  • The Coastal VTS will be continuously constructed to prevent marine traffic accidents in the coastal waters of the Republic of Korea. In order to provide the best traffic information service to the ship operator, it is important to understand the navigation risk factor. In this study, we analyzed the navigational hazards of Gunsan coastal area where the coastal VTS will be constructed until 2020. For this purpose, major traffic flows of merchant ships and density of vessels engaged in fishing were analyzed. This study was conducted by Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Vessel Pass (V-PASS) data. The grid intervals are 10 minute ${\times}$ 10 minute (latitude ${\times}$ longitude) based on the section of the sea. A total of 30 sections were analyzed by constructing a grid. As a result of the analysis, the major traffic flows of the merchant vessels in the coastal area of Gunsan were surveyed from north to south toward Incheon, Pyeongtaek, Daesan, Yeosu, Pusan and Ulsan, and from east to west in the port of Gunsan Port, 173-3, 173-6, 173-8, 183-2, 183-5, 183-8, 183-3, 184-1 and 184-2. As a result of the study, the fishing boats in Gunsan coastal area mainly operated in spring and autumn. On the other hand, the main traffic flow of merchant ships and the distribution of fishing vessels continue to overlap from March to June, so special attention should be paid to the control during this period.

  • 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.

  • We have developed in-situ vacuum gauge calibration system in the range 1 Pa to 100 kPa by using constant volume method. The system is capable of gauge calibration by comparison method without demount the reference gauges. The system will be useful for dissemination of national vacuum standards to foreign developing countries and domestic industries.

  • This research does by purpose that present safe navigation plan for ships during doing dredging construction with dredger crossing waterway of Gadeok Dredging operations need to build sunken tunnel that cross the bottom of the sea under waterway of Gadeok for access road construction between Busan- Geoje. Accordingly, dredger must cross and dredge waterway of Gadeok fatally. There is possibility of marine accident of collision for latent danger situation of ships to navigate waterway of Gadeok relatively. Therefore, safe navigation plan of ship is groped in reply and its countermeasure is presented. Firstly, navigating traffic in daytime was forecasted less than 20% of its maximum capacity through estimating the traffic volume and traffic congestion The proposal was presented to execute dredging operations in three-step and to establish temporary waterway after reviewing waterway design principles. The role of VTS center was emphasized in the new Busan Port, lastly.

  • This paper contributes to the development of an early detection system to detect the alteration of a target ship during early stages using the steering wheel signal via AIS communication. The feasibility of this system is also verified with a real ship trial. It was confirmed that the rudder angle on ECDIS was ordinarily marked green or red by the used rudder angle after the steering wheel operation. We were able to detect intentions for a change in course by a target ship quickly and efficiently avoid collisions. This system will contribute to more active VTS services and the analysis of marine accidents using the General Information Center On Maritime Safety & Security (GICOMS).

  • Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of visual feedback exercise (VFE), sandal exercise (SE), and thera-band exercise (TE) on people with functional ankle instability. Methods: The 45 study participants were divided into three groups of 15. In the VFE group, participants performed short-foot exercises using visual feedback; the SE group performed sandal exercises, and the TE group performed thera-band exercises. Over a period of 8 consecutive weeks, the experimental groups exercised for 15 minutes per session, four times per week. Balance was measured using the Biodex Balance System for dynamic balance ability (overall balance index [OBI], mediolateral balance index [MBI], and anterioposterior balance index [ABI]). Vibration threshold sense (VTS) was assessed using a vibratory sensory analyzer. Ankle muscular strength was measured using the Biodex 4 Pro. The main outcome measures were assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks of training. Results: Significant improvements in dynamic balance were noted in all three groups (p < 0.05). Significant improvements in VTS and muscular strength were also noted in the VFE and TE groups but not in the SE group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Appropriate environmental and situational mediation may be of great clinical significance for patients suffering from chronic ankle instability. It is hoped that the findings will inform a program for prevention of ankle instability.

  • Ships and marine structures(lighthouses and buoys for AtoN) have AIS(Automatic Identification System) for transmission messages which include navigational and environmental information. VTS Center and surrounding ships receive and apply the information to safety navigation. A main characteristic of AIS messages is open to general people, so many researches are in progress. In this paper, we design an information management system which considers marine vessel traffic and environmental information in korean littoral sea. The system gathers and processes the information, and stores the processed data to multi-stage database. Also the system visualizes the stored data to use analysis and statistics based on ENC.

  • The tasks of Vessel Traffic Services are classified according to the content of the information provided. Since the establishment of the first Vessel Traffic Service center in 1993 at Phohang harbour, it has been steadily developed and its work domain and scope have been expanded. In this paper, the importance and workload of Vessel Traffic Service operators were analyzed according to classification of the tasks. In order to measure the importance and workload, questionnaires were conducted for the operators nationwide, and conclusions were drawn using the multi-criteria decision making process. The relationship between the importance of tasks and the workload might be used as the weights for setting the service areas in the future. Furthermore, it is expected to be used as the data of changable sector operation based on the relationship between importance and workload.
