The traffic volume will be increased and the traffic of larger vessel could be multiplied in the Pohang port by the opening of the Young-il new port in 2006. Unfortunately, however, potential danger factors to the safe navigation, disordered navigation and traffic congestion are still existing in the Pohang port and approaching waters. This paper describes the status of marine traffic flow and navigational characteristics based on the marine traffic survey using the exclusive software, and the results of marine traffic survey classify into ship's type, size and track history of passing ships through the statistical methods. Finally the examinations of marine traffic route, traffic flow and navigational characteristics are discussed. These results can be used for the best design of ship's routing at the Pohang waters.

Maritime traffic engineering is a technical field that observes the flow of vessels' traffic in accurate and describes the feature of ship's movement statistically, then contributes for the improvement of traffic flow and the safety of traffic. The flow of marine traffic can be controlled by carrying out assessment and analysis of vessel's traffic. It can realize the safety of marine traffic by accurate research and analysis of vessel's traffic, understanding its flow and analysis data of vessel traffic. This study shows the analysis system of marine traffic connected with Radar, AIS based on ENC(Electronic Navigational Chart). The marine traffic analysis system contributes to the safety of marine traffic through the design of marine traffic route, harbour facilities and improvement of vessels' traffic flow.

The purpose of this study is to find suitable probability distribution function of complex distribution data like multimodal. Normal distribution is broadly used to assume probability distribution function. However, complex distribution data like multimodal are very hard to be estimated by using normal distribution function only, and there might be errors when other distribution functions including normal distribution function are used. In this study, we experimented to find fit probability distribution function in multimodal area, by using AIS(Automatic Identification System) observation data gathered in Mokpo port for a year of 2013. By using chi-squared statistic, gaussian mixture model(GMM) is the fittest model rather than other distribution functions, such as extreme value, generalized extreme value, logistic, and normal distribution. GMM was found to the fit model regard to multimodal data of maritime traffic flow distribution. Probability density function for collision probability and traffic flow distribution will be calculated much precisely in the future.

We carried out the maritime safety audit for Sandal Water Bridge constructed between Geje-Do and Sandal-Do in 2015. To study as to whether can be secured the marine traffic safety for this area, this research investigated and performed the marine accident, marine traffic volume, the marine traffic flow simulation and shiphandling simulation. It is considered to be required the quantitative guidelines for maritime safety audit including audit target area and formal audit object etc.

The Istanbul Strait is one of the important waterways in the world. And its southern entrance has a highly congested local traffic. Till now there are several studies regarding how the Istanbul Strait is dangerous to navigate and how those dangers can be mitigated. But there is no study regarding local traffic which is posing great collision risk. In a certain traffic area, marine traffic safety assessment parameters are traffic volume, frequency of collision avoidance maneuver, traffic density, traffic flow and potential encounter, In this paper local traffic volume, traffic flow and potential encounter number of local traffic vessels and possibility of collision are investigated in order to find degree of danger at the southern entrance of the Istanbul Strait. Finally by utilizing those, risky areas are determined for southern entrance of the Istanbul Strait. Results have been compared to a previous study regarding risk analysis at congested areas of the Istanbul Strait (Aydogdu, 2006) and consistency of the results were presented.

Vessel traffic safety management means the managerial technical measures for improving the marine traffic safety in general terms. The main flow of vessel traffic safety management is that: 1) Traffic Survey, 2) Replay by Marine Traffic Flow Simulation, 3) Quantitative Assessment, 4) Policy Alternatives, 5) Prediction·Verification. In the management of vessel traffic safety, it is most important to establish assessment models that can numerically estimate the current safety level and quantitatively predict the correlation between the measures to be taken and the improvement of safety and the reduction of ship handling difficulties imposed on mariners. In this paper, the replay model for traffic flow simulation was made using marine traffic survey data, and the present traffic situation became replay in the computer. An attempt was made to rate the current safety of ports and waterways by applying the Environmental Stress model. And, as a countermeasure for traffic management, by taking of, the promotion of total traffic congestion in early morning rush hour, the correlation between traffic control rate and the reduction in ship handling difficulties imposed on mariners was predicted quantitatively.

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.

The approaching waters of Po-hang port will be increased the traffic volume and passage of larger vessel according to the opening of Young-il new port in 2006. But the adjacent area of Po-hang port still exist the danger elements of safe navigation, the disordered navigation and traffic congestion. Therefore the safety of traffic must be improved in Po-hang vicinity area. This paper describes the status of marine traffic flow and navigational characteristics based on the marine traffic survey using the exclusive software, and the results of marine traffic survey classify into the ship's types and tonnage and track history of passing ships through the statistical method. Finally the examinations of main traffic route, traffic flow and navigational characteristics are discussed, and these results can be utilized the best design of ship's routing at the Po-hang approaching water.
