빅데이터, AI, 인공지능 등 기술이 발전함에 있어서 자율운항도입에 따른 VTS 체계변화에 대한 인식이 필요한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 자율운항선박이 상용화함에 따라 요구되는 적합성을 제고하기 위해 영향을 미치는 내외적인 환경요인들을 전문가집단의 브레인스토밍, 설문조사, 인터뷰 등 다방면으로 조사하고, 해당 요소를 기반으로 TOWS분석을 통해 강점(Strength), 약점(Weakness), 기회(Opportunities), 위협(Threats)의 각 요소를 상호 결합해 전략주제 도출 및 새로운 관제절차와 관련 기술, 자율운항 교육프로그램, 사이버 보안조치, 자율운항 관련 알고리즘 구성 요소 등 구체적 실행계획을 제시함으로써 예측되는 변화 대응에 기여하고자 한다.

VTS가 국제적으로 성공하기 위해서는 유엔해양법협약의 기본정신에 따라 IMO차원의 국제협약이 마련되어야 하며, 국내 이행입법이 도입되어 법적 실효성을 확보해야 한다. 또한 주변국가간 협력체제를 통한 광역 VTS의 도입으로 연안국의 관할권을 벗어나는 수역에서의 해양사고발생을 방지하고(사전 예방), 사고선박에 대한 해난구조체계(사후구제)를 효과적으로 운영하기 위한 국제법적 제도가 도입되어야 하므로, 이에 대한 기초검토로써의 의미를 가진다.

In this paper, authors introduce about wide vessel traffic service(VTS) system using automatic identification system(AIS). In order to develop the prototype of wide VTS system, Koreasat is used for AIS. In this system, ship position obtained by using GPS is reported automatically to VTS center through Koreasat. By using this system, VTS center can cover more wide area than the case using radar only. And the uncertainty of information decreases. The results of test show the good possibility of VTS using satellite and AIS.

The fundamental objectives of vessel traffic services (VTS) are the safety of traffic, efficient traffic flow and the protection of marine environment. And the coverge of VTS is used to be within the port and their approaches. It , however, is tend to expand the coverge beyond the radar coverage and the vessel carrying dangerous cargo. Therefore this study aims to investigate the international tendancy of the extended VTS system, and take a field test of using KOREASAT for the extended VTS system in Korean coastal waters. As the results of the test, KOREASAT is proved to be one of the alternatives for extended VTS system.

Since March 15, 2022, the korea coast guard has revised the qualification standards for VTSO so that they can take the VTSO recruitment test under the korea coast guard without boarding experience to diversify their recruitment routes. By this study, we looked into VTS working circumstances and reviewed important provisions about enactment and revision of VTS regulations and VTS certificate system so far to compare and analyze pros and cons of each control task performance method by illustrations which are occasions in both home and foreign control operation. And also, I suggest ways to improve VTSO task in future make a VTSO credential demonstration system settle down successfully.

해상교통관제는 선박 통항의 안전과 효율성을 증진시키고 환경을 보호하는데 큰 기여를 하였다. 이러한 성과를 바탕으로 현재는 선박이 항만으로 진입하기 이전 단계에서부터 미리 관제를 실시하여 해양사고의 위험을 사전에 방지하고자 관제범위가 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 이를 위해서는 통항 선박에 관련된 정보가 지속적으로 관리 유지되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 항만 관제와 인근 관제 및 접근 관제와의 효율적인 연계 및 운영 방안을 집중적으로 검토하였다. IALA에서 논의되고 있는 IVEF(Inter-VTS Exchange Format) 및 광역 AIS망을 이용하여 인근 관제실 간에 관제정보를 연계하는 방안을 살펴보고, 관제실 및 유관기관 간에 정보의 원활한 공유를 통해서 관제수역의 확대에 따른 VTS의 효율적인 운영 방안을 모색하여 보았다.

A virtual vessel traffic control system is introduced to contribute to prevent a marine accident, e.g. ship collision or stranding. from happening. The system that comes from VTS limitaions, consists of both data acquisition by satellite remote sensing and a simulation of traffic environment stress (here, INOUE model used) based on the satellite data. Remotely sensed data cab be used to provide timely and detailed information about the marine safety, including the location, speed and direction of ships, and help us operate vessels safely and efficiently. If in the future, e.g. 5-minute after, environmental stress values that a ship may encounter on a voyage can be available, proper actions can be taken to prevent accidents. It lastly can be shown that JERS satellite data are used to track ships and extract their information.

Ship detection from satellite remote sensing is a crucial application for global monitoring for the purpose of protecting the marine environment and ensuring marine security. It permits to monitor sea traffic including fisheries, and to associate ships with oil discharge. An automatic ship detection approach for RADARSAT Fine Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image is described and assessed using in situ ship validation information collected during field experiments conducted on August 6, 2004. Ship detection algorithms developed here consist of five stages: calibration, land masking, prescreening, point positioning, and discrimination. The fine image was acquired of Ulsan Port, located in southeast Korea, and during the acquisition, wind speeds between 0 m/s and 0.4 m/s were reported. The detection approach is applied to anchoring ships in the anchorage area of the port and its results are compared with validation data based on Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) radar. Our analysis for anchoring ships, above 68 m in length (LOA), indicates a 100% ship detection rate for the RADARSAT single beam mode. It is shown that the ship detection performance of SAR for smaller ships like barge could be higher than the land-based radar. The proposed method is also applied to estimate the ship's dimensions of length and breadth from SAR radar cross section(RCS), but those values were comparatively higher than the actual sizes because of layover and shadow effects of SAR.

In this study, we propose a method for evaluating the risk of collision between ships to support determination on the risk of collision in a situation in which ships encounter each other and to prevent collision accidents. Because several uncertainties are involved in the navigation of a ship, must be considered when evaluating the risk of collision. We apply the Dempster-Shafer theory to manage this uncertainty and evaluate the collision risk of each target vessel in real time. The distance at the closest point approach (DCPA), time to the closest point approach (TCPA), distance from another vessel, relative bearing, and velocity ratio are used as evaluation factors for ship collision risk. The basic probability assignments (BPAs) calculated by membership functions for each evaluation factor are fused through the combination rule of the Dempster-Shafer theory. As a result of the experiment using automatic identification system (AIS) data collected in situations where ships actually encounter each other, the suitability of evaluation was verified. By evaluating the risk of collision in real time in encounter situations between ships, collision accidents caused by human errora can be prevented. This is expected to be used for vessel traffic service systems and collision avoidance systems for autonomous ships.
