The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automatic tracking
system used on ships and by vessel traffic services (VTS) for
identifying and locating vessels by electronically exchanging data with
other nearby ships and AIS Base stations. AIS information supplements
marine radar, which continues to be the primary method of collision
avoidance for water transport.
