Abstract: Abstract The paper presents a method to validate and refine the ship’s route during the voyage. The method consists in computing several characteristic coefficients that represent different aspects of the route, every time the ship arrives at a route’s waypoint. When the ship moves in a way that was not prescribed by the route, the coefficients deviate from those computed for the prescribed route. It is therefore possible to determine whether the actual route of the ship satisfies safety and optimality requirements. The coefficients may also change as a result of external impact or event. In case of such events, it is important to determine whether these changes affect the route’s safety and optimality. Therefore, the process of route temporal development can be expressed through changes of the coefficients and it is possible to predict future route changes based on the history of changes of the coefficients. The paper describes the proposed characteristic coefficients, the process of route refinement and the method for prediction and validation of the route’s future changes.
