AIS data exchange protocol study and embedded software development for maritime navigation

The AIS is one among the standards of radio communication system to be approved in the whole of the maritime environment. The adoption of AIS technology as a radio data maritime network that hopes for the rise of added values to the services of maritime industry allowing not only the safety of the ships and the environmental protection, but also improving the organization of the ports and the operations. The goal of this work consists on implementing the protocol layers of mobile AIS station on a DSP by using an embedded operating system: Visual DSP kernel. The solution comprises embedded software for both class A and class B AIS mobile equipment that can use CSTDMA or SOTDMA.
