Evaluation Model of Ship Berthing Behavior Based on AIS Data

Abstract

In recent years, the research on ship behavior and ship berthing behavior is a hot topic in the navigation theory research, but the research on ship berthing behavior evaluation is relatively less. Based on the navigation theory, the characteristics of ship berthing behavior (including course, course changes, speed, speed changes and ship position) are extracted, and the berthing behavior evaluation index system is established. According to the characteristics of each behavior, the mathematical description is given for quantitative analysis. Based on the principle of “safety, stability and efficiency”, the evaluation standard is determined for each evaluation index, and the evaluation model is established. The Z-score method is used to standardize the evaluation index data, and the critical method is used to calculate the objective weight of each evaluation index; finally, the model is used to get the evaluation results of each berthing behavior. In this paper, the evaluation model is tested by using the one month’s AIS (Automatic Identification System) berthing data of Tianjin port, and the evaluation results are in line with the actual navigation.
