AIS stands for: "Automatic Identification System" What is AIS? According to IALA regulations, AIS is defined as follows: Very simply, the AIS is a broadcast Transponder system, operating in the VHF maritime mobile Band. It is capable of sending ship information such as identification, position course, speed and more, to other ships and to shore. It can handle multiple reports at rapid update rates and uses Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) technology to meet these high broadcast rates and ensure reliable and robust ship to ship operation. What are the performance standards of AIS? The IMO defines the performance standards as follows: Ship to Ship working Ship to Shore working, including Long Range Application Automatic and continuous operation Provision of information messaging Utilization of maritime VHF channels Which modules make up an AIS-Transponder? The Modules: DGPS / GPS receiver VHF Radio Antenna Computer (CPU) Power Supply Appropriate application software connects the individual modules. In which modes does AIS function? AIS is required to function flawlessly in a variety of modes. The relevant regulations require: The system shall be capable of - An "autonomous and continuous" mode for operation in all areas. This mode shall be capable of being switched to/from one of the following alternate modes by a competent authority; - An "assigned" mode for operation in an area subject to a competent authority responsible for traffic monitoring such that the data transmission interval and/or time slots may be set remotely by that authority; - A "polling or controlled" mode, where the data transfer occurs in response to interrogation from a ship or competent authority. GlobalWatchTM UAIS Installation Manual 1 Y1-03-0177A Version 1.0 1.2 AIS in an Operational Environment This illustration depicts a typical AIS System, where two or more AIS equipped vessels (and shore based systems) are automatically communicating with each other. On the bottom, a typical GlobalWatchTM UAIS installation in a common environment is shown. The GlobalWatchTM UAIS is connected to the vessels emergency power supply, and in connection with the VHF, and GPS-Antennas, the minimal requirements for Transponder operation are fulfilled. Both vessels in the above illustration are equipped with a GlobalWatchTM UAIS (or any other certified AIS-Transponder). Due to "Time ­ Synchronization" they use the same organization of free and allocated windows (Slots) in the shared VHF Data Link (this method is called "Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access") to send and receive messages. Without the necessity of any active interaction, both vessels know exactly who or what is cruising nearby and where the individual object is heading. GlobalWatchTM UAIS Installation Manual 2 Y1-03-0177A Version 1.0 1.3 AIS Networks The scenario below shows a full AIS coverage area (including all derivates and complete shore infrastructure). The Carriage Requirement currently applies exclusively to SOLAS Vessels, but following the current international discussions on maritime security; it is common understanding that other possible AIS users will follow very soon. Shore Based infrastructure will be among the first groups to become AIS equipped. GlobalWatchTM UAIS Installation Manual 3 Y1-03-0177A Version 1.0 1.4 Carriage Requirement 1.4.1 Chapter V (Safety of Navigation) Regulation 19, of the SOLAS Convention. IMO regulations require sea vessels from a size of 300 GT in international and 500 GT in national waters to be equipped with an AIS-Transponder. The implementation of this legislation began on 1. July 2002 and will be enforced in the following stages: · · · · · · · July 2002 for all vessels built from this period onwards July 2003 for all passenger ships and all tankers which were built before 1. July 2002 July 2004 for all ships of 50.000 GT and above which were built before 1. July 2002 July 2005 for all ships from 10.000 GT up to under 50.000 which were built before 1. July 2002 July 2006 for all ships from 3.000 GT up to under 10,000 which were built before 1. July 2002 July 2007 for all ships from 300 GT up to under 3.000 which were built before 1. July 2002 ...
