Mobility Data: A Perspective from the Maritime Domain

  • First Online:
Big Data Analytics for Time-Critical Mobility Forecasting

Abstract

This chapter overviews maritime operational situations and underlying challenges that the automated processing of maritime mobility data would support with the detection of threats and abnormal activities. The maritime use cases and scenarios are geared on fishing activities monitoring, aligning with the European Union Maritime Security Strategy. Six scenarios falling under three use cases are presented together with maritime situational indicators expressing users’ needs when conducting operational tasks. This chapter also presents relevant data sources to be exploited for operational purposes in the maritime domain, and discusses the related big data challenges to be addressed by algorithmic solutions. An integrated dataset of heterogeneous sources for maritime surveillance is finally described, gathering 13 sources. This chapter concludes on the generation of specific datasets to be used for algorithms evaluation and comparison purposes.

The material presented in this chapter is a compilation of excerpts from [7, 8, 14, 17].
