This paper is the study of BNWAS based on TLC. The functionality of BNWAS and its operations are investigated through its international standard. But the BNWAS to be used currently in the ship have difficulty in monitoring. Several kinds of data are generated from many equipments in BNWAS, such as NMEA-0183 data or NMEA-2000. Although these data are mainly used for the safe navigation of ship, their usability may be enhanced if they are managed to control the BNWAS equipment with sensors. The purpose of this system is prevent the marine accidents on sailing voyages due to drowsiness of watchers. On Night sailing, watcher is collected the navigation information from multiple devices and he determines the safe operation of the ship through continuous monitoring.

The functionality of BNWAS and its operations are investigated through its international standard. But the BNWAS is being used currently in the ship had difficulty in monitoring. Several kinds of data are generated from many equipments in BNWAS, such as NMEA-0183 data or NMEA-2000. In this paper, we have proposed a method of the multimedia data transmission using a communication protocol based on slower NMEA-0183, which is mainly used in BNWAS. Data compression techniques are needed for smooth streaming services of the multimedia data in the low data rate over the NMEA-0183 interface. Although these data are mainly used for the instruments of ship, their efficient transmission may be needed if they are managed to control the BNWAS equipment with sensors.

This paper presents a stable real-time based FlexRay technology which is employed with a standard protocol of the marine electronic equipments and the bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS). The traditional marine communications use NMEA communication protocols, and RS-232 and RS-422 techniques in the BNWAS, thus there are difficulty in seeking stability and reliability. To overcome such problems we utilize the FlexRay protocol technique to prevent data loss or error.

A Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (hereafter 'BNWAS') is to monitor and detect if an officer of watch(hereafter 'OOW') keeps a sharp lookout on the bridge. The careless lookout of an OOW could lead to marine accidents. For this reason on June 5th, 2009, IMO decided that a ship is equipped with a BNWAS. However, an existing BNWAS gives the OOW a lot of inconvenience and stress in its operation. It requires that the OOW should press reset buttons to confirm their alert watch on the bridge at every three to twelve minute. Many OOWs have complained that at some circumstances they cannot focus on their bridge activities including watch-keeping due to a lots of resetting inputs of BNWAS. Accordingly, IMO has allowed the use of a motion sensor as a resetting device. The motion sensor detects the movements of human body on the bridge and subsequently sends reset signals directly to BNWAS automatically. As a result, OOWs can work uninterrupted. However, some of classification societies and flag authorities have a slightly different stance on the use of motion sensor as a resetting method for BNWAS. The reason is that the motion sensor may trigger false reset signals caused by the motion of objects on the bridge, especially a slight movement such as toss and turn of human body which can extend the period of careless watch. As a basic study to minimize the false reset signals, this paper proposes a simple configuration of BNWAS, which consists of only three motion sensors associated with 'AND' and 'OR' logic gates. Additionally, several considerations are also proposed for the implementation of motion sensors. This study found that the proposed configuration which consists of three motion sensors is better than an existing one by reducing false reset signals caused by a slight movement of human body in one's sleep. The proposed configuration in this paper filters false reset signals and is simple to be implemented on existing vessels. In addition, it can be easily installed just by a basic electrical knowledge.

Due to the simplicity of communication structure using RS-232 and RS-422, the majority ships have still adapted on these communication interfaces and have constructed their own communication network in the ship. NMEA-0183 is the one of standards for BNWAS(Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System) and currently being used in many countries. BNWAS utilises diverse sensor devices, GPS, AIS and so on for monitoring the status of ships and their deployments and environmental information(temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, water temperature/current etc…). This paper proposes the use of any image sensors in NMEA-0183 environment and verifies possibility with certain video qualities through the experiment results. Furthermore the paper gathers videos and monitors the change of their qualities depending on the number of NMEA messages on RS-232 communication link. Finally we make conclusion that our proposal is sufficiently appropriate for ship monitoring system in the NMEA-0183.

최근 선박 및 해상 물류 자동화는 물류증대와 복잡한 선박의 운용에 비하여 근무조건이 상대적으로 열악한 형편이다. 때문에 과도한 선원의 업무량으로 인하여 IMO(International Maritime Organization, 국제해사기구)에서는 선박이 운항함에 있어 해상에서 발생 할 수 있는 모든 사고(인명, 해상오염, 선박의 손실)를 미연에 예방할 수 있는 최소한의 장비로 선교항해 당지경보시스템 (BNWAS)을 모든 여객선과 국제항을 운항하는 150GT 이상의 모든 선박에 탑재하도록 하고 있다. 본 논문은 선교항해 당지경보시스템의 Alarm 상태를 원격에서 관리할 수 있는 서버 관리 프로그램을 개발하여 적절한 조치를 할 수 있는 지능형 선교항해 당지경보시스템을 제시하고자 한다.

With the development of various IT technologies, data generated in the ship can be controlled through CAN communication, autonomous operation, and information provision in various situation. In addition, electronic navigation vessels with various functions have emerged, and navigation and communication equipment used in these vessels are mainly following the NMEA standard. Currently, NMEA-0183 is still mainly used, but more efficient multimedia transmission processing method is needed for multimedia transmission and USN equipment compatible using NMEA-2000 standard. Furthermore, Ethernet-based ship control is required. However, this paper proposes a multimedia transmission scheme to be smoothly linked with existing ship devices by utilizing CAN communication that can be easily used in the ship.
