Abstract

The 2009 United States Automatic Identification System Database contains vessel traffic data for planning purposes within the U.S. coastal waters. The database is composed of 204 self-contained File Geodatabases (FGDB). Each FGDB represents one month of data for a single UTM zone. The UTM zones represented cover the entire United States and include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. Each FGDB consists of one feature class, four tables, and two relationship classes. The Broadcast point feature class contains the position reports, which have been pre-filtered to a one-minute time step. The Voyage table contains elements of the static data reports that are updated for each ship voyage. The Vessel table contains elements of the static data reports that are specific to a particular vessel. The BaseStations table lists the base stations collecting data for a particular month/UTM zone. The AttributeUnits table contains a list of units for each of the attribute fields in the Broadcast, Voyage, and Vessel tables. The BroadcastHasVessel relationship class relates the broadcast points to the vessel table records. The BroadcastHasVoyage relationship class relates the broadcast points to the voyage table records.

Activity Log

Activity Log 1

CC ID: 650774
Activity Date/Time: 2017-02-03
Description:

Date that the source FGDC record was last modified.

Activity Log 2

CC ID: 650773
Activity Date/Time: 2017-11-14
Description:

Converted from FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml.pl' script. Contact Tyler Christensen (NOS) for details.

Data Quality

Accuracy:

The attributes in this dataset are believed to be accurate.

Completeness Report:

Points were filtered to a one-minute time step before publishing the data. Data for June 5 through June 30 2009 were missing from the original database and are therefore not included in this dataset.

Conceptual Consistency:

Point data. No topology between points.
