Purpose

 

This section allows configuring the order of the columns of the the AIS marine traffic information CSV file.

 

Parameters - Principal Parameters

 

The following parameters identify the column of the csv file where each parameter is specified. The value equal to -1 specifies that this parameter is optional. A value higher than -1 specifies that this parameter is mandatory, and in which column is annotated, starting from 0.

Time Stamp: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the UTC second when the report was generated by the electronic position system (EPFS) is annotated.

Type Of Mobile: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the type of mobile station is annotated .

MMSI: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the 9-digit ID for the ship’s Mobile Marine Service Identifier is annotated.

Latitude: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the latitude is annotated.

Longitude: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the longitude is annotated.

Navigational Status: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the navigation status is annotated.

ROT: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the Rate of Turn (in degrees/min) is annotated.

SOG: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the Speed Over Ground is annotated.

COG: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the Course Over Ground is annotated.

Heading: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the transmitting heading device is annotated.

IMO: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the IMO ship ID number is annotated.

Callsign: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the callsign (7 six-bit characters) is annotated.

Ship Name: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the ship name is annotated.

Ship Type: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the ship type is annotated.

Cargo Type: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the cargo type is annotated.

Width: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the ship width (in m) is annotated.

Lenght: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the ship length (in m) is annotated.

Type of Position Fixing Device: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the type of position fixing device is annotated (GPS, integrated navigation system, etc.).

Draught: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the draught (value*0.01 m) is annotated.

Destination: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the destination is annotated.

ETA: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the Estimated Time of Arrival at the destination is annotated.

Data Source Type: it identifies the column of the csv file in which the data source type is annotated.

Number Of First Lines To Skip: it identifies the number of lines to skip in case the first row in the file are filled with text. Insert 0 in case no description text is included.

Speed Factor: it identifies the speed factor to convert the value in knots*10. A value equal to 1 multiplies it for a factor of 1 (the speed is expressed in knots), a value equal to 0.1 multiplies it.

Separator: it identifies the separator delimiter used in the file.

Time Buffer In Minutes: it identifies the total time buffer to be considered during the import respect to the time extracted from a Reference Image, when provided as additional input during csv data import.
