Analysing Big Data in ArcGIS

1

AIS based risk modelling

Esri European Petroleum GIS Conference 2014

Introduction

Large amounts of data are produced from monitoring systems

Processing and analysing this data provides a challenge

How does DNV GL use ‘Big data’ – AIS vessel tracking

Environmental Modelling and GIS unit within Oil & Gas, DNV GL, Oslo

– DNV GL - International company headquartered in Norway

– Global classification, certification, technical assurance and advisory company

GIS used in risk modelling and visualisation for customers

Many projects use AIS data

How have we adapted to increasing amounts of AIS data

Examples from Oil & Gas and Maritime sectors

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

What is AIS

AIS - Automatic Identification System - vessel tracking data

Create lines – append lines spanning multiple days

Join to ship database to get attributes e.g Vessel type & size, engine & fuel type

Analysis examples

Examples where AIS data are used in risk modelling

5

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

View vessel traffic around an offshore installation

6

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Calculate vessel density around installation – collision risk

7

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Risk to pipelines from fishing activity

8

Installation

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Number of fishing vessels per grid cell – quantifies risk

9

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Fishing activity vs. depth – risk from vessel anchors

10

Developing risk models in ArcGIS

AIS data used in further analysis

– AIS data from ArcGIS often used as input to DNV GL risk models

– Results visualised/mapped in ArcGIS

Risk models increasingly developed in ArcGIS:

11

AIS

Database

Process AIS data in ArcGIS

Run risk model

Map/

Visualisation

Data export for users

Excel/Access

ArcGIS

Input accident frequencies from Excel

Run risk model - Python

How we previously handled AIS data

– Data in SQL Server accessed via IBM Cognos

– Imported text files from Cognos into ArcGIS

Challenges:

– Large text files, lacking data structure

– Many steps - possibility of errors

– Limited geographic selection

– Time consuming

– Increasing data quantities

– Historical data

– Global data

Need to improve access to AIS ‘Big data’

13

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

What is Big data?

Big data – …a collection of data sets so large and complex …difficult to process

using … traditional data processing applications (Wikipedia)

Example from DNV GL:

Database of > 2,5 billion AIS points

14

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Solution for handling AIS data

IBM Netezza data warehouse implemented to improve data access

Implemented in existing Cognos environment

What is Netezza:

Data warehouse appliance from IBM

Provides rapid access and analysis of ‘Big data’

Includes a Spatial Esri package

AIS data readable directly in ArcGIS

15

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Making data available to ArcMap from Netezza

16

Netezza Spatial Esri

package

AIS data imported

from supplier

Spatial data

format

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Accessing data in Netezza from ArcGIS

Install IBM Netezza ODBC driver

Add data as normal – geographic data has own icon

Data access via:

ArcToolbox Query Layer

Python

17

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

ArcToolbox Query Layer

Processing carried out on server

Select geographical area

Points mapped directly in ArcGIS

Data downloadable to ArcGIS

Work reduced from days to minutes

18

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Allows analysis of global AIS data

19

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Serving maps to users - ArcGIS Server

ArcGIS Server service for AIS data created

Issues creating service for whole dataset

20

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Serving maps to users - Cognos

Cognos use spatial data from Netezza

Esri Maps for Cognos

Implemented simple mapping tool

21

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Limitations

– ArcGIS cannot write to Netezza

– Issues creating ArcGIS service

– No support for raster

– Limited user base

22

DNV GL © 2014 7th November 2014

Summary

Advantages of implementing solution:

– Enables significantly improved access to AIS data

– Allows analysis which was not previously possible

– Part of existing data warehouse

– Ability for existing non-GIS users to analyse data using familiar tools
