Time Series Prediction of Port Container Throughput Using Machine Learning Models
摘要
Predicting container throughput through a port is critical for effectively planning and optimizing port operations, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs and effective resource allocation and ultimately contributing to the competitiveness and resilience of port ecosystems. In this study five different machine learning models are used to model and train the container throughput of agro products through Cochin port. The daily vise variation of agro products during 2018–2022 were used. The model developed are used to forecast the agro product volume of containers for the next five years with validation of actual data in the year 2023. Results shows that among the five different ML models, linear regression is the most suitable candidate for the time series forecasting of agro products export through Cochin port.
