Predict Maneuvering Indices Using AIS Data by Ridge Regression

Since Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) was widely used in navigation industry, it has not only greatly benefited ship operations to keep encountered vessels visible to each other, but also fosters the relevant researches. Because AIS message contain vessel's identity, position, course, speed and so on, the application of AIS data make it...

AIS data analysis for vessel behavior during strong currents and during encounters in the Botlek area in the Port of Rotterdam

Maritime traffic safety and capacity raise enormous attention nowadays, especially in ports and inland waterways with high traffic density and restricted waterway geometry. However, a limited number of factors is considered in existing maritime models. Especially influences of external factors (wind, visibility and current), vessel encounters...

Nautical traffic simulation with multi-agent system

This paper describes a microscopic nautical traffic simulation model based on multi-agent system. The ship traffic is produced from the behavior of autonomous agents that represent ships. Especially, we look at the behaviors for collision avoidance in different encountering situations with different local environmental conditions. The behavior...
