Abstract

In busy offshore waters with high vessel density and intersecting shipping lanes, the risk of collisions and accidents is significantly increased. To address the problem of insufficient feature extraction capability of traditional recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in ship trajectory prediction in busy nearshore areas, this paper proposes a hybrid model based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Residual Networks, Attention Mechanism, and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), named PSO-CNN-RGRU-Attention, for ship trajectory prediction. This study utilizes real Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and applies the PSO algorithm to optimize the model and determine the optimal parameters, using a sliding window method for input and output prediction. The effectiveness and practicality of the model have been fully verified. Experimental results show that, compared to the PSO-CNN-GRU model, the proposed model improves the longitude by 7.8%, 3.4%, and 1.7% in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), respectively, and improves the latitude by 48.3%, 62.9%, and 39.2%, respectively. This has significantly contributed to enhancing the safety of ship navigation in the Bohai Strait.
