  • Patent number: 12157546
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining an optimal route of a maritime ship includes a database configured to store at least one optimization constraint parameter, wherein the at least one optimization constraint parameter includes a constant shaft power of the propel shaft of the maritime ship; and a processor configured to execute a multi-objective route optimization based on the departure location, the destination location, and the at least one optimization constraint parameter to obtain the optimal route of the maritime ship.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12071207
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining an optimal route of a maritime ship includes a database configured to store a service speed of the maritime ship. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to generate a plurality of state nodes, to determine a plurality of time sets, to append the plurality of time sets to the plurality of state nodes to obtain a plurality of appended state nodes, to generate a plurality of edges based on the plurality of appended state nodes, to generate a graph based on the plurality of appended state nodes and the plurality of edges, to apply a preliminarily generated optimal route algorithm on the graph to obtain a preliminarily defined route path, and to apply a genetic algorithm based on the preliminarily defined route path to obtain the optimal route of the maritime ship.

  • Publication number: 20210272468
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for simulating a maritime environment. The system includes a data duplicator, where an input interface is configured to receive sensor data from a sensor of a maritime vessel, a processor is configured to duplicate the sensor data, a first output interface is configured to provide the sensor data, and a second output interface is configured to provide the duplicated sensor data. The system may also include a training environment simulator, where an input interface is configured to receive the duplicated sensor data, a processor is configured to simulate the maritime environment based on the duplicated senor data, and a display is configured to display a virtual representation of the maritime environment. The system may also include a data processing device, where an input interface is configured to receive the sensor data and a processor is configured to process the sensor data.
