Abstract
The route setting method is provided with: an underwater waypoint input step for inputting underwater waypoints of the underwater vehicle; a target value setting step for setting initial target values at the underwater waypoints; an underwater navigation simulation step for simulating an underwater navigation route of the underwater vehicle by using water bottom topography data and the target values on the basis of a dynamics model of the underwater vehicle; and a target value update step for updating the target values on the basis of an objective function which is calculated on the basis of the underwater navigation route obtained through the simulation in the underwater navigation simulation step. Optimum target values are derived by repeating the underwater navigation simulation step and the target value update step.
