Parameter optimization of sea waterway system dredged to the specified depth case of the modernized Świnoujście-Szczecin fairway
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2016, Vol 40, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents a methodology for designing and optimizing the parameters of reconstructed marine waterways dredged to a certain depth. The reconstruction comes down to a particular deepening and widening of the waterway to permit operation of longer, broader and deeper drawing ships. The methodology, based on a systemic approach to the design and optimization of waterways, uses the method developed at the Marine Traffic Engineering Centre (MTEC), Maritime University of Szczecin and methods of computer simulation. The optimization criterion used is the minimization of the aggregated costs of construction and operation of the waterway and its navigation systems.<br/><br/>
