What do you do with all the data you collect from an AIS Reciver? Show a months worth of Traffic at once!
http://blog.halifaxshippingnews.ca/2012/10/one-month-of-traffic-visualized.htmlThe map was generated from the logs from Shipplotter. All the underway entries were collected, and imported as points to Arcgis. They were then converted to tracks, and applied to a basemap.
The plan is to do this with a full year of traffic, which is aproximately 1.2gb of data.
