Liu, D., Siow, C-L., Kang, H-S. and C. Guedes Soares (2025), Near miss detection framework based on multi-observational eccentric domain in confined waters, Ocean Engineering, Vol. 335, 121721.

A framework for near-miss extraction in restricted waters is introduced with a novel concept of a multi-observational eccentric elliptical ship domain based on data distribution characteristics. The Cumulative Density Function constructs the target domain from the reasonable distribution of the target vessel’s surrounding data. Subsequently, a framework for near-miss extraction is established by determining geometric parameters from generated domain models and the modified Ship Domain Overlap Index. A case study in restricted waters on the eastern Malacca Strait validates the effectiveness of the proposed concepts and framework. Finally, the discussion on the domain patterns and the traffic characteristics is conducted. The defined domain parameters and the extracted near-miss scenarios demonstrate that the proposed detection framework has potential in traffic pattern analysis and maritime transportation safety promotion, according to the data-driven domain-based applications.
