울산항은 입출항 선박의 항행안전을 위해 1996년 9월부터 해상교통관제실(VTS)을 설치운영하고 있으나 많은 물동량으로 빈번한 선박통항과 액화가스, 케미컬 등의 위험화물운송선박의 통항 등의 여러 가지 위험요소가 상존하고 있는 개항장이다. 특히 현대 미포조선소와 인근에 산재해 있는 중소 조선소 등에서 발생되고 있는 선박 조립용 블록을 운송하는 예 부선들의 빈번한 운항은 울산항의 안전한 물류유통에 많은 어려움을 야기하고 있는 실정이다. 한편 울산항 해상교통관제실에서는 레이더사이트의 운항선박에 대한 데이터, PORT-MIS의 선박관련 데이터 및 최근 선박자동식별장치(AIS)의 데이터 등 많은 정보들에 의해 운항 선박들의 항행 안전을 도모하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선박 조립용 블록을 주로 운송하는 울산항의 (주)보성해상개발에서 TRS를 이용한 자체 운항관리실을 운용하여 운송효율과 안전운항을 노력하고 있는 상황과 그 결과 울산항 해상교통관제에 미치는 효과에 대해 분석하여 그 효율성을 나타내었다.

In this paper, usefulness of marine radar for water waves measurement in coastal waters is presented. We installed a marine radar to acquire radar images of water wave around light beacon at Jujeon in Ulsan. Also, a series of analysis procedures for obtaining the wave information from the acquired image is described with a schematic diagram. We compared analysis results of radar images with measurement values using wave height gauge at light beacon. In order to improve accuracy of analysis results, detailed water depth information is essential. In conclusion, in case of the use of radar for water waves measurement, it is shown that it is very necessary to increase the accuracy of measurement by consideration of the water depth in the dispersion relation of water waves.

Aids to Navigation have been operated and placed along coasts and navigable waters as guides to mark safe water and to assist mariners in determining their position in relation to land and hidden dangers, controled on the basis of the maine traffic survey. The traditional survey have been conducted by some methods like an ocular observation using portable radar, a on-the-spot survey, a questionnaire. But these methods must have a lot of manpower and expenses. In this paper, we have developed the module which have some real time processing functions like making a database of radar image using PC camera, saving of the vessel's track, analysis if the maine traffic tendency and the distribution of density.

Conventional marine radar systems utilize pulse radar which is capable of high-power transmissions and is effective for remote detection purposes. A pulse radar is most commonly used on medium or large vessels due to its expensive installation and maintenance costs. I propose the use of a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system operated at low-power and high-resolution instead of the conventional pulse-radar based system. The transmitted and received signals of the FMCW radar system were theoretically analyzed and radar signal processing design and simulation experiments were performed to detect the range and speed. Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal mixed with virtual transmit and receive signals were generated to perform FMCW radar signal processing simulations where the IF signal underwent noise reduction through a lowpass filter. The maximum frequency was derived through the sample interval of the FFT size instead of using A/D converter. This maximum frequency was used to get the frequency range and frequency speed which were in turn used to calculate the range and speed. The virtual beat frequency generated using MATLAB is utilized to analyze the beat frequency used in the actual FMCW radar system signal processing. The differences in the range and speed of the beat frequency signals are processed and analyzed.

This paper analyzes wave measurement using X-band navigation (ship) radar, changes in radar signal due to snowfall and precipitation, and factors that obstruct wave measurement. Data obtained from the radar installed at Sokcho Beach were used, and data from the Korea Meteorological Administration and the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency were used for the meteorological data needed for comparative verification. Data from the Korea Meteorological Administration are measured at Sokcho Meteorological Observatory, which is about 7km away from the radar, and data from the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency are measured at a buoy about 3km away from the radar. To this point, changes in radar signals due to rainfall or snowfall have been transmitted empirically, and there is no case of an analysis comparing the results to actual weather data. Therefore, in this paper, precipitation, snowfall data, CCTV, and radar signals from the Korea Meteorological Administration were comprehensively analyzed in time series. As a result, it was confirmed that the wave height measured by the radar according to snowfall and rainfall was reduced compared to the actual wave height, and a decrease in the radar signal strength according to the distance was also confirmed. This paper is meaningful in that it comprehensively analyzes the decrease in the signal strength of radar according to snowfall and rainfall.

우리나라에는 매년 평균 $2{\sim}3$회의 태풍이 내습하고 있다. 이러한 태풍의 내습시 우리나라 남해 근방의 항만에 정박증인 선박과 항행중인 선박의 대부분을 진해만으로 피항을 하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 진해만 피항시 정박하고 있는 많은 선박들 사이로 정박지를 찾아 헤메는 선박들로 인하여 위험한 상황을 초래하고 있다. 이러한 정박지 선정을 레이더를 통하여 진해만 정박지를 사전에 결정할 수 있으면 좋으리라 판단된다. 이 연구는 현재 정박지에서 선박간의 최소거리를 진해만 태풍 내습시의 자료를 이용하여 모델화하고 이 모델을 통하여 선박간의 최소 정박지 거리제공으로 선박항자에게 신속하고 정확한 정박지 선정에 도움이 되고자 한다. 또한 VTS center에서 정박지를 사전에 지정하는데 도움이 되는 시스템을 구축하는 기초자료로 이용하고자 한다.

This paper describes on the extraction of ship's real-time movement information using a combination full-function ARPA radar and ECS system that displays radar images and an electronic chart together on a single PC screen. The radar target extractor(RTX) board, developed by Marine Electronics Corporation of Korea, receives radar video, trigger, antenna bearing pulse and heading pulse signals from a radar unit and processes these signals to extract target information. The target data extracted from each pulse repetition interval in DSPs of RTX that installed in 16 bit ISA slot of a IBM PC compatible computer is formatted into a series of radar target messages. These messages are then transmitted to the host PC and displayed on a single screen. The position data of target in range and azimuth direction are stored and used for determining the center of the distributed target by arithmetic averaging after the detection of the target end. In this system, the electronic chart or radar screens can be displayed separately or simulaneously and in radar mode all information of radar targets can be recorded and replayed In spite of a PC based radar system, all essential information required for safe and efficient navigation of ship can be provided.

This paper describes two kinds of personal hand-held electronic devices to enhance marine leisure safety. The one is Radar response-type safety device triggering by the pulse signal from a commercial 9GHz-band Radar to provide quick search and rescue with combined civilian-government-military fleets. The other one is M-RFID (Marine Radio Frequency IDentification) based safety electronic device using 900MHz Tx/Rx with spread spectrum frequency hopping and GPS. Through the field tests at sea using Korea Coast Guard's warship the operating performances are verified. Further plan for practical use of each device was also discussed.

In this study, the marine environment is measured and analyzed in real time through the X-band radar installed on the rooftop of the Sokcho Beach administrative Welfare Center and Ulleungdo. Afterwards, the goal is to transmit the analysis results to the client PC. Using electronic maps and electronic navigational charts, the measurement results are overlaid on GIS (spatial information system), real-time data are shared through a website, and information is displayed through a web server. Currently, CCTV information and marine environment information are displayed on the website, but various application studies such as the use of Open AP I will be conducted in the future.

This paper describes on the design of Passive-type Radar Reflector for small Ship (PRR-S) based on the newly revised 2000 SOLAS regulations. The design idea, adopted in the study, is to hold PRR-S in the proper ‘catch rain’ position to avoid fluctuations of Radar Cross Section (RCS) due to ship's heeling. The PRR-S consists of octahedral-type radar reflector with circular plates and three-axis gimbaled stabilizer with weight on the bottom of outer gimbal ring. Performance test for the PRR is carried out in an anechoic chamber. The test results show that the reflected radar signal from PRR-S is more uniformly distributed than the reference model (Davis Echomaster).
