A Python package for decoding Automatic Identification System (AIS) data from the Canadian Coast Guard / by Lanli Guo, Jinshan Xu, Shihan Li and Jessica Wingfield.Fs97-18/360E-PDF

"The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automated tracking system that is used in the shipping industry for monitoring global vessel traffic. Beyond its primary purpose of supporting the safety of life at sea by reducing vessel collision risk, AIS data can be used to better understand vessel impacts on the environment, such as underwater noise and vessel strike risks in whale habitat and migration routes. Before AIS data can be used for these purposes, the raw datasets must be decoded from ASCII formats. This report describes a package of Python scripts and programs which were developed to decode AIS data collected and provided by the Canadian Coast Guard"--Abstract.
