In this paper, we design and implement a DCS (Distributed Control System) based on dual field-bus for ship engine. For monitoring and controlling the condition of the ship engine, an implemented DCS is consisted of two-tier communication structure by using CAN (Controller Area Network) and MODBUS protocols. The first-tier is consisted of CAN protocol for sharing the condition of the ship engine by each implemented monitoring system. By using MODBUS protocol, the second-tier is used for communicating the monitoring data from an implemented DCS to AMS(Alarm Monitoring System). We verified and tested our scheme and implemented DCS by KR (Korea Register) technical rules through experimental tests.

The initial response to a marine accident can play a key role to minimize the accident. Therefore, various decision support systems have been developed using sensors, simulations, and active response equipment. In this study, we developed an algorithm to predict damage locations using ship motion data with bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), a type of recurrent neural network. To reflect the low frequency ship motion characteristics, 200 time-series data collected for 100 s were considered as input values. Heave, roll, and pitch were used as features for the prediction model. The F1-score of the BiLSTM model was 0.92; this was an improvement over the F1-score of 0.90 of a prior model. Furthermore, 53 of 75 locations of damage had an F1-score above 0.90. The model predicted the damage location with high accuracy, allowing for a quick initial response even if the ship did not have flood sensors. The model can be used as input data with high accuracy for a real-time progressive flooding simulator on board.

As a shipboard dependency for the safety and reliability becomes very important, the need for solid systems providing non-stop workload has been increased. This system is heartbeat that transmits shipboard state, audit and control information to the land. So, this paper describes a ship's LAN configuration method for the safety and reliability. In order to achieve these requirements, network, server and disk fault tolerance techniques are surveyed, and dual network configuration model, cluster server configuration method are presented and tested based on the survey.

This paper proposes the application of sensor technology to assemble ship blocks efficiently. A sensor-based monitoring system is designed and implemented to improve shipbuilding productivity by reducing the labor cost for the adjustment of adequate positioning between ship blocks during pre-erection or erection stage. For the real-time remote monitoring of relative distances between two ship blocks, sensor nodes are applied to measure the distances between corresponding target points on the blocks. Highly precise positioning data can be transferred to a monitoring server via wireless network, and analyzed to support the decision making which needs to determine the next construction process; further adjustment or seam welding between the ship blocks. The developed system is expected to put to practical use, and increase the productivity during ship blocks assembly.

The characteristics of the manoeuvring motion of a ship are dependent on the ship type, as well as draft or speed in the same ship. In recent years, the number of extra-large vessels has increased significantly, which can cause enormous material and environmental damage in the event of a marine accident. Thus, the importance of ship maneuvering is increasing. The IMO has forced the officers to be trained in simulators through the STCW 95 amendment. However, FMSS is costly and difficult to access and the PC-based simulator has the disadvantage that only one person can engage in simulation. The purpose of this study was to solve the shortcomings of the FMSS and PC-based simulators by enabling multiple people to use their PCs to simulate based on a network. The simulator is implemented through the analysis and numerical calculation of the Nomoto model, Radar function mounting, data transfer protocol design, and GUI building. To verify the simulator, the simulation results were compared and analyzed with the test results of T.S. HANBADA according to the criteria of the Korean Register of Shipping(KR) and IMO standards for ship maneuverability. As a result, It showed a relative error of 0%~ 32.1% with an average of 13.7%, and it satisfied the IMO criteria for ship maneuverability.

This paper proposes a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) based dynamic transmission scheme in a downlink multi-ship network, where a central ship selects a ship in order to maximize the utility function. The proposed scheduling scheme dynamically decides to the usage of the coordinated multi transmissions and selects a user to be served for every frame, in order to the utility function on the basis of the throughput and fairness. In particular, the proposed utilify function based scheduling scheme aims to increase the quality of service of ships at the edge of cells. Under the proportional fair scheduling, the simulation results show that the proposed utility function-based scheduling improves the throughput of the ships at the cell edge with the little sacrifice of the system capacity.

A wireless ship area network is required to configure and control various sensors and electrical instruments embedded or boarded in a ship. In such environment, wireless communication protocol adopting relaying function is needed because direct link or communication between two nodes is hardly guaranteed due to spatial constraints in a ship. In this study, we introduce and analyze a WiMedia Distributed MAC (D-MAC) based approach considering throughput and energy constraint of wireless communication module. Performance evaluation results demonstrate that the relay-based wireless communication protocol improves reliability of wireless communication network in a ship.
