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)
