A concept of the "e-Navigation" was introduced in 2005 and implementation strategies are under way by IMO/IALA in the maritime safety area. Specially VTS is an important maritime traffic monitoring and aids to navigation system which is aims to improve safety, navigation efficiency and protect the marine environment. The demand of the inter-VTS networking has been increased and standardization is underway for realization of shore side collaboration for maritime safety in IALA. But there may be security problems in the inter-VTS networks if they have not proper security mechanism. The hacking of realtime ship position and sensitive maritime surveillance information caused a critical accident of vessel, human life and environment by terrorist. This paper aims to design of a secure inter-VTS network structure and related security protocol for secure sharing of sensitive maritime data.

In ports of Korea, the marine traffic flow is congested due to a large number of vessels coming in and going out. In order to improve the safety and efficiency of these vesse's movement, South Korea is operating with a Vessel Traffic System, which is monitoring its flow 24-7. However despite these efforts of the VTS (Vessel Traffic System) officers, marine accidents are occurring continuously in their control area. VTS Officers are controlling subjectively based on their experience due to no VTS control guideline of dangerous situation among vessels. On this paper, we listened to Busan VHF channel for 3days and analyzed the message. With collision risk model, We analyzed a moment of risk which officers advise or recommend to vessel in encounter situation, VTSO's career, and day&night.

해상교통관제(VTS; Vessel Traffic Service)는 IMO RESOLUTION A.857(20) on Guidelines for Vessel Traffic Service와 해사안전법 제36조, 개항질서법 제 28조에 의거 해상운송에서의 위험을 감소하고 해상교통질서확립과 안전확보를 위하여 전세계 주요항만 및 수역에서 이용되고 있다. 최근 해상교통관제 분야에 인적요인을 도입하여 사고예방 및 감소를 도모하고 있으나 해상교통관제의 특수한 상황을 충분히 고려하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해상교통관제와 해상교통관제사의 특수한 업무상황을 고려하여 직무를 분석하고 인간공학적 분석기법을 적용하여 사전해상상황인식을 위한 관제업무의 예측모듈을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 통하여 체계적인 관제업무 분석의 프레임을 제공하고 관제사들이 효율적으로 관제업무를 수행하도록 하기 위한 실무적 업무프로세스를 제시한다.

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.

The process of berthing/deberthing operations for entering/leaving vessels in Busan northern harbor was analyzed and evaluated by using an integrated VTS(vessel traffic service) system installed in the ship training center of Pukyong National University, Busan, Korea. The integrated VTS system used in this study was consisted of ARPA radar, ECDIS(electronic chart display and information system), backup(recording) system, CCTV(closed-circuit television) camera system, gyro-compass, differential GPS receiver, anemometer, AIS(automatic identification system), VHF(very high frequency) communication system, etc. The network of these systems was designed to communicate with each other automatically and to exchange the critical information about the course, speed, position and intended routes of other traffic vessels in the navigational channel and Busan northern harbor. To evaluate quantitatively the overall dynamic situation such as maneuvering motions for target vessel and its tugboats while in transit to and from the berth structure inside a harbor, all traffic information in Busan northern harbor was automatically acquired, displayed, evaluated and recorded. The results obtained in this study suggest that the real-time tracking information of traffic vessels acquired by using an integrated VTS system can be used as a useful reference data in evaluating and analyzing exactly the dynamic situation such as the collision between ship and berth structure, in the process of berthing/deberthing operations for entering/leaving vessels in the confined waters and harbor.

For effective ship management in VTS(Vessel Traffic Service), it needs to assess the external force acting on ship. Big data in maritime traffic can be roughly categorized into two groups. One is the traffic information including ship's particulars. The other is the external force information e.g., wind, sea wave, tidal current. This paper proposes the method to assess the external force acting on ship using big data in maritime traffic. To approach Big data in maritime traffic, we propose the Waterway External Force Code(WEF code) which consist of wind, wave, tidal and current information, Speed Over the Water(SOW) of each ship, weather information. As a results, the external force acting a navigating ship is estimated.

In recent years, VTS system was developed in Korea through a government R&D project for domestic manufacturers and operating authorities. The field test of the developed system in a real environment was constructed at the Gunsan VTS center. Testing was conducted for certain new IT convergence technology with VTS, such as traffic analysis, pilotage etc. So, we described some functions and advantages with tested VTS in real environment.

This paper aims to Analysis on Structure about Information assistance of VTS(vessel traffic service) using fuzzy structure model. Generally, fuzzy structure model is difficult to all structure of a system by difficulty of the choice of critical value and Parameter. In this paper, is able to analysis all structure about information assistance of ITS system by hierarchical structure graph and division graph. Also, this paper is analysis and show a practical problem with interpretation of a model through how some example again.

This paper compared the consistency of the Environment Stress(ES) model and the Potential Risk Assessment Model (PARK model, which was developed based on a Korean mariner risk perception) for the Busan adjacent waterway. Evaluation of accuracy and comparison of these two models have been made by Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) officers in the Busan VTS Centre. The assessment results of Busan waterway show that the PARK model is more consistent than the ES model as follows. (1) The difference between assessment results applying ES model and PARK model with risk degree of VTSOs were 34% and 5% respectively in six typical traffic situations. (2) The assessment using PARK model is more suitable and identical with the VTSOs opinion in his or her duty time.
