In this paper, a land and maritime unified tourism information guide system is proposed which employs robust speech recognition in ship noise environments. Most of conventional front-ends for speech recognition have used a Wiener filter to compensate for stationary noise such as car or babble noises. However, such the conventional front-ends have limitation in reducing non-stationary noise that are occurred inside the ship on voyage. To overcome such a limitation, the proposed system incorporates nonlinear multi-band spectral subtraction to provide highly accurate tourism route recognition. It is shown from the experiment that compared to a conventional system the proposed system achieves relative improvement of a tourism route recognition rate by 5.54% under a noise condition of 10 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

In the field of ship inspection in South Korea, due to outdated workflow processes, there is a possibility of tampering with inspection results. Accordingly, research is being conducted to prevent tampering with inspection results by introducing blockchain technology and cloud-based systems that allow real-time tracking and sharing of data, and to establish a transparent and efficient communication system. In this study, unit and integrated processes for overall data management and inspection execution related to ship inspection were implemented to automatically collect, manage, and track various inspection results occurring during the ship inspection process. Through this, it aimed to increase the efficiency of the ship inspection process overall, inducing growth in the ship inspection industry as a whole. The implemented web portal reached a level where trend analysis and comparative analysis with other ships based on inspection results are possible, and subsequent research aims to demonstrate the excellence of the system.

This study proposes the improvement of maritime traffic management for domestic ships and fishing vessels by introducing the e-navigation environment. This study discusses the development of present Vessel Traffic service (VTS) in a systematic aspect and a fuctional aspect. The concept and architecture of e-navigation operation system based on the General Information Center on Maritime Safety and Security (GICOMS) are proposed as a solution for the improvement of maritime traffic management in Korean coastal waters. Especially, means of data exchange between ships and ship-shore based on the Maritime Cloud and regional e-Data Center are discussed. This study will help to the implementation of the Korean e-navigation project which focuses on the safety of small ships and fishing vessels. In the future, it is needed to study for the development and operation of accident prevention system under the e-navigation environment.

The ship system is complex and advanced, and the operation relationship between each element is very high. So it is necessary to approach it in terms of an overall and integrated system in addition to the traditional sequential approach of finding and removing the direct cause of the accident when analyzing the accident. In this study, it is analyzed the recent fire accidents on ships occurred the Korean terrestrial water using a STAMP methodology that is different from conventional accident analysis techniques. This analysis reviews a range of factors, including safety requirements to prevent fires in ships, inappropriate decisions and actions, situations, equipment defects, and recommendations derived from accident analysis results. Through a comprehensive approach to accident prevention using STAMP, alternative evaluations are presented at the component level within the entire system of ships, and they are systematically used for accident prevention and risk evaluation as well as simple accident analysis.

This paper is to develop a monitoring system with diagnosis for smart cargo sensors that is for management and maintenance of the liquid cargo ships. The main goal of the system is to achieve the total automation system of the cargo sensor. By this study, the active smart sensor for the liquid cargo ships is designed and developed that guarantees high-confidence, stability, and durability. The proposed system consists of a monitoring part of the steam pressure, high-level monitoring, over flowing monitoring, gas monitoring, and tank temperature monitoring. The signals transferred from each unit system are used for sensor diagnosis based on confidence and accuracy. Finally, in this study, the total supervisory monitoring system is developed to maintain and manage the cargo effectively based on fault diagnosis and prognosis of the each sensor system.

In this paper, the feasibility of ORBCOMM satellite-based automatic identification system (SAT-AIS) is evaluated in the context of ship AIS slot collision probability depending on reporting rate, We evaluate detection probability evaluation of ORBCOMM satellite-based AIS considering link budget, SOTDMA protocol and satellite's swath width. The simulation determines the total number of vessels served by ORBCOMM satellite according to satellite's swath width, AIS slot allocation and reporting rate. By simulation results, the ORBCOMM satellite-based AIS slot collision is increased directly proportional to the total number of vessels and the more detection probability evaluation of ORBCOMM satellite-based AIS degrader, the more sip AIS reporting rate shorter.

In this study, for integrated management and inter-exchange of operational data generated by ships and land-side information on safe and business, a vessel communication system with modular functions was designed that applied high efficiency compression, least-cost algorithms and Inmarsat FBB connection automation system. Performance test at the KTsat Kumsan satellite earth station; system was found to delivered an average transfer speed of 7 kB/S, which was significant improvement from the existing commercial product's average speed of 5 kB/S. It also delivered twice the efficiency of the existing product in terms of compression rate and transfer of the most widely used office files in maritime businesses.

According to the development if the ships navigational equipment, a bridge system has been improved but a marine accidents by human error haven't been reduced Recently our interest is concentrated on a suitable ergonomic arrangement and design of the ships bridge equipment to reduce an error due to human factors. The bridge alarm system should be designed to recognize the alarm informations as soon as possible and to deliver it clearly. Internationally, the matter is being discussed on the BAMS(Bridge Alarm Management System) in a view if a ergonomic bridge design, but a practical design method is not getting result.. In this paper I would like to review an application approach of human engineering ergonomics to a bridge alarm system and propose a conceptual design if the Ergonomic Integrated Bridge Alarm Management System(EIBAMS)

현재 선박에서 항해사에게 항로정보를 제공하는 장비는 ECDIS와 GPS 플로터가 많이 사용되고 있으나 자동항로생성 및 항로설명기능이 없어 숙련된. 항해사만 사용할 구 있는 문제가 있으며, 특히 종이해도의 대체 시스템인 ECDIS에 사용되는 ENC를 이용한 자동항로생성 및 항로 설명에 관한 연구는 없는 실정이다. ENC는 IHO에서 정의한 S-52, S-57 표준포멧을 기반으로 제작된다. 본 논문에서는 ENC의 해도데이터와 GPS의 위치데이터, Anemometer의 풍향$\cdot$풍속데이터, 조류데이터를 이용하여 현 위치에서 목적지까지의 최적항로를 설계하여 안내해주는 통합형 항해가이딩시스템(INGS)을 구축하여 그 유효성을 확인하였다.
