AIS Marittime traffic  Environmental monitoring  H.2.8 Database Applications 

In the context of marine traffic monitoring and identifying, one of the main aspects regards the acquisition of data obtained directly or indirectly by the boats that are in transit. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires that the automatic identification system (AIS) is installed and in service on board of all vessels with gross tonnage exceeding 300 tons and all passenger ships regardless of size. A research group of the CNR Institute of Information Science and Technology (ISTI) has built an integrated system for the acquisition and integration of AIS signals. The AIS signals is directly acquired through the installation of an antenna receiving the signals on the VHF band, and interpreted through a specific software to obtain the data. Indirectly we obtain data from systems aggregators on the web, with whom agreements have been signed, and also from the General Command of the Coast Guard with whom there is an active collaboration. All acquired data are processed, cross-correlated and rendered visually through an interactive graphical interface.
