We have studied on the maritime navigation with functions of navigation route search and maritime safety information for small-size fishery ships, fishing boats, yachts, and boats in coastal seas. We have designed a smart phone application which is more exact information on marine obstacles of islands, aquafarms, and rocks by using land navigation techniques. Our navigation system is relatively easy to be used for costal navigation and may be a substitute for expensive ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display and Information System). Our system consists of maritime navigation databases to manage necessary maritime data and a mobile application to support maritime navigation for operators. We believe that our research findings can improve safety navigation in coastal seas by supporting lower cost, no time-consuming installation and maintenance, and easy-to-use operations.

A text-based communication system has been developed with a communication function on AIS and display and input function on ECDIS as a way to complement voice communication. It features no linguistic error and is not affected by VHF restrictions on use and noise. The text communication system is designed to use messages for clear intentions and further improves convenience of users by using various UI through software. It works without additional hardware installation and modification and can transmit a sentence by selecting only via Message Banner Interface without keyboard input and furthermore has a advantage to enhance processing speed through its own message coding and decoding. It is determined as the most useful alternative to reduce language limitations and recognition errors of the user and solve the problem of various voice communications on VHF. In addition, it will help to prevent collisions between ships with decrease in VHF use, accurate communication and request of cooperation based on text at heavy traffic areas.

e-Navigation, which is scheduled to be implemented in 2019 centered on IMO, is actively conducting researches worldwide and various marine systems are being developed. Ship INS will be integrated with various navigation systems such as RADAR, ECDIS, BAM, etc. in order to support e-navigation system, and there is a great need for integrated operation and management. In this research, introduce a research on the integration method of platform - based ship navigation equipment that can operate, expand, maintain and repair various ship systems efficiently.

We develope the PC based SPS to improve safety at sea, save fuel and time during a voyage and makes mariner's work more efficient and comfortable in ship navigation, who propose the auto-navigation system with SPS as basic main system. Developed SPS operate the function to monitor navigational equipment and to substitute a broken main navigational equipment such as CIS, ECDIS, or Radar/ARPA, automatically. These can be improve more efficient and comfortable ship navigation and reduce these traffic accident. The SPS has the function as DB and network server, additionally.

Currently, ECDIS and GPS plotters are much used as equipment providing operators with route information, but they do not have any function of automatic route creation and route explanation, so available for only experienced operators. Especially, the present situation is that no study is made of the automatic route creation and route explanation using ENC for ECDIS, substitution system of paper chart. ENC is the electronic navigation chart that is produced using S-52, 5-57 standard format required by IHO. In this paper, an Navigation Guiding System(NGS) is proposed to generate an optimal route where ENC and GPS data is fusioned including the wind direction and speed of an anemometer. The proposed system was testified by a simulation, and its effectiveness was verified.

Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) equipment and Electronic Chart Display & Information System (ECDIS) are typical equipment which help seafarers to obtain information for ship's safe navigation. In this study, a survey on using of GMDSS equipment and ECDIS was conducted on a total of 260 ship masters and crew who have been working on ocean-going vessels. The subjects were asked about the usage, and level and reason of satisfaction or dissatisfaction of GMDSS equipment and ECDIS, the leading navigational system from which they receive information. The survey showed that the third- and fourth-most frequently used equipment, MF/HF and INMARSAT (telex), were deemed to be the second- and third-most useless equipment. It means that the frequency of device usage is not proportionate to the level of navigational safety. Especially, 'ease of device use (42.3%)' and 'necessity of the provided information (50%)' were highlighted as factors increasing the level of satisfaction with the system. The survey result shows that ship safety cannot be realized by only adopting advanced systems, technology and services. It emphasizes the need to consider the level of 'accessibility and appropriateness of the information' and 'ease of device use'. Discussions implemented by the IMO on various policies and regulations are aimed at securing ship safety. In order to achieve the goal, such institutions should be validated by end-users and relevant studies should be conducted.

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) developed S-100 standards as a framework for a variety of data and service for hydrography and a standard research is in process, including a next-generation electronic chart standard, for products and services based on this.The need for standard storage and utilization of navigation routes generated by ECDIS and navigation system using navigation planning features has emerged and a standard research based on S-100 standard has been performed. Route information standard is needed for interoperability among route information generated by a variety of navigation system and requires an examination for the possibility of applicability. In this research, route generation tools and standard-based generation and result of route information using these tools in order to examine the application of route information standards have been executed.In details, first, as a module capable of generating route information, a module that can store values in memory based on route information standards of S-100, second, a module that can store route information in the memory in XML form, third, it includes loading module for route information stored as XML.In this research, we verified normal generation of route information, storage of generated route information and loading functions through developing three modules.

다기능 선박조종시뮬레이터(Full-mission Shiphandling Simulator)를 이용한 사고분석 방법은 먼저 사고관련 정보기록을 수집하여 이에 맞는 항만/해역의 데이터베이스를 만들고 이를 바탕으로 사고 선박의 제원, 사진 및 기타정보를 토대로 일반적인 변수 값 기관 특성정보, Hydrodynamic 특성 변경과 선박의 외형에 따라 선박의 데이터베이스를 만들고, 시험운항을 통한 수치를 보정한다. 그리고 이 데이터베이스를 기초로 하여 시뮬레이션 시나리오를 만들어서 사고 당시를 재연하면서 그때, 그때의 상황의 자료를 수집하여 분석하게 된다.
