Abstract

Research related to the technology developed for the Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) is currently underway. Although one of those core technologies is collision-avoidance technology for ship operators at sea, no research has been done to objectively quantify its effectiveness. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop an evaluation model to examine the collision-avoidance ability of MASS. Ship-control experts performed a ship-handling simulation for each ship encounter type using the Full Mission Ship-handling Simulator (FMSS). We used the resulting data and technical statistics, to develop an evaluation model that utilized FMSS to quantify the operational capability of the collision-avoidance technology. This evaluation model also can be used at sea to assess deck officers' ability to use the technology and to improve and develop other MASS technologies.

최근 자율운항선박(Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship, MASS) 기술개발에 관련 연구들이 활발하게 수행되고 있다. MASS의 핵심 기술 중 하나는 해상에서 항해사를 대신하여 조우하는 선박에 대한 충돌회피기술이다. 기존 자동 충돌회피기술 개발관련 연구들을 조사한 결과, 자동충돌회피기술을 객관적으로 정량화 할 수 있는 평가모델에 대한 연구는 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MASS의 충돌회피 능력을 객관적으로 검증하기 위한 평가모델을 개발하였다. 연구방법은 COLREGs에 대한 전문지식과 실무조선 경험이 많은 선박조종전문가가 Full Mission Ship-handling Simulator(FMSS)를 이용하여 선박 조우형태별 선박조종시뮬레이션을 수행하고 그 결과 데이터를 계측하고 기술 통계 처리하여 것이며, 개발된 평가모델을 통해서, MASS의 운항능력을 정량적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 본 연구에서 개발된 충돌회피 평가모델을 이용하여 해상에서 MASS의 충돌회피 능력을 정량 평가 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 이 모델을 이용하면 자율운항선박의 충돌회피능력을 객관적으로 평가 가능하고 부족한 부분을 수정·보완하는데 이용함으로서 자율운항선박 기술개발에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 사료되며, 또한 항해사의 충돌회피능력 평가에도 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
