[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the application.

[0043] Embodiment 1:

[0044] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 The embodiment provides a beacon-based real-time navigation information transmission and analysis system, which comprises:

[0045] The data acquisition module collects dynamic data of ships, meteorological data, and hydrological data near the navigation mark;

[0046] It employs a multi-functional device integrating AIS receiver, millimeter-wave radar, and Doppler current meter (ADCP). The AIS receiving antenna acquires basic ship information in real time, while the millimeter-wave radar, scanning at a frequency of 1-2 seconds per revolution, dynamically monitors ship speed and heading angle within 5km through Doppler frequency shift. Simultaneously, the ADCP is deployed 2-3 meters underwater at the bottom of the buoy, emitting 300-600kHz sound waves to monitor the surface, middle, and bottom current velocities of the water area, providing data for ship speed correction.

[0047] A composite sensor system combining a three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer and an ultrasonic water level gauge is employed. The three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer, with no mechanical parts, can accurately measure wind speed and direction using the time difference of ultrasonic propagation in extreme temperature and humidity environments. The ultrasonic water level gauge, installed on the navigation beacon, utilizes a redundant design with a pressure-type water level sensor to achieve a water level measurement accuracy of ±0.02m. Furthermore, a built-in laser visibility meter, based on the Lambert-Beer law, effectively monitors visibility in both dense fog and clear weather conditions. An accelerometer at the bottom of the navigation beacon continuously samples for 30 seconds to calculate the significant wave height with an accuracy of ±0.1m, providing a basis for ship maneuverability assessment.

[0048] The edge computing module generates a real-time trajectory of the ship based on the ship dynamic data, obtains a predicted trajectory of the ship based on the real-time trajectory and the hydrological data, and calculates the deviation between the ship's predicted trajectory and the preset ship channel.

[0049] The process of generating a ship's real-time trajectory is as follows:

[0050] The edge computing module is used for data processing and trajectory analysis. Continuous and accurate real-time ship trajectories are generated through multi-step operations, including data coordinate system, single-point data error correction, and trajectory continuity.

[0051] Based on ship dynamic data, a ship state vector is defined, including position coordinates, velocity components, and acceleration components. Simultaneously, an observation vector is defined, including directly observable parameters such as position, speed, and heading. A state transition equation is established based on the ship's motion laws to describe the relationship between the ship's state and time, considering process noise such as errors caused by fluctuations in the ship's propulsion system. An observation equation is also established based on the characteristics of the observation equipment to describe the correspondence between observed values ​​and the ship's actual state, also considering observation noise such as GPS positioning errors.

[0052] Kalman filtering is divided into prediction and update. In the prediction stage, the ship's state and state covariance at the current moment are predicted based on the state transition equation and the optimal state estimate at the previous moment, reflecting the uncertainty of the predicted value.

[0053] In the update phase, the Kalman gain is calculated by combining the observations at the current moment, the reliability of the predicted value and the observation value is weighed, and the predicted state is corrected according to the Kalman gain to obtain the optimal state estimate at the current moment. Finally, the real-time trajectory of the ship is generated based on the optimal state estimate.

[0054] The process of predicting a ship's trajectory is as follows:

[0055] The process of generating ship predicted trajectories involves a complex technical step that deeply integrates multi-source data-driven approaches with intelligent algorithm modeling to accurately predict the future motion of ships. This can be achieved through the following progressive technical steps:

[0056] First, through preliminary motion state extrapolation, based on the motion parameters contained in the ship's real-time trajectory, such as current speed and heading angle, a preliminary inference is made about the ship's subsequent motion state. For example, when the ship is in a uniform straight-line state, its short-term position change trend can be preliminarily estimated based on the current velocity vector. It should be noted that the inference at this stage is only a simple extrapolation based on the ship's own motion state and has not yet introduced interference from environmental factors. It is a preliminary basic operation for subsequent accurate prediction.

[0057] Secondly, hydrological environmental factors are introduced for correction. Water flow, as a key environmental load affecting ship navigation, directly influences the ship's actual ground speed and heading through its velocity and direction. The system uses a hydrodynamic calculation model to quantitatively analyze the coupled effects of water flow velocity and direction vectors on the ship's actual speed vector and heading angle, and corrects the previous motion state predictions. For example, in downstream navigation, the water flow adds a downstream velocity component to the ship's own speed, thus changing the ship's actual ground speed; while in cross-current conditions, the water flow not only causes a change in the vector composition of the ship's speed but also induces a shift in the heading angle.

[0058] Then, an artificial intelligence algorithm integrating time-series prediction and environmental impact modeling is used to extract time-series features from the real-time trajectory data of ships. The motion of ships exhibits significant temporal dynamics, and their historical motion data contains specific behavioral patterns, such as speed change gradients during turning maneuvers and speed stability characteristics during constant-speed navigation. Through deep learning networks such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), time-series features are extracted from the real-time trajectory data to uncover historical behavioral patterns of ship motion and construct a time-series prediction model of the ship's own motion. This model can accurately capture the motion characteristics of ships under different operating conditions, such as acceleration / deceleration, turning, and constant-speed cruising, providing a benchmark model for subsequent comprehensive predictions incorporating environmental factors.

[0059] Simultaneously, hydrological data is transformed into a quantified set of environmental impact factors. Different combinations of water flow velocity and direction significantly affect ship speed and heading. The system uses a trained weight matrix, generated from a large amount of historical ship-current interaction data, to quantitatively calculate the specific impact weights of flow velocity and direction parameters on changes in ship speed and heading angle under different flow conditions, thereby constructing a correlation model between "environmental loads and ship motion response".

[0060] Finally, the system integrates the ship's motion time-series prediction model with the "environment-motion" correlation model to generate the ship's predicted trajectory. In this step, the system performs vector synthesis of the coupled effects of the ship's own motion trend and environmental loads, and outputs the predicted trajectory curve of the ship over a future period through a multi-model fusion algorithm. The generated predicted trajectory not only includes the ship's own motion characteristics but also fully considers the dynamic interference of environmental factors. This provides accurate data for subsequent key stages such as ship deviation calculation, navigation risk assessment, and intelligent route optimization, thereby ensuring the safety and energy efficiency of ship navigation.

[0061] Real-time ship trajectories contain information about a ship's current motion status, including key parameters such as position, speed, and heading. By analyzing real-time data, preliminary inferences about the ship's motion can be made. For example, when a ship is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line, its approximate position 10 minutes from now can be estimated. Hydrological data elements such as water flow velocity and direction have a significant impact on ship navigation. With the current, the water flow propels the ship, causing its actual speed to exceed its own power-driven speed; against the current, the water flow obstructs the ship, reducing its speed; lateral currents can also cause the ship to deviate from its original course. Furthermore, water depth is crucial; insufficient water depth can prevent a ship from maintaining normal speed and may even lead to grounding.

[0062] Based on the "environment-motion" correlation model, the time-series prediction results of real-time trajectories need to be integrated with the environmental impact results of hydrological data. Taking the prediction of a ship's position 10 minutes later as an example, the ship's original position 10 minutes later is first predicted based on the real-time trajectory. Then, the coordinates and speed of this position are corrected by combining water flow data. If the ship is in a downstream environment, its actual position will be further forward and its speed will be faster than originally predicted; if it is upstream, its position will be further back and its speed will be slower; if there is a lateral current, its position will shift in the direction of the current. At the same time, water depth data is used to determine whether the ship can maintain normal navigation in this area. If the water depth changes, the prediction results such as the ship's speed need to be adjusted.

[0063] The AI ​​model continuously receives new real-time trajectory and hydrological data, dynamically updating its predictions. Because the ship's motion and the hydrological environment are constantly changing, new real-time trajectory data reflects the ship's latest motion adjustments, while new hydrological data shows the latest conditions of water flow, depth, and other parameters. Based on this new data, the model re-performs time-series predictions and environmental impact analyses, then integrates them to obtain a new predicted trajectory. This ensures the timeliness and accuracy of the trajectory, ultimately outputting the ship's continuous position points over a future period, forming a complete predicted trajectory.

[0064] The specific process for calculating the deviation is as follows:

[0065] The deviation is calculated by quantifying the difference between the preset waterway and the predicted ship trajectory, providing data basis for risk warning. The deviation is calculated from the two dimensions of position and heading by digital modeling of the preset waterway and standardization of the predicted ship trajectory. The comprehensive deviation is obtained by dynamic weight fusion and corrected in combination with the real-time environment.

[0066] The preset waterway is transformed into a digital model. Based on the official waterway data delineated by the maritime authorities, such as the coordinates of the waterway centerline, the width of the waterway, and the location of turning points, the digital model of the waterway is constructed using the "segmented curve fitting" method. For example, for a straight section of the waterway, the latitude and longitude coordinates of multiple feature points on the centerline of the waterway are collected, and a continuous centerline trajectory is generated using linear interpolation.

[0067] Ship prediction trajectories are sequences of ship positions over a future period generated by AI models. Through "time axis alignment," the preset channel model typically uses "channel mileage" as a parameter, while the prediction trajectory uses "time" as a parameter. The time series of the prediction trajectory needs to be converted into a "mileage-position" sequence. This is achieved by calculating the distance between adjacent positions in the prediction trajectory, accumulating the "cumulative voyage mileage" for each time point, and then matching it with the mileage parameter of the preset channel to ensure that the two are consistent in "position reference dimension."

[0068] This approach relies on a Bayesian network model. A Bayesian network is a graphical network based on probabilistic reasoning. Meteorological data encompasses numerous parameters, including wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, rainfall, and visibility, all of which are critical factors affecting ship navigation safety. For example, strong winds may cause ships to deviate from their planned routes, dense fog that reduces visibility greatly increases the risk of collisions, and abnormal air pressure changes may indicate the onset of severe weather. In the Bayesian network model, meteorological data serves as conditional probability input. Different combinations of meteorological conditions correspond to different probabilities of ship deviation risk. Through learning and training on a large amount of historical navigation data and meteorological data, the Bayesian network establishes a probabilistic relationship model between meteorological factors and ship deviation.

[0069] Once real-time meteorological data is collected, the probabilistic model calculates the probability of the ship's deviation falling into different risk levels under the current conditions, based on the input data. Specifically, the risk is categorized into three levels: low risk (deviation <10%), medium risk (10%-30%), and high risk (>30%). Simultaneously, a risk heatmap is generated, presenting the abstract risk probability in an intuitive thermal distribution. Different colors represent different risk levels, allowing ship operators and shore-based command personnel to clearly understand the risk situation of the area the ship is currently in or about to enter, providing a clear and intuitive basis for subsequent route adjustment decisions.

[0070] Algorithm and execution mechanism for route adjustment

[0071] After obtaining accurate risk analysis results, the route adjustment module activates the A* path planning algorithm to generate optimized route suggestions. The A* algorithm is an efficient algorithm for finding the shortest path in graph search. In route planning, it comprehensively considers the ship's dynamic constraints and channel limitations. The ship's dynamic constraints include its own speed characteristics, turning ability, and inertia. Different types of ships, such as large cargo ships and small yachts, have significantly different dynamic performance. The A* algorithm incorporates these dynamic constraints into the route planning calculation based on information such as ship type, ensuring that the planned route is one that the ship can actually follow.

[0072] Regarding channel restrictions, factors such as channel width, water depth, and traffic density must be considered. For example, some channels may have shoals or shallow water, preventing large vessels from entering; or the channel width may be limited, requiring vessels to follow specific routes to avoid collisions. The A* algorithm will find the optimal route while satisfying these channel restrictions.

[0073] Ships have various dynamic constraints, and these constraints vary significantly depending on the type of ship. The A* algorithm takes these constraints into full consideration to ensure the feasibility of the planned route.

[0074] Regarding the inherent speed characteristics of ships, large cargo ships, due to their large size and mass, experience relatively slow acceleration and deceleration, resulting in a limited range of speed variations. Smaller yachts, on the other hand, are more agile and can adjust their speed more rapidly. When calculating paths, the A* algorithm presets upper and lower limits for speed variations and acceleration constraints based on the ship type. For example, large cargo ships have relatively low maximum acceleration; therefore, when planning the speed for each segment of the route, the algorithm ensures that speed changes do not exceed the ship's acceleration capabilities, avoiding situations where the ship cannot actually reach high speeds or experience sudden decelerations. Smaller yachts have higher acceleration and more flexible speed adjustments, so the algorithm will correspondingly set a wider but realistic range of speed variations.

[0075] A ship's turning capability is also a key constraint. Large cargo ships have large turning radii, requiring more time and space to turn; small yachts are more agile and can achieve rapid turns with small radii. The A* algorithm sets maximum limits on the turning angle for different types of ships. For example, large cargo ships have smaller maximum turning angles. When planning turning nodes in the route, the algorithm ensures that the turning angles between adjacent path segments do not exceed this limit, allowing the ship to complete the turning operation smoothly. Small yachts have more lenient turning angle restrictions, and the algorithm will plan more flexible turning paths accordingly.

[0076] Furthermore, when ships are sailing in water, they cannot stop or change direction instantly like land vehicles due to inertia. When planning a route, the A* algorithm takes into account the ship's inertia, calculating the braking distance and steering lead at different speeds. This ensures that the spacing between planned route nodes and the setting of turning points are reasonable, giving the ship sufficient space and time to complete speed adjustments and turning maneuvers, thus preventing the ship from deviating from the planned route due to inertia.

[0077] After generating optimized route suggestions, adjustment commands are sent to the vessel via a VHF radio module. VHF radio offers moderate transmission distance and good real-time performance, meeting the communication needs of vessels at sea. It also supports dual-mode voice and text transmission. Voice transmission allows the vessel's navigator to quickly receive key route adjustment points, facilitating rapid response in emergencies; text transmission provides more detailed and accurate route adjustment information, such as specific latitude and longitude coordinates and turning points, enabling precise operation by the navigator.

[0078] When a vessel is about to enter a high-risk area, timely course adjustments can effectively prevent it from deviating too far from its course, reducing the likelihood of collisions with other vessels, or avoiding dangerous situations such as loss of control due to severe weather conditions and complex hydrological environments. This plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring the safety of crew members and protecting the vessel and cargo. Course adjustments allow vessels to avoid unfavorable weather and hydrological conditions, reducing navigation delays caused by adverse environments. For example, when a strong storm is predicted ahead, adjusting the course in advance to avoid the storm area may increase the sailing distance, but the overall sailing time may be reduced by avoiding the slow speed or even stagnation caused by the storm, thus ensuring the timely completion of shipping tasks and improving the operational efficiency and economic benefits of shipping companies.
