Research Activities-Objectives (2/3)
SWP 2.2 Integration of AIS with Synthetic Aperture Radar
To enhance safety in sea transport by improved off-
shore traffic images and information on sea transport
activity by integrating terrestrial and suitable space based imaging resources.
To improve pollution control activity by fusing Synthetic
Aperture Radar and other satellite based earth observation with traffic images.
Ship detection
Oil spill monitoring

6. Research Activities-Objectives (3/3)
SWP 2.3 Non-AIS Location Information Monitoring
To assess means, other than Radar and AIS Class A/B, by which smaller vessels may register their position, speed and heading with VTS authorities and acquire an improved situation awareness regarding other vessels in their vicinity.

10. AIS Developments
Logical AIS Infrastructure (IALA)
According to EU Directive 2002/59/EC, establishing a Community vessel traffic monitoring and information system (VTMIS), member states shall have all necessary equipment and shore-based installations completed by the end of 2007
Planned Norwegian AIS Network ( ):
35 Physical shore stations (PSS)
3 ASM Control Centres

11. Main Research Activities – SWP 2.1
SWP 2.1 Long Range – AIS and Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT)
LR - communication platforms, including terrestrial systems (MF/HF DSC Radio) SatCom (Inmarsat-C, Orbcomm, Globalstar, Iridium a.o.) and Sat. VHF Relay;
Definition and standardisation of LR-AIS/LRIT messages and protocols for mandatory and voluntary ship reporting systems as well as reports for commercial applications;
Security and authentication aspects of LR-AIS;
Report initiation mechanisms and reporting periods;
Handover procedures between LR-AIS and VHF-AIS;
AIS service management and support to higher-level applications (VTS, MRCC, SAR, etc)

14. Previous Experience - NAUPLIOS
NAUPLIOS surveillance system is based on Long Range AIS principle, which extends VHF AIS wherever satellite communications are available. Several services are added to the basic “long range tracking”:
Open sea traffic is covered (In NAUPLIOS: 400 Nm from the coast ~ 1 day’s journey)
Automatic identification (ship data, navigation data, voyage data)
Additional data collection on:
Vessel details: owner, etc.
Cargo for commercial use
Dangerous goods for surveillance
Exchanges between authorities and vessels:
To trigger specific reporting modes: more frequent, long reports…
To transmit information msg on area entry
To exchange specific msg with one vessel
