Abstract

With the development of AIS (Automatic Identification System), more and more vessels are equipped with AIS technology. Vessels’ reports (e.g. position in geodetic coordinates, speed, course), periodically transmitted by AIS, have become an abundant and inexpensive source of ubiquitous motion information for the maritime surveillance. In this study, we investigate the problem of processing the ubiquitous data, which are enclosed in the AIS messages of a vessel, in order to display an interpolation of the itinerary of the vessel. We define a graph-aware itinerary mining strategy, which uses spatio-temporal knowledge enclosed in each AIS message to constrain the itinerary search. Experiments investigate the impact of the proposed spatio-temporal data mining algorithm on the accuracy and efficiency of the itinerary interpolation process, also when reducing the amount of AIS messages processed per vessel.
