  • Usually marine traffic survey has been conducted by some methods like an ocular observation using portable RADAR, a questionnaire, etc. But these should have expended a lot of manpower and expenses. In this paper, we have developed new observation module which could capture the RADAR image using PC camera simply, and allowed as to track targets on the PC monitor directly. And it has been programmed to make a database of RADAR image, target's track and information, and analyze the marine traffic tendency in various ways like vessel number crossed over gate line, vessel's velocity distribution in gate line, traffic density distribution, etc. We have confirmed that this module could observe and analyze the marine traffic efficiently and economically through several on-the-spot experiments.

  • This paper studied safety benefit of operation-effectiveness analysis on marine traffic safety facilities. In the operation-effectiveness of marine traffic safety facilities the benefits can be divided as safety benefit, transport benefit, and other benefit. Safety benefit was produced as the loss aversion cost of marine traffic caused by the reduction of marine accidents after establishing and operating marine traffic safety facilities. First of all the reduction rate marine accidents was estimated to do it, and the detail model of loss aversion cost was constructed Then each variable in the model was defined and the method of computation presented.

  • This study focused on the investigating of the improving measure of marine traffic system around Pyung-Taek Pilotage area. First, we analyzed the marine traffic environment on the study area based on the expert point of view of pilot and shipmasters. Then suggested the following countermeasures to improve the traffic safety according to the analytic results of the hazardous items on the Jangan-Seo and Ippa pilot embarking/disembarking area. We suggested to establish Mokdeok-do TSS and TSS in Ando area, and to adjust the width of Jangan-seo TSS to improve the congestion on the TSSs. Also suggest to put lightbuoys along the outer limit of the TSS. In addition, recommend to establish traffic safety specific area on the Jangan-seo/Ippa-do water, and to suggest expand the anchorage area of Ippa and Jangan-seo anchorage. It is anticipated to improve the traffic safety on the study area through the marine traffic system improvements.

  • The marine traffic congestion has increased due to the expansion of vessel traffic volume in Korean coastal waterway these days. Heavy traffic could bring serious marine casualties which cause the loss of human lives, properties and marine pollution in coastal area. In this paper. the probability analysis of marine casualties in Korean coastal To achieve this aim, clears up the cause of accident and examines closely the mutual relations among marine casualties, weather condition, and marine traffic volume. These casualties are classified into several pattens or the point of view of ship‘s size, ship’s type and ship‘s age and its characteristics of each patten are described in detail.

  • The "ship's routeing" system was adopted by IMO and has been operated on the major sea routes of all over the world for the prevention of marine casualty and the improvement of marine traffic flow. Thereupon, also in Korea, the "Hong-do" and "Bogil-do" sea routes on southern coast were designated to mandatory sea area by traffic separation scheme(TSS) in 2003, and the "Geomun-do" sea route on southern coast was designated in 2005. But there were few or no studies on the effect of designated traffic separation scheme in Korea. For this reason, in this paper, we evaluated the contribution of traffic separation scheme to the prevention of marine casualty and the improvement of marine traffic flow after designation of domestic traffic separation scheme using data of the marine casualties and ship's tracks from AIS information. The results of evaluation showed that on the contrary, the cases of marine casualties were increased on some sea routes and regular traffic flows were disturbed by some vessels after designation of traffic separation scheme. For the safer and better sea routes, alternative ideas such as reposition of ship's routing on "Hong-do" and "Bogil-do" sea areas were suggested.

  • This study examined environmental condition, marine accidental data, marine traffic capacity and traffic flow, and fisheries zone status near Ulsan approaching water area. A questionnaire survey of marine traffic system was conducted on experts and users, and new plan was proposed. On the basis of the responses of experts and users to questionnaire, the essential factor of navigation danger and the essential factor of collision risk as well as the improvement plans were proposed. More efficient navigational fairway was set up through this study.

  • Marine transportation system plays an important role in maintaining and promoting economic activities among countries. The accurate understanding of marine traffic flows are necessary for the further advancement of marine transportation system. While many existing researches on marine traffic have been conducted mainly on the basis of statistical analysis using traffic data, ship's traffic flow simulation model was developed in this study. A collision avoidance algorithm was conducted with categorizing of traffic factors such as ship's length and speed. The developed model was also verified by a simulation process.

  • In near future, more congested and dangerous marine traffic environment due to the rapid marine traffics increase and ship handling difficulty by enlargement of ship size is predicted. In this paper, an navigation supporting system proposal made to enhance the safe navigation by providing the collision avoidance informations to the navigator via marine traffic environment assessment. Proposed navigation supporting system displays results of marine traffic environment assessment, degree of the dangers and gives reason of danger which is enhance situational awareness of navigator. For this purpose, results of marine traffic environment assessment which is obtained via real time assessment sent to the designated server and through the connection with navigation supporting system navigator being enable to see all those informations on the computer screen Navigator would utilize those information to make a decision in the difficult waterways and thus safe navigation could be enhanced.
