To establish a vessel safety management system for improving the safety of vessel's traffic and preventing vessel's traffic accidents, the state of marine traffic in the Busan South Port was investigated and analyzed as preliminary survey of the countermeasures. As a result of the study, there are 1,158 vessels in a day, 48 vessels in an hour, and the maximum traffic is about 118 vessels between 16:00 and 17:00 hours everyday, which requires to establish and operate a traffic control system necessarily for ensuring vessel's traffic safety. Furthermore, passages of tanker, passenger ship, cargo vessel and government vessel showed to sail along main traffic lane to be obtained enough sea depth at the survey area. However, passages of fishing vessel and launch showed to sail freely at all survey area owing to outstanding maneuverability and a shallow draft. Some vessels of launch sailed along main traffic lane, but other vessels crossed to sail it. The passages to cross main traffic lane is higher the risk of collision. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed for the operation of the Busan South Port management system and the prevention of marine pollution.

The quality of service provided by Vessel Traffic Services depends on the tasks characteristics and the work environment of Vessel Traffic Service operators. In this paper, the working conditions of Vessel Traffic Service operators are analyzed in order to propose methods to improve the working environment of Vessel Traffic Services and to provide high quality service through them. The questionnaire survey was conducted for Vessel Traffic Service operators working at 20 Vessel Traffic Service centers. It is expected that it might be used as the basic data for improvement of work environment and organization of Vessel Traffic Service center in the future.

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.

In this paper, we analysed vessel traffic volume and patterns of traffic flow for ships using areas where included wind farm site and adjacent waters of Daejeong Offshore Wind Farm, and estimated traffic volume by classified navigational routes according to suggestion of rational routeing measures on the basis of classified patterns after installation of offshore wind facilities. Also, we assessed vessel traffic safety for each designed routeing measures on the basis of estimated traffic volume and proposed requisite countermeasures for the safe navigation of ships. With a result of analysing patterns of traffic flow, the current traffic flow was classified by 8 patterns and the annual traffic volume was predicted to 8,975 ships. On the basis of these, expected the vessel traffic volume according to designed four routeing mesaures after installation of wind farm. As result of assessing vessel traffic safety by using powered-vessel collision model of SSPA on the basis of the estimated traffic volume, the value of collision probability was less than safe criteria $10^{-4}$. Thereby we made sure usability of the designed routeing measures for the safe navigation of ships.

Accurate vessel traffic observation is indispensable to carry out vessel traffic management, design of vessel traffic route, planning of port construction, etc. In order to observe the vessel traffic accurately without many efforts such as the use of a ship or car equipped with special radar observation system and the preparation of observation staff, the authors have been developing completely automated remote radar/AIS network system covering the main traffic area in Tokyo Bay. The composite radar image observed at Yokosuka and Kawasaki radar stations with AIS information can be seen on web site of Internet. In addition to the development of radar/AIS observation system, the software to analyze observed vessel traffic flow has been developed. This software has various functions such as automatic tracking of ship's positions, automatic estimation of ship's size, automatic integration of radar image and AIS data, animation of ships' movements, extraction of dangerous ship encounters, etc. The configuration and functions of the developed remote radar/AIS network system are shown first in this paper. Then various functions of the software to analyze vessel traffic are introduced, and some analyzed results on the vessel traffic in Tokyo Bay are described demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed system.

Recently IMO and IALA have developed the strategy of e-Navigation and the concepts of VTM to enhance the safety, efficiency and security of vessel traffic and protection of the marine environment. And current technical and functional trends require vessel traffic management systems to be improved so as to control vessel traffic not only in waters of harbour area, but also within EEZ waters. Under the consideration of these circumstances, a three-layered vessel traffic management system was proposed in this paper. The proposed system consists of three sub-systems, called Local VTS, Regional VTS and National VTS, and those sub-systems are designed respectively to be suitable for managing vessel traffic within their own jurisdiction waters.

Maritime transportation engineering is a technical field that observes the flow of vessel's traffic in accurate and describes the feature of ship's movement statistically, then contributes to 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 the analysis system of marine traffic connected with Radar, AIS based on ENC(Electronic Navigational Chart). The marine traffic analysis system contributes to safety of marine traffic through the design of marine traffic route, harbour facilities and improvement of vessel's traffic flow.

The maritime traffic system research has been studied for the safety and efficiency of the Marine Navigation. In order to evaluate the maritime traffic system, the vessel traffic observation is playing important roll. Recently, the way of collecting the vessel traffic information has been become fixed by using the radar, the AIS and the visual observations. However, it is still difficult to get the information about ships without the AIS. In this paper, the past vessel traffic observation results are shown. From those data and introducing the way of Japanese traffic survey, the recent matters of the vessel traffic observation are discussed.

This research analysed the marine traffic dangerous degree of korean ports by using the number of passing ships, the passing ratio of large ships and the occurrence number of marine accident. Also, it investigated the basic parameters as the number of sector or area of vessel traffic service area, and it examined the proper design compared the traffic dangerous parameters with the present area number of VTS.
