Analysisof AISavailability
Despitethe initial objections,crew membersand vesseltraffic servicestaff use an automatic identification sys-
tem in their activities.In the phaseof the systemimplementation,inabilityto receivesignalsat scheduledtimes
was raisedand evidenced.This paper analysesthe issuesof the AIS availabilityon the basisof two polish base
stations.The investigationhas been conductedby the authors in 2006,2007,20'10and 2011.Availabilityhas
been studied from the standpoint of the quality of data transmissionchannel.An attempt was made to assess
the availabilityof the Al5 servicetransmission channel.In this paper,the simplemethodologyfor the assessment
of AIS Serviceavailabilityis proposed.To meet the objectiveof the research,recordeddata derived from the Al5
BaseStation HELand KRYNICAMORSKAwere used.
Underthis assumption, it might be justifiedto perform Up to date, the researchfor AIS availabilitywas pre-
