Package ist.palcom.services.ais Description

Receives and parses GPS positions of all seagoing vessels above a given size, along with the name of the vessel.

Package Specification

The AISReaderService is a PalCom service that wraps the communication with a hardware AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver (connected through a serial connection).

The ShipInfo and AISListener is used by the service internally, and combined with an AISSource they allow the use of the AIS functionality outside the PalCom framework.

A convenience class AISDevice exists, that will start a PalCom device on which a single AISService is running.
