Minneapolis, USA – From November 3 to 6, the CREXDATA partner Kpler participated at the ACM SIGSPATIAL 2025 conference in Minneapolis, USA in the industrial track.
The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems 2025 (ACM SIGSPATIAL 2025), the thirty-second edition, was hold in Minneapolis, MN, USA. The conference began as a series of symposia and workshops starting in 1993 with the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners in relation to novel systems based on geospatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information systems.
The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of geospatial data ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to data storage and query processing and indexing. The conference is the premier annual event of the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL).
Georgios Grigoropoulos, from Kpler, presented the the following paper as part of the Industrial Track Session:
“Dynamic Weather-Resilient Vessel Routing using Big AIS Data” (authors: Alexandros Troupiotis-Kapeliaris: Kpler; Georgios Grigoropoulos: Kpler; Marios Vodas: Kpler; Konstantina Bereta: Kpler).
This paper has been a major contribution from Kpler in the CREXDATA Project and presents a weather-aware vessel rerouting framework that integrates real-time meteorological forecasts with large-scale historical vessel traffic patterns from the Kpler MarineTraffic Platform observed under diverse sea conditions, aiming to enhance navigational safety during extreme weather events while maintaining maritime operational efficiency.
