Recently, IALA has introduced AIS AtoN and standardized Aids to Navigation communication system and the World-wide IALA-Net has announced plans to build the system. Systematic beacon network may offer opportunities to make infrastructure for information service and upgrade AtoN service performance. This paper proposes Aids to Navigation information service network for e-NAV. Network based on AIS is consist of AIS AtoN channels as Real, Synthetic or Virtual AIS AtoN. And inner network is consist of Wireless networks as AIS, WCDMA, WIFI, WlBRO, USN or VSAT. Introducing of various network systems can lead to combine and design among land, beacon and service network infrastructures.

As trade cross the world is increasing these days, safe and effective management of harbour system is becoming important issue. With this background, the development of automatic time-domain simulation programme for ship berthing operation has been being peformed and PD (Proportional Derivative) controller has been used to control the speed and the heading angle of ships. This paper provides feasibility study for developing the time-domain simulation programme for berthing operation of ships with analysing advantages and drawbacks of the two different mathematical models, one is for low advance speed of ships by Kose (1984) and the other is MMG model for normal advance speed, through the simulations with various initial heading angles and positions of the ship.

This paper provided a simulation model for transport vehicles that carry container from the ship to yard block and vice versa at automated container terminal with a perpendicular yard layout. Usually, the efficiency of container terminal is evaluated by the productivity of container cranes at apron, and the stevedoring system for transport vehicles and yard cranes should be supported enough to improve productivity of container cranes. Especially, transport vehicle is very important factor in the productivity of container cranes and the performance of transport vehicles are changed according to the number and traveling type of vehicles. For these reason, a method that can estimate productivity of transport vehicle is required Finally, we developed the simulation model to analyze the productivity of transport vehicle and presented the productivity of container cranes for a varying operation of transport vehicles.

This paper describes the system for evaluating the sea wave informations such as wave direction and wave length in real time, by using image data obtained from the marine X-band radar. We proposed here a method for automatic selection of the partial image data without the user's individual selection at the radar. We also discussed that the wave direction could be obtained by a 2-dimensional discrete Fourier transform algorithm. We carried some evaluation works on the algorithm through computer simulation. The obtained thirteen radar image data under several sea surface conditions were analyzed by the method described and the result was presented.

In recent years, we have been working on the improvement project of mercury 3-lecture type at the Geummundo lighthouse for more than 100 years. We have installed toxic mercury removal, LED light source, and dualization system for nonstop. It can be seen as an example. Circular restoration of the entire frame is performed, and the real-time status can be grasped through the installation of the double-ball bearing and the remote control system. After installation, optical measurement through Hanvit secured the optical performance of 2,000,000 cd of floating brightness of 300cd, proving the efficient possibility of introducing the domestic rotary type light source using LED light source.

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..

Seg fog removal is an important issue concerned by both computer vision and image processing. Sea fog or haze removal is widely used in lots of fields, such as automatic control system, CCTV, and image recognition. Color image dehazing techniques have been extensively studied, and expecially the dark channel prior(DCP) technique has been widely used. This paper propose a fast and efficient image prior - dark channel prior to remove seg-fog from a single digital image based on the GPU. We implement the basic parallel program and then optimize it to obtain performance acceleration with more than 250 times. While paralleling and the optimizing the algorithm, we improve some parts of the original serial program or basic parallel program according to the characteristics of several steps. The proposed GPU programming algorithm and implementation results may be used with advantages as pre-processing in many systems, such as safe navigation for ship, topographical survey, intelligent vehicles, etc.

Vehicle dynamics control systems are complex and non-linear, so they have difficulties in developing a controller for the anti-lock braking systems and the auto-traction systems. Currently the fuzzy-logic technique to estimate the absolute vehicle speed supplies good results in normal conditions. But the estimation error in severe braking is discontented In this paper, we estimate the absolute vehicle speed of UCT(Unmanned Container Transporter) by using the wheel speed data from standard anti-lock braking system wheel speed sensors. Radial symmetric basis function of the neural network model is proposed to implement and estimate the absolute vehicle speed, and principal component analysis on input data is used 10 algorithms are verified experimentally to estimate the absolute vehicle speed and one of them is perfectly shown to estimate the vehicle speed within 4％ error during a braking maneuver.

The maritime traffic is more complex these days. It is more hard for the small fishing ships to navigated in shores. The requirements for the navigate information system to protect the sea environments and support the small fishing ships are more increased. However, the Inmarsat communication system is too burden to the fishermen with the expensive terminal and call fees. We propose the wireless digital fishing information network which use the existing MF/HF SSB communications system by connecting I-PHONE, PDA, NetBook, Notebook, PC, etc with the PSK31 method and AIS(Automatic Identification System) on the MF/HF radio Band.

In the past, the scenario of VTS simulator was made by instructor's manual operation using waypoint definition of target ship. but in this study, we use automatic scenario creation technology with AIS data and Port-MIS data. The created VTS simaulator scenario also can be modified, added, and saved by instructor's manual operation. VTS simulator display target ship on the Electronic Navigation Chart based on S-57 format. A instructor can easily open this scenario and start, pause, stop operation wirth VTS simulator. A new modification also can be applied immediately to current scenario and can be saved new scenario file. VTS simulator using this technology can create many scenarios for a specific purpose and can be easily used for various application fields.
