Resumen

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) of ships provides massive data for maritime transportation management and related researches. Trajectory clustering has been widely used in recent years as a fundamental method of maritime traffic analysis to provide insightful knowledge for traffic management and operation optimization, etc. This paper proposes a ship AIS trajectory clustering method based on Hausdorff distance and Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (HDBSCAN), which can adaptively cluster ship trajectories with their shape characteristics and has good clustering scalability. On this basis, a re-clustering method is proposed and comprehensive clustering performance metrics are introduced to optimize the clustering results. The AIS data of the estuary waters of the Yangtze River in China has been utilized to conduct a case study and compare the results with three popular clustering methods. Experimental results prove that this method has good clustering results on ship trajectories in complex waters.
