Public yield the relative data bank to the density of the marine traffic in the EU
The Traffic Density Maps allow to visualize in effective simple way and the naval flows
December 20, 2019
EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Given to Network) the initiative in the long term on the marine data that are supported by the Head office for the marine Transactions and the peach of the EU commission and that it has the objective to on-line create an European data bank on the marine data consultabile and easy available, has activated and been profitable it publishes the relative data bank to the density of the marine traffic in the European Union.
The digital maps Traffic Density Maps (TDM) allow to visualize in effective simple way and the flows of naval traffic and to establish therefore if an area is characterized by high or lowland traffic density. This affords, for example, to the competent authorities to carry out risk assessments, to improve the planning of the marine traffic and to in general terms increase safety of navigation.
The database is fed by the data of the naval tracking system Automatic Identification System (AIS) received from the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) almost in real time in the within of the system of monitoring of the naval traffic SafeSeaNet and coming from various sources, between which the Member States of the EU and commercial and not commercial operators, data that are messages sent from the transponders on board of the ships that transmit to information which the position and the speed of the ship and its type
Thanks to the introduced data, the users can consult the database navigating, for example, between months and years in order to verify as the naval traffic has been transformed and can choose to visualize the totality of the traffic flows or to concentrate themselves on a ship type.
