Heterogeneous Port Traffic of Ships and Seaplanes and its Simulation

Heterogeneous port traffic of general ships and seaplanes and its simulation

Along with the development of the civil seaplane industry in China and all around the world, the number of seaplane piers in port areas will increase. As a consequence, the port traffic will not only increase, it will also become more heterogeneous, consisting of ships and seaplanes. This paper presents a simulation model to describe this mixed...

AIS data analysis for the impacts of wind and current on ship behavior in straight waterways

Due to the increasing ship traffic flow in ports, maritime traffic safety has attracted much atten-tion. In addition to traffic flow, the ship safety in restricted waters is influenced by external navigational fac-tors (visibility, wind and current), encounter situations and human factors on board. In this paper, we investi-gate the effect of...
