摘要：A maritime route is used by sea transportation vessels to access the trading ports, and route design standards for the safety of maritime traffic have been established in various countries and organizations. However, no quantitative safety verification method related to route design currently exists. In this study, a novel maritime route was created and compared with the original route in Incheon, the Republic of Korea, based on the relevant automatic identification system (AIS) data. The attendant traffic density was revealed via kernel density estimation analysis of the AIS data, with the results used to create the boundary of the novel route through an image processing technique. The boundary and the centerline of the maritime route were determined using a line smoothing technique. For safety verification, the centerline of the original route and that of the novel maritime route were compared in terms of sinuosity, intersection angle, and route change envelope (RCE). The sinuosity analysis demonstrated that the route was stable in terms of the outer harbor limit, while the intersection angle analysis demonstrated that the novel maritime route intersection angle was stable. The RCE was used to objectively compare the absolute values of the distance change in the centerline.
