PURPOSE OF AIS.
The AIS system allows all ships that equip it to exchange information about navigation. This data
can help other ships plan their routes and increase safety. Allows you to include AtoN navigation
aids by equipping them with AIS equipment as part of the navigation environment.
The data that can be exchanged is divided into three categories:
STATIC
DYNAMIC
TRIP
IMO number
Coordenadas UTC
Draft
Number
Course
Dangerous goods
Sleeve and longing
Speed
ETA / Destination
Type of boat
Navigation status
Route
GPS antenna position
Rudder
Turning speed
Static information is programmed manually, the dynamics are obtained from the ship's sensors
and the travel is regularly updated by the crew during the trip.
As the AIS transponder is a VHF data communication, it allows to identify other ships behind
obstacles that with the use of radar would not be seen, and thus be prevented before a visual
contact.
