자율운항제어 시스템은 선박운항에 있어 항해계획을 수립하고 현재의 선박운항 상태를 파악하여 선박을 제어하는 항해 전문가 시스템이다. 이러한 자율운항제어 시스템을 테스트하기 위해서는 실제 선박을 대상으로 성능을 테스트하여야하나, 선박은 고가의 운송수단이고, 자율운항제어 시스템을 장착하기 위한 하부장치 인터페이스를 설계 및 구현하기에는 많은 시간이 소요되므로 선박시뮬레이션 시스템을 이용하는 것이 타당하다. 선박시뮬레이션 시스템은 선박의 물리적 운항특성을 모방하는 선박운동시뮬레이션 시스템과 선박 운항 주변에 변화하는 장애물을 시뮬레이션하는 주변객체 시뮬레이션 시스템으로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 선박 운동방정식을 이용하여 선박의 물리적 및 운항 특성을 모방한 선박운동시뮬레이션 시스템을 설계 개발하였다.

In recent years robotics has become an important resource in engineering. Adoption of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) in activities related to ship inspections has obvious potential advantages, but also arises particular challenges, both from technical and legal viewpoints. The ROBINS project (ROBotics technology for INspection of Ships) is a collaborative project co-funded within the H2020 EU Research and Innovation programme call, aimed at filling the gap between current ship inspections approach and available robotic technology, both from technological and regulatory point of view. Main goal of the present work is to highlight how ship inspections are currently carried out by humans, how they could be improved using RAS, even if not completely autonomous for the time being, at least in selected operational scenarios and how the performances of RAS platforms can be tested to assess their effectiveness in carrying out surveys onboard. In such a framework, a testing facility aimed at assessing RAS' capabilities as well as providing suitable environment for their development has been built and it is still under development along with dedicated testing protocols, able to assess the equivalence between human and RAS inspection of ship and marine structures. The features of a testing facility where RAS can be tested and the testing protocols are presented, showing how technological and regulatory gaps are filled.

최근 자율운항선박 개발을 위한 연구가 국내외에서 추진 중에 있다. 자율운항선박 개발에서 핵심기술 중 하나는 항로추종인데, 항로추종은 선박의 안전성 확보에 중요하기 때문에 자율운항선박 설계 시 사전평가 해야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 자율운항선박 설계 시 항로추정성능의 시각적 및 정량적 평가기법을 개발하기 위한 것이다. 이 평가기법은 전산유체역학 기반의 자유 항주 모델과 LOS(Line-of-Sight) 알고리즘을 연계하여 개발하였다. 평가기법 중, 시각적 평가는 항로추종 중인 선박에 의해 생성되는 파계를 전산유체역학 소프트웨어를 이용하여 가시화하여 평가하고, 정량적 평가는 목표 선수방위각과 추정 선수방위각 사이의 차이 값과 계획항로와 추종항로 사이의 거리 차이 값을 이용하여 평가하였다. 항로추종성능 평가 결과, 항로추종 중 변침지점 부근에서 항로이탈편차가 크게 발생함을 알았고, 또한 선박 주위 유동의 시각화를 통해 선박 주위 유체 현상을 쉽게 파악할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 평가기법은 자율운항선박 설계 시 항로추정성능 평가에 관한 시각적 및 정량적 평가에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

조선 및 해운·물류 분야의 디지털 전환은 자율운항선박의 도입 및 선박의 운항방식의 변화를 이끌 것으로 예상된다. 기존 운항방식과 함께 자율운항, 원격운항 등 다양한 운항형태가 공존하며, 선박 운용 프로세스의 전환과 새로운 이해관계자의 등장이 전망된다. 본 논문에서는 선박 운항방식 변화에 따른 미래 선박 운항 프로세스를 분석하고, 미래 선박의 운항환경 변화를 예측하여 주요 업무별·이해관계자별 기능요건을 도출하고자 한다. 델파이 기법을 활용하여 항해 및 화물운송 계획 수립단계부터 최종 목적항 입항 및 화물 하역단계까지 선박 운항 시나리오를 구성하고, 업무별, 수행 주체별 미래 업무 변화를 예측했다. 원격운항, 자율운항 등으로 선원의 개입이 최소화될 것이며, 각 분야의 전문가가 선박 운항의 다양한 측면에서 책임과 의무를 갖게 될 것으로 예상된다.

In this study, a simulation system was developed to verify autonomous navigation algorithm in complex maritime traffic areas. In particular, real-world maritime traffic scenario was applied by considering near real-time maritime traffic information provided by Korean e-Navigation service. For this, a navigation simulation system of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) was integrated with an e-Navigation equipment, called Electronic Chart System (ECS). To verify autonomous navigation algorithm in the simulation system, initial conditions including initial position of an own ship and a set of paths for the ship to follow are assigned by an operator. Then, considering real-world maritime traffic information obtained from the service, the simulation is implemented in which the ship repeatedly travels by avoiding surrounding obstacles (e.g., approaching ships). In this paper, the developed simulation system and its application on verification of the autonomous navigation algorithm in complex maritime traffic areas are introduced.

Currently, shipping by sea is becoming common because of the low price and the safety of goods. The ship is designed as a larger vessel to meet the need of this development. In the design stage, the investigation of hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship hull is very important in predicting the ship's maneuverability. Given that the ship docks at various ports for loading or discharging goods, the ship usually operates in various loading conditions, depending on the site condition and other various factors. Hence, it is necessary to investigate the effect of the loading condition on the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship, to most accurately determine the maneuverability of the ship. In this study, an experiment of Korea Autonomous Surface Ship (KASS) was conducted at the towing tank of Changwon National University to measure the hydrodynamic forces acting on the KASS. The loading condition considered in this experiment is determined based on the draft, which was decreased by 5% for each loading condition. The smallest draft is 85% of the design draft. The static test as Oblique Towing Test (OTT), Circular Motion Test (CMT), Circular Motion Test with Drift (CMTD) is performed in the various loading conditions. First, the hydrodynamic forces in the Oblique Towing test (OTT) are compared with the result of other institutes. Second, the hydrodynamic forces in various drift angle, yaw rate and loading conditions are measured. Finally, the influence of the loading conditions on the hydrodynamic coefficient is discussed.

The digitization of ship environments has increased the risk of cyberattacks on ships. The smartization and automation of ships are also likely to result in cyber threats. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has discussed the establishment of regulations at the autonomous level and has revised existing agreements by dividing autonomous ships into four stages, where stages 1 and 2 are for sailors who are boarding ships while stages 3 and 4 are for those not boarding ships. In this study, the level of a smart ship was classified into LEVELs (LVs) 1 to 3 based on the autonomous levels specified by the IMO. Furthermore, a risk assessment for smart ships at various LVs in different risk scenarios was conducted The cyber threats and vulnerabilities of smart ships were analyzed by dividing them into administrative, physical, and technical security; and mitigation measures for each security area were derived. A total of 22 cyber threats were identified for the cyber asset (target system). We inferred that the higher the level of a smart ship, the greater the hyper connectivity and the remote access to operational technology systems; consequently, the greater the attack surface. Therefore, it is necessary to apply mitigation measures using technical security controls in environments with high-level smart ships.

The present study suggests a data-driven multivariate identification method based on principal component analysis and shows an application to ship dynamics modeling in maneuver. A reduced order model of ship dynamics is built by linear combination of three principal components acquired from large angle zigzag maneuver test. For a given kinematic state with three variables, a proper span is found by least square method, therefore accompanying hydrodynamic force and moment is determined. Suggested dynamics model correctly estimates hydrodynamic force and moment, thus it showed good agreement in maneuver simulation with that of conventional ship dynamics model obtained by system identification of captive model tests.
