Optimization of Waypoints on the Great Circle Route Based on Genetic Algorithm and Fuzzy Logic

Determining the appropriate number and position of waypoints on a great circle route (GCR) helps to shorten the sailing distance, reduce the number of course changes, and well-approximate the GCR through a small number of rhumb line (RL) legs. In this study, a genetic algorithm-based method (i.e., t...
