Description

Pyrate is a software architecture and suite of algorithms for the analysis of AIS data originating from ship-borne transceivers and collected by satellites and shore-based receivers. The different tools engage in an efficient and modular way, hence they are substitutable and extendable in a dynamic fashion. The primary goal is to validate and clean the dataset, extract information on shipping patterns and shipping routes. To make information easily discoverable, the data is stored in a variety of database types and formats.
