Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent water traffic supervision and proactive risk control technology, specifically involving a water traffic control method based on video hotspot area identification, AIS trajectory prediction and VHF alerts. Background Technology
[0002] In waterway traffic management in inland waterways, bridge areas, port entrances and exits, and complex encounter areas, on-duty personnel typically need to simultaneously monitor multiple data sources, including video surveillance footage, AIS dynamic information, bridge and waterway traffic rules, and on-site communication and command information. Currently, video surveillance is primarily used for manual observation of the scene, while AIS is mainly used to display vessel identity, location, speed, and heading. The lack of a collaborative processing mechanism between the two for traffic control operations means that scenarios such as bridge passage, encounter avoidance, bridge span allocation, abnormal stop identification, and restricted area monitoring still rely on manual comprehensive judgment.
[0003] Existing methods mainly suffer from the following problems: First, although video surveillance can reflect the on-site situation, it is difficult to automatically convert key locations such as bridge entrances, bridge approach areas, bridge occupancy areas, waiting areas, conflict-sensitive areas, and restricted areas into structured traffic events, resulting in a large workload for manual screening. Second, although AIS can provide vessel identity and dynamic location, it is difficult to support timely navigation scheduling and traffic intervention in bridge areas if it lacks awareness of local occupancy status, regional congestion status, and abnormal dwelling status in bridge areas. Third, existing systems mostly remain at the level of risk warning, lacking a complete closed-loop mechanism of "risk identification - strategy generation - VHF alert - execution verification - archiving optimization", which makes it difficult to meet the needs of proactive traffic control in complex waterways and bridge area scenarios.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a water traffic control method that does not rely on video to obtain the latitude and longitude of ships, nor on PTZ to track ships, but instead uses semantic perception of video hotspot areas as the front-end trigger, AIS trajectory prediction as the core calculation, and VHF graded alerts as the execution means, in order to reduce the workload of manual judgment and improve the proactive supervision and control capabilities in bridge areas and complex waterway scenarios.

[0160] This embodiment discloses a water traffic control method based on video hotspot area identification, AIS trajectory prediction, and VHF alerts.
[0161] I. Overall Process
[0162] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this invention proposes a water traffic control method based on video hotspot area identification, AIS trajectory prediction, and VHF alerts. This method is applicable to scenarios such as bridge areas, complex waterways, and encounter-sensitive areas. It outputs regional-level traffic events from the video side, outputs vessel identity, location, and future trajectory from the AIS side, and completes a traffic control closed loop by combining VHF alerts.
[0163] This method includes the following steps: First, it integrates fixed cameras or pre-set monitoring footage, AIS data, electronic navigation chart data, bridge and waterway rule base data, and VHF communication interface data, and establishes a unified time reference. Second, it delineates key hotspot areas in the monitoring footage, such as bridge entrance areas, bridge opening approach areas, bridge opening occupancy areas, waiting areas, conflict-sensitive areas, and restricted areas. Then, it detects, tracks, and classifies vessel targets in the video footage, and outputs structured events such as area occupancy, area congestion, and abnormal stops. Simultaneously, it preprocesses AIS messages, reconstructs trajectories, and predicts future trajectories to obtain candidate control objects and their estimated arrival times at the bridge. Subsequently, it filters and correlates video hotspot events with AIS candidate objects, calculates ship-to-ship collision risk, ship-to-bridge collision risk, bridge opening conflict risk, and navigation priority, and generates traffic control strategies. Finally, it broadcasts or provides targeted alerts via VHF, and verifies and archives the control execution based on changes in AIS trajectories, changes in video hotspot status, and log records after the alerts.
[0164] II. Configuration of Key Hotspot Areas in Waterways
[0165] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the system first performs regional semantic division of the monitoring screen based on the bridge structure, bridge opening layout, channel centerline, boundary line, waiting water area, prohibited water area, and historical high conflict encounter area.
[0166] The hotspot areas include at least the following types:
[0167] (1) Bridge entrance area, used to identify vessels about to enter the controlled area of the bridge area;
[0168] (2) Bridge approach zone, used to identify vessels that are about to enter a specific bridge approach path;
[0169] (3) Bridge opening occupancy area, used to determine whether the bridge opening is currently occupied by a ship;
[0170] (4) Waiting area, used to identify whether vessels are waiting or queuing in accordance with traffic control requirements;
[0171] (5) Conflict-sensitive areas are used to identify high-risk situations such as encounters, overtaking, and crossings;
[0172] (6) Restricted area, used to identify vessels that have mistakenly entered the edge of the bridge area, the vicinity of non-navigable bridge openings, or other areas that are not permitted to enter.
[0173] Each hotspot area can be defined in the form of a rectangle, polygon, polyline buffer zone, or area mask, and each area can be configured with parameters such as area number, control level, associated bridge hole number, acceptable ship type, maximum allowable number of ships, maximum allowable stay duration, and VHF alert template.
[0174] Furthermore, for the target quantity within the region is The maximum allowed number of spaces is area Its regional occupancy rate can be defined as:
[0175]
[0176] when When the threshold is exceeded, the area is determined to be in a congested state.
[0177] III. Ship Inspection and Classification in Video Hotspot Areas
[0178] In this embodiment, the system performs ship target detection on the input video frames to obtain the bounding boxes, categories, and detection confidence of candidate targets; and performs trajectory association on the same target in consecutive frames to form video target trajectories.
[0179] For each detected vessel target, the system determines whether an entry event, departure event, sustained stay event, or reverse crossing event has occurred based on its position changes across consecutive frames. Specifically, if the target is in the area... The number of consecutive frames within the time limit is The video frame rate is The duration of stay is:
[0180]
[0181] when When this occurs, it is determined to be a continuous stay event, among which, This represents the dwell threshold for the corresponding area.
[0182] Simultaneously, the system identifies the target's ship type based on the ship's bounding box dimensions, aspect ratio, outline features, superstructure features, or a trained classification model. The identified ship types include at least large ships, small ships, tugboats, engineering vessels, and non-AIS small targets.
[0183] Furthermore, the system combines the number of targets within the area, average dwell time, consistency of target movement direction, and area occupancy rate to generate area occupancy status, congestion status, and abnormal dwell status. The area congestion index can be expressed as:
[0184]
[0185] in, For the target quantity in the region, The average length of stay, This serves as an indicator of the consistency of the direction of movement of targets within the region. These are the weighting coefficients.
[0186] Finally, the system outputs a video hotspot event result package, which includes at least: video target number, target category, hotspot area, area event type, entry time, exit time, dwell time, area occupancy index, and abnormal status marker.
[0187] IV. AIS Preprocessing and Continuous Track Reconstruction
[0188] In this embodiment, the system receives AIS messages and parses them to obtain information such as MMSI, ship name, latitude and longitude, speed, heading, ship type, ship size and timestamp, forming the original AIS observation sequence.
[0189] Subsequently, the AIS messages are sorted by time, duplicate messages are removed, abnormal jump points are detected, and trajectory segments are processed. When the time interval between adjacent messages exceeds a set threshold, or the distance between adjacent locations exceeds a set threshold, a new trajectory segment is initiated.
[0190] To facilitate subsequent distance and risk calculations, the system projects AIS latitude and longitude onto a unified plane coordinate system to obtain planar position coordinates. To address the issue of uneven AIS update frequency, the system further resamples and interpolates the trajectory. For each time interval... Its position interpolation can be expressed as:
[0191]
[0192] in, Indicates the time to be interpolated The estimated ship position point; Indicates the first The ship's location corresponding to each AIS message; Indicates the first The ship's position point corresponding to each AIS message, Indicates the first The timestamp corresponding to each AIS message; Indicates the first The timestamp corresponding to each AIS message; This indicates the intermediate time when position estimation is required;
[0193] Furthermore, the system performs outlier removal and smoothing filtering on the AIS trajectory to obtain a continuous sequence of position, velocity, and heading. This is based on the heading distance from the current position to the bridge control line. With current speed Estimated time of arrival of the vessel at the bridge:
[0194]
[0195] in, To prevent the smallest positive number with a denominator of zero.
[0196] In addition, the system generates AIS trajectory quality weights based on message update intervals, interpolation ratios, filtering residuals, and positioning quality, which serve as the basis for credibility in candidate selection and risk assessment.
[0197] V. AIS Candidate Selection Based on Video Hot Topics
[0198] In this embodiment, the system reads the video hotspot event result packet output in step three and determines the current key control area based on the hotspot area number, event type, and event level.
[0199] Within a unified time window, a pool of candidate vessels is selected from the AIS vessel ensemble. These vessels are located near the control area, their navigation direction conforms to the rules of that area, and they are expected to enter the area. The selection of candidates considers not only spatial proximity but also factors such as expected arrival time at the bridge, expected time window for entering the bridge opening, current course, vessel type, and historical bridge crossing routes.
[0200] For candidate ships Its relevance score can be defined as:
[0201]
[0202] in, The score represents the consistency of direction. For arrival time consistency score, The score represents the ship type consistency score. The historical path consistency score. This represents the quality weight of the AIS trajectory.
[0203] When a hotspot area is identified as having bridge opening occupancy, bridge congestion, abnormal stops, or being in a conflict-sensitive state, the system increases the screening priority of AIS vessels related to that area so that traffic risk calculations and control decisions can be implemented more effectively in the future.
[0204] VI. Traffic Risk Prediction and Air Traffic Priority Assessment
[0205] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the system predicts the trajectory of each candidate ship in the future prediction time domain, and obtains the future discrete trajectory point sequence and the corresponding uncertainty parameters.
[0206] For any two candidate ships and Their future relative distance can be expressed as:
[0207]
[0208] Take the minimum distance among all predicted times as the nearest encounter distance (DCPA):
[0209]
[0210] The corresponding time is taken as the nearest meeting time (TCPA).
[0211]
[0212] The system calculates ship-to-ship collision risk based on DCPA and TCPA; simultaneously, it calculates ship-to-bridge collision risk and bridge span yaw risk based on the spatial relationship between the predicted trajectory and the pier protection zone, bridge boundary, and bridge span centerline. If the lateral deviation of the ship's predicted position from the bridge span centerline is... The bridge yaw risk can then be expressed as:
[0213]
[0214] in, The threshold for allowing lateral deviation.
[0215] Furthermore, if two or more vessels are predicted to compete for the same bridge opening within the same time window, the bridge opening occupancy conflict risk is calculated. The bridge opening conflict risk can be expressed as:
[0216]
[0217] in, This refers to the occupancy status of the bridge opening. The number of candidate vessels for the bridge arches. This serves as a reference time window for passage through the bridge arches.
[0218] In addition, the system calculates the vessel's navigation priority score by combining factors such as vessel type, vessel size, hazard level, navigation direction, estimated arrival time at the bridge, bridge span compatibility, whether it has entered the waiting area, and current traffic density.
[0219]
[0220] Meanwhile, the status of video hotspot areas serves as a business risk correction item, adjusting the base risk value obtained from AIS predictions.
[0221]
[0222] in, This refers to the incremental risks introduced by video events such as congestion, abnormal lingering, or restricted access.
[0223] VII. Traffic Control Decision Generation
[0224] In this embodiment, the system generates a traffic control strategy for the target vessel based on traffic risk prediction and priority assessment results. The control strategy includes at least one or more of the following: deceleration, maintaining course, giving way in advance, entering the waiting area, prohibiting entry into the designated bridge opening, switching to the backup bridge opening, and restoring traffic flow.
[0225] When multiple vessels are competing for the same bridge opening, the system determines the single priority passage target based on priority scores:
[0226]
[0227] The remaining vessels were designated as waiting targets or avoidable targets.
[0228] When the overall risk value exceeds a preset emergency threshold, the system prioritizes generating control strategies such as emergency deceleration, course correction, or suspension of entry into the bridge area. Ultimately, the system organizes the control decisions into structured control messages, which include at least: target vessel identity, risk type, target bridge opening, control level, control action, effective time window, and alert priority.
[0229] VIII. VHF Classification Alerts and Closed-Loop Feedback
[0230] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the system selects between broadcast alerts and targeted alerts based on the control level in the control message. For low-level risks, broadcast alerts are used; for high-level risks, targeted alerts based on the vessel name or MMSI are used.
[0231] The system automatically generates VHF broadcast content by calling corresponding voice templates based on different risk types. The broadcast content must include at least the target vessel's identity, risk description, control requirements, recommended actions, and execution time limits. The alert levels must include at least situational awareness, early warning, control intervention, and emergency alert.
[0232] After the VHF alert is issued, the system continuously monitors changes in the target vessel's AIS trajectory and the status of video hotspot areas to assess whether the vessel has complied with the control requirements. The execution deviation can be defined as:
[0233]
[0234] in, and These are respectively controlling the target's speed and controlling the target's heading. The deviation between the target and the specified waiting area or the specified bridge opening passage path.
[0235] When the risk decreases or the vessel's actions meet control requirements after the alert, it is recorded as effective intervention; when there is still no response after the alert or the risk continues to rise, the alarm level is automatically upgraded, and a second alert or manual intervention is triggered.
[0236] IX. Multi-source fusion verification and control effect archiving analysis
[0237] In this embodiment, the system integrates AIS dynamic data, video structured event data, and VHF alert logs to construct a control strategy execution verification link. Consistency verification is performed on changes in ship speed, course, bridge approach status, and hotspot area occupancy status before and after the issuance of control commands.
[0238] The consistency score can be expressed as:
[0239]
[0240] in, As a speed consistency indicator, For heading consistency indicators. This serves as an indicator of regional consistency. This is a consistency metric for VHF execution logs.
[0241] When the consistency score is lower than the preset threshold, the vessel is deemed to have failed to effectively execute control commands, and secondary intervention is triggered, including raising the VHF alert level, extending the waiting time window, transferring to manual duty confirmation, or linking with the law enforcement module.
[0242] Finally, the system archives a complete traffic control process by event number. The archived content includes at least: the original AIS trajectory, video hotspot events, risk assessment results, control decisions, VHF broadcast logs, execution verification results, and final handling results.
[0243] For archived events, the system further performs statistical analysis based on event type, risk level, intervention duration, response time, execution success rate, and false alarm rate. The execution success rate can be expressed as:
[0244]
[0245] The false alarm rate can be expressed as:
[0246]
[0247] Based on the archived analysis results, the system updates the threshold parameters for hotspot areas, risk assessment weight parameters, bridge hole priority parameters, and VHF voice template priority, thereby improving the accuracy and closed-loop efficiency of subsequent water traffic control.
