선박관제용 VTS시스템은 레이더, 선박자동식별장치(AIS) 등을 이용하여 정보를 수집하여 관제정보가 필요한 선박국에게 초단파무선통신(VHF)를 통하여 전달한다. 레이더와 선박자동식별장치(AIS) 등은 장비를 이중화하여 안정적인 운영을 할 수 있지만, 관제장비에서 가장 중요한 역할을 담당하는 초단파무선통신(VHF)는 장비만을 이중화하는 것으로 부족한 이유는 바로 주로 선박국이나 육상국에서 일어나고 있는 KEYING현상 때문이다. 최근 제주, 목포, 완도, 여수연안 VTS 등에서 동시 발생한 VHF KEYING 현상을 분석하여 효율적인 대응 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, authors introduce about Wide Range Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) system using Automatic Identification System (AIS). In order to develop the prototype of Wide Range VIS system, Korean satellite is used for data communication system for AIS. In this system, ship position obtained by using GPS is reported automatically to VTS center through Korean satellite. By using this system, VTS center can cover more wide area than the case using radar only. And the uncertainty of information is decrease. The results of test show the good possibility of VTS using satellite and AIS.

The Angle-of-Arrival (AOA) estimation in real time is one of core technologies for the real-time tracking system, such as a radar or a satellite. Although AOA estimation algorithms for various antenna types have been studied, most of them are for the single-shaped array antenna suitable to the specific frequency. In this paper, we propose the cascade AOA estimation algorithm for the combined array antenna with Uniform Rectangular Frame Array (URFA) and Uniform Circular Array (UCA), with the excellent performance for various frequencies. The proposed technique is consisted of Capon for roughly finding AOA groups with multiple signal AOAs and Beamspace Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) for estimating the detailed signal AOA in the AOA group, for the combined array antenna. In addition, we provide computer simulation results for verifying the estimation performance of the proposed algorithm.

최근 해상교통관제시스템(VTS : Vessel Traffic Service)은 항행지원정보교류가 가능한 육상국으로서 선박 통항의 안전과 효율성을 증진시키고 환경을 보호하는 e-Navigation의 핵심적 시스템으로 역할이 기대되고 있다. 최근 IALA를 통하여 국제적으로 데이터 공유를 위한 구조에 대한 연구와 표준 포맷이 정해지고 있으며 IVEF(IVEF:Inter-VTS Data Exchange Format)는 이중의 한 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 실시간의 트래픽 정보는 국가적으로 보안에 민감한 요소이나 현 규격에 정해진 보안성에 대한 규정은 다소 정해진 바 없이, 연동하기 위한 보안 규격을 다시 설계하여 상호 추진하고 연동시험을 수행해야 될 수준이다. 또한 Radar에 대한 물표 자체의 전달은 현재 고려하고 있지 않기 때문에 Track되지 않은 물표는 불필요한 많은 속성들을 같이 전송해야 하며, 레이더 물표에 대한 별도의 정해진 속성은 없는 상태여서 기존의 선박의 길이를 기반으로 비율을 고려하여 다시 재 산출되어야 가능하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 데이터 공유를 위한 IVEF의 규격을 검토하고 이를 보완하는 내용을 고려하여 새로운 프로토콜 및 방안을 제시한다. 이러한 구조는 VTS 시스템에서 적용 가능한 방안인지를 확인하여, 실제 적용할 수 있는 기술개발로서 방향을 정립하고자 한다.

The Navigational System is the Fundamental System of Port Transportation System and comprises 3 Subsystems, say, the Waterway System, the Shiphandling System and the Support System. The Waterway System of Navigational System is the important and fundamental System for Traffic Safety inside the Port like a Car Road System on Land. This study aims to make a Guideline for the Optimal Waterway System of Port Development and Safety. The Conclusion of this Paper are drawn : 1) The complicated Shiphandling Operations should be avoided for the period of Physical night Time for eliminating the Human Errors. 2) For the Maneuverability and all-weather Combined Piloting the Inside Turn Point Buoy and Begin the-turn Buoy should be mounted with Racon(T) and Radar Reflector for foggy and bad weathers. 3) The Seabuoy located in the Approaching Area for Pilot Station and making Landfall should be mounted with Racon(G) and Morese A Light for giving a Hint of Pilot Station to the Captain on the Bridge, and these Equipments of Racon and Light should be operated normally and effectively even in a Heavy and stormy weathers. 4) A Basic Practical Expression, 1/2 L sin D, for calculating the Extra Width of Cutoff Turn Regions was derived Originally from the Viewpoint of Turn Maneuvers and Maneuverability of the Ship.

As a part of closed-loop guidance law studies for anti-ballistic missile defense, a mid-course guidance law is proposed to engage the target with the predetermined attitude for increased terminal effectiveness. The proposed guidance law is based on the predicted target position calculated from a simplified solution of target motion and the estimates of an extended Kalman filter utilizing noisy nonlinear radar measurements. Extension of the proposed mid-course guidance to 3 dimensional engagements are also studied. Performance of the proposed mid-course guidance law together with a terminal guidance law in the form of conventional proportional navigation guidance is evaluated by a series of simulation studies.

The tracking system plays a key role in accurate estimation and prediction of maneuvering vessel's position and velocity in a bid to enhance safety by taking avoiding action against collision. Therefore, in order to achieve this, many ocean- going vessels are equipped with radar and the ARPA system. However, the accuracy of prediction highly depends on the choice of the gain parameters, ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$ employed in the tracking filter. P revious research of this paper was based on theoretically developing an algorithm for a tracking module. This research paper is hence a continuation by the authors to determine the optimal values of the gain parameters used in the tracking module. A tracking algorithm is developed using the ${\alpha}-{\beta}-{\gamma}$ filter to carry out prediction and smoothing of the positions and velocities. Numerical simulations are then performed to evaluate the optimal values of the smoothing parameters that will improve the performance of the tracking module and reduce measurement noise. The twice distance root mean square (2drms) is then calculated to determine error variation.

GPS, ARPA, AIS, NAVTEX, VHF as modern aids-to-navigation equipments improve the safe navigation and help to reach a reduction in marine accidents by providing images, numeric values, texts, audio-based information for mates, However, we also noticed that it's complicate and difficult for a mate to acquire and analyze such information from these devices while he should devote himself to bridge watchkeeping especially in the urgent situation. Language is another way to get information and free the eyes and hands, so, to solve the problem above, we are trying to propose a new aids-to-navigation system, which can understand and merge multimedia marine safety information, analyze the situation and provide the necessary information in language. In this paper, we try to fuse data of ARPA/AIS using Euclidean distance for providing integrated information.
