Marine Traffic Data of Corpus Christi, Texas.
Abstract
Data was recorded on the marine traffic and VHF-FM marine communications channel usage at Corpus Christi, Texas. The marine traffic data was recorded by means of time-lapse photography of a radar display at Sun Oil Pipeline Dock, Ingleside, Texas. Recordings were made of the communications on VHF-FM maritime mobile Channels 13 and 16 as received at the site. The daily average of the marine traffic, including large, medium, small and tugs-in-tow, transiting the main ship channel and the Intracoastal Waterway at Corpus Christi was 68. Approximately 150 hours of communications on VHF-FM Channels 13 and 16 were recorded and monitored to determine the channel efficiency (i.e. the percentage of valid messages) and utilization. The Channel 13 efficiency at Corpus Christi was 41.23%, the utilization was 3.80%. The Channel 16 efficiency was 52.53%, the utilization was 5.06%. (Author)
