This paper describes Three-Dimensional Listening Simulation System (3D-LSS) which is to analyze whistle sound related marine casualties, and is to evaluate the accident situations using 3D sound by Head Related Transfer Function. At first, the three-dimensional listening model from the analysis of accident situations is proposed, and then the reproduction and evaluation methods of 3D sounds are also discussed. The system is designed to explain the accident situations and to simulate the possible situations with GUI based graphics and 3D sound reproduction. The evaluation experiments using 3D-LSS are carried out with six cases that did not known whether it is true or not the blast and listening of the whistle sound between two vessels. As results of psychological assessments by five subjects, the six cases can be analyzed clearly by visual images and audio sounds, thus the usability of 3D-LSS as one of the judgment assistant system of marine casualty is verified.

In this study, safety management procedures were developed based on domestic and foreign guidelines and related maritime law to ensure the safe development and implementation of smart autonomous ship technology and Samsung Heavy Industry. The safety management procedure was developed according to the guidelines for (MASS) sea trials (MSC.1/Circ.1604, Annex: Interim guidelines for MASS trials), proposed by International Maritime Organization (IMO) for the relevant authorities and stakeholders of MASS to properly conduct tests of systems and infrastructure related to safety and environmental protection. The developed safety management procedure applies to the maritime demonstration test of a system applying autonomous navigation element technology mounted as a navigation aid on a ship operating under a watch system, while complying with the environmental protection and navigation safety of the coast of Korea.

The present study aims to improve the accuracy of the maneuvering simulations based on captive model test results. To derive the hydrodynamic coefficients in a self-propelled condition, a mathematical maneuvering model using a whole vehicle model was established. Captive model tests were carried out using the Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) equipment. A motor controller was used to control the constant propeller revolution rate during pure motion tests. The resistance tests, self-propulsion tests, static drift tests, and VPMM tests were performed in the towing tank of Seoul National University. When the vertical drift angle changes, the gravity load on the sensors were changed. The hydrodynamic forces were deduced by subtracting the gravity load from the measured forces. The hydrodynamic coefficients were calculated using the least-square method. The simulation of the turning circle test was compared with the free-running model test result, and the error of the turning radius was 8.3 % compared to the free-running model test.

The safety of marine construction workers and marine pollution problems are occurring due to large-scale offshore construction. In particular, underwater construction work in the sea has a higher risk than other work, so it is necessary to apply an unmanned alternative system that considers the safety of the workers. In this paper, the ROV system for offshore construction has been developed for underwater unmanned work. A monitoring system was developed for position control through the control of underwater propellants, pneumatic gripper, and monitoring of underwater work. As a result of the performance evaluation, the underwater movement speed of the ROV was evaluated to be 0.89 m/s, and it was confirmed that the maximum load of the pneumatic gripper was 80 kg. In addition, the network bandwidth required for underwater ROV control and underwater video streaming was evaluated to be more than 300Mbps, wired communication at 92.7 ~ 95.0Mbit/s at 205m, and wireless communication at 78.3 ~ 84.8Mbit/s.

The electro-magnetic wave propagates through the air in the terrestrial communications, but the acoustic wave propagates through the seawater in the underwater acoustic communication(UAC). It makes the differences between the UAC link and the well hon air communication links. In this paper, we have studied path loss, absorption and ambient noise of the ocean as a medium for UAC. We have analyzed the absorption coefficient and ambient noise level of the coastal area of South Korea and suggested a strategy for the selection of the frequency band by considering the absorption coefficient and ambient noise level. Also, we present an illustrative example of a link budget for the QPSK UAC system which has carrier frequency 25kHz, bit rate 10kbps, range 1km and BER $10^{-3}$ in the shallow water environment with an ideal AWGN assumption.

We analyzed risk factors of coastal gillnet fishers during fishing process and considered work safety measures to reduce safety accidents during fishing using a UWB (ultra wideband) based positioning system. The static position accuracy of the UWB based positioning system was 45 cm. When entering a port, there is a risk of falling overboard. When casting a net, there was a risk of falling overboard due to being hit by fishing gear or guards, or getting caught in a buoy line or sinker line. When hauling a net, there is a risk of getting caught between fishing gear and net hauler, and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to repetitive work over a long period of time. Most safety accidents during work on fishing boats are blamed on human errors of the fisher and skipper, but safety accidents occur due to a mixture of mechanical and equipment factors, work and environmental factors, and management factors in addition to human errors. Therefore, the 4E were presented as countermeasures against the 4M, which are causes of safety accidents, and the proposed measures were used to identify risk factors for operation process, comply with work safety rules, and ensure the wearing of personal protective equipments. We need to reduce safety accidents during work by making it part of our daily routine. These research results can be used in the future for optimal placement of fishing gear and fishing nets in other coastal industries where safety accidents occur frequently.

This paper contributes to the development of an early detection system to detect the alteration of a target ship during early stages using the steering wheel signal via AIS communication. The feasibility of this system is also verified with a real ship trial. It was confirmed that the rudder angle on ECDIS was ordinarily marked green or red by the used rudder angle after the steering wheel operation. We were able to detect intentions for a change in course by a target ship quickly and efficiently avoid collisions. This system will contribute to more active VTS services and the analysis of marine accidents using the General Information Center On Maritime Safety & Security (GICOMS).

In this paper, we built a data-driven artificial intelligence model using RNN-LSTM (Recurrent Neural Networks-Long Short-Term Memory) to predict the Lorenz system, and examined the possibility of whether this model can replace chaotic dynamic models. We confirmed that the data-driven model reflects the chaotic nature of the Lorenz system, where a small error in the initial conditions produces fundamentally different results, and the system moves around two stable poles, repeating the transition process, the characteristic of "deterministic non-periodic flow", and simulates the bifurcation phenomenon. We also demonstrated the advantage of adjusting integration time intervals to reduce computational resources in data-driven models. Thus, we anticipate expanding the applicability of data-driven artificial intelligence models through future research on refining data-driven models and data assimilation techniques for data-driven models.
