Mathematical model of passenger catamarans optimization for a given sea route
Abstract: The present paper shows the results of a study of potentially effective sea routes for operation of high-speed passenger catamarans in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. A mathematical model has been developed for determination of the number of passenger catamarans and assessing the possibility of their navigation in these sea routes.
The optimal variants of ships arrangement to the sea routes were analyzed with taking into account the seasonality and regional specifics of transportation lines. The possibility of new sea routs developing with point of view the increasing the intensity and volumes of tourist passenger traffic is considered. At present math model the economic efficiency calculation of high-speed passenger catamarans has been improved in the terms of taking into account the dynamics of passenger traffic. The ship load coefficient now depends on the number of seats and ships operating on the sea route. The calculation method of construction and operating costs of high-speed catamaran were improved. It was found that the choice of the economic criteria has influence on the results of optimization of design characteristics of high-speed passenger catamarans.
Keywords: Socialist Republic of Vietnam, high-speed passenger catamarans, optimization of design characteristics, number of ships, promising routes
