Application of AIS in AtoN surveillance service

This paper puts forward a design of an Aid to Navigation (AtoN) wireless surveillance system based on Automatic Identification System (AIS). The system consists of AtoN with AIS, AIS base station and AtoN management center. It can provide such functions as the information gathering, managing of AtoN and the service of navigation assistance. This paper brought forward the whole design including the system work theory, the hardware structure and the software scheme of the system. And it also realized the system software of the AtoN management center. The AtoN wireless surveillance service system will be more efficient with less repair cost and less work of the supervisors. It will bring revolutionary progress in the navigation aids system.
