Cluster-based spatial planning and evaluation of maritime mesh network using vessel traffic data

Maritime mesh network needs practical methods and tools for the evaluation and planning based on local vessel traffic data. This paper proposes a novel approach which uses density-based clustering and vessel traffic data collected via coastal AIS networks. Such approach, as implemented and applied t...

Description
Summary:Maritime mesh network needs practical methods and tools for the evaluation and planning based on local vessel traffic data. This paper proposes a novel approach which uses density-based clustering and vessel traffic data collected via coastal AIS networks. Such approach, as implemented and applied to the case of Taiwan waters, is demonstrated to be an effective tool to spatially evaluate the viability and plan shore sites for better network coverage and connectivity.
