Özet:
Comprehension of the benefits of big data is vital for both governmental and commercial parties. Satellite-based Automatic Identification System (S-AIS) can be defined as big data in terms of its data production volume and data content. In this study, it is aimed to explain the potential benefits of Satellite-based Automatic Identification System which is within the scope of Intelligent Transportation Systems and to explain how maritime stakeholders in our country can benefit from this technology. The aim was to raise awareness of the importance of this issue in our country by presenting ideas and basic information to relevant stakeholders in maritime. As a result of the study, it was understood that Turkish public and private sector could create added value in case they use this technology, and the feedback received from the private sector in this regard supported the ideas presented in this study. As a result of the literature review, no Turkish publication about Satellite-based Automatic Identification System was found. As can be seen from the literature review, this is the first study which provides basic information on the potential benefits of this technology in Turkey. Although there are some studies on the benefits of AIS and S-AIS technologies in the literature, no academic studies on direct commercial benefits have been found. It is tried to contribute to the maximum utilisation from S-AIS technology by Turkish maritime stakeholders through adding new ideas to the information which is obtained from various foreign publications. Benefits of S-AIS technology are divided into five main groups: safety, security, environmental, technical and commercial. Feedback was received from the industry by asking the chartering experts how much the maritime stakeholders who are directly or indirectly involved in commercial transactions benefit from the commercial benefits of S-AIS technology. Thus, it has been tried to determine to what extent the theoretical benefit potential can be beneficial in practical applications. Considering the literature review and the ideas presented, it is clear that AIS and S-AIS technologies have many different benefits. Since most maritime stakeholders can benefit from S-AIS technology, various military organizations, commercial companies and research organizations are working on this. The systems and technologies in S-AIS require considerable expertise. Knowledge and experience support should be obtained from different fields of expertise on how to make use of S-AIS technology and cooperation should be established. In order to understand the Satellite-Based Automatic Identification System, the terrestrial AIS is mentioned and basic information is given first about how this system can be extended into space.
