Hi 👋
First off, thanks for open-sourcing this — I've been studying your Port Congestion Predictor to learn how AIS data can be used for port congestion analysis, and the architecture (geofencing + ML TAT prediction + the background orchestrator) is really well thought out.
I'm trying to build a similar project from scratch as a learning exercise, and I've gotten the geofence engine and a stand-in ML model working. Where I'm stuck is the data side, so I was hoping you could point me in the right direction:
- For the historical port-stay records the ML model trains on, were those internal/proprietary, or is there a public source you'd recommend for equivalent data?
- Which AIS provider did you use (VesselFinder, MarineTraffic, AISStream, etc.), and would you suggest it for a hobby/learning project?
- For the port line-up scraping, were the port authority sites the main source, or did you pull from somewhere else?
Totally understand if some of the data was internal and can't be shared — I'm really just looking for guidance on where to find similar public data so I can replicate the approach myself.
Thanks again for putting this out there, and no rush on a reply!
