The AtoN is subsidiary navigation facilities for ship to navigate safely. AtoN includes signs of visual, sound, special and radio. Receltly as GNSS and AIS are developed rapidly, AtoN has been considered as a promising candidate technique for ensuring fairway safety of ship. However, present AtoN systems are not adopted to ship fully, but are adopted to ship partly, and total management systems are not installed. In this study, AtoN Monitoring system based on AIS is developed. It consists of AIS system and AIS viewer program. In the system AIS gathers data of AtoN and ship information and AIS viewer is a program that plots AIS data on ECDIS.

AIS is a core service in the maritime safety domain. AIS Message type #6 and #8(for binary date) can be used for carrying any kind of MSI(Maritime Safety Information). The MSC(Maritime Safety Committee) approved SN/Circ. 289 on Guidance on the use of AIS Application-Specific Messages in 2010. The MSI that carried by AIS-ASM can support to reduce the maritime accidents. Since a new AIS-ASM service places an additional load on the VDL(VHF Data Link), there should be a deployment process for new AIS-ASM services. In this paper we analyze the AIS-ASM services and survey the extended functions and systems for each AIS-ASM service. We also present the survey of the statistical analysis of local AIS messages. and suggest preliminary research topics for the deployment of new AIS-ASM services. VDL monitoring system, system for detection and removal of malfunctioning AIS equipments, and value analysis process of the MSI services are required.

The dynamic information of radar and automatic identification system (AIS) for targets obtained from the traffic vessels operating in the north outer harbor and surrounding waters of Busan port, Korea. The target information was analyzed to investigate the potential collision risk resulting from the invalid true heading (HDT) information of AIS and the integration ambiguity in the graphic presentation of both tracked data sets for two systems. An integrated display system (IDS) for supporting the navigator of offshore fishing vessels was also developed to find possible maneuvering solutions for collision avoidance by comparing radar data with AIS data in real-time at sea. Consequently, the multiple functions of IDS can provide additional information that is potentially valuable for taking action to avoid the collision in offshore fishing vessels. However, the integration criteria of radar and AIS targets in the IDS must be carefully established to eliminate the fusion ambiguity in the graphic presentation of both AIS and radar symbols such as the one or two physical targets which are very close to each other.

Recently, marine accidents such as the sinking accident Mongol freighter ship and the sinking accident of Sewol ferry in Jindo continuously happen. In order to decrease the number of these marine accidents, Korean ships are obliged to follow the AIS(Automatic Identification System) system. The AIS protocol includes all information for sailing ships. However, the standard AIS protocol does not provide any security function, In addition, it is possible to hijack the standard AIS protocol in case of using a satellite communication device called FUNcuve Dongle Pro+. Therefore, this paper analyzes weak points of the security in the standard AIS protocol. Furthermore, this paper ensures reliability by marking the MAC Address of sender and receiver for secure communication and suggests the protocol that can securely send data, using the VPN Tunnelling method. Therefore, the suggested AIS protocol provides the secure communication to the AIS protocol and protect the messages in the AIS protocol, which can serve safe voyages by decreasing the marine accidents.

AIS(Automatic Identification System) is a key of maritime information system to prevent maritime accident through communication among any adjacent ship and to establish information base by fusing information collected from ships with other information. The AIS information includes various potential information, but it is not easy to use due to insufficiency storing and management. Furthermore, we need AIS transponders to acquire the information. In this paper, we propose the vessel positional information service using AIS and XML. We decode the AIS information from the NMEA-0183 encoding data and store the AIS information to the database and provide the access service in the internet using XML.

AIS ship position transmitted from ships has been used position data generated by GPS, whose range of error is approximately 30nm. However, precision enhancement of the ship's position could be possible using DGPS correction information. More precise and accurate AIS ship position could be obtained broadcasting DGNSS Message(AIS Message 17) from ships without high-priced DGPS Beacon Receivers.

The AIS(Automatic Identification System) has been widely used for ship safety at sea over the last 10 years. The AIS traffic load at VDL(VHF Data Link) has been continuously increased. As the traffic load at VDL increases, the quality of AIS service may be deteriorated. In the previous research, the AIS traffic has been analyzed in the major ports of Korea, and its problem due to traffic overload has been suggested. However, no solutions has been given so far. In this paper, the method of autimatically controlling the VDL traffic at AIS base station is represented.

This paper presents a method for detecting faults in data obtained from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) of surface vessels. The data include latitude, longitude, Speed Over Ground (SOG), and Course Over Ground (COG). We derive two methods that utilize two models: a constant state model and a derivative augmented model. The constant state model incorporates noise variables to account for state changes, while the derivative augmented model employs explicit variables such as first or second derivatives, to model dynamic changes in state. Generally, the derivative augmented model detects faults more promptly than the constant state model, although it is vulnerable to potentially overlooking faults. The effectiveness of this method is validated using AIS data collected at a harbor. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can automatically detect faults in AIS data, thus offering partial assistance for enhancing navigation safety.
