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
A continuación se enumeran algunos ejemplos de casos de uso del 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
Tenga en cuenta lo siguiente al trabajar con el feed:
- 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.
