22 Uses of AIS for Freight Data Validation Shipping Routes Cumulative tracks allow identification and validation of shipping routes Visual recording of actual route taken Can segment by attributes associated with the signal; ship type, draft, etc. Can detect seasonality or alternate operating routes Cargo handling facilities and other navigation points of interest Cumulative data on stopped vessels may identify new facilities Duration and location of stop may identify activity type Time and Cost Analysis Time/Distance traveled is recorded accurately Hourly/Periodic operating costs can be calculated Benefit/Cost analysis of reducing delays at locks more accurate
