Live Data

A live view of current vessel AIS traffic, and near-real-time surface current estimates derived from it, is planned for this tab.

Status

Not implemented yet. Hermess already has API access to AISHub, which will be the data source (see AISHUB_API_KEY in .env.example and the client stub in aiscurrents/live_data/aishub_client.py).

Planned scope, for a future session:

• Pull recent AIS positions/speeds from the AISHub feed for a configurable area.
• Show vessel tracks on a map (in the style of the WingIT calibration site's waypoint map).
• Surface a live or recently-updated current-speed estimate along busy shipping lanes, using the method described in Approach.

This tab, and its API, will sit behind the site's shared-secret auth toggle once that data has a cost or rate limit attached to it worth protecting.
