지구온난화에 따른 우리나라 주변 환경의 변화와 최근 중국 불법 어선의 연근해 어업 자원의 고갈 등으로 인해 우리나라 연근해 어족자원을 보호할 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 지속 가능한 어업을 위해서는 어획물의 종류와 양을 정확히 파악하고 불법 어업에 대한 철저한 감시 및 관리가 필요하다. 이러한 시공간적으로 다양하게 변하는 생태 및 어장 환경 정보와 선박에 대한 정보를 통해 해양관측과 위성 원격탐사를 동시에 이용함으로써 근해와 원양 생물자원 실태를 관측하는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 NOAA-20 위성의 VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) DNB (Day & Night Band) 영상을 기반으로 추정한 야간 불빛 자료를 활용하고자 한다. DNB 불빛 영상은 낮은 조도의 불빛을 감지하여 그 정보를 보여 준다. 야간 불빛 자료에 포함된 구름 부분을 마스킹하기 위해 NASA의 신규알고리즘이 적용된JPSS-JRR-CloudMask 기술을 이용하였다. 이번 연구에서는 구름의 영향이 없는 날짜를 선별한 후 AIS 정보에서 어선의 정보를 추출하여 검증 자료로 사용하였다. 실제 선박의 정보를 이용한 위성 불빛 자료의 검증을 통해 위성자료의 신뢰성을 확보하고 향후 불빛과 선단 규모의 상관관계 분석 및 어선의 분포 경향 분석을 통하여 우리나라의 어장환경 분석에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

For effective ship management in VTS(Vessel Traffic Service), it needs to assess the external force acting on ship. Big data in maritime traffic can be roughly categorized into two groups. One is the traffic information including ship's particulars. The other is the external force information e.g., wind, sea wave, tidal current. This paper proposes the method to assess the external force acting on ship using big data in maritime traffic. To approach Big data in maritime traffic, we propose the Waterway External Force Code(WEF code) which consist of wind, wave, tidal and current information, Speed Over the Water(SOW) of each ship, weather information. As a results, the external force acting a navigating ship is estimated.

Various studies on the method of ship collision risk assessment for alarm have been reported constantly, and the result of the studies is applied to navigation devices. However, it is known that navigators ignore or turn off frequent alarms from the devices of predicting collision risk, because they may avoid collisions in the most of situations. In oder to make the prediction of ship collision risk more useful, it is necessary to consider the customary actions of ship collision avoidance. This paper proposes a system of analyzing collision avoidance measures of ships according to the types of encounter and managing the avoidance history of each ship. The core module of the system is designed as a neuro-fuzzy based inference system, and the test of the module validates the proposed system.

A series of studies on the development of autonomous surface ships have been promoted in domestic and foreign countries. One of the main technologies for the development of autonomous ships is path-following control, which is closely related to securing the safety of ships at sea. In this regard, the path-following performance of an autonomous ship should be first evaluated at the design stage. The main aim of this study was to develop a visual and quantitative evaluation method for the path-following control performance of an autonomous ship at the design stage. This evaluation technique was developed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based path-following control model together with a line-of-sight (LOS) guidance algorithm. CFD software was utilized to visualize waves around the ship, performing path-following control for visual evaluation. In addition, a quantitative evaluation was carried out using the difference between the desired and estimated yaw angles, as well as the distance difference between the planned and estimated trajectories. The results demonstrated that the ship experienced large deviations from the planned path near the waypoints while changing its course. It was also found that the fluid phenomena around the ship could be easily identified by visualizing the flow generated by the ship. It is expected that the evaluation method proposed in this study will contribute to the visual and quantitative evaluation of the path-following performance of autonomous ships at the design stage.

In recent years, the need for economical and sustainable ship routing has emerged due to the enforced regulations on environmental issues. Despite the development of weather forecasting technology, maritime accidents by rough waves have continued to occur due to incorrect weather forecasts. In this study, onboard measurements are conducted to observe the acutal situation on merchant ships in operation encountering rough waves. The types of measured data include information related to navigation (Ship's position, speed, bearing, rudder angle) and engine (engine revolutions, power, shaft thrust, fuel consumption), weather conditions (wind, waves), and ship motions (roll, pitch, and yaw). These ship experiments was conducted to 28,000 DWT bulk carrier, 63,000 DWT bulk carrier, 20,000 TEU container ship, and 12,000 TEU container ship. The actual ship experiment of each ship is intended to acquire various types of data and utilize them for multi-objective studies related to ship operation. Additionally, in order to confirm the sea conditions, the directional wave spectrum was reproduced using a wave simulation model. Through data collection from ship experiments and wave simulations, various studies could be proceeding such as the measurement for accurate wave information by marine radar and analysis for cargo collapse accidents. In addition, it is expected to be utilized in various themes from the perspective of safety and efficiency in ship operation.

This paper presents a stable real-time based FlexRay technology which is employed with a standard protocol of the marine electronic equipments and the bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS). The traditional marine communications use NMEA communication protocols, and RS-232 and RS-422 techniques in the BNWAS, thus there are difficulty in seeking stability and reliability. To overcome such problems we utilize the FlexRay protocol technique to prevent data loss or error.

접안을 위해 선박이 안벽으로 접근할 때나, 좁은 항내에서 선박을 조종할 때는 항해 중에서보다 많은 제약이 따른다. 그것은 대형 선박일수도 분 관성력으로 인해 효과적인 제어가 어렵기 때문이다. 그래서 터그보트를 수동적으로 제어하여 선박을 접안시키는 것이 현재로선 가장 일반적이 접안기술이라 할 수 있다. 지능적인 제어기술을 적용하여 자동접안을 시도하려는 연구결과가 보고되고 있으나, 대부분이 auto-pilot 기술에 지나지 않으며 어느 것 하나 안정적인 접안을 위한 접안기술로 볼 수 없다. 이와 같이 터그보트를 이용할 수밖에 없는 현실이라면, 보다 효과적인 터그보트 제어기술을 기반으로 한 접안지원시스템을 개발하는 것이 우선일 것이다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 터그보트의 원격제어를 통해 모선을 효과적이고 안정적으로 접안하는 문제에 대해 고찰하였다. 즉, 터그보트로 조종되는 선박조종시스템에 대한 모델링을 수행하고, 터그보트로부터 발생되는 제어력을 적절히 분배하여 모선을 제어하는 새로운 접안지원시스템을 개발하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 시스템의 유효성을 검증하였다.

In this study, a simulation system was developed to verify autonomous navigation algorithm in complex maritime traffic areas. In particular, real-world maritime traffic scenario was applied by considering near real-time maritime traffic information provided by Korean e-Navigation service. For this, a navigation simulation system of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) was integrated with an e-Navigation equipment, called Electronic Chart System (ECS). To verify autonomous navigation algorithm in the simulation system, initial conditions including initial position of an own ship and a set of paths for the ship to follow are assigned by an operator. Then, considering real-world maritime traffic information obtained from the service, the simulation is implemented in which the ship repeatedly travels by avoiding surrounding obstacles (e.g., approaching ships). In this paper, the developed simulation system and its application on verification of the autonomous navigation algorithm in complex maritime traffic areas are introduced.

With regard to LED lighting devices which have currently been commercialized, LED operating sequences are being sold in a fixed state. In such a state, the external environmental factors are not taken into consideration as only the illumination environment application is considered. Currently, it is difficult to create an optimal lighting environment which can adapt to changes in external environmental factors in the ship. Therefore, it was concluded that there is a need to input the external environment value so that the optimal illumination value can be reflected in real time in order to adapt more organically and actively to the change of external environmental factors. In this paper, we used a microprocessor as an integrated management system for environmental data that changes in real time according to existing external environmental factors. In addition, a controller capable of lighting control of RGB LED module by combining fuzzy inference system. For this, a fuzzy control algorithm is designed and a fuzzy control system is constructed. The distance and the illuminance value from the external environment element are input to the sensor, and these values are converted to the optimum illumination value through the fuzzy control algorithm, and are expressed through the dimming control of the RGB LED module and the practical effectiveness of the fuzzy control system is confirmed.
