Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of building an automatic, spare, radar system to coastal navigation. To fix position the system uses the information about buoys surrounding the ship. Accuracy of the system depends on many factors. One of them is the way of locating buoys on the given area of the sea. To make the task of the system easier and to make the position fixed by the system more accurate the buoys should be appropriately arranged. The paper suggests the solution based on genetic algorithms to arrange the buoys. The solution proposed was tested experimentally and results of the tests are presented at the end of the paper.
