Prediction of significant wave height in The Java Sea using Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

The Java Sea is one of the busiest ship traffic both of domestic and international shipping and potential marine accident is quite high. It is about 43.6% of marine accidents is caused by natural factor. There are two point in this research. Point 1 at latitude 5° 55'29.03" S longitude 110°51'42.88" E and point 2 at latitude 4°39'41.99" S longitude 109°10'7.15" E. Design predictor of significant wave height is using Artificial Neural Network with backpropagation algorithm. The predictor consists of three inputs. They are significant wave height (m); wind speed (m/s) and wind direction (degree). Architecture of Artificial Neural Network is point 1 [3, 6, 1] dan point 2 [3, 3, 1]. The result RMSE in this prediction are point 1 0.006 m; point 2 0.075 m.
