METHOD OF CHOOSING A BETTER ROUTE IN SHIPPING

This paper presents a different view on the evidence theory and Dijkstra's algorithm. In this paper, the algorithm will be used in the further analysis to additional paths between nodes can be found in the maritime sector. In many cases, the best solution for a single criterion is not sufficient. It would be search for more effective solutions of the starting point to use for subsequent analysis or decision of the captain of the vessel. With innovative thinking mechanisms it is possible to create a decision support system based on known Dijkstra's algorithm. Reasoning mechanism is based on the theory of evidence. The intervals were used, where interval means a set of real numbers with the property that any number that lies between two numbers in the set is also included in the set.
