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 vessels, South Korea is operating with a Vessel Traffic Service System, which is monitoring its waters for 24 hours. However despite these efforts of the VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) officers, collisions are occurring continuously, the risk situation is analyzed that occurs once in about 20 minutes, the risk may be greater. It investigated to reduce these accidents by providing a safety standard for collision danger in a timely manner. Thus, this study has developed a risk prediction module to predict risk in advance. This module can avoid collision risk to adjust the speed and course of ship using a risk evaluation model based on ship operator's risk perspective. Using this module, the ship operators and VTS officers can easily be identified risks in complex traffic situations, so they can take an appropriate action against danger in near future including course and speed change. To verify the effectiveness of this module, this paper predicted the risk of each encounter situation and confirmed to be capable of identifying a risk changes in specific course and speed changes at Busan coastal water.

IOn 7th of Dec. 2007, large oil spill took place the seas off the Taean coast caused by the collision between VLCC Hebei Spirit and crane floating barge Samsung-1 and a lot of problems were revealed during response to the accident. The author, accordingly, examined to analyze the cause of this accident on the aspect of spill prevention and presented some preventive measures, such as strictness to the current standard for tug operation, expansion of VTS service area and transfer of the VTS responsibility to Korea Coast Guard, designation of appropriate anchorage per ship's type, cargo and visiting purpose, and special management for dangerous goods carriers.

At present the identification of vessels is still depending on the OOW (Officer Of Wateh) in VTS (Vessel Traffic Service), which is completed by radar, and also by the combination of VHF radio and VHF direction finder. However, with the development of port transportation and economic, this conventional way of identification can't satisfy more and more request for the information that the VTS needs from the vessels. In such a case, the AIS(Automatic Identification System) precept which is based on STDMA (Self-organized Time Division Multiple Access) technique is put forward by IMO (International Maritime Organization). AIS can automatically provide the information, including own ship's identification, type, position, course, speed, and other information to the appropriately equipped coast station and other ships. At the same time it can also automatically monitor and track the nearby ships similarly fitted with AIS. On the basis of describing the whole comprising and the format of transmission information of AIS, this paper mainly studies the key communication techniques in AIS, such as STDMA protocol, net synchronization and GMSK(Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying)technique, and so on. At last this paper briefly introduces the recommendation decided by IMO on forcing the sea-going ships to fixed with AIS equipments, and it continuos with the unexploited potential of AIS if it applies in VTS.

Two different sensors (here, KOMPSAT and RADARSAT) are considered for ship detection, and are used to delineate the detection performance for their data. The experiments are set for coastal regions of Mokpo Port and Ulsan Port and field experiments on board pilot boat are conducted to collect in situ ship validation information such as ship type and length. This paper introduce mainly the experiment result of ship detection by both RADARSAT SAR imagery and landbased RADAR data, operated by the local Authority of South Korea, so called vessel traffic system (VTS) radar. Fine imagery of Ulsan Port was acquired on June 19, 2004 and in-situ data such as wind speed and direction, taking pictures of ships and natural features were obtained aboard a pilot ship. North winds, with a maximum speed of 3.1 m/s were recorded. Ship's position, size and shape and natural features of breakwaters, oil pipeline and alongside ship were compared using SAR and VTS. It is shown that KOMPSAT/EOC has a good performance in the detection of a moving ship at a speed of 7 kts or more an hour that ship and its wake can be imaged. The detection capability of RADARSAT doesn't matter how fast ship is running and depends on a ship itself, e.g. its material, length and type. Our results indicate that SAR can be applicable to automated ship detection for a VTS and SAR combination service.

VTSO make a decision which one will be danger and what to expect ship's actions due to each encountering situation with CPA(Closest Point of Approach) and TCPA(Time to Closest Point of Approach) by monitoring ship's vectors(Course & Speeds) in real-time through the VTS system. This study is the fundamental research for developing algorithm and system that does not decide the collision risk in one's own ship's viewpoints, but it identifies the related ships into danger through the third party(VTS ) in real time.

In terms of the maritime accident prevention, risk analysis at targeted warterways is important for planning safety waterways. This paper analyzes the maritime accidents probability in the Mokpo waterways, South Korea, based on the IWRAP(IALA Waterway Risk Assessment) of the quantitative accident probability tool. Vessel collision probability cate is calculated by vessels meeting direction, using IWRAP. This paper contribute to advance improvement of vessel traffic service by VTS sector providing vessel fairway risk data.

실시간 위치 기반 선박 충돌 위험도는 자선의 관점에서 선박충돌의 위험을 판단하는 것이 아니라 VTS(Vessel Traffic Service)의 관점에서 충돌 위험이 있는 선박을 식별하고 충돌 위험 지역을 전자 해도에서 실시간으로 확인하여 해당 해역 전체의 선박 교통흐름과 통항하는 선박간의 위험도를 평가하는 것이 목적이다. 항해사로써의 승선 경험과 관제사로써의 근무 경험, 그리고 다 년간 VTS 관제 업무를 수행하고 있는 관제사들로부터 충돌의 위험이 있는 선박을 식별하는 방법으로 주로 선박간의 벡터(코스와 속력)를 실시간으로 모니터링하여 충돌 위험이 있는 선박에게 피항 조치를 취하도록 정보를 제공하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 DCPA(Distance to Closest Point of Approach)와 TCPA(Time to Closest Point of Approach), 그리고 최근접시간을 변수로 하는 충돌 위험 함수식(최대값=100)을 연구하여 각 지점의 위험도를 실시간으로 표시하는 기초 모델을 연구하였다.

최근 선박의 연안 선박의 안전사고가 증가함에 따라 기존 항만 중심으로 운영되고 있던 해상교통관제센터의 관제 범위가 연안까지 확대되고 있다. 이에 따라 해상교통관제센타(Vessel Traffic Service Center, VTS) 간에 데이터 교환의 필요성도 증가하고 있다. 국제항로표지협회 IALA(International Association of Lighthouse Authorities, IALA)는 이러한 필요성을 인지하고 해상교통관제센터간 데이터 교환 프로토콜인 IVEF(Inter-VTS Exchange Format)를 제정하였다. 그러나 IVEF 프로토콜 특성상 외부 해상교통관제센터간 데이터가 전송됨으로 데이터 변조등의 위험성이 있다. 하지만 IVEF 프로토콜은 보안 관련 요소들이 미미한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 IVEF 데이터의 무결성을 보장하는 방법을 제안한다.
