Y. Yavin et al., COMPUTATION OF FEASIBLE CONTROL TRAJECTORIES FOR THE NAVIGATION OF A SHIP AROUND AN OBSTACLE IN THE PRESENCE OF A SEA CURRENT, Mathematical and computer modelling, 21(3), 1995, pp. 99-117
A ship has to move from a point A to a point B and, on its way, has to
circumvent an obstacle. In addition, the presence of a sea current is
assumed. Using a realistic model of a tanker ship, a method is propos
ed for computing feasible control trajectories for the navigation of t
he ship.
