Machine learning (ML) models accurately predict harbor sedimentation using factors like waves and wind. These models, including MLP Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and M5 model trees, offer operational decision-making potential.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Data Science
  • Hydrodynamics

Background:

  • Sedimentation in harbor basins, like the Port of Rotterdam, poses significant operational challenges.
  • Understanding and predicting sedimentation is crucial for efficient port management and maintenance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate machine learning models for predicting sedimentation in the Port of Rotterdam harbor basin.
  • To identify key environmental factors influencing sedimentation processes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of time series data for factors including waves, wind, tides, surge, and river discharge.
  • Application of two machine learning techniques: Multi-layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network (MLP ANN) and M5 model tree.
  • Feature selection to identify the most influential variables for sedimentation prediction.

Main Results:

  • The developed ML models demonstrated adequate predictive accuracy for sedimentation.
  • The M5 model tree, a set of piecewise linear regression models, proved effective.
  • Key variables influencing sedimentation were identified through data analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning models provide a viable tool for operational decision-making regarding harbor sedimentation.
  • The study highlights the effectiveness of MLP ANN and M5 model trees in this application.
