INTRODUCTION automatically and autonomously through VHF band. It plays an Due to the advantages of large transportation volume, low important role in collision avoidance and maritime situational cost, low energy consumption and less pollution, waterway awareness. However, in inland waterways, it is commonthat the transportation plays an important role in the comprehensive AIS data-link was obstructed by the river bank and mountains, transportation system in China. Researches on or sometimes the AIS was encountered with the electromagnetic informationization and intelligent system of shipping interference. Consequently, the AIS dynamic data is often lost and mixed with inaccurate, which may lead to misjudgment of management havealways been the concern of the international the traffic situation. To address this problem, a method was shipping industry, and getting real-time traffic information is proposed to enhance the availability of AIS data in this paper. the key to build the intelligent shipping system [1]. Firstly, according to the ships’ maneuverability, a set of factors, Automatic Identification System (AIS) is composed of such as the moving distance, speed, acceleration, and course shore station and ship station.The ship station exploitstheGPS change rate, were designed to screen the inaccurate AIS data. module to obtain the dynamic information of vessels, such as Then, the piecewise cubic Hermiteinterpolationandcubicspline position (presented by longitude and latitude), speed over interpolationwere employed to restore the AIS data. A real AIS ground,course over ground, etc. Meanwhile, the pilot input the trajectory was introduced to validate the accuracy of the two interpolation methods, which proves that the cubic spline static information, such as the MMSI, call sign, gross tonnage, interpolationperformanceisbetter than piecewise cubic Hermite draft and dimension, etc. into the ship station with keyboard. interpolation. Field experiments in Wuhan reach of Yangtze Then, the ship station modulates the dynamic information and River show that the method proposed in this paper is highly static information into AIS messages and conveys the AIS effective. The accuracy of the location is 3.5m, the speed accuracy messages to other ship stations around. According to the IMO is 0.05m/s, and the course accuracy is up to 0.7 degrees, the AIS regulations, the ship station usually sends dynamic AIS data can be accurately repaired. messages every 6 to 30 seconds when the ship is normal voyage [2-5]. The shore station receives and decodes the AIS Keywords—AIS; data availability; ship maneuverability; cubic message transmitted by the ship station, and then displays the spline interpolation;trajectory restoration information of the ships on VTS screen. Therefore, the AIS 978-1-5386-0437-3/17/$31.00©2017 IEEE 981 2017 4th International Conference on TransportationInformation and Safety (ICTIS), August 8-10, 2017, Banff, Canada enables the exchange of ship information among vessels and speed, drift track point, unreasonable acceleration and rate of maritime administrators. It is helpful for maritime regulation turn. It is necessary to screen the raw AIS data to get the and ship collision avoidance. correct data.In this paper, we designed five rules to screenthe inaccurate data according to the ship’s maneuverability, as AIS is an important means to collect ship traffic shown in follows: information at present. AIS messages contain large volumes of information, thus the AIS is an important data source for A. Unreasonalbe stop in moving analyzing the motion pattern and navigational risk of vessels. The adjacent AIS data is exactly the same sometimes as the However, the AIS utilize the VHF band communication, which vessel is moving ahead. For this type of inaccurate data, the makes the data-link of AIS not reliable. Consequently, the raw cleaning rules are as follows. If the speed of the i-th point is AIS data is not fully available, i.e. the AIS data is not higher than 2 knots, but the coordinate, speed, and course are completely correct and integrated [6,7]. The incorrect and lost the same as the i-1th point, the i-th data should be deleted. As AIS data will interfere with maritime regulation, leading to shown in equation (1): misjudgment of the maritime situation awareness. Meanwhile, it will decrease the effectiveness of analysis on ship motion v(cid:32) (vi )2(cid:14)(vi )2 (cid:33)2 pattern and traffic flow, which is based on the AIS data. lon lat Therefore, it is necessary to study the correctness and integrity |lon (cid:16)lon |(cid:32)0 i i(cid:16)1 of AIS data, and identify the inaccurate AIS data and restore |lat (cid:16)lat |(cid:32)0 i(cid:32)2,3,...,m(cid:16)1,m (1) the lost AISdata. i i(cid:16)1 |vi (cid:16)vi-1 |(cid:32)0 Ma et al.[8,9] conducted studies on the availability of AIS lon lon information, and proposed approaches for identifying the |vi (cid:16)vi-1|(cid:32)0 inaccurate AIS data based on the DS evidence theory and lat lat B. Impossible high speed improved DSmT theory [10,11], however the construction of evidence in the proposedmethods lack strict reasoning process. Due to the limitation of power engine and navigational In order to improve the effectiveness of the evidence, Liu et al. rules, the speed of vessels in inland river is less than 16 knot. [12,13] gave an likelihood based method to construct the Thus, the correct speed range of AIS data is 0~16 knots, as evidence by statistical analysis on effective prior data samples, shown in equation (2): and proposed ER rule and the PCR6 rule based methods to v (cid:32) (vi )2 (cid:14)(vi )2 (cid:33)16(cid:450)i(cid:32)2,3,...,m(cid:16)1,m (2) identify the inaccurate AIS data. The evidence based methods i lon lat can give an accurate identification on AIS data, however the Any AIS data complies with the formula (2) should be methods seems inefficient, because too many effective data deleted. samples should be collected before application. Interpolation methods are popular in restoring the time series. Liu et al.[14] C. Drift track point employed the three spline interpolation method to restore the When the track pointis drift away, the distancebetween the coordinate of lost AIS data. Nguyen [15] utilized piecewise drift point and the adjacent track points will increase. cubic Hermite interpolation to restore the trajectoryof vessels. Consequently, the average speed will increase as well. If the However, these researches are competent only if the lost AIS average speed exceeds the maximum speed of the ship, the data are not consecutive, and the restoration of speed and track point will be considered to be the erroneous data. As course are not in consideration. Liu et al. [16] introduced the shown in equation (3): random algorithm into AIS position restoration, but the randomness of the position is not strong enough to fit the actual (cid:88) (cid:32) (k (x (cid:16)x ))2 (cid:14)(k (y (cid:16)y ))2 (cid:33)16 (3) i 1 i i(cid:16)1 1 i i(cid:16)1 AIS data.

D. Unreasonable acceleration Experiments show that the method proposed in this paper can According to the design specifications of inland ships, the correctly screen the inaccurate AIS data and restore the lost distance for a ship to accelerate from zero to the design speed data effectively. is 20 times longer than the lengthof the ship.When the ship is empty, the distance reduced to 1/2~2/3 times of the original II.

To obtain the maximum acceleration, the minimum In order to capture the real time AIS data, an AIS shore distance values to 10 times of the lengthof ship.Assuming that station was set up (base station model is SAAB R40) in the the length of the ship is L, the design speed is V , the time m Wuhan section of the Yangtze River.

According to the raw AIS data, the be known from formula (5) according to the distance divides categories of inaccurate AIS data are summarized as follows: velocity transformation formula. unreasonable stop during moving forward, impossible high 978-1-5386-0437-3/17/$31.00©2017 IEEE 982 2017 4th International Conference on TransportationInformation and Safety (ICTIS), August 8-10, 2017, Banff, Canada w 360v V:speed d (cid:32) (cid:32)(cid:32) (8) Vm wmax tt kkk(cid:83)(cid:83)LL Wherewis the steering angle of the ship, the unit isdegree; L is the length of the ship, the unit is meter; t represents the time, the unit is seconds; v is the ship speed, unit: m/s.

However, the original AIS data will be L (cid:32)10(cid:117)L(cid:32)0.5(cid:117)t (cid:117)V (4) partly missing, which needs to be repaired to get a complete m m m and correct data. According to the AIS protocol, the time V V2 interval of class-A ship station does not exceed 10s, the time a (cid:32) m (cid:32) m (5) interval of class-B ship station does not exceed 30s. In the max t 20(cid:117)m m progress of repairing AIS data, we need to interpolate the data Usually, the ship's maximum speed is 16 knot, so the V is m according to the time interval, the maximum time interval of about 8.23 m/s.The length of the ship can be queried from the 10s and 30s. AIS static data. For a ship with a length of 110m, the maximum acceleration is 0.03m/s2. It can be seen that the III. METHOD FORDATA RESTORATION maximum acceleration of any cargo ship can be calculated by After data cleaning, we can obtain the accurate AIS data (4), (5), any data beyond the maximum acceleration range series. For better interpolation, the time, longitude, latitude, should be deleted. velocity and course in the AIS data are selected for pre- E. Unreasonable rate of turn processing, and the raw data is sorted according to the time. The latitude and longitude of the starting track point are treated According to the design specification of inland river ships, as the origin of coordinates. Calculate the time difference, the maximum diameter of a ship can be obtained by the speed vector along longitude direction, speed vector along formula , in which kis the coefficient to measure the latitude direction between the adjacent AIS data. Setting as ship maneuverability, usually for the inland river ship, the time, as longitude, as latitude, as speed, as course range of k is in 2~4. The maximum swing diameter represents angle, is speed vector along longitude, and the maximum variation rate of the ship track.As shown in Fig. is speed vector along latitude. 2, when the ship is in constant motion, its path is in the direction of the tangent of the trajectory. Assume that ships A. Piecewise cubic Hermiteinterpolation move from D to D , the corresponding time were t and t , the 0 1 0 1 Suppose there are n track points in the track sequence. The speed v unchanged, the arc angle is w, the maximum rate of Hermite interpolation interval of longitude for time section turn can be derived by equation (6), (7) and (8).

To verify the validity of the two methods presented in this paper, we choose 50 correct AIS data, and delete 5 points manually in a row.

The piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation restore the latitude and longitude by construct a unique cubic polynomial. The derivative of the cubic polynomial about the time is continuous. Hence the speed is relatively smooth. But the change of speed wasn’t Fig.7.Speed and acceleration after cleaning taken into consideration, so the speed is prone to change suddenly in each interval. Therefore, the fitting effect is poor. On contrary, the derivative of the improved cubic spline interpolation about the time is smooth. The position inaccurate isabout6.5m, the speed inaccurateis about 0.07m/s, the angle inaccurateisabout0.91°. After cleaning the original AIS data with inaccurate, the AIS sequences were restored by the improved cubic spline Fig.8.Courseand rate of turnaftercleaning interpolation.The lost data after cleaning is from 100thto 115th. After data cleaning, 110 correct data are obtained.
