Development of Vessel Monitoring and Reporting Application of Automatic Identification System

This paper presents the study discussing the developed system that utilizes Raspberry pi 3 B, dual-channel receiver, and VHF antenna for receiving AIS messages 1,2,3 and 5 from the nearby vessel to be decoded by the python LIBAIS then sends the decoded message to the shared webserver of raspberry pi and the laptop. In line with the previous studies about focusing on dynamic information from the vessel, this paper focuses on the development of vessel monitoring by receiving and decoding messages 1, 2, 3 and 5, which contain the dynamic, static, and voyage information displayed in a computer. The developed application using C# will serve as the graphical user interface to display the decoded messages in the overview tab table format that contains the vessels’ dynamic information. The static and voyage information will be displayed in the vessel info tab. The google map is the map interface that displays the location of the vessel. The user can search for the vessel information using search fields to search according to vessel ID, date, and time and checkbox filter to search only according to vessel types. In determining the system’s performance, the developed receiver was compared with the commercially available marine application. For the developed application, the researchers determine the average time of searching according to the number of data stored in the application. Lastly, the researchers survey the possible users to determine its performance.
