The use of satellite remote sensing in maritime safety and security can aid in the detection of illegal fishing activities and provide more efficient use of limited aircraft or patrol craft resources. In the area of vessel traffic monitoring for commercial vessels, Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) which use the ground-based radar system have some difficulties in detecting moving ships due to the limited detection range. A virtual vessel traffic control system is introduced to contribute to prevent a marine accident such as collision and stranding from happening. Existing VTS has its limit. The virtual vessel traffic control system consists of both data acquisition by satellite remote sensing and a simulation of traffic environment stress based on the satellite data, remotely sensed data. And it could be used to provide timely and detailed information about the marine safety, including the location, speed and direction of ships, and help us operate vessels safely and efficiently. If environmental stress values are simulated for the ship information derived from satellite data, proper actions can be taken to prevent accidents. Since optical sensor has a high spatial resolution, JERS satellite data are used to track ships and extract their information. We present an algorithm of automatic identification of ship size and velocity. This paper lastly introduce the field testing results of ship detection by RADARSAT SAR imagery, and propose a new approach for a Vessel Monitoring System(VMS), including VTS, and SAR combination service.

E-Navigation is required port operation for effective and safety. Maritime traffic data must be exchanged between Vessel Traffic Service Center and ship for e-navigation build. In this paper, We designed Open API system for the exchange and use of maritime traffic data. This system provide Open API data to $3^{rd}$ party.

VTS operators may suffer from acute, chronic, or traumatic stress caused by their workload and working environments associated with task or combination of task. This study intended to measure the level of VTS operator' stress and find out factors influencing it by understanding their characteristics during carrying out their task. For this purpose, analyzed the data collected through conducting survey on VTS operators as the Korea Occupational Stress(KOSS) and Psychological Well-being Index(PWI). As a result, VTS operators are experiencing higher level of psychological stress than the national average. And the factors to cause VTS operators' occupational stress can be summarized as follows; working environment factors, shift work especially night duty, workload, etc. This study provides the fundamental information for understanding human factors of VTS operator' occupational stress.

We aim to propose the prediction modeling method of ship's position with extracting ship's trajectory model through pattern recognition based on the data that are being collected in VTS centers at real time. Support Vector Machine algorithm was used for data modeling. The optimal parameters are calculated with k-fold cross validation and grid search. We expect that the proposed modeling method could support VTS operators' decision making in case of complex encountering traffic situations.

Two different sensors (here, KOMPSAT and RADARSAT) are considered for ship detection, and are used to delineate the detection performance for their data. The experiments are set for coastal regions of Mokpo Port and Ulsan Port and field experiments on board pilot boat are conducted to collect in situ ship validation information such as ship type and length. This paper introduce mainly the experiment result of ship detection by both RADARSAT SAR imagery and landbased RADAR data, operated by the local Authority of South Korea, so called vessel traffic system (VTS) radar. Fine imagery of Ulsan Port was acquired on June 19, 2004 and in-situ data such as wind speed and direction, taking pictures of ships and natural features were obtained aboard a pilot ship. North winds, with a maximum speed of 3.1 m/s were recorded. Ship's position, size and shape and natural features of breakwaters, oil pipeline and alongside ship were compared using SAR and VTS. It is shown that KOMPSAT/EOC has a good performance in the detection of a moving ship at a speed of 7 kts or more an hour that ship and its wake can be imaged. The detection capability of RADARSAT doesn't matter how fast ship is running and depends on a ship itself, e.g. its material, length and type. Our results indicate that SAR can be applicable to automated ship detection for a VTS and SAR combination service.

VTS(Vessel Traffic Center)는 관할해역의 해상교통데이터를 수집하여 해상교통관제를 수행하고 있다. 이러한 해상교통데이터는 가공되지 않는 정보이므로, 관제사 및 선박 등 사용자가 유용하게 활용할 수 있는 형태로의 분석이 필요하다. 이는 객관적인 데이터로 관제사 및 선박에서 해상교통 안전정책을 수립하는데 중요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 수년간 VTS에 축적되고 있는 BIG DATA를 활용하여 해상교통패턴을 분석하고자 한다. 분석하는 해상교통패턴은 통항분포, 선종별 항적 비교, 예부선의 강 조류 주의구역 판별, 항로상 어선 조업 현황분석 등을 통해 빅데이터를 활용한 관제구역설정, 집중관제구역 검토가 가능하다.

대부분의 관제사들은 매일 다루고 있는 콘솔에 불편한 느끼는 일이 많다. 하지만 이러한 관제사들의 생각이 VTS 시스템 개발에 반영되지 못하고 있는 것도 사실이다. 현재 개발 중에 있는 u-VTS(차세대 한국형VTS)에 관제사들의 현장 경험을 접목시키는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 유저 인터페이스에 대해서 알아보고, 관제사의 상황자각 및 의사결정에 실질적인 도움을 줄 수 있는 방향으로 운영자 콘솔의 유저 인터페이스가 개선되도록 하는데 초점을 두었다.

In this paper, authors introduce about Wide Range Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) system using Automatic Identification System (AIS). In order to develop the prototype of Wide Range VIS system, Korean satellite is used for data communication system for AIS. In this system, ship position obtained by using GPS is reported automatically to VTS center through Korean satellite. By using this system, VTS center can cover more wide area than the case using radar only. And the uncertainty of information is decrease. The results of test show the good possibility of VTS using satellite and AIS.

최근 해상교통관제시스템(VTS : Vessel Traffic Service)은 항행지원정보교류가 가능한 육상국으로서 선박 통항의 안전과 효율성을 증진시키고 환경을 보호하는 e-Navigation의 핵심적 시스템으로 역할이 기대되고 있다. 최근 IALA를 통하여 국제적으로 데이터 공유를 위한 구조에 대한 연구와 표준 포맷이 정해지고 있으며 IVEF(IVEF:Inter-VTS Data Exchange Format)는 이중의 한 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 실시간의 트래픽 정보는 국가적으로 보안에 민감한 요소이나 현 규격에 정해진 보안성에 대한 규정은 다소 정해진 바 없이, 연동하기 위한 보안 규격을 다시 설계하여 상호 추진하고 연동시험을 수행해야 될 수준이다. 또한 Radar에 대한 물표 자체의 전달은 현재 고려하고 있지 않기 때문에 Track되지 않은 물표는 불필요한 많은 속성들을 같이 전송해야 하며, 레이더 물표에 대한 별도의 정해진 속성은 없는 상태여서 기존의 선박의 길이를 기반으로 비율을 고려하여 다시 재 산출되어야 가능하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 데이터 공유를 위한 IVEF의 규격을 검토하고 이를 보완하는 내용을 고려하여 새로운 프로토콜 및 방안을 제시한다. 이러한 구조는 VTS 시스템에서 적용 가능한 방안인지를 확인하여, 실제 적용할 수 있는 기술개발로서 방향을 정립하고자 한다.

Vessel traffic servies (VTS) control movements in ports and coastal areas 24 hours a day using VHF. Thus, we were able to check ship movements and the patterns followed by VTS officers in VTS areas using VHF communication analysis. This study is intended to identify control intervals for dangerous situations and provide VTS officers with basic data and guidelines to prevent these occurrences in advance. We listened to Busan port's VHF communication for seven days and obtained risk values using the Park model with reference to controlled ships. The probability of a dangerous situation arising under a controller's watch per unit of time was confirmed to follow a Poisson distribution. As a result, for each 3.50 hours that VTS directly controls an area, (and in daytime for each 2.85 hours) a ship communicates in a VTS area every 3.84 hours, and some of there communications exceed certain risk values in VTS areas.
