Research on Technical Characteristics and Standards of Real AIS Aids to Navigation

Abstract

As a navigational aid integrating advanced communication technologies, real Automatic Identification System Aids to Navigation (AIS AtoN) play an indispensable role in emerging fields such as offshore wind farm marking, digital waterway construction, and bridge collision prevention. Currently, a series of standards related to AIS AtoN have been published both domestically and internationally, but there remains a gap in China regarding standards for the performance and testing requirements of real AIS AtoN. This paper introduces real AIS AtoN, its application scenarios and issues, an overview of domestic and international standards research, and related performance indicators of real AIS AtoN, highlighting the necessity for China to establish standards for the performance and testing methods of real AIS AtoN.
