Abstract
With the development of Chinese international trade, real-time processing systems based on ship trajectory have been used to cluster trajectory in real-time, so that the hot zone information of a sea ship can be discovered in real-time. This technology has great research value for the future planning of maritime traffic. However, ship navigation characteristics cannot be found in real-time with a ship Automatic Identification System (AIS) positioning system, and the clustering effect based on the density grid fixed-time-interval algorithm cannot resolve the shortcomings of real-time clustering. This study proposes an adaptive time interval clustering algorithm based on density grid (called DAC-Stream). This algorithm can perform adaptive time-interval clustering according to the size of the real-time ship trajectory data stream, so that a ship's hot zone information can be found efficiently and in real-time. Experimental results show that the DAC-Stream algorithm improves the clustering effect and accelerates data processing compared with the fixed-time-interval clustering algorithm based on density grid (called DC-Stream).
