  • COSPAS-SARSAT 406 MHz 조난용 비콘에는 항공용의 ELTs (emergency locator transmitter), 선박용의 EPIRBs (emergency position indicating radio beacon), 개인용의 비콘인 PLBs(personal locator beacons)가있으며, 406 MHz 조난주파수로 부호화된 메시지를 발사하여 조난 시 탐색과 구조를 위한 경보를 보내는 데 사용한다. COSPAS-SARSAT 기술문서인 C/S T.001과 T.018은 조난용 비콘 개발에 필요한 기본 기술정보와 메시지 구성방법, 형식승인을 위한 시험방법 등을 포함하고 있다. 기존의 저궤도와 정지궤도위성을 사용하는 COSPAS-SARSAT 시스템은 반송링크서비스(RLS; return link service) 기능이 없어 조난자가 조난신호의 발사여부를 확인할 수 없었으나 새롭게 추가된 중궤도 위성 시스템은 RLS 기능이 도입되어 확인이 가능하게 됐다. 이 논문은 개선된 중궤도 위성을 활용한 406 Mhz의 PLB와 121.5 Mhz의 호밍 신호 발생기, 243 MHz의 항공용 VHF AM 송신기를 통합하는 탐색구조 단말기 개발에 필요한 C/S T.001과 T.018을 분석하였다.

  • The aim of the study is to investigate the usability of wheel navigation key(WNK) recently adopted for the new models of mobile phone and MP3 product. In this study, an experiment was designed to evaluate the functional benefit of WNK by using a performance test. A questionnaire was also used to examine the personal preference. In results, a significant difference was found in performance time between wheel-type and button-type product. In general, the difference was more significant as subject's skill level was higher. In particular, the performance time was significantly shortened with the WNK when a searching task was required, but push button was an effective interface for simple search task among beginners. Therefore, the wheel navigation key can be used to improve the usability of product by reducing the searching time in mobile phone and mp3. For practical application, the user's level of skill needs to be considered to maximize the effect of interface when choosing WNK or push button.

  • With the rapid development of spatial infrastructure in US, Europe, Japan, China and India, there is no doubt that the next generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) will improve the integrity, accuracy, reliability and availability of the position solution. GNSS is becoming an essential element of personal, commercial and public infrastructure and consequently part of our daily lives. However, the applicability of GPS in supporting a range of location-sensitive applications such as location based services in an urban environment is severely curtailed by the interference of the 3D urban settings. To characterize and gain in-depth understanding of such interferences and to be able to provide location-based optimization alternatives, a high-fidelity 3D urban model of Melbourne CBD built with ArcGIS and large scale high-resolution spatial data sets is used in this study to support a comprehensive simulation of current and future GNSS signal performance, in terms of signal continuity, availability, strength, geometry, positioning accuracy and reliability based on a number of scenarios. The design, structure and major components of the simulator are outlined. Useful time-stamped spatial patterns of the signal performance over the experimental urban area have been revealed which are valuable for supporting location based services applications, such as emergency responses, the optimization of wireless communication infrastructures and vehicle navigation services.

  • Since the global positioning system (GPS) has been included in mobile devices (e.g., for car navigation, in smartphones, and in smart watches), the impact of personal GPS log data on daily life has been unprecedented. For example, such log data have been used to solve public problems, such as mass transit traffic patterns, finding optimum travelers' routes, and determining prospective business zones. However, a real-time analysis technique for GPS log data has been unattainable due to theoretical limitations. We introduced a machine learning model in order to resolve the limitation. In this paper presents a new, three-stage real-time prediction model for a person's daily route activity. In the first stage, a machine learning-based clustering algorithm is adopted for place detection. The training data set was a personal GPS tracking history. In the second stage, prediction of a new person's transient mode is studied. In the third stage, to represent the person's activity on those daily routes, inference rules are applied.

  • The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities(IALA) model course recommends specific aspects of basic curriculums for Vessel Traffic Services(VTS) operator education such as modules, course hours, contents, etc. Most domestic training programs for newly appointed VTS operators comply with such recommendations. The objective of this study is to determine whether such modules for VTS operator training recommended by the current IALA model course correspond to the actual opinions of VTS operators who are currently working in the field. To this end, the relative importance of basic modules for vessel traffic services operator training was analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method. A questionnaire was designed to include 8 modules recommended by the IALA model course, and the survey results of 52 individuals working at 5 VTS centers were analyzed. The result showed that, unlike the assumption by the IALA, domestic VTS operators viewed Nautical Knowledge as the most important modules, followed by Emergency Situations, Traffic Management, Language, Equipment, VHF Radio, Communication Co-ordination, and Personal Attributes, in that order.

  • In this paper, for implementing a real-time software GNSS receiver we propose the highly efficient and fast algorithms such as partial down-conversion, phase rotator, composite I&Q accumulation, Virtual DCO technique, and parallel acquisition using FFT. When the proposed algorithms are used, more 30 tracking channels with 3 tracking arm(early-prompt-late) is operated real-time on Intel 2.8GHz personal computer. Also, the partial down-conversion reduces the FFT size, for parallel acquisition, to 1/8 of conventional FFT-size and the program size includes map is not exceed 1Mbyte. Finally, the proposed real-time software GNSS receiver using the proposed algorithms provides the navigation solution with below 10 meter rms error.

  • Since it is very important for an ocean-going vessel to transmit information quickly and accurately to her owner or charterer not only for the ship's safety but for economic operation of the ship, some newly-built automated vessels equipped with automatic information transmission system which consists of INMARSAT-C and specially-designed computer. This system, however, is not applicable to the existing vessel without chaging her equipments and, furthermore, is too expensive for small shipping companies to fit out such a system on their vessels. Therefore, we propose a low-priced information transmission system which consists of a personal computer and communication equipments in the existing vessel, and in this paper, as the groundwork of the proposed system, we have made up the ship's position transmission system which is composed of and IBM AT-compatible, PC, INMARSAT-A and a GPS receiver. As the test result of the system through sea trial on the training ship 'HANBADA', we confirmed that transmission of the ship's position was achieved succesfully and consequently there could be high possibility of cost-effectiveness of the proposed system.

  • This paper presents the sensor location and step estimation algorithm for personal navigation system (PNS). PNS has the disadvantage in that the position of the sensor must be fixed on a human body. Three-axis acceleration sensor is used to solve the disadvantage and to consider the real situation. We simplify the measurement data by using the band pass filter, witch It has the advantage in the detection of characteristic point. Through the detected characteristic points, it is possible to setup the parameter for the pattern detection. Depending on the sensor location, the parameters have the different type of noise covariance. Particularly, when the position of the sensor is changed, the impulse noise shows up. Considering the noise, we apply the recursive least square algorithm using the variable forgetting factors, which can classify the sensor location based on the estimated parameters. We performed the experiment for the verification of the proposed algorithm in the various environments. Through the experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.
