Description
Summary:Vessel trajectory prediction is important in maritime traffic safety and emergency management. Vessel trajectory prediction using vessel automatic identification system (AIS) data has attracted wide attention. Deep learning techniques have been widely applied to vessel trajectory prediction tasks due to their advantages in fine-grained feature learning and time series modelling. However, most deep learning-based methods use a unified approach for modelling AIS data, ignoring the diversity of AIS data and the impact of noise on prediction performance due to environmental factors. To address this issue, this study introduces a method consisting of temporal convolutional network (TCN), convolutional neural network (CNN) and convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) to predict vessel trajectories, called TCC. The model employs TCN to capture the complex correlation of the time series, utilises CNN to capture the fine-grained covariate features and then captures the dynamics and complexity of the trajectory sequences through ConvLSTM to predict vessel trajectories. Experiments are conducted on real public datasets, and the results show that the TCC model proposed in this paper outperforms the existing baseline algorithms with high accuracy and robustness in vessel trajectory prediction.
