The development of web-based framework of vessel information system using AIS data

In this paper we describe the development of a web-based framework of vessel information system using AIS data to monitor the movement of ship or vessel. The system consist of data acquisition module, data storage module, data management module, visualization and monitoring module. The data acquisition module functions to receive AIS data from all vessels within certain radius and stored in the database by storage module and data management module. Then, the visualization module will display interactively the movement of the vessels. The results show that marine traffic can be visualized by the system and information can be provided in a real time manner through web technology.
