Prediction of the amount of vessels arriving at inland port based on time series analysis

This paper focused on the prediction of the amount of vessels arriving at the inland port. Based on the statistical data, this paper analyzed the process of time series modeling and model test, set up prediction model of the amount of vessels by using time series analysis method, R programming language, and SAS statistical software. The whole process was described in detail based on an example. It proved that the amount of vessels arriving at the inland port was predicted very well. It lays the foundation for inland port planning.
