More precisely, we find the time-optimal trajectories and characterize them as geodesics of Randers metrics away from the danger zone and geodesics of (not necessarily Randers) Finsler metrics where they touch the boundary of the danger zone. We demonstrate some of the important behavior of these trajectories by examples.
