Localized Monitoring Mobile Application for Automatic Identification System (AIS) for Sea Vessels

Smartphones are being used on a daily basis by most people. It assists every persons' needs and wants in terms of communication, entertainment, news, and many more. As times passes by, it provided more ways to help people on their everyday life. The project aims to provide a way for sea vessel's watch-standing officers to monitor the marine traffic, and to provide information to avoid collision within Philippine maritime area of responsibility. The developed systems was also conceptualized to consider monitoring unidentified ship intruders within local territory that can possibly serve as a threat to national security. This research is to create an Automatic Identification System (AIS) localized monitoring application using mobile phone. An AIS monitoring system is used to simulate actual maritime data to check the location and movement of vessels or ships within the surrounding maritime area. After actual data simulation is done in the system, results show that accurate sea vessels information are being tracked using the AIS mobile app.
