Smart AtoN(Aids to Navigation) that meet the future environment will generate variety of information and be provided in variety. In order to provide a customized service to marine users, the managers of AtoN should be able to check the any time and data in the desired format. In addition, in order to properly manage the AtoN in the future, it is necessary to identify the cause of the AtoN accidents and make efforts to prevent accident. In this study, 7 types of causes and 11 types of accidents were presented for AtoN accidents.

Aids to Navigation (AtoN) contribute to preventing marine accidents and protecting marine environment by providing various information such as location information etc. to ships. Recognizing the importance of the AtoN, a 24 won of the AtoN service fee is charged for ships entering and leaving international trade ports. However, while the 24 won of the AtoN service fee has been maintained since its establishment in 1999, the demand for new roles of the AtoN service for autonomous shipping and smart port operations, etc. has gradually increasing with the change of shipping and port 4.0. Thus the purpose of this study was to estimate the appropriate level of the AtoN service fee in accordance with such changes in the shipping and port industries. To accomplish this, a method of recovering the total cost was introduced to the PROOF (Pyeongtaek Regional Office of Ocean and Fisheries). It is estimated that there are four cases in which estimation of the AtoN service fee is estimated in two cases year by year and conversion year, the AtoNs of PROOF are classified into the all and part of a ship using the trade port. As a result of the estimation, the AtoN service fee of PROOF is estimated at 53.78-71.62 won (as of 2019), and 29.78-47.62 won is higher than the today at 24 won. The results of this study can be used as useful basic data for the operation of budgets and policy management considering the role of the AtoN.

In this paper, we proposed a short distance control method of AtoN charge and discharge regulator. The proposed control measures, was constructed by applying the communication standards NEMA018 of AtoN and control function analysis of the charge and discharge regulator that has been operating in the country. By using the control method is proposed, while maintaining the waterproof without product degradation, there is an advantage that can communicate control wired or wireless. Also, it is possible to ensure the accessibility of the charge and discharge regulator in operation, it is effective for maintenance. In this paper, installed the application to control the charge and discharge regulator to the smart-phone. by using a PC and Blue-tooth communication, to examine the effectiveness of the control information. Future, control method of power controller, can provide a national standard.

As demands for the maritime communications increase, a variety of functions and information are required to exchange via elements of maritime systems, which leads communication traffic increases in maritime frequency bands, especially in VHF (Very High Frequency) band. Thus, effective resource management is crucial to the future maritime communication systems not only to the typical terrestrial communication systems. VHF data exchange system (VDES) enables to utilize more flexible configuration according to the communication condition. This paper focuses on the VDES communication system among VDES terminals such as shore stations, ship stations and aids to navigation (AtoN) to address efficient resource allocation. We propose a resource management method considering a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technique in VDES, which has been widely used for modern terrestrial wireless networks but not for marine environments by scheduling the essential communication resources. We introduce the general channel model in marine environment and give two metrics, spectral and the energy efficiencies to examine our resource scheduling algorithm. Based on the simulation results and analysis, the proposed method provides a possibility to enhance spectral and energy efficiencies. Additionally, we present a trade-off relationship between spectral and energy efficiencies. Furthermore, we examine the resource efficiencies related to the imperfect channel estimation.

If the power of the general is not supplied, Visual aids utilize solar power system. The power supply system of these, the role of the power regulator to manage the charging and discharging is very important. In recent years, by introducing the IT technology for the effective management of visual aids, it was supposed to add a device that uses the power consumption. Thus, the importance of power regulator has increased. Currently, the power regulator is installed inside the AtoN, if the accessibility is not ensured, there is a difficulty that can not be checked. In order to solve these problems, in this paper, you have installed the Blue-tooth module to the power regulator. Also, by using the Blue-tooth communication function of a smart phone, a radio check has implemented a possible monitoring system. Advantage of the system implemented is a simple configuration and low installation cost. Also, it is possible to check the state information of the real-time power supply regulator. In addition, it has the effect of preventing accidents and reducing costs of inspection.
