Towards joint analysis of multiple types
Events and corresponding trajectories

 near-encounter relationships between ships

 (a) Extracted events of distance less than 100 m to the nearest ship
 (b) The events in which at least one of the ships decreased speed by 10
km/h or more. The pie charts show the counts (cf. to all).
