In our daily life, the need of energy increases day by day. However, the amount of natural resources on the earth is limited and thus gaining renewable energy as an energy resource is one of the important and urgent problems. Solar energy is one of the most popular available energy sources that can be converted into electricity by using solar panels. In order for solar panels to produce maximal output power, the incident angle of the sunlight needs to be persistently perpendicular to the solar panel. By the way, most of the solar panels are installed at fixed position and direction. Therefore, as the sun's position changes, it is impossible to produce maximal output power inevitably. To improve this problem, in this paper, a sun tracking system using two degree-of-freedom (DOF) active sensor array is proposed so that the solar panel may always direct sunlight perpendicularly. And also a series of software, such as a search mode and a holding mode, which can control the developed sun tracking system is developed. Several experiments using the implemented sun tracking system are executed and the effectiveness of the system is verified from the experimental results.

Main purpose of the study is to develop a transit model for icebreaking cargo vessels in the Northern Sea Route and to select optimum sea routes with the shortest navigation time and the lowest operation cost. This numerical model executed with basic information such as ship capabilities, transit directions and months of transit, can calculate total transit distance and elapsed time, mean speed, operation cost for each vessel. In the transit model. environment information such as the site-specific ice conditions, wave and wind states are utilized for four different months (April, June, August, and October) along the Northern Sea Route. The model also defines a necessary period of an icebreaker escort. Then the optimum sea routes are selected and visually displayed on the digital map using a commercial software ArcGIS. Usefulness of the selected sea routes is discussed.

Currently, the crew working on a ship is required to carry a seafarer's book in most countries around the world, including the Republic of Korea (ROK). Yet, many fishermen working in the international waters of the ROK do not abide by this rule as the procedure of obtaining it is rather inconvenient or they do not understand the necessity or the benefits of having it. Also, as the regulation of carrying the certificate has been strengthened, it is important for them to avoid making a criminal record unintentionally. This study discusses the digitalization of the seafarer's book based on several security measures in addition to BLE Beacon-based positioning technology, which can be useful for the e-Navigation. Normally, seamen's certificates are recorded by the captain, medical institution, or issuing authority and then kept in an onboard safe or a certificate cabinet. The material of the certificates is a cloth that can withstand salinity as the certificate could be contaminated by mold. In the past, the captains and their crews were uncooperative when the ROK's maritime police tried to inspect several ships simultaneously because of the time and cost involved. Thus, a system with which the maritime police will be able to conveniently manage the crews is proposed.

The Centimeter Level Augmentation Service (CLAS) is the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) - Real Time Kinematic (RTK) correction service utilizing the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) L6 (1278.65 MHz) signal to broadcast the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) error corrections. Compact State-Space Representation (CSSR) corrections for mitigating GNSS measurement error sources such as satellite orbit, clock, code and phase biases, tropospheric error, ionospheric error are estimated from the ground segment of QZSS CLAS using the code and carrier-phase measurements collected in the Japan's GNSS Earth Observation Network (GEONET). Since the CLAS service begun on November 1, 2018, users with dedicated receivers can perform cm-level precise positioning using CSSR corrections. In this paper, CLAS-based VRS-RTK performance evaluation was performed using Global Positioning System (GPS) observables collected from the refence station, TSK2, located in Japan. As a result of performing GPS-only RTK positioning using the open-source software CLASLIB and RTKLIB, it took about 15 minutes to resolve the carrier-phase ambiguities, and the RTK fix rate was only about 41%. Also, the Root Mean Squares (RMS) values of position errors (fixed only) are about 4cm horizontally and 7 cm vertically.

The mandatory installation of the ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) became an important navigational equipment for navigation officer. In addition, ECDIS is a key component of the ship's digitalization in conjunction with various navigational equipment. Meanwhile, cyber-attacks emerge as a new threat along with digitalization. Damage caused by cyber-attacks is also reported in the shipping sector, and IMO recommends that cybersecurity guidelines be developed and included in International Security Management (ISM). This study analyzed the cybersecurity hazards of ECDIS, where various navigational equipment are connected. To this end, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was conducted on navigation officer using ECDIS. As a result, the development of technologies for cyber-attack detection and prevention should be priority. In addition, policies related to 'Hardware and Software upgrade', 'network access control', and 'data backup and recovery' were analyzed as contents to be maintained. This paper is significant in deriving risk factors from the perspective of ECDIS users and analyzing their priorities, and it is necessary to analyze various cyber-attacks that may occur on ships in the future.

UML(Unified Modeling Language) 클래스 다이어그램은 시스템의 정적인 측면을 표현하며 분석 및 설계부터 문서화, 테스팅까지 사용된다. 클래스 다이어그램을 이용한 모델링이 소프트웨어 개발에 있어 필수적이지만, 경험이 많지 않은 모델러에게 쉽지 않은 작업이다. 도메인 카테고리별로 분류된 클래스 다이어그램 데이터 세트가 제공된다면, 모델링 작업의 생산성을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문은 클래스 다이어그램 이미지 데이터를 구축하기 위한 자동 분류 기술을 제공한다. 추가 정보 없이 단지 UML 클래스 다이어그램 이미지를 식별하고 도메인 카테고리에 따라 자동 분류한다. 먼저, 웹상에서 수집된 이미지들이 UML 클래스 다이어그램 이미지인지 여부를 판단한다. 그리고, 식별된 클래스 다이어그램 이미지에서 클래스 이름을 추출하여 도메인 카테고리에 따라 분류한다. 제안된 분류 모델은 정밀도, 재현율, F1점수, 정확도에서 각각 100.00%, 95.59%, 97.74%, 97.77%를 달성했으며, 카테고리별 분류에 대한 정확도는 81.1%와 95.2% 사이에 분포한다. 해당 실험에 사용된 클래스 다이어그램 이미지 개수가 충분히 크지 않지만, 도출된 실험 결과는 제안된 자동 분류 방식이 고려할 만한 가치가 있음을 나타낸다.

최근 조선 산업의 기술이 발전함에 따라 선박의 크기 및 성능이 향상되었다. 이에 따라 한 번의 선박 간 충돌로 인한 좌초 등의 사고가 대형 해난사고를 초래할 수 있게 되었다. 이러한 심각성을 고려하여 국제 사회에서는 해사안전 향상을 위해 지속적으로 전자해도 기준을 업데이트하고 있다. 국제수로기구(IHO)에서 관리하는 기존의 전자해도 관련 표준은 S-57로, S-57 안에는 기존 이진(Binary) 형태의 전자해도 데이터를 제작하기 위한 기준이 담겨있다. 그러나 S-57은 2000년 12월 3.1 버전이 발표된 이후 업데이트가 중단되어 지속적으로 성장하고 있는 해양공간정보의 기술 경향을 반영하지 못하고 있다. IHO에서는 이러한 흐름에 대처하기 위해 차세대 전자해도 제작기준 표준인 S-100을 제정하였으며, 기존 S-57과 다른 데이터의 교환 형식을 사용하였다. 기존 전자해도의 경우에는 이진 형태로 구성되었으나 차세대 전자해도 표준을 기반으로 한 S-10X 전자해도 데이터의 경우에는 피처 카탈로그(Feature Catalogue), 포트리얼 카탈로그(Portrayal Catalogue), GML로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 점을 고려할 때 전자해도의 유효성 검증 표준인 S-58의 업데이트 또는 새로운 유효성 검증 표준의 제정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이에 변화된 데이터의 유효성 검증 시험을 위해 자체 소프트웨어를 개발하였고 테스트 결과에 따른 개선점을 도출하였다.

Growing demand and rapid development of the synthetic fiber rope in mooring system have taken place since it has been used in deep water platform lately. Unlike a chain mooring, synthetic fiber rope composed of lightweight materials such as Polyester(polyethylene terephthalate), HMPE(high modulus polyethylene) and Aramid(aromatic polyamide). Non-linear stiffness and another failure mode are distinct characteristics of synthetic fiber rope when compared to mooring chain. When these ropes are exposed to environmental load for a long time, the length of rope will be increased permanently. This is called 'the creep phenomenon'. Due to the phenomenon, The initial characteristics of mooring systems would be changed because the length and stiffness of the rope have been changed as time goes on. The changed characteristics of fiber rope cause different mooring tension and vessel offset compared to the initial design condition. Commercial mooring analysis software that widely used in industries is unable to take into account this phenomenon automatically. Even though the American Petroleum Institute (API) or other classification rules present some standard or criteria with respect to length and stiffness of a mooring line, simulation guide considers the mechanical properties that is not mentioned in such rules. In this paper, the effect of creep phenomenon in the fiber rope mooring system under specific environment condition is investigated. Desiged mooring system for a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit(MODU) with HMPE rope which has the highest creep is analyzed in a time domain in order to investigate the effects creep phenomenon to vessel offset and mooring tension. We have developed a new procedure to an analysis of mooring system reflecting the creep phenomenon and it is validated through a time domain simulation using non-linear mooring analysis software, OrcaFlex. The result shows that the creep phenomenon should be considered in analysis procedure because it affects the length and stiffness of synthetic fiber rope in case of high water temperature and permanent mooring system.

We report an analysis of two poorly studied eclipsing binary stars, GSC 04396-00605 and GSC 04395-00485 (recently named V455 Dra and V454 Dra, respectively). Photometric data of the two stars were obtained using the 1-m Korean telescope of the LOAO operated by KASI while monitoring the cataclysmic variable DO Dra in the frame of the Inter-Longitude Astronomy (ILA) project. We derived periods of 0.434914 and 0.376833 days as well as initial epochs JD 2456480.04281 and JD 2456479.0523, respectively, more accurate than previously published values by factors 9 and 6. The phenomenological characteristics of the mean light curves were determined using the New Algol Variable (NAV) algorithm. The individual times of maxima/minima (ToM) were determined using the newly developed software MAVKA, which outputs accurate parameters using "asymptotic parabola" approximations. The light curves were approximated using phenomenological and physical models. In the NAV algorithm, the phenomenological parameters are well determined. We derived physical parameters using the Wilson-Devinney model. In this model, the best-fit parameters are highly correlated, thus some of them were fixed to reasonable values. For both systems, we find evidence for the presence of a cool spot and estimate its parameters. Both systems can be classified as overcontact binaries of EW type.
