Abstract: To aid in the extension of the short navigating season in the Canadian Artic a route selection optimization procedure has been developed. This route selection procedure operates on the strategic navigation support level which has a spatial scale of several hundred kilometres and a decision horizon of 3 to 4 days. The optimization procedure is formulated as an optimal control problem and is solved by a synthesis of the maximum principle and the dynamic programming method. The potential of this optimization procedure is demonstrated by an application to two hypothetical route selection problems and one field example.
