It is clearly understood that e-navigation is beneficial to prevent collision and grounding of ships. The purpose of this study is to define and present a future ship operation system under the e-navigation environment in order to provide clear direction for the design of Korean e-navigation system. The future ship operation system consists of shipboard navigational system, shore supporting system and maritime communication system. To achieve the objectives of this study, the ship operation system was discussed separately into SOLAS ships and non-SOLAS ships in this study. In SOLAS ships, mariners become a system manager, choosing system presets, interpreting system output, and monitoring vessel response. In small ships and fishing vessels, mariners may enjoy their navigation by using the automatic tracking of ship's position on the portable electronic chart display. The improved bridge design, integrated and harmonized navigational system and single window reporting will reduce significantly the administrative and physical workload of mariners. Mariners can concentrate their attention more on navigational duty under the e-navigation environment. To build an effective Korean e-navigation system, the essential navigational functions and e-navigation services for small ships and fishing vessels must be identified and developed taking into account user needs.

In this paper, a speaker-independent isolated world recognition system for a car navigation system is implemented using a general digital signal processor. This paper presents a method combining SNR normalization with RAS as a noise processing method. The semi-continuous hidden markov model is adopted and TMS320C31 is used in implementing the real-time system. Recognition word set is composed of 69 command words for a car navigation system. Experimental results showed that the recognition performance has a maximum of 93.62% in case of a combination of SNR normalization and spectral subtraction, and the performance improvement rate of the system is 3.69%, Presented noise processing method showed good speech recognition performance in 5dB SNR in car environment.

The International Maritime Organization is developing a maritime safety system called eNavigation in order to effectively respond to accidents occurring on board vessels. Korea is actively participating in the development of eNavigation and is developing Korean eNavigation by adding its own concept to eNavigation of the IMO. eNavigation is designed to provide various functions for marine safety. The data required for each function is various such as spatial data, relational data, file, weather grid. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can appropriately provide heterogeneous data suitable for eNavigation to each eNavigation's service system. In this paper, we analyzed the kinds of data needed for e-Navigation and designed the architecture of heterogeneous data service system that could provide these data properly.

In this study, we design and implement RFID system that could be monitored on web. RFID system, 13.56MHz RFID reader was designed and implemented by using MLX12115 RFID chip of Melexis company and Stargate of Xbow company for application to the wireless LAN system. As a result, by using wireless LAN, we develop the easy installation RFID system which make it possible to get tag's information anywhere.

In this paper, we developed the circuit and part information maintenance system based on JSP (Java Server Page) web server using web browser. Designers can easily search part information and register the new components or parts, and this system is linked to the EDA (Electronic Design Automation) system to be applicable to the circuit and part schematics in real time. Therefore, EDA system part library managed by individual designers are integrated into the web-based maintenance system.

Recently, as the ship has undergone a development for smart ship or digital ship. PLC is communication system using the preexistence power line and using PLC as transmission medium to monitoring of equipments is an efficient way to design a system for ship. In this paper, we design and implement RFID monitoring system based on PLC for ship. This proposed system can support monitoring the moving of passenger, crew and important cargo by RHO tag data on shipboard.

Currently, maritime information service is provided by a variety of equipments such as satellites, radar and VHF devices with independent standards and protocols. However, the increase of vessel traffic and development of global marine industries need an infrastructure providing seamless information transfer for the safety, security and protection of the marine environment. Therefore, we propose features and requirements of future VHF data systems and equipments as a component of e-Navigation.

In port and its approach channel, traffic accidents such as collision, aground, minor collision have reached about 77% of total marine casualty in the area. In this paper, an attempt to enhance the safe navigation was proposed by offering marine traffic supporting system which helps VTS operator assist vessel effectively with the quantitative assessment on difficulty of each vessel. The system collects navigation data from onboard AIS, assesses the data in assessment mode to analyze the navigation difficulties of each vessel and displays the degree of danger of each vessel on the ECDIS in real-time to decide the intervention time or order of priority for VTS operator. The effectiveness of the system was verified by the VTS operators in Korea.

In this paper, we propose a technique for high speed removal of sea-fog using a graphic processor. This technique uses a host processor(CPU) and several graphics processors(GPU) capable of parallel processing to remove sea-fog from the input image. In the process of removing sea-fog, the dark channel extraction, the maximum brightness channel extraction, and the calculation of the transmission are performed by the host processor, and the process of refining the transmission by applying the bidirectional filter is performed in parallel through the graphic processor. To verify the proposed parallel processing method, three NVIDIA GTX 1070 GPUs were used to construct the verification environment. As a result, it takes about 140ms when implemented with one graphics processor, and 26ms when implemented using OpenMP and multiple GPGPUs. The proposed a parallel processing algorithm based on the graphics processor unit can be used for safe navigation, port control and monitoring system.

The entertainment system of the aircraft has changed its paradigm in the form of using passenger electronic devices instead of using a fixed monitor. This has simplified the on-board equipment while the risk of safety has increased with the electric charging of portable electronic devices. Unlike personal portable electronic devices that do not have a transmission function, the use of Wi-Fi enabled electronic devices(T-PED) is allowed and the battery is required to be charged in the cabin. In this study, we used the NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System to investigate the effects of changes in wireless environment and entertainment service. Based on this, we analyzed the risks of personal electronic devices by sharing event occurrence cases caused by in-flight electronic equipment or passenger portable electronic devices(especially smart phones) from the viewpoint of aircraft safety management. This analysis includes identification of potential hazards and risk assessment, and finally the strategies for risk mitigation for safe use of portable electronic devices are suggested.
