Modern Approach to Data Collection and Processing from Automatic Identification System for Ship Traffic Organization

Abstract

The article is devoted to the collection and generalization of automatic identification system (AIS) data on the movement of ships, both on inland waterways and in coastal marine areas. The list of information necessary for the further carrying out of researches on the organization of movement is defined. Attention is paid to the peculiarities of obtaining data from technical means of communication and open online resources. The approach to statistical data accumulation from AIS receiver using Raspberry Pi single-board microcomputer has been offered. The application, which reads data from the serial port and transfers them to the library and then to the PostgreSQL database management system server, is implemented. It is concluded that the proposed approach is constructive and potentially effective.
