Maritime transport accounts for a majority of trades in volume, of which 70% in value is carried by container ships that transit regular routes on fixed schedules in the ocean. In the present paper, we analyse a data set of global liner…
Maritime shipping is a backbone of international trade and, thus, the world economy. Cargo-loaded vessels travel from one country's port to another via an underlying port-to-port transport network, contributing to international trade values…
Transportation networks play a crucial role in human mobility, the exchange of goods, and the spread of invasive species. With 90% of world trade carried by sea, the global network of merchant ships provides one of the most important modes…
Seaports play a crucial role in the global economy, and researchers have sought to understand their significance through various studies. In this paper, we aim to explore the common characteristics shared by important ports by analyzing the…
The global shipping network, which moves over 80% of the world's goods, is not only a vital backbone of the global economy but also one of the most polluting industries. Studying how this network operates is crucial for improving its…
Node properties and node importance identification of networks have been vastly studied in the last decades. While in this work, we analyse the links' properties of networks by taking the Worldwide Marine Transport Network (WMTN) as an…
The large-scale organization of the world economies is exhibiting increasingly levels of local heterogeneity and global interdependency. Understanding the relation between local and global features calls for analytical tools able to uncover…
We present a subjective selection of methods for complex systems analysis ranging from statistical tools through numerical methods based on AI to both linear and non-linear ODEs and PDEs. All the notions apply the network structure and are…
Around 80% of global trade by volume is transported by sea, and thus the maritime transportation system is fundamental to the world economy. To better exploit new international shipping routes, we need to understand the current ones and…
The prosperity of artificial intelligence has aroused intensive interests in intelligent/autonomous navigation, in which path prediction is a key functionality for decision supports, e.g. route planning, collision warning, and traffic…
Maritime AIS (Automatic Identification Systems) data serve as a valuable resource for studying vessel behavior. This study proposes a methodology to analyze route between maritime points of interest and extract geo-referenced standard…
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables data-driven maritime surveillance but suffers from reliability issues and irregular intervals. We address vessel destination estimation using global-scope AIS data by proposing a…
Service providers employ different transport technologies like PDH, SDH/SONET, OTN, DWDM, Ethernet, MPLS-TP etc. to support different types of traffic and service requirements. Dynamic service provisioning requires the use of on-line…
This paper proposes a data preparation process for managing real-world kinematic data and detecting fishing vessels. The solution is a binary classification that classifies ship trajectories into either fishing or non-fishing ships. The…
In this paper we present an empirical study of the worldwide maritime transportation network (WMN) in which the nodes are ports and links are container liners connecting the ports. Using the different representation of network topology…
Supply chain network data is a valuable asset for businesses wishing to understand their ethical profile, security of supply, and efficiency. Possession of a dataset alone however is not a sufficient enabler of actionable decisions due to…
We consider paths in weighted and directed temporal networks, introducing tools to compute sets of paths of high probability. We quantify the relative importance of the most probable path between two nodes with respect to the whole set of…
Connectivity is a fundamental structural feature of a network that determines the outcome of any dynamics that happens on top of it. However, an analytical approach to obtain connection probabilities between nodes associated to paths of…
Air transportation has been becoming a major part of transportation infrastructure worldwide. Hence the study of the Airports Networks, the backbone of air transportation, is becoming increasingly important. In complex systems domain,…
This paper proposes a graph-based approach to representing spatio-temporal trajectory data that allows an effective visualization and characterization of city-wide traffic dynamics. With the advance of sensor, mobile, and Internet of Things…
