Abstract

In the face of the development of the waterway collaboration transportation, the big data analysis of the waterborne transport has become a hot topic in the field of transportation. Due to the nonlinear and not obvious periodic space-time characteristics of ship traffic flow, it is a great challenge to accurately predict it. In this paper, a CNN-BiLSTM prediction model based on residual fitting network and attention mechanism is proposed, which considers the temporal and spatial characteristics of ship flow, and the extraction analysis of the ship big data and short-term ship flow prediction of sea port. The model extracts the multi-dimensional features of traffic with the help of one-dimensional convolution layer, obtains information mining on the forward and backward sequential data of the two-way long and short time memory network. Besides, the attention mechanism is used to enhance the learning of important features and residual fitting is used to enhance the fit of results. In this paper, we collected the AIS data in waters near New York Harbor, and the multi-segment regional traffic flow dataset is constructed by dividing regions. By comparison with ARIMA, LSTM, GRU, BiLSTM, CNN-LSTM and Attention-BiLSTM models, the proposed prediction model has higher prediction accuracy and a higher degree of fitting with the real value of ship flow.
