The Kpler feed type in ArcGIS Velocity connects to Kpler to ingest automatic identification system (AIS) data, providing real-time visibility into global maritime vessel movements.
Examples
Es folgen einige Beispiele für Anwendungsfälle für den Feed:
- A maritime logistics company uses the Kpler feed to monitor real‑time vessel movements, identify expected arrivals, berthing delays, and deviations from scheduled routes.
- A national government agency uses the Kpler feed for vessel tracking congestion monitoring and to assess maritime traffic density and high-risk congestion zones for safety and compliance.
Usage notes
Beachten Sie beim Arbeiten mit dem Feed Folgendes:
- The feed uses port 9196; you will need to have this port opened in your firewall to use the Kpler feed.
- You can create consumer groups by using your provided consumer group prefix and appending a unique suffix. For example, if your prefix is cityname-group, the new consumer group IDs include cityname-group-example1 or cityname-group-example2.
- Velocity automatically handles the data schema. Adding fields is not supported because the schema is predetermined and based on the data provided by Kpler.
- Velocity automatically handles the Date and time and Track ID parameters for the feed.
- The data provided by Kpler is in the JSON data format, so the Location parameter is handled automatically when identifying key fields.
Parameters
Nachfolgend werden die Parameter für den Feed beschrieben:
| Parameter | Description | Data type |

Each consumer group can have only one active feed. You can create multiple feeds using the same consumer group, but only one of those feeds can be actively ingesting data.
