Construction of a Training Dataset for Vessel Distribution Prediction: The Northern Seas of Jeju Island

Recently, interest in maritime accidents and safety-related research, such as preventing collisions between marine vessels, detecting illegal vessels, and predicting vessel routes, is increasing. Vessel location data-based vessel distribution map can support decision-making for maritime safety management, and if the vessel distribution can be predicted, it is possible to take a preemptive response for maritime security such as fishing safety management and illegal fishing prevention. In this study, a training dataset for vessel distribution prediction was constructed by collecting V-Pass data, weather warnings, and marine environment data. The result of resampling of reporting interval of vessel location data was mapped to grid data to evaluate the vessel density, and a total of 1,314,000 of training data were constructed for the study area. In the future, research to evaluate the accuracy by performing vessel distribution prediction modeling should be conducted.
