This study proposes marine traffic volume estimation method considering ship speed, a factor excluded from the existing method. Ten days of GICOMS marine traffic data from Pyeongtaek and Dangjin ports was applied to this study. As a result, converted traffic volume with the proposed estimation method showed an increase of 4.41 (${\pm}0.99$) times or decrease of 0.59 (${\pm}0.04$) at most, compared with the existing estimation method. Average marine traffic congestion for each time applying the proposed estimation method showed an increase of 1.43 (${\pm}0.10$) compared with the existing estimation method. The maximum marine traffic congestion for each time was 1.62 (${\pm}0.34$) times higher compared with the existing estimation method. Marine traffic peak time, defined as the highest point of marine traffic congestion, was evaluated to be different from that of the existing method because of distribution of vessel speed. In conclusion, considering ship speed is necessary when estimating marine traffic volume to produce a practical estimate of marine traffic capacity.

The marine traffic congestion has increased due to the expansion of vessel traffic volume in Korean coastal waterway these days. Heavy traffic could bring serious marine casualties which cause the loss of human lives, properties and marine pollution in coastal area. In this paper. the probability analysis of marine casualties in Korean coastal To achieve this aim, clears up the cause of accident and examines closely the mutual relations among marine casualties, weather condition, and marine traffic volume. These casualties are classified into several pattens or the point of view of ship‘s size, ship’s type and ship‘s age and its characteristics of each patten are described in detail.

항행하는 선박은 자기선박 주변을 하나의 영역으로 생각하여 그 영역안에 타선박의 허가하지 않는 자기만의 영역을 가지고 있다. 지금까지 우리나라에서는 선박간의 항과거리를 일본의 자료를 이용하여 해상교통 환경평가의 하나인 해상교통혼잡도를 평가하고 있다. 이 일본의 자료는 30년전의 자료이며 선박의 고속화${\cdot}$대형화로 인하여 선박간 항과거리는 선박의 통항형태, 항로의 종류, 선박의 크기에 따라 상이할 것으로 사료된다. 하지만, 상기의 모든 요소를 다 가미하여 일반화한 연구는 찾아보기 힘들며 상당한 자료를 이용하여야 하므로 분석하는데 시간이 많이 걸릴 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구에서는 해상교통량이 대단히 높은 중국 상해항을 입출항하는 선박간의 항행거리를 기초로 선박간의 최소 항과거리를 모델화함으로써 우리나라 실정에 맞는 해상교통혼잡도 평가에 이용하고자 하며, 선박운항자들의 항행에 최소 항과거리를 제공함으로써 안전항행에 도움을 주고자 한다.

To prevent serious maritime accident and eliminate the cause of the potential maritime accidents, Maritime Safety Audit Scheme was formally institutionalized through amendment of Maritime Traffic Safety Act(May 27, '09). At the initial step of the enforcement of the law, it has risen the necessity of amending the present institution concerning with the range of applicable business, method of practice, detailed technical standards in the assessment articles, etc. Among them, the assessment of marine traffic congestion has been practiced as a mandatory assessment article, but it is analyzed that the assessment doesn't reflect current variation of ships' size and its speed. By analyzing the status of assessments on marine traffic congestion so far and collecting experts' opinion, this paper suggests draft amendments to improve technical standards on the assessment of marine traffic congestion.

Rapid increase of maritime traffic volume and the increase of vessel size make it indispensible for the fairway designer to estimate the traffic capacity of a fairway at its early design stage. In this paper, as one of the methods to estimate the maritime traffic capacity of a fairway, operating rate of a fairway is defined and reviewed together with its basic characteristics, which is a brief estimation model based on bumper model around a ship. The method is applied to the approach channels of major harbors in Korea to give some guidelines on the acceptable traffic capacity of a fairway. In spite of its simplicity, this method can be used as an effective tool to discriminate whether the principal dimension of a fairway is enough or not from the viewpoint of maritime traffic capacity at its initial design stage.

Traffic risks in fairway and harbour area increase lately according to be a sharpe change of ship's size and speed. It becomes hot issue to design a fairway, which's width is important to lower traffic risk and ensure navigational safety. The current design making a fairway and width do not focus on maneuvering motion of a large ship, but traffic risks are clear on reflecting the design of fairway, specially on width. To contact with these problems, this research proposes how to determine fairway' width in consideration of traffic volume. it suggests several situations of marine traffic congestion as like narrow channel and harbour area. here uses 162 simulations in MTS Ver.1 developed. Acquired simulation's results, environmental stress dates, figure in a model that relates with required fairway' width and allowable traffic volume. In added, suggested model compares current design with an width.

Route Design & TSS(Traffic Separation Scheme} establishment are often used to improve the maritime traffic safety in the heavily congested traffic area. There are several domestic and international route design guidelines, but there is no guideline of TSS design As a result, TSS is usually designed based on the subjective opinions of professionals in this field. Until now, there exist a few papers dealing with the effects of TSS on the reduction of maritime accidents, however, it is hard to find a paper on the design guidelines of TSS. In this paper, TSS design guidelines are proposed based on the quantitative assessment of navigational difficulty felt by mariners, which is expected to improve navigational safety of vessels in congested area.

Route Design & TSS(Traffic Separation Scheme) establishment are often used to improve the marine traffic safety in the heavy waters. There are several domestic and international route design guidelines, but there is no guideline of TSS design. So, TSS is designed by specialist's subjective opinion. Until now, when TSS is designed there are a few paper about the easiness effectiveness of marine accident, but there is no paper to design TSS guideline. This paper proposes the design guideline about TSS to improve the safety of navigation vessel by the quantitative assessment in the viewpoint of mariner.

Traffic routes typically have heavy traffic. Especially, the entrance of the route has a high risk of accidents occurring because of ships entering and exiting the port. However, almost of studies have focused on the distribution of traffic on the route. Thus, studies on the distribution between ships for passing through the route are insufficient. The purpose of this study was to analysis the traffic in the Busan north port No.1 route for one week. Based on present traffic conditions, one gate line was settled on the route with an analysis of traffic conditions. Based on the analysis data, each optimal time probability distribution between ships was divided into inbound/outbound and traffic volume. An analysis of the optimal probability distribution, was applied to 31 probability distributions divided into bounded, unbounded, non-negative, and advanced probability distribution. The KS test was applied for identifying three major optimal time probability distributions. According to the KS test results, the Wakeby distribution is the best optimal time probability distribution on the designated route. Although the optimal time probability distribution for other transportation studies such as on vehicles on highways is a non-negative probability distribution, this distribution is an advanced probability distribution. Thus, the application of major probability distribution for using other transportation studies is not applicable to this study Additionally, the distance between ships in actual traffic surveys and the distance estimated by the optimal probability distribution were compared. As a result of the comparison, those distances were fairly similar. However, this study was conducted in only one major port. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the time between ships and calculate a traffic volume on varying routes in future studies.
