In a method for determining a route for an underwater vehicle in a region of sea between a starting point and a destination point (S, Z), to determine the optimized shortest possible route, taking into account geographical features in the region of sea and a desired submersion depth of the underwater vehicle, a network of meshes, bounded by edges and interconnected by nodes, is assigned to a section of a sea chart with cartographically indicated depth information encompassing a starting and destination point (S, Z), and a weighting derived from the depth information in the sea chart is allocated to each edge. Starting from the start node (A2) at the starting point as the first current node, a total weighting derived from the weighting of the edges is consecutively assigned to each of the neighboring nodes of the current node, and this is carried out until all nodes have been invoked as the current node. Starting from the destination node (D4) at the destination point, the respective previous node is scanned successively back to the start node (A2) for the smallest total weighting sought, and is output as a route point of the route sought. |
