Abstract

Recognition of ship traffic patterns can provide insights into the rules of navigation, maneuvering, and collision avoidance for ships at sea. This is essential for ensuring safe navigation at sea and improving navigational efficiency. With the popularization of the Automatic Identification System (AIS), numerous studies utilized ship trajectories to identify maritime traffic patterns. However, the current research focuses on the spatiotemporal behavioral feature clustering of ship trajectory points or segments while lacking consideration for multiple factors that influence ship behavior, such as ship static and maritime geospatial features, resulting in insufficient precision in ship traffic pattern recognition. This study proposes a ship traffic pattern recognition method that considers multi-attribute trajectory similarity (STPMTS), which considers ship static feature, dynamic feature, port geospatial feature, as well as semantic relationships between these features. First, A ship trajectory reconstruction method based on grid compression was introduced to eliminate redundant data and enhance the efficiency of trajectory similarity measurements. Subsequently, to quantify the degree of similarity of ship trajectories, a trajectory similarity measurement method is proposed that combines ship static and dynamic information with port geospatial features. Furthermore, trajectory clustering with hierarchical methods was applied based on the trajectory similarity matrix for dividing trajectories into different clusters. The quality of the similarity measurement results was evaluated by quality criterion to recognize the optimal number of ship traffic patterns. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified using actual port ship trajectory data from the Tianjin Port of China, ranging from September to November 2016. Compared with other methods, the proposed method exhibits significant advantages in identifying traffic patterns of ships entering and leaving the port in terms of geometric features, dynamic features, and adherence to navigation rules. This study could serve as an inspiration for a comprehensive exploration of maritime transportation knowledge from multiple perspectives.
