Abstract

Distress accidents occur annually by and failure of sea rescue and time delay lead to fatal accident. In the event of maritime distress, most of the equipments used for search and rescue are in responsible for the position of ships. An MOB equipment is a representative equipment for lifesaving and uses AIS communication method. However, the MOB equipment has problems of interference with existing vessel traffic process and it is difficult to apply because there is no proper certification standard. Therefore, this paper proposes a maritime search and rescue supporting system using smartphone. Utilizing the widely constructed IT infrastructure, it collects position information of the fishing boat and leisure ship using GPS embedded in the smartphone. Also the developed system supports to participate in the rescue by sending the information about the occurrence of the survivor in a certain area to the ship operator.

해양/선박 사고 등으로 인하여 매년 해상 인명 조난사고가 발생하고 있으며, 구조 시간 지연 등으로 인하여 치명적 사고로 연결되고 있다. 해상 조난사고가 발생한 경우 수색 및 구조 작업에 활용되는 장비는 대부분 선박의 위치를 발신하는 역할을 수행하며, 인명 구조를 위한 대표적인 장비인 MOB는 AIS 통신방식을 사용하고 있어 기존 선박 관제프로세스에서의 간섭 문제와 적합한 인증기준이 마련되어 있지 않아 적용에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 널리 구축되어 있는 IT 인프라를 기반으로 스마트폰에 내장된 GPS 등의 정보를 활용하여 구조를 요청하고, 이를 통해 해상 수색 구조를 지원해주기 위한 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 조난자 발생에 대한 알람과 조난 위치정보 등을 일정한 구역 내 구조 가능자 혹은 선박 운항자에게 전송하여 구조 지원을 유도하기 위한 목적을 가진다.
