In the maritime traffic environment, the near-miss between vessels is the situation approaching on collision course but collision accident is not occurred. In this study, in order to calculate the near-miss between navigating vessels, the discriminating equation using ship bumper theory and vessel position clustering methods are proposed. Applying proposed module to the vessel trajectories of the WANDO waterway, we assessment navigational risk factors of vessel type, navigational speed, meeting situation.

In this paper, we present a system design for location determination inside the ship. Since the GPS signal can not be received in the interior of the large vessel, we use the vessel wireless AP (Access Point) RSSI (received signal strength indication) to accurately measure the position. We convert the RSSI for the 3 AP's into distance through the Friis formula and get the location through triangulation. The signal strength varies irregularly due to noise making it difficult to obtain the exact location. Thus Kalman filter is used to real-time position correction, that is store in a server database.

The Automatic Ship Identification System(AIS) is importantly used to evaluate the trajectory of ships and the possibility of collision between ships. However, it is difficult to provide real-time information due to the limitation of the transmission intervals. Most of the studies to improve this are conducted based on ideal data, so there is a problem that it is hard to respond to the actual situation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a discrete Kalman filter-based method that reflects the turning angle according to the type of trajectory, to provide real-time position information on real-time data. In addition, the accuracy evaluation of the proposed algorithm is conducted through experiments using actual data.

In recent years, the need for economical and sustainable ship routing has emerged due to the enforced regulations on environmental issues. Despite the development of weather forecasting technology, maritime accidents by rough waves have continued to occur due to incorrect weather forecasts. In this study, onboard measurements are conducted to observe the acutal situation on merchant ships in operation encountering rough waves. The types of measured data include information related to navigation (Ship's position, speed, bearing, rudder angle) and engine (engine revolutions, power, shaft thrust, fuel consumption), weather conditions (wind, waves), and ship motions (roll, pitch, and yaw). These ship experiments was conducted to 28,000 DWT bulk carrier, 63,000 DWT bulk carrier, 20,000 TEU container ship, and 12,000 TEU container ship. The actual ship experiment of each ship is intended to acquire various types of data and utilize them for multi-objective studies related to ship operation. Additionally, in order to confirm the sea conditions, the directional wave spectrum was reproduced using a wave simulation model. Through data collection from ship experiments and wave simulations, various studies could be proceeding such as the measurement for accurate wave information by marine radar and analysis for cargo collapse accidents. In addition, it is expected to be utilized in various themes from the perspective of safety and efficiency in ship operation.

The marine accident is being highlighted as a serious worldwide problem for the guard station of human safety and the protection of marine environment pollution. Especially, the GMDSS is operated as a international rule for the safety of a large scale ship, but the small size ship's management is required a adaptive national rule because of the complex condition of national circumstance. This study is motivated to develop a ship's position tracking system combined with GPS information for VTS and control the ship navigation, velocity and longitude etc.. In Part of Navigation Data Transmission is GPS data transmission whih ship's ID using microprocessor and TX speed translation for flexibility with 4800∼2400 [bps]. Results show that the our system for data transmission using microprocessor is useful tool in maritime transmission as SSB used the main TX method of small ship and has a cost competitive power. Therefore, we will expected cost and technical competitive power compared to AIS. But those systems are still remained the unsolved problem for protection from marine accident.. Finally, we examined the semi-actual receiving state on simulated sailing in the around sea of Mok-Po harbor.

On the basis of DCPA(Distance to Closest Point of Approach) and TCPA(Time to CPA), the conventional algorithms for collision avoidances have a drawback that the '72 CORLEGs(International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972) has not taken into account to prevent collisions between ships. In this paper, the proposed algorithm decides whether the own ship is a give-way vessel or a stand-on vessel by observing the relative bearing of the encountered ship. To determine the ship position and time for collision avoidance, the proposed algorithm utilizes the ellipse model for ship safety domain. The computer simulation is done to represent the process of adversive behavior. Using the proposed method, the past maritime accident is analyzed. The proposed method can be effectively applied to collision avoidance by CORLEGs even when the target ship's navigational lights is invisible in poor weather and/or in the restricted visibility.

When a Ship sails in the ocean, it is significant to find one's position for safe navigation. Most of ships have been using GPS navigation since its development after 1990's. The celestial navigation was used as the navigation method when sailing in the ocean, but time-consuming process such as complicated calculation and plotting the result on chart diminished its utilization. The thesis explains convenience and utilization of existing celestial navigation by resolving challenges it has. As a way of enhancing the celestial navigation, the author developed a software which incudes a numerical formula based on the previous calculation process. When a navigator inputs the altitude of sun, GHA and dec into computer while sailing, the position of the ship will be displayed as the coordinates. The improved method thus reaffirmed the usefulness of the celestial navigation and will greatly serve as means of navigation in the occurrence of distress. Abstract should be placed here.

This paper resents a novel cargo system adapted for a sea port subjected to severe time-varying tide. The proposed system can perform loading or unloading by using a sort of hydraulic elevator associated with real-tim position control. As a preliminary phase, a small-sized model of the cargo system is designed and constructed. The model consists of three principal components ; container palette transfer(CPT) car, platform with lifting columns and cargo ship. The platform activated by the electro-rheological(ER) valve-cylinder is actively controlled to track the position of the cargo ship subjected to be varied due to the time-varying tide and wave motion. Following the derivation of the dynamic model for the platform and cargo ship motions, an appropriate control scheme incorporating time sequence and PID(proportional-integral-derivative) controller is formulated and implemented. Both the simulated and the measured control results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cargo system.

In this paper, an INS compensation algorithm is proposed using the accelerometer from IMU. First, we denote the basic INS algorithm and show that how to compensate the position error when low cost IMU is used. Second, considering the ship's characteristic and ocean environments, we consider with a drift as a periodic external environment change which is affected with exact position. To develop the compensation algorithm, we use a repetitive method to reduce the external environment changes. Lastly, we verify the proposed algorithm through the experiments, where the acceleration sensor is used to acquire real data.
