In this paper, the authors perform a comprehensive literature review on the use of data obtained from the
Automatic Identification System, with an emphasis on vessel route prediction and seaport operations.
The usage of Automatic Identification System vessel’s position data in the vessel route prediction
and seaport operations has been analyzed, to prove that Automatic Identification System data has a
large potential to improve the efficiency of maritime transport. The authors concluded that proper
vessel route prediction and route planning can improve voyage safety and reduce unnecessary costs.
Furthermore, AIS can provide port authorities with early warnings, allowing them to take preemptive
action to avoid possible congestions and unnecessary costs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
