Berthing route generation system

Abstract

Provided is a berthing route generation system capable of improving berthing accuracy by aligning a bearing before a docking point. The berthing route generation system that generates a route for making a ship dock at a berthing facility generates the route that has a berthing point, which is set near the berthing facility and includes a target position and a target bearing, a start point at which a berthing operation starts, a midpoint, which includes the target position and the substantially same target bearing as the berthing point, and that connects the start point, the midpoint, and the berthing point. The midpoint is a position that is offset from the berthing point at a predetermined distance in a direction substantially parallel to a berthing surface of the berthing facility. The berthing route generation system generates a straight-line path that linearly connects the berthing point and the midpoint.
