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.

A concept of the "e-Navigation" was introduced in 2005 and implementation strategies are under way by IMO/IALA in the maritime safety area. Specially VTS is an important maritime traffic monitoring and aids to navigation system which is aims to improve safety, navigation efficiency and protect the marine environment. The demand of the inter-VTS networking has been increased and standardization is underway for realization of shore side collaboration for maritime safety in IALA. But there may be security problems in the inter-VTS networks if they have not proper security mechanism. The hacking of realtime ship position and sensitive maritime surveillance information caused a critical accident of vessel, human life and environment by terrorist. This paper aims to design of a secure inter-VTS network structure and related security protocol for secure sharing of sensitive maritime data.

국내에 구축된 VTS는 해상안전을 위한 세계적인 기술흐름을 따라가기 힘들고, 향후 e-Navigation을 구현하기 위한 신기술을 VTS 센터에 적용하기에는 많은 기술적 제약이 따르며, 새로운 개념을 제안하더라도 마땅히 시험할 기반이 없는 실정이다. 이에 e-Navigation이라는 국제적인 추세에 대응하고, 새로운 기술이 접목된 한국형 VTS를 개발하고자 "해양 안전 실현을 위한 차세대 VTS(u-VTS) 기술개발"이라는 연구를 진행하고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 국내의 해상교통환경에 적합하고, 효율적으로 운영할 수 있는 차세대 VTS 시스템에 적용될 운영소프트웨어의 기능을 연구했다.

최근 국내에는 원활한 교통 흐름을 위해 연륙교, 연도교등 다수의 해상 교량을 보유함에 따라 통항 안전 관련 해상사고 발생 가능성이 증가하고 있다. 반송파 위상정보를 이용한 정밀측위기법을 선박항해에 적용하기 위해서는 항해시 교량 및 시설물 등의 영향으로 위성 신호세기가 미약해지는 환경에서도 정밀측위의 연속성을 유지해야한다. 그러나 반송파 위상 정보는 미약한 위성신호세기 환경에서 측정잡음이 급격히 증가하여 반송파 미지정수 검색 및 유지를 어렵게하고 이로 인해 정밀측위를 불가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 위성신호가 미약해지는 환경에서 정밀측위의 연속성을 유지하기 위하여 관성센서 정보를 이용하였다. 관성센서와 위성정보를 이용하여 해당위성의 ICP(Integrated Carrier Phase)를 추정한다. 추정한 ICP를 이용하여 반송파 위성을 재구성함으로써 끊김없이 반송파 미지정수를 유지하여 연속적이며 안정적인 측위결과를 생성한다.

Ulsan pilotage is one of the most busy pilots boarding among the korean pilotages. The route layout of ulsan port is simple but the complex degree of marine traffic flow is high because there are many navigating ships from/to piers and anchorages nearby route. So, this paper is surveyed and analysised the navigating dangerous factors as to navigation danger elements in/near the route, the proper distance between piers at the ulsan waterways. And this research assures the same place where shiphandling bunder is occurred to compare the danger sense of pilot with environment stress to represented the mariner's shiphandling stress quantitatively at the ulsan route.

Ulsan Port is the biggest base port for liquid cargoes in Korea and is pushing in earnest for the development of the 'Ulsan New Port' and 'Northeast Asia Oil-Hub' to prepare for continuous shipment growth. However, Ulsan is in the situation which the harbour limit and anchorages are narrower than other trading ports and the occurrence probability of marine accidents is very high due to heavy marine traffic. We will find and suggest the plan to enlarge the harbour limit essentially needed to expand anchorages considering the geomorphological features of Ulsan and the volume of marine traffic in this research. For the enlargement of harbour limit needed to expand anchorages, the anchorage area needed for Ulsan New Port was calculated after the quantitative analysis of enlargement range through the mutual comparison of the area of harbour limit and anchorages with berths and the volume of marine traffic. The reasonable type of harbour limit, which is based on the survey by a group of experts, was also determined after the decision of the range of harbour limit to accommodate the relevant anchorages.

Recently, vessel's average speed in the sea becomes fast because of the increasing of high-speeds vessel like a container ship and ferry. So, it is considered that speed control in the korean narrow waterway isn't the proper vessel traffic management, now. And, there is a rare paper studied about speed control quantitatively and numerically, especially speed control is discussing continuously, as abrogation of Incheon Port's speed control and alleviation of Kwangyang Port's speed control a according to navigating mariner's request. After this paper replayed the navigation traffic flow in the straight waterway using marine traffic flow simulation, the Environmental Stress Model is introduced to evaluate difficulty of each vessel's traffic.

Recently, ships' average navigation speed become faster than before because of the increasing of high-speeds vessel including container ships and passenger-ferries. So, it is considered that the speed limit in the navigation channel in Korea isn't proper for vessel management in these days. Also, there is rare paper studies about the speed limit quantitatively and numerically, especially the speed limit is discussing continuously, as abrogation of Incheon Port's speed limit and alleviation of Gwang-yang Port's speed limit according to the requests by the navigating mariners. Consequently this paper deals with the effectiveness of speed limits using the Environmental Stress Model, after replay of the navigation traffic flow in the straight waterway using marine traffic flow simulation technique.

The purpose of this study is to identify the aspect that the traffic distribution function changes, according to the direction of the datum line and the horizontal and vertical positions of the datum point applied when it is calculated. Targeting routes at the entrance of Mokpo Harbor, this study tested using AIS survey data of January 2013 the effects of the three variables-direction of the datum line(${\theta}$), horizontal position($\mathfrak{L}_H$) and vertical position($\mathfrak{L}_V$) on mean ($\bar{x}$) and standard deviation (${\delta}$). The test result showed that $\bar{x}$ and ${\delta}$ were changed according to the change of ${\theta}$, because the extracted sample data were changed according to ${\theta}$; and the changes of $\bar{x}$ and ${\delta}$ according to ${\theta}$ were drawn as the relation of the sine function' sum. In addition, it was found that setting up ${\theta}$ that the change value of ${\delta}$ becomes the least as the direction of the datum line was valid, to determine the optimum passage distribution function on complex waters with multiple branches of route. The result of this study is expected to be used as basic data to understand maritime traffic flow based on more quantified data of normal distribution and make decisions related to maritime traffic safety management.

Quantitative risk levels must be presented by analyzing the causes and consequences of accidents and predicting the occurrence patterns of the accidents. For the analysis of marine accidents related to vessel traffic, research on the traffic such as collision risk analysis and navigational path finding has been mainly conducted. The analysis of the occurrence pattern of marine accidents has been presented according to the traditional statistical analysis. This study intends to present a marine accident prediction model using the statistics on marine accidents related to vessel traffic. Statistical data from 1998 to 2021, which can be accumulated by month and hourly data among the Korean domestic marine accidents, were converted into structured time series data. The predictive model was built using a long short-term memory network, which is a representative artificial intelligence model. As a result of verifying the performance of the proposed model through the validation data, the RMSEs were noted to be 52.5471 and 126.5893 in the initial neural network model, and as a result of the updated model with observed datasets, the RMSEs were improved to 31.3680 and 36.3967, respectively. Based on the proposed model, the occurrence pattern of marine accidents could be predicted by learning the features of various marine accidents. In further research, a quantitative presentation of the risk of marine accidents and the development of region-based hazard maps are required.
