent and efficient ship transportation services for the shipping industry, promoting the sustainable development of the shipping industry.
