Yu, Q., Liu, KH., Teixeira, A.P. and Guedes Soares, C. (2020), “Assessment of the influence of offshore wind farms on ship traffic flow based on AIS data”, Journal of Navigation, Vol. 73, pp. 131-148
The paper proposes a framework to assess the influence of offshore wind farms (OWFs) on the traffic flow of ships based on raw Automatic Identification System data collected before and after the installation of the offshore wind turbines. The framework includes modules for data acquisition, data filtering and statistical analysis. The statistical analysis characterises the influence of the OWF on the maritime traffic in terms of minimum passing distances and lateral distribution of the ship trajectories near the OWF. The framework is applied to a specific route for which Automatic Identification System data are available before and after the OWF installation. The impacts of the OWF to marine traffic are diverse and depend on the ship type categories. This paper characterises quantitatively the OWF influence on a specific route that is probabilistically modelled, which is important to further studies on OWFs site selection and maritime traffic risk assessment and management.
