Horizontal well's path planning: An optimal switching control approach

In this paper, we consider a three-dimensional horizontal well's path planning problem, where the well's path evolves as a combination of several constant-curvature smooth turn segments. The problem is formulated as an optimal switching control problem subject to continuous state inequalit...
