This study has searched to find a program in order to manage simply and practically use the expelled AtoN database from the AtoN Simulator and to support the idea decision for the AtoN placement. It examines a program that manages AtoN database through the hierarchy structure, history card and endowment with condition same as a scenario. And accomplishes this study's goal owing to realizing AtoN operational software that helps for visual, hearing sense, fixed amount verification upon AtoN placement project. The AtoN operational software contributes not only flexible control like a newly establishment, relocation etc, but also supports idea decision for AtoN placement plan through many functions such as condition search, virtual sailing and fixed amount appraisal result exhibition, etc. Through utilization of this, it is to help upon the presupposition of the impact to ship or sailor about many designs and in addition, upon the judgment of whether or not for the efficiency and appropriation of the design. It is expected to reduce possible failure costs and management costs due to AtoN design and placement plans, because to compare more various designs thru the easier verification method.

3D visualization of navigation simulation is to visualize the environment conditions (e.g. nearby ships, dynamic characteristics, environment, terrain, etc) for any users on ships at sea. Realistic 3D visualization enables the users to be immersed to it and guarantees the reliability of the simulation. In particular, terrain visualization contains many virtual objects, so it is time and cost-intensive for object modelling. This paper proposes a 3D terrain visualization method that can be realized in a short time and with low cost by using the Unity 3D development tool. The 3D terrain visualization system requires bathymetric and elevation terrains, and Aids to Navigations (AtoNs) to be realized. It also needs to include 3D visualization objects including bridges, buildings and port facilities for more accurate simulation. Bathymetric and AtoN elements are acquired from ENC, and the elevation element is acquired from SRTM v4.1 digital elevation chart database developed by NASA. Then, the bathymetric and elevation terrains are generated, and the satellite images are superposed by using this terrain information. The longitudinal and latitudinal information of the AtoNs are converted to the 3-axis information to position the AtoN locations. The 3D objects such as bridges, buildings and port facilities are generated and the terrain visualization is completed. The proposed method realizes more realistic 3D terrain visualization of Busan Port.

An offshore plant needs costly maintenance and has difficulty coping with various accidents coming from the exposure to the environmental threats such as typhoons, tidal waves and etc., in addition to the artificial ones such as fire, collision of ships and etc. In this paper, we develop the video-complex remote monitoring system for an offshore plant, using AtoN AIS and multi-stage database to monitor an offshore plant and solve those problems. The system handles real time video cameras to collect and monitor images on an offshore plant. So, users can be exactly and quickly aware of the information on various situations with the monitoring application based on ENC.

국내에는 선박의 안전항해를 위해서 다양한 종류의 항로표지가 설치되어 운영되고 있으며, 각 지방해양항만청에서 개별적으로 관리되고 있다. 현재 운영되고 있는 항로표지의 종류는 유인 등대를 포함하여 등부표, 입표, 음향표지, 전파 표지 등이 있으며, 그 설치 형태와 기능이 너무 다양하기 때문에 일반화 된 형태의 데이터로 통합 관리되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 한편, 국제항로표지협회(IALA)에서는 항로표지 설계와 배치 계획에 대한 의사 결정을 지원하고 검증할 수 있는 항로표지 시뮬레이터 시스템의 필요성을 제기하고 있으며, 이를 위해서는 국내의 항만별 항로표지 데이터에 대한 통합 데이터베이스 구축이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내 주요 항만에 설치되어 있는 주요 항로표지의 속성정보를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 항로표지 시뮬레이터용 데이터베이스 시스템을 설계하고 구축하는 방법에 대하여 기술한다.

Ships and marine structures(lighthouses and buoys for AtoN) have AIS(Automatic Identification System) for transmission messages which include navigational and environmental information. VTS Center and surrounding ships receive and apply the information to safety navigation. A main characteristic of AIS messages is open to general people, so many researches are in progress. In this paper, we design an information management system which considers marine vessel traffic and environmental information in korean littoral sea. The system gathers and processes the information, and stores the processed data to multi-stage database. Also the system visualizes the stored data to use analysis and statistics based on ENC.
