Abstract
Automatic Identification System (AIS) is used for security
of ships and ports, their identification and protection of marine
environment.
Correct installation of AIS device and integration with
navigation equipment is of great importance for the correct
functioning of the system. To increase system accuracy
correct input of data to the system is significant. Correct data
interpretation depends on seafarer’s ability to recognize errors.
In order for the seafarer to get acquainted with the system as
well as its advantages and disadvantages high-quality seafarers’
training in the use of AIS is of utmost importance. AIS is not a
navigation aid, nevertheless it can be used as a device to facilitate
navigation.
In this paper the authors are analysing AIS errors and
proposing measures for improvement of its functioning.
