In China, the traditional method of artificial and periodical cruise is still adopted for the AtoN management, which has brought many disadvantages to the work of the AtoN management, such as non real-time, fallibility, and low efficiency However, with the rapid development of AIS technique, now AIS equipments have been widely installed on ships, and on the other hand China Maritime Safety Administration (abr. China MSA) is carrying out the scheme of AIS base station network in china, based on which the digital AtoN will develop in the future. According to what have been analyzed above, this paper puts forward a design of AtoN wireless surveillance system based on AIS. The system consists of AIS on AtoN, AIS base station and AtoN management center. It can provide such functions as the information gathering, managing of AtoN and the service of navigation assistance. This paper gives the whole design including the work theory, the hardware structure and the software scheme of the system, and finally gives the simulation software of the AtoN management center. The AtoN wireless surveillance system brought forward by this paper will be more efficient with less repair cost and less work of the supervisors. It will bring revolutionary progress in the navigation aids system in China.

이 논문에서는 가상현실 기법을 적용한 항로표지 훈련장치로서, 프로토 타입의 항로표지 시뮬레이션 시스템(AtoNSiS) 개발에 관하여 기술하였다. 항로표지에 대한 시뮬레이션 경험을 향상하기 위하여 3차원으로 측방표지와 방위표지를 제작한 후, IALA-B 방식에 의거한 가상의 3차원 항로를 구축하였다. 이 연구에서 개발한 AtoNSiS는 시뮬레이션 모듈(SM)과 설명 모듈(EM)로 구성하였는데, SM은 다양한 해상환경 변화가 가능한 가상의 항해 공간을 사용하여 IALA-B 시스템을 학습하기 위한 기능을 갖는다. EM은 생성한 3차원 측방 및 방위표지를 이용하여 각 표지들의 상세한 특성을 학습하기 위한 기능을 갖는다. 이러한 AtoNSiS에 대한 설계개념과 개발과정 및 시뮬레이션 실험 등을 나타냈다. 5명의 시청자를 대상으로 실험한 결과 AtoNSiS가 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper describes recently developed PC based Aids to Navigation Training Simulator (AtoN-TS) using Virtual Reality Modeling language (VRML). The purpose of AtoN-TS is to train entry-level cadets to reduce the amount of sea-time training. The practical application procedure of VR technology to implement AtoN-TS is represented. The construction method of virtual waterway world, according to the guidelines of International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) is proposed. Design concepts and simulation experiments are also discussed. Results from trial tests and evaluations by subject assessment, provide practical insight on the importance of AtoN-TS.

3D visualization of navigation simulation is to visualize the environment conditions (e.g. nearby ships, dynamic characteristics, environment, terrain, etc) for any users on ships at sea. Realistic 3D visualization enables the users to be immersed to it and guarantees the reliability of the simulation. In particular, terrain visualization contains many virtual objects, so it is time and cost-intensive for object modelling. This paper proposes a 3D terrain visualization method that can be realized in a short time and with low cost by using the Unity 3D development tool. The 3D terrain visualization system requires bathymetric and elevation terrains, and Aids to Navigations (AtoNs) to be realized. It also needs to include 3D visualization objects including bridges, buildings and port facilities for more accurate simulation. Bathymetric and AtoN elements are acquired from ENC, and the elevation element is acquired from SRTM v4.1 digital elevation chart database developed by NASA. Then, the bathymetric and elevation terrains are generated, and the satellite images are superposed by using this terrain information. The longitudinal and latitudinal information of the AtoNs are converted to the 3-axis information to position the AtoN locations. The 3D objects such as bridges, buildings and port facilities are generated and the terrain visualization is completed. The proposed method realizes more realistic 3D terrain visualization of Busan Port.

유도표지의 일종인 도등과 지향등은 고정된 위치에서 안전한 입항침로를 시각적인 방법으로 제공해주기 때문에 항해자가 전방을 주시하면서 시야를 빼앗기지 않고 자연스럽게 이용할 수 있어 심리적 안점감을 주는 매우 효과적인 항로표지이다. 부산항 북항은 부산항북항재개발사업 D-1 블록 신축공사 계획에 따른 부산북항도등 맹목구간 해소를 위해 지향등을 설치가 필요하고, 부산항 신항은 토도 제거로 선박 통항여건이 바뀌어 항로표지 정비가 필요하여 지향등 설치를 위해 기본설계를 하였다. 또한, 기본설계 결과를 항로표지 시뮬레이션과 비교하여 검증을 하였다. 이 연구는 향후 우리나라 항만에서 선박 안전유도를 위해 지향등을 설치하는데 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

As demands for the maritime communications increase, a variety of functions and information are required to exchange via elements of maritime systems, which leads communication traffic increases in maritime frequency bands, especially in VHF (Very High Frequency) band. Thus, effective resource management is crucial to the future maritime communication systems not only to the typical terrestrial communication systems. VHF data exchange system (VDES) enables to utilize more flexible configuration according to the communication condition. This paper focuses on the VDES communication system among VDES terminals such as shore stations, ship stations and aids to navigation (AtoN) to address efficient resource allocation. We propose a resource management method considering a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technique in VDES, which has been widely used for modern terrestrial wireless networks but not for marine environments by scheduling the essential communication resources. We introduce the general channel model in marine environment and give two metrics, spectral and the energy efficiencies to examine our resource scheduling algorithm. Based on the simulation results and analysis, the proposed method provides a possibility to enhance spectral and energy efficiencies. Additionally, we present a trade-off relationship between spectral and energy efficiencies. Furthermore, we examine the resource efficiencies related to the imperfect channel estimation.
