AIS-based analysis of ships´ routeing system

This paper describes a AIS-based model to assist the design of Ships´ routeing system which provide useful insights about complex maritime transportation routes. The AIS analysis model mainly focuses on the transit traffic in the Channel. The AIS provides a method to analyze the vessel traffic density, meeting times and speed conditions in the Channels. An architecture of traffic stress model and a negative binomial regression modeling based on AIS are proposed. The model provides a valuable hint for safety management of vessel traffic. The data provide quantitative information and helps administrators in decision making to achieve desired safety level and improve the efficiency of vessel traffic in ports and waterways in shanghai.
