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 and data content. Therefore, In this study, it is aimed to determine the benefits of the Satellite-based Automatic Identification System (S-AIS) and how to take advantage of this system within the scope of Intelligent Transport Systems. Information was sought from the first-hand sources as much as possible, i.e official sources such as International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) etc. As a result of the literature review, it is found that there is no any comprehensive Turkish publication about Satellite-based Automatic Identification System. In order to understand the Satellite-Based Automatic Identification System, the terrestrial AIS is mentioned and basic information is given about how this system can be extended into space. Since S-AIS technology can benefit many maritime stakeholders, various military institutions, commercial companies and research organizations are working on this issue. If the awareness of the importance of this issue in our country increases, it is possible to create added value by utilizing this technology. It is aimed to enable public and private sector in Turkey to make use of this system by enabling them to focus on this field. The main purpose of the research; to provide ideas and basic information to relevant stakeholders in maritime. However, in order to enable this study to be understood by readers who are not familiar with the maritime terminology, the sentences are simplified and some additional information is included, and in certain points it is avoided from using the maritime terminology. Systems and technologies in S-AIS require serious expertise. Cooperation should be established in different fields of expertise on how to benefit from S-AIS technology.

Based on the literature and the ideas presented in this study, it is obvious that AIS and S-AIS Technologies have a vast application areas and benefits.
