Abstract :
Automatic identification system (AIS) is a system that enables ships to exchange information about ships and navigation, such as position, course, speed, name etc. automatically by VHF radio. The system is expected to contribute the improvement of marine traffic control and safety. In some congested waterways excessive transmission of AIS is a potential problem since the planning stage. In this study, we have developed a system that simulates AIS communication in real or simulated marine traffic considering the movement of each ship with some applications using it
