A vessel track shows the location and characteristics of commercial and recreational boats as a sequence of positions transmitted by an Automatic Identification System (AIS). AIS signals are susceptible to interference and this can result in a gap within a vessel track. The distribution, type, and frequency of vessel tracks are a useful aid to understanding the risk of conflicting uses within a certain geographic area. The vessel track positions in this data set are collected and recorded from land-based antennas as part of a national network operated by the U.S. Coast Guard.
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act.

dataset
Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Compiled to meet 10 meters horizontal accuracy at 95% confidence level
Completeness Report
a) The geographic extent of these data include the conterminous United States, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
b) Presence, absence, and contiguity of a track is dependent on the distance and temporal filters applied in the track building algorithm. Parameters for these data were one nautical mile and 30 minutes.
Conceptual Consistency
These data are logically consistent
1. Filter the raw NMEA data to a one-minute sample rate and select a subset of fields using MarineCadastre.gov NMEA to SQL Server processing tools
2. Load filtered records to an SQL Server 2018 database using MarineCadastre.gov NMEA to SQL Server processing tools
3. Conduct quality and completeness check using logging results from the filter and loading process
4. Update the IMO, CallSign, VesselName, Length, Width, VesselType, and Draft from United States Coast Guard AVIS where original AIS values are missing
5. Add a new vessel type code to each record fragment that originated from the United States Coast Guard AVIS
6. Develop track line features directly from the SQL Server database using a customize version of the MarineCadastre.gov Track Builder 3.1 (64-bit version) for each month of broadcast records and for each ocean basin, using a filter setting of 30 minutes and 1 mile
7. Added field for vessel type group and populated based on the vessel type code to vessel group mapping described in attribute metadata
8. Added field for track line duration, and calculated the time in minutes between the start and end time for each track feature
9. Performed visual quality and consistency checks, and removed vessel tracks that were clearly invalid (on land) or beyond the ocean basin
10. REPAIR GEOMETRY to remove features with null geometry
