Downsamling of AIS data

From IWRAP
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Care should be taken when downsampling AIS data to be used in IWRAP.

The interval between AIS data fixes should not be more than 6 minutes for moving vessels.

Ideally the downsampling interval should not be less that the time it takes for a vessel to pass through the smallest route leg in your model

If you need to downsample your dataset, a maximum of 1 minute intervals is preferable.

It is not recommended to downsample AIS data to intervals exceeding 6 minutes.
