Simulator of Universal Automatic Identification System - NTS-Pro 4000(UAIS)

UAIS simulator NTS-Pro 4000 is designed to preparation navigators, of the pilots and operators Vessel Traffic System (VTS) and allows to train professional skills with the purpose of increase of a level of safety of navigation by means of effective navigation, protection of an environment, efficiency of use VTS through performance of the following functional requirements:

• in a mode " a vessel - vessel " - for the prevention of collisions;
• As a means to obtain by Coastal Services information on a vessel and its cargo;
• As the tool VTS - in a mode "a vessel - coast " (management of movement of vessels).

UAIS Simulator provides functions:

• automatic and regular transfer by a vessel to other vessels or coastal services ship information (the ship name, course, speed and other information);
• automatic reception, processing and display of the similar information from other vessels and coastal services;
• automatic tracking of vessels equipped with the simulator AIS , with the purposes of the prevention of collisions, and also control and regulation of navigation;
• exchange of safety-related email messages between vessels and coastal services.

Configuration

Simulator consists of instructor's workplace and from 2 up to 8 operator's workplace.

 

Instructor's workplace consists of computer (display, keyboard, "mouse") software and printer .

Operator's workplace consists of computer (display, keyboard, "mouse") software and imitator of AIS. For increase of functionalities operator's workplace the software of Radar/ARPA/ECDIS and board of management of a vessel can be added. For preparation of the coastal experts it is meaningful to expand iperator's workplace by a place of the operator VTS.
