Ship Flow Statistics

Ship Flow Statistics

1. Application background

With the rapid development of inland shipping, the information management system for shipping has been gradually applied in maritime agencies and port and shipping departments, in order to improve the water traffic situation, reduce the accident rate, and raise the ship management to an orderly, reasonable and efficient management level. Among them, accurate, effective, all-weather automatic monitoring of ship flow, ship information collection has become an urgent need to achieve the function.

The ship automatic identification and monitoring system with Benewake long distance high performance 3D LiDAR as the core sensor can realize all-weather remote water area monitoring in bad weather, obtain all-round 3D information of ship navigation in the monitoring area, accurately and quickly judge the size and position of the ship, monitor the ship flow and send out alarm signals, so as to minimize the potential safety hazards.

2. Application Introduction

Establishment of defense area

In the first step, Benewake Horn-X2 LiDAR (hereinafter referred to as Horn-X2) is used to set up defense zones in the waters where the flow of ships needs to be monitored.

Horn-X2 has a range of more than 500 meters and 24-hour active monitoring, which is suitable for low visibility and no ambient light environment. At the same time, Horn-X2 has a wide field of view, high-definition density point cloud can accurately restore the 3D image information of ships in the monitored area, so as to accurately set the defense area.

For example, a defense zone with a length of 500 meters and a depth of 500 meters can be set up for the area with large flow of ships in the same navigation area. When the ships enter the defense zone, the ship type and other information (volume, draft, speed and heading) can be monitored in real time to predict the traffic flow in the area.

Trigger alarm

In the second step, Horn-X2 gives an alarm to the ships in the defense area according to the alarm logic.

Horn-X2, resolution up to 0.05 °, Even in the face of complex ship types of different sizes, it can be accurately identified. When it is detected that the ship flow density in the navigable waters is greater than the set flow, it can effectively trigger the early warning signal, provide data reference for channel planning, and ensure the safe and smooth passage of the channel.

For example, the ship flow statistics solution can find 70000 meters based on the point cloud data monitored by Horn-X2. In the water area, if the number of ships exceeds the preset number of alarms, sound and light alarms will be issued immediately to remind the ship's personnel and supervisors to pay attention to prevent collision accidents due to excessive flow of ships.

Function upgrade

The ship flow statistics solution based on Horn-X2 can be further upgraded, such as:

a. The scheme can be configured with camera ball machine for thunder ball linkage to capture or record video, so as to further confirm the ship status and improve the channel flow record.

b. The scheme can be combined with AI algorithm to set the ship type information and cache its features, so as to eliminate some normal moving targets in the defense area and reduce false alarms.

c. The scheme should also include client user interface, system log, communication protocol, etc. to facilitate system integration.

For more ship flow solution configuration ideas, please contact Benewake technical personnel to discuss and obtain more support.

3. Application advantages

Reliable, all day automatic monitoring: Horn-X2 products can work 24 hours a day no matter day or night, no need to fill light, not affected by harsh environment and light. It has passed the national standard anti vibration, EMI, eye safety test, and passed the third-party test in the transportation industry, with strong reliability.

No missing report and low missing report rate: Horn-X2 has a wide field of view, which is suitable for wide water area. High definition density 3D point cloud and intelligent AI algorithm can improve the recognition accuracy of multiple objects in the defense area, with low false alarm rate.

Omnidirectional, no dead angle coverage: Horn-X2 300 meters long-distance detection, whether in large navigable waters or high-density river waters, can set up a long range of defense area, provide more ship flow data, and provide scientific reference for waterway planning.

Intelligent judgment and alarm: effective data can be generated when the ship enters the monitoring area. As long as the intelligent algorithm is matched, it can effectively filter the interference of irrelevant floating objects and other moving targets on the system. It can link the camera to capture and upload images, and generate real-time alarm and check information.

Convenient construction and short period: Horn-X2 non-contact monitoring system can be deployed in the existing infrastructure, and the construction is fast without affecting the traffic of other vehicles.

Support for secondary development: Honr-X2 original point cloud data is completely open, supporting algorithm software and SDK are also open to customers, can be integrated with other sensors, support customers to customize more practical functions, and can bring long-term benefits.
