Mapping Vessel Path of Marine Traffic Density of Port Klang, Malaysia using Automatic Identification System (AIS) Data
Masnawi Mustaffa, Noor Hasnita Ahmat, Shaharudin Ahmad
Abstract: The Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology is a system that enables a vessel to get information about encountered vessel such as their position, course, speed and others automatically by very high frequency (VHF) radio transmission. This technology has been widely applied in maritime industry to contribute the improvement of marine traffic control and safety. This project is interested to analyse the AIS data collected in order to examines the movements of vessels that transit at Port Klang and Strait of Malacca by mapping the vessels path based on its position (latitude and longitude). The mappings are then investigate and evaluate to visualise the flow of vessel traffic density using the AIS system
