Google Summer of Code 2025 midterm blog post
Introduction
Welcome to the midterm update on my progress with the WeatherRoutingTool tool as part of Google Summer of Code 2025.
In the initial phase of GSoC 2025, my primary focus has been on refining and enhancing the genetic algorithm utilized in the WeatherRoutingTool (WRT) for ship route optimization. My methodology began with a precise definition of the optimization challenge, followed by a thorough comprehension of the algorithm’s existing implementation. I also established a performance baseline to facilitate quantitative assessment of subsequent improvements.
