The tasks of Vessel Traffic Services are classified according to the content of the information provided. Since the establishment of the first Vessel Traffic Service center in 1993 at Phohang harbour, it has been steadily developed and its work domain and scope have been expanded. In this paper, the importance and workload of Vessel Traffic Service operators were analyzed according to classification of the tasks. In order to measure the importance and workload, questionnaires were conducted for the operators nationwide, and conclusions were drawn using the multi-criteria decision making process. The relationship between the importance of tasks and the workload might be used as the weights for setting the service areas in the future. Furthermore, it is expected to be used as the data of changable sector operation based on the relationship between importance and workload.

선박의 선위 추측(DR, Dead Reckoning)은 수신되거나 측정된 위치 데이터와 속력, 침로 데이터만을 반영하여 계산하므로 대양의 항해나 연근해의 해역에서는 유효할 수 있으나 침로의 변경과 선속의 변화가 잦은 항계 내의 조선에 있어서는 적용이 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 선박의 추측위치(DRP, Dead Reckoning Position)는 선박의 운항 패턴에 따라 항계 내의 항적 데이터를 수집하고, 수신된 위치 데이터와 속력, 침로 데이터를 점장위도항법(Mercator Sailing)을 통하여 계획항로(Planned Route)의 각 변침점(WP, Waypoint)간 침로(Course)와 항정(Ship's Passage)에 반영하였다. 제안된 추측위치 산출방법을 통하여 항계 내의 조선과정에서 계획항로를 선박의 추측위치와 결합하여 특정 시간 후의 상황패턴을 미리 예측하고 관제사의 의사결정에 기여하고자 한다.

전국 항만에 VTS 시스템이 설치되고, 또한 최근 승선경험이 있는 항해사들이 해상교통관제사로 근무하면서 관제구역 내의 해양사고는 꾸준히 감소하는 추세이다. 그러나 관제사별로 승선경험을 살펴보면 1종 내지 3종 내외의 한정된 선종 승선경력을 보유하고 있으며, 이는 현장에서 다양한 선종에 대한 관제를 시행함에 있어 관제사별로 관제기법과 관제역량의 차이를 가져오는 원인중의 하나라고 생각된다. 또한 관제의사 결정과정에 있어서도 최적의 관제의사 도출을 어렵게 만드는 요인이 아닐까 한다. 여기에서는 관제사의 자질 및 역량강화를 위해 개인별로 한정된 승선경력을 보완할 수 있는 방법의 하나로서 모든 선종 교육의 필요성과 함께 교육의 방법 및 기대효과에 대하여서도 고찰해 보고자 한다.

Vessel traffic service(VTS) centers are equipped with RADAR, AIS(Automatic Identification System), weather sensors, and VHF(Very High Frequency). VTS operators use this equipment to observe the movement of ships operating in the VTS area and provide information. The VTS data generated by these various devices is highly valuable for analyzing maritime traffic situation. However, owing to a lack of compatibility between system manufacturers or policy issues, they are often not systematically managed. Therefore, we developed the VTS Bigdata Platform that could efficiently collect, store, and manage control data collected by the VTS, and this paper describes its design and implementation. A microservice architecture was applied to secure operational stability that was one of the important issues in the development of the platform. In addition, the performance of the platform could be improved by dualizing the storage for real-time navigation information. The implemented system was tested using real maritime data to check its performance, identify additional improvements, and consider its feasibility in a real VTS environment.

Ships' tracking data are being monitored and collected by vessel traffic service center in real time. In this paper, we intend to contribute to vessel traffic service operators' decision making through extracting ships' tracking patterns and models based on these data. Support Vector Machine algorithm was used for vessel track modeling to handle and process the data sets and k-fold cross validation was used to select the proper parameters. Proposed data processing methods could support vessel traffic service operators' decision making on case of anomaly detection, calculation ships' dead reckoning positions and etc.

Every vessel shall proceed at a safe speed to avoid collision. Additionally, every vessel shall comply with the speed limit rules in the territorial water and internal waters of Korea. The VTS operator shall properly control the compliance of the vessel with the safe speed and speed limit rules. Safe speed under the COLREG 1972 is not explicitly stipulated in knots. However, under the Domestic law for traffic safety-specific sea areas, etc., the speed limit is specified in knots and complied with. This speed limit rule is mainly based on the 'speed made good over the ground'; however, in some places, it is based on the 'speed making way through the water'. In this paper, I analyzed marine accidents that occurred in the past 5 years and the rate of violation of speed limits. Furthermore, I reviewed safe speed under the COLREG 1972, speed limit rules under domestic and foreign laws, and cases of non-compliance with safe speed in the judgment of the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal. Resultantly, I suggested in this paper that the speed limit rules in the domestic law must be observed by vessels to prevent marine accidents, and the rules which are stipulated in terms of 'speed making way through the water' must be revised as 'speed made good over the ground' such that the vessels can easily comply with them and the VTS operator can control the vessel properly.

정박중인 선박의 안전을 위하여 항해사 및 선장, 해상교통관제사(VTSO, Vessel Traffic Service Operator)는 수시로 선박이 주묘가 되는지 확인하여야 한다. 일반적으로 정박선의 주묘여부 판별은 선위측정에 의한 방법과 선체움직임을 감지하여 확인하는 방법이 있다. 하지만 VTSO는 실제 선박의 구체적인 정박상황 파악이 어려우므로 수신되는 위치정보를 바탕으로 주묘여부를 판별해야 한다. 본 연구는 VTS에서 AIS에 의해 수집되는 데이터를 활용하여 VTSO의 경험적 주묘여부 판별 알고리즘을 토대로 VTS에서 활용가능한 정박선 주묘판별 프로그램을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 구성된 프로그램을 완도주변해역에 적용하여 선박주묘여부를 판별하였다.

Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) operators perform traffic management tasks using VTS systems and sensor equipment designated as VTS facilities to promote the safety and efficiency of vessel traffic. The necessary VTS information for effective operations could be obtained through the additional access of various information channels other than the designated VTS facility. To unify these various information access windows, the development of the VTS cloud system is in progress. In this study, the operational information analysis for VTS was performed through VTS tasks-facility linkage analysis to identify the user required information according to the introduction of the VTS cloud system. The VTS task analysis was performed through research of the international and domestic literature, and expert interviews. The necessary information were identified and linked according to the VTS facilities. As a result of the analysis, 37 categories of necessary information were identified for internal and external information windows, and 8 information windows were selected other than the present VTS equipment. The identified user requirements would be applied to the structure design of the VTS cloud system. In the future, it is necessary to update user requirements through scenario-based user operation analysis and to conduct additional research on the system interface design.

VTM is regarded as a core element in e-Navigation under developing by IMO. IMO's e-Navigation aims for VTM which could provide more navigational information for ships and provide more active VTS services for safe and efficient marine traffic environment. To be successful for VTM under e-Navigation, VTS operator's experience and ability for carrying out VTM tasks are essential. In this study, Decision-making support system for VTS operators are designed conceptually which support VTS operators' VTM tasks by providing informations on traffic risk, and predicted behaviour of ships. This paper describes a designed system with design concept, main functions, main elements and necessary technologies to be developed.
