See how vessels
move between areas.

Flows reveals the movement of vessels between two or more areas — how many travelled from one to another, and where traffic concentrates. Draw your areas on the map, then explore the connections between them.

How to get there

From map to flows in four steps

Flows lives inside the map. There's no separate page to fill in — you start from the areas you draw, in either Live or History mode.

Place your areas

Draw at least two areas with Radius or Polygon mode — in Live or History mode.

Right-click an area

Open the context menu and choose “View flow between areas”.

Pick a date

Select the day you want to analyse and confirm.

Read the flows

See the connections between your areas, with volume and direction at a glance.

Two ways in

Start from Live or History

Flows works from the areas you draw on the map. Place them in Live mode to work from the current picture, or in History mode to analyse a past day — then right-click an area and choose “View flow between areas”.

  • Right-click menu: “View flow between areas”
  • Available in both Live and History mode
  • No separate form to fill in — you start from the map
  • Also reachable via the Flows pill in History mode

At least two areas

Flows needs a from and a to

A flow is movement between areas, so you need at least two. With only one area placed, UAIS will let you know — draw a second area and you're ready to go.

  • Minimum of two areas to explore a flow
  • Add more areas for a richer, multi-point picture
  • Use Radius for quick spots, Polygon for exact shapes
  • Clear prompt when an area is still missing
Place at least 2 areas to explore flows
Choose a date

Pick the day to analyse

Once your areas are set, choose the date you want to look at. UAIS calculates the flows between your areas for that day and draws them on the map.

  • Select any available date and confirm
  • Compare different days by running it again
  • Built on the same history data as the rest of UAIS
  • Cancel any time to adjust your areas first
Select a date to see flows between these areas

See where the traffic goes

UAIS draws the connections between your areas, so you can see at a glance how vessels moved between them — which routes carried the most traffic, and which connections barely registered.

  • Connections drawn directly between your areas
  • Volume and direction shown at a glance
  • Spot the busiest and the quietest links
  • Turn raw movement into a clear picture

Tips

Get the most out of Flows

More areas, richer picture

Two areas show a single connection. Add more to map how traffic spreads across a whole region.

Use History for past days

To analyse a specific day, start in History mode so you're working from that day's data.

Keep areas tight

Areas that are too wide catch passing traffic. Keep them close to the real feature for cleaner flows.

Compare dates

Run the same areas on different dates to see how flows shift over time.

Explore flows on the map

Flows lives inside UAIS. Open the map, place at least two areas, and right-click to choose “View flow between areas”.
