Human errors have known as a majority of maritime navigational accidents such as collision and grounding. A large number of relevant research applied indirect research methods such as survey and interview. The research methods are limited to collect objective data regarding human errors due to its nature. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve the limitation of human error measurement of navigators by applying wearable sensors. Infrared sensors by using a 3-D printer to accommodate the special environment of a ship were developed for the study. As results, a significant reliance on the Integrated Navigation System including Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) and Radar. The results are expected to motivate further research to investigate human errors of ship navigators to reduce the maritime navigational accidents.

In recent years, the maritime industry system including port facilities, VTS(Vessel traffic service) is rapidly evolving with the development of technology. The connection between systems has been greatly expanded, and many research cases using this connectivity have been reported. This paper deals with the structural design of the arrival/departure support system for an autonomous ship. The system requires navigation data from the autonomous ship and radar/AIS data from the port. In this paper, design result on how the arrival/departure support system interacts with the autonomous ship and port system are addressed.

In recent years, there has been renewed activity in the study of local plasma density enhancements in the low latitude F region ionosphere (low latitude plasma blobs). Satellite, all-sky airglow imager, and radar measurements have identified the characteristics of these blobs, and their coupling to Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs). New information related to blobs has also been obtained from the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS) satellite. In this paper, we briefly review experimental, theoretical and modeling studies related to low latitude plasma blobs.

The purpose of this paper is to find the relations between the virtual reality created by the ship´s bridge simulator (simulator) at Radar Navigation Experiment and Research Facility in Kobe University of Mercantile Marine (KUMM) and the observer´s response to it. In short, we analyze the observer´s heart rate variability (R-R interval) in navigational condition seasick impression by simulator occurred, and present the R-R Interval and the stress of observer with SNS and PNS calculated by STFT. In this experiment, rolling of the ship was simulated and presented to the observer. Rolling was simulated only visually not physically or mechanically while the balancing movement and heart beat of the observer were measured and processed to produce the measures for body response to the artificially created visual environment. The results show that even a ...

민항기나 군용항공기의 경우 대부분 항행 안전성을 확보하기 위해 다양한 기능을 수행하는 레이다가 부착되어 있으나, 소형항공기 및 저가의 헬기의 경우 무게, 비용 등의 제약으로 항행 안전을 확보할 수 있는 레이다가 장착되어 있지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 민항기 및 군용 항공기뿐만이 아니라 헬기 및 소형항공기에 장착하여 충돌감지, 이착륙보조, 기상관측 등의 기능을 수행할 수 있는 레이다로 35GHz 밀리미터 대역의 항공기 탑재형 레이다의 적용에 대한 제반 요건과 필요성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 그리고 제안된 레이다를 이용하면, 저속 항공기 및 헬기에서는 치명적인 사고를 유발시킬 수 있는 전력선 탐지가 가능함을 확인함으로써, 제안된 레이다가 항행 안전성을 높일 수 있음을 보임으로써 밀리미터 대역 레이다의 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Recently, the interests of the precise localization are rapidly increasing, which are linked to IoT(Internet of Things) sensors. The precise localization in indoor environment can be utilized in navigation, security, anti-collision, and various location based services etc. However, conventional positioning sensors, such as PIR, ultrasonic, microwave etc. are vulnerable to weather or insensitive to direction of subject movement or low precision performance. In this paper we implement a UWB-IR localization system for long distance and high-precision localization, which is not affected by temperature, light and weather. The proposed system was divided and designed by H/W, Antenna, S/W parts, each of which was designed based on an accurate analysis and simulation. As a result, we can implemented and verified UWB IR system with precise localization performance.

선교에서 항해자는 견시를 통해 선박의 주위 상황을 인지하고, RADAR나 ECDIS와 갈은 항해 장비의 정보를 동시에 파악하면서 운항해야한다. 이렇게 복잡한 정보 제공 환경에서는 상황 인지에 대한 인적과실이 발생할 가능성이 크기 때문에 보다 효율적인 항행정보 제공 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 항해장비가 제공하는 다양한 정보들을 외부 영상에 중첩하여 전시할 수 있는 증강현실 기반 항해지원 시스템의 항행정보 정함 기술을 개방하고, 이를 선박운항 시뮬레이터 환경에서 검증하는 연구를 수행 하였다. 본 시스템은 항해장비로부터 항행정보를 획득한 후, 이 정보를 카메라를 통해 입력되는 영상과 중첩하여 항해사에게 제공하며, 효과적인 중첩처리를 위하여 상용 그래픽스 엔진인 Unity3D를 사용 하였다. 또한, 시뮬레이터 실험 결과 선박의 움직임에도 정확하게 정합되는 것을 확인하였으며, 개발원 기술은 향후 실제 선교환경에서 활용될 수 있는 증강현실 기반의 항행정보 지원 시스템에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

TERCOM(TERrain COntour Matching), which is the one of the Terrain Referenced Navigation and used in the cruise missile navigation system, is still under development. In this study, the TERCOM based on area-based matching algorithm and extended Kalman filter is analysed through simulation. In area-based matching, the mean square difference (MSD) and cross-correlation matching algorithms are applied. The simulation supposes that the barometric altimeter, radar altimeter and SRTM DTM loaded on board. Also, it navigates along the square track for 545 seconds with the velocity of 1000km per hour. The MSD and cross-correlation matching algorithms show the standard deviation of position error of 99.6m and 34.3m, respectively. The correlation matching algorithm is appeared to be less sensitive than the MSD algorithm to the topographic undulation and the position accuracy of the both algorithms is extremely depends on the terrain. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an algorithm that is more sensitive to less terrain undulation for reliable terrain referenced navigation. Furthermore, studies on the determination of proper matching window size in long-term flight and the determination of the best terrain database resolution needed by the flight velocity and area should be conducted.

As marine accidents happen frequently, it is required to establish a marine traffic monitoring system, which is designed to improve the safety and efficiency of navigation in VTS (Vessel Traffic Service). For this aim, recently, X-band marine radar is used for extracting the sea surface information and, it is necessary to retrieve wave information correctly and provide for the safe and efficient movement of vessel traffic within the VTS area. In this paper, three different current estimation algorithms including the classical least-squares (LS) fitting, a modified iterative least-square fitting routine and a normalized scalar product of variable current velocities are compared with buoy data and then, the iterative least-square method is modified to estimate wave information by improving the initial current velocity. Through several simulations with radar signals, it is shown that the proposed method is effective in retrieving the wave information compared to the conventional methods.
