Data Reduction Techniques Applied on Automatic Identification System Data.

In recent years, the constant increase of waterway traffic generates a high volume of Automatic Identification System data that require a big effort to be processed and analyzed in near real-time. In this paper, we analyze an Automatic Identification System data set and we propose a data reduction technique that can be applied on Automatic Identification System data without losing any important information in order to reduce it to a manageable size data set that can be further used for analysis or can be easily used for Automatic Identification System data visualization applications.
