A Description Logic Approach to Discover Suspicious Itineraries from Maritime Container Trajectories

About 90% of the world's cargo is transported in maritime containers, but only less than 2% is physically inspected by custom au- thorities. The standard way to face up with this problem consists in document-based risk analysis and route-based risk indicators to target anomalies. In this paper, we exploit a logic based approach to identify suspicious patterns in a dataset of container movements. Specically, we present an ontology to explicitly formalize the knowledge of the mar- itime container domain and a formalization of two suspicious container movements to enable their discovery in a knowledge base. The formaliza- tion can be extended to support the discover of other itinerary patterns. Furthermore, the approach we presented can be the basis for future de- velopment towards the formalization and search of patterns in itineraries.
