Abstract

To enhance the reliability and/or resilience of the PNT service included in the e-Navigation strategy of the IMO, the evaluation of the AIS-TWR method for the asynchronous R-mode for maritime service, which is available even in the absence of the GNSS, is described. For the AIS-TWR, which is capable of ranging through message exchange even without high precision synchronization, the operation scenario and the error factors according to the AIS system specifications are proposed and analyzed. Cramer-Rao Lower Bound is presented for the performance evaluation of the AIS-TWR algorithm. A simulation by AIS-TWR method of two AIS systems in a 3 km static environment shows estimation error of about 41m compared to the real value..

국제해사기구의 e-Navigation 전략에 포함된 PNT서비스의 신뢰성 향상을 위해 GNSS 부재 시에도 활용 가능한 해사업무용 비동기식 R-mode인 AIS-TWR 기법을 제안하고 성능을 평가하였다. 기존 정밀 동기에 기반을 둔 동기식 측위 기법과 달리 동기가 되어 있지 않은 경우에도 메시지 교환을 통해 거리 측정이 가능하도록 AIS시스템 사양에 따른 동작 시나리오 제안 및 오차 요인을 분석하고 관련 식과 알고리즘을 도출하였다. 제안 기법의 성능 평가를 위해 추정 가능 한계를 나타내는 크래머-라오 하한을 제시하였으며 3km의 정적 환경에 놓인 두 AIS 시스템을 대상으로 AIS-TWR 기법에 의한 시뮬레이션 결과 참 값 대비 약 41m의 추정 오차를 보였다.
