Considering the dense vessel traffic, cross waterways, and complex traffic conflicts in crowded waters, facing the development tendency and demand of maritime supervision and management, making a full sufficient reference of advanced concepts and theories from road, pedestrian, and air transportation area, while based on current research achievements in marine transportation area. In this project, on the basis of collection and comprehensive pre-processing of multi-source spatial-temporal vessel trajectory data, implement original studies in area-wide vessel traffic flow dynamic characteristics extracting and analytical modelling and area-wide vessel traffic flow morphological characteristics extracting and measuring, systematically propose vessel traffic flow state judgement theory and method in crowded waters. In terms of theory, innovatively construct area-wide vessel traffic flow multi-parameter model, put forward measuring methods of vessel traffic heterogeneity and complexity, revealing the morphological characteristics of vessel traffic flows, enrich vessel traffic flow theory and method; In terms of technique, improve the comprehensive pre-processing methods of multi-source spatial-temporal vessel trajectory data, propose calibration algorithms of area-wide vessel traffic flow analytical model and measuring algorithms of area-wide vessel traffic flow morphological characteristics, systematically propose vessel traffic flow data analysis and modelling techniques in crowded waters, provide technical support of practical applications. The undertaking of this project is theoretically and practically significant for breaking through bottle-neck of the scientific development of maritime supervision and management and expanding discipline connotation of marine traffic engineering.
