자율운항선박(Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships, MASS)의 선회특성이 충돌회피에 미치는 영향을 식별하는 것은 MASS의 충돌회피에 핵심적인 단서를 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 다양한 타각과 선속에 의해서 변할 수 있는 선회특성이 충돌회피에 미치는 영향을 식별하기 위한 것이다. 선회특성이 충돌회피에 미치는 영향은 전장 161 미터 선박의 수학 모델을 이용하여 선회권을 관측한 후, 네 가지 충돌조우상황에 대한 충돌회피 수치 시뮬레이션의 결과를 이용하여 분석하였다. 두 선박 사이의 최소상대거리와 최소시간을 평가 변수로 이용하여 평가한 결과, 타각은 최소상대거리의 변화에 주요한 영향을 미치고, 선박의 속력은 최소시간의 변화에 주요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 평가 방법은 MASS의 원격제어에서 충돌회피를 하나의 방법으로 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

선박의 충돌회피조선에 있어서 조종성능은 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 사용되는 조종성능은 심수역을 대상으로 작성되며, 천수역을 항주하는 선박의 조종성은 일반적으로 선회성은 저하되고 침로안정성 또는 추종성은 향상된다. 이러한 선회성의 변화는 충돌회피에 있어 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 천수역의 조종성능을 반영함과 동시에 충돌위험정도를 쉽게 파악할 수 있도록 하기 위한 가변안전경계영역의 새로운 적용기법을 제시하였다. 수학적 수치시뮬레이션 검증을 통하여 새롭게 제안된 기법의 유용성을 확인하였다. 따라서 선박충돌위험에 대한 충분한 충돌회피 조선을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We have proposed modeling methods of mariners' standard behavior for collision avoidance by analyzing mariners' recognition process in a previous study. As a subsequent study, the aim of this study is to build a model of mariners' execution process which is one of six processes in the condition of collision avoidance. In this study, thus, the structure of mariners' information processing on the process of taking avoiding actions is described and the relation between mariners' behavior and necessary factors in the process is analyzed. And then we have built a model of mariners' standard behavior for execution process based on the characteristics of mariners in ship-handling, which are obtained from the international collaborative research on human factors. It is tried to define the contents of execution process based on the standard behavior of mariners for collision avoidance and to formulate information processing of mariners.

As a method to reduce collision accidents of ships at sea, this paper suggests an expert system for collision avoidance and navigation (hereafter "ESCAN"). The ESCAN is designed and developed by using the theory and technology of expert system and based on the information provided by AIS and RADAR/ARPA system. In this paper the ESCAN is composed of four(4) components; Facts/Data Base in charge of preserving data from navigational equipment, Knowledge Base storing production rules of the ESCAN, Inference Engine deciding which rules are satisfied by facts or objects, User System Interface for communication between users and ESCAN. The ESCAN has the function of real--time analysis and judgment of various encountering situations between own ship and targets, and is to provide navigators with appropriate plans of collision avoidance and additional advice and recommendation This paper, as a basic study, is to introduce the basic design and function of ESCAN.

The proportion of collision in the total marine accidents is high. The main causes of collisions are navigation rule violation, safety speed violation, neglected watch-keeping and improper collision avoidance action. There are two main ways of avoiding collision situations during maritime navigation: the method of altering course and reducing ship's speed. The purpose of this study is to analyze the result of the collision avoidance action of the reserve officer in case of encountering a multiple number of ships using the ship handling simulator. Full-mission ship handling simulator was used to experiment the situation scenarios that encountered multiple ships. After the experiment, the questionnaire about the experiment was investigated. A total of 50 subjects were participated in the experiment. Experimental results showed that the number of the experimenters who used the engine was 11 and the number of the experimenters who did not use the engine was 39. In the case of using the engine, there were 0 collision accident, 1 grounding accident, and 10 no accidents. However, when the engine was not used, there were 28 collision accidents, 2 grounding accidents, and 9 no accidents. The causes of these results can be found in the survey results. 74 % of the non used engine participants said they were hesitate to use the engine. As can be seen from these results, the reserve officer are hesitant to use the engine and need a way to get correct of it. Maritime course subject can emphasize the importance of using ship's engines and case study also can be it. So, It is considered that various case study scenario will need to developed by various tools in the future.

This study presents an automatic collision avoidance algorithm for autonomous navigation of unmanned surface vessels. The performance of the collision avoidance algorithm is heavily dependent on the estimation quality of the course and speed of traffic ships because collision avoidance maneuvers should be determined based on the predicted motions of the traffic ships and their trajectory uncertainties. In this study, the collision avoidance algorithm is implemented based on the Probabilistic Velocity Obstacle (PVO) approach considering the maritime collision regulations (COLREGs). In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm, an extensive set of simulations was conducted and the results are discussed.

About 75% of vessel collision accidents are caused by human error, which causes enormous economic loss, environmental pollution, and human casualties, thus research on automatic collision avoidance of vessels is being actively conducted. In addition, vessels must comply with the COLREGs rules stipulated by IMO when performing collision avoidance with other vessels in motion. In this study, the collision risk was calculated by estimating the position and velocity of other vessels through the Probabilistic Data Association Filter (PDAF) algorithm based on RADAR sensor data. When a collision risk is detected, we propose an event-triggered Nonlinear Model Predict Control (NMPC) algorithm that geometrically creates waypoints that satisfy COLREGs and follows them. To verify the proposed algorithm, simulations through MATLAB are performed.

해기사의 인적오류는 전체 해양사고 원인의 70% 이상을 차지한다. 해양사고 중에서 충돌사고는 막대한 인적/물적 손실을 야기하기 때문에 적극적인 예방이 필요한데, 특히 인적오류에 의한 충돌사고 예방이 시급한 실정이다. 현재, 선박에서 사용되고 있는 충돌회피장치에는, Autopilot, Track Control System, ARPA/Radar, ECDIS 등이 적용되고 있으나 항해사의 인적오류 예방 기능은 없다. 본 연구에서는 기존 Autopilot의 다양한 기능에 해기사의 인적오류를 예방할 수 있는 기능을 추가한 새로운 선박충돌회피 시스템(Human Collision Avoidance System, Hu-CAS)의 개발 개념을 소개한다. Hu-CAS는 1) 선박과 물표 사이의 충돌위험을 평가하는 부분과, 2) 충돌위험의 수준을 결정하는 의사결정 모듈, 3) 결정된 결과를 반영하여 선박의 제어 변수를 도출하기 위한 제어변수 추정 모듈, 4) 제어변수를 이용하여 선박의 타 각과 속력을 제어하는 제어 시스템 등으로 구성된다. Hu-CAS는 현재의 Autopilot을 대체할 수 있고, 미래 개발될 자율운항 선박과 유인선박 사이의 충돌회피 시스템으로 적용이 기대된다.
