Optimum path routing of ships and/or airplanes, taking into account the winds, currents, sea state, temperatures, etc.

Large realtime and climatological databases are available.
The path optimization algorithms are simple and fairly well known (A and A-star are two to start with). The challenge is in suitable heuristics to prune the search space.

You can optimize for minimum time in transit, or minimum fuel cost, or minimum probability of delay, etc.

Very nice example! Thank you

I requested some JPL CDs of images when I was a teenager. I was very impressed at the time. :o)
