Ais Data-Based For Statistics And Analysis Of Maritime Traffic Dangerous Features: A Case Study Of San Diego Costal Water

For analyzing the distribution characteristics of maritime traffic dangers and ensure the safety of ships navigating at sea, plotting the ship's trajectory and making statistic based on the relevant dynamic data that can be extracted and analyzed from the Automatic Indentification System (AIS) information, the Distance to Closet Point of Approach (DCPA) between any two ships have been computed and applied. Through constructing the innovative three-dimensional bubbles chart to reflect the spatial characteristics from the DCPA matrix. Utilizing the Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) method, draws the heat map in the vicinity of San Diego sea area, measures the traffic danger characteristics of the costal sea area, and compares the analysis results with ArcGIS Pro 2.3. It reflects that the analysis results are consistent with the actual situation. The heat map has the powerful scientificity and practicability, can accurately measure the traffic distribution in the sea area, and provides auxiliary references for the planning and design of the ship's routing system and maritime traffic safety management.
