• Abstract: Maritime transport is a pivotal logistics mode for the long-distance and bulk transportation of goods. However, the intricate planning involved in this mode is often hindered by uncertainties, including weather conditions, cargo diversity, and port dynamics, leading to increased costs. Consequently, accurately estimating vessel total (stay) time at port and potential delays becomes imperative for effective planning and scheduling in port operations. This study aims to develop a port operation solution with competitive prediction and classification capabilities for estimating vessel Total and Delay times. This research addresses a significant gap in port analysis models for vessel Stay and Delay times, offering a valuable contribution to the field of maritime logistics. The proposed solution is designed to assist decision-making in port environments and predict service delays. This is demonstrated through a case study on Brazil ports. Additionally, feature analysis is used to understand the key factors impacting maritime logistics, enhancing the overall understanding of the complexities involved in port operations.

  Occlusion-aware planning often requires communicating the information of the occluded object to the ego agent for safe navigation. In this paper, we design an end-to-end network that cooperatively estimates the current states of occluded pedestrian in the reference frame of ego agent. We show that the uncertainty-aware trajectory prediction of occluded pedestrian by the ego agent is almost similar to the ground truth trajectory assuming no occlusion.

We propose a plug-and-play meta-algorithm called "Predictive Streamer" that can adapt any snapshot-based forecaster into a streaming forecaster.
