AIS(Automatic Identification System) is an vessel traffic management system which exchanges vessel data with other nearby ships, AIS base stations using VHF band. A domestic AIS base station is located along coast lines or island. So it is difficult to collect vessel data from the ocean. To solve this problem, we adopted AIS payload on the low earth orbit satellite. The AIS payload on the satellite is interfaced with OBC(On-Board Computer) via UART and the FSW(Satellite Flight Software) manages it. The FSW have to receive AIS command from ground station and forward to AIS payload. Similarly FSW have to receive response, OBP, OGP data from AIS payload and it is downlink to the ground station. So in this paper we describe the FSW design & implementation for AIS payload.

In this paper, the feasibility of LEO(low earth orbit) satellite-based automatic identification system (SAT-AIS) for the coastal area of the South Korea is evaluated in the context of ship AIS transmission detection probability. We evaluate and compare AIS signal detection probability of ORBCOMM satellites and LEO-one satellites considering link budget, SOTDMA protocol and satellite's swath width. The simulation determines the total number of vessels served by those satellites according to satellite's swath width and thus, By simulation results, the ORBCOMM SAT-AIS system outperforms LEO-one SAT-AIS system. The suggested ORBCOMM based SAT-AIS system can be a solution to resolve the existing limited transmission distance problem of the conventional ship-to-shore AIS system.

AIS(Automatic Identification System)는 선박과 육상 및 선박 상호간에 선박의 항행관련 정보를 상호 교환함으로써 안전항해를 제고하기 위하여 도입된 무선설비로서 그 활용도가 매우 높아지고 있으며 AIS 탑재 선박도 증가하고 있다. 그러나 AIS에서 사용하고 있는 초단파의 전파 특성으로 인하여 비교적 근거리 통신만 가능하고 장거리 선박추적 관리를 위한 용도로 활용하는 데는 어려움이 있었다. 이러한 통신권의 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 저궤도 위성을 사용하는 위성 AIS의 도입에 대한 연구가 주요 선진국을 중심으로 추진되고 있으며, 성능을 제고하기 위한 기술 기준 연구도 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저궤도 위성을 사용한 AIS의 문제점인 메시지 수신확률을 분석하기 위하여 현재 사용 중인 지상파 AIS의 특성 및 저궤도 위성 AIS의 문제점을 분석하고 메시지 수신확률에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 위성 AIS는 지상파 AIS에 비하여 통신권이 크게 확대되는 반면 채널 용량의 한계 및 채널간 간섭으로 인하여 AIS 메시지 충돌이 심하게 발생하고 메시지 수신 확률이 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 현재의 지상파 AIS 표준을 적용한 위성 AIS의 실시간 정보 교환은 사실상 불가능하며 위성 AIS의 메시지 수신 확률을 제고하기 위해서는 위성 AIS를 위한 별도의 표준을 제정할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, the feasibility of ORBCOMM satellite-based automatic identification system (SAT-AIS) is evaluated in the context of ship AIS slot collision probability depending on reporting rate, We evaluate detection probability evaluation of ORBCOMM satellite-based AIS considering link budget, SOTDMA protocol and satellite's swath width. The simulation determines the total number of vessels served by ORBCOMM satellite according to satellite's swath width, AIS slot allocation and reporting rate. By simulation results, the ORBCOMM satellite-based AIS slot collision is increased directly proportional to the total number of vessels and the more detection probability evaluation of ORBCOMM satellite-based AIS degrader, the more sip AIS reporting rate shorter.

Automatic Identification System used in ship communication is required for marine control way, including monitoring of vessel operation in coastal and exchanging of information for safety navigation between them. But, it uses a very high frequency band of approximately 160 MHz, and at the same time, due to the curvature of Earth, there is a limit to the communication distance. Several demonstrations were made successfully over satellite, but not much work has been done yet through cube-satellite which has low-orbit at 500 km altitude. Here, we demonstrate a reception test of AIS (automatic identification system) receiver for a cube-satellites using software-defined radio (SDR). We collected AIS data from ship at port of Busan, Korea, using R8202T2 SDR and established to transmit them using Adam-Pluto and Matlab Simulink. The process of weakening the signal strength to a satellite was constructed using attenuator. Through above process, we demonstrated whether AIS data was successfully received from the AIS payload.

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.

AIS(Automatic Identification System) is a device that automatically transmits and receives ship information and is mounted on the ship. AIS information of ships near the coast can be received on the ground, but when going out to sea more than 50 nautical miles, communication with the ground is cut off. To solve this problem, ship information can be transmitted to the ground through an AIS satellite equipped with an AIS receiver. There is no case of AIS satellite development in Korea yet, and many domestic shipping companies are using overseas AIS services. PNUSAT-1 is a 1U+ CubeSat, developed by Pusan National University, and it is equipped with an AIS receiver for monitoring of ships and transmitting ship information to the ground. Since the mission data of PNUSAT-1 is in text format, the data size is not large. In consideration of this, communication equipment, low-precision sensors, and actuators were selected. In this paper, system preliminary design of PNUSAT-1 was performed, requirements for mission performance, operation scenario and mode design, hardware and software selection, and preliminary design of each subsystem were performed.

We demonstrate the preliminary results of ship detection application using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and automatic identification system (AIS) together. Multi-frequency and multi-temporal SAR images such as TerraSAR-X and Cosmo-SkyMed (X-band), and Radarsat-2 (C-band) are acquired over the West Sea in South Korea. In order to compare with SAR data, we also collected an AIS data. The SAR data are pre-processed considering by the characteristics of scattering mechanism as for sea surface. We proposed the "Adaptive Threshold Algorithm" for classification ship efficiently. The analyses using the combination of the SAR and AIS data with time series will be very useful to ship detection or tracing of the ship.

해양공간의 효율적인 활용과 해상사고 예방을 위하여 해상교통 현황 파악이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 해상에서 운항하는 선박에 대한 면밀한 모니터링이 선행 되어야한다. 때문에 본 연구에서는 선박자동식별장치(Automatic Identification System, AIS)와 선박패스(V-Pass)를 활용하는 기존 모니터링 방법에서 나아가, 위성 자료를 활용한 연안 선박감시 방법을 해상교통관제(Vessel Traffic Service, VTS) 센터에서 활용하기 위한 방안을 제안한다. 위성 자료는 광범위한 영역에 대하여 다양한 정보를 획득할 수 있는 장점을 지니므로, 부산항 연안에서 수집한 AIS 데이터와 함께 딥 러닝 기반 선박 탐지 및 분류 모델에 활용함으로써, 보다 개선된 모니터링을 기대할 수 있다. 이를 활용하여 미식별 선박들의 출현 위치를 분석하고 나아가 선박의 종류를 예측함으로써, 상세한 해상교통 현황 파악 및 예측을 기대할 수 있다. 향후에는 선박의 종류 뿐 아니라 각 선박의 해상활동을 분석함으로써, 보다 체계적이고 실용적인 해양공간활용 계획수립에 도움이 될 수 있도록 개선할 계획이다.
