This project aims to develop a decision-support tool to improve shipping operations in ice-covered waters. The tool will support tactical navigation decisions to optimize routing in ice-covered waters on a time horizon of a couple of hours to a few days. It will have the ability to support decision making across a range of levels of ship autonomy, including providing on-demand routing advice to a bridge crew on board, serving as a primary source of tactical decisions, and autonomously navigating an optimal route from departure to destination.
