선박이 대양 항해 시 선박의 위치를 구하는 것은 안전 항해를 위해 매우 중요하다. 1990년대 이후 GPS(Global Positioning System) 항법의 발전으로 대부분의 선박들이 GPS를 이용하고 있다. 천문 항법은 대양항해 시 항법 수단으로 활용되었으나 계산과정이 복잡하고 시간이 많이 걸리며 해도에 작도를 해야 하는 어려움이 있었다. 그 결과, 활용성이 급격히 저하되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존 천문항법의 문제점을 개선하여 편리성과 활용성을 도모한 개선된 선박 측위 알고리즘을 제시하고 천문항법의 계산과정을 수식으로 정리하여 알고리즘을 소프트웨어로 구현하였다. 선박이 항해 시 태양의 고도, GHA, dec를 컴퓨터에 입력하면 선위가 경 위도 좌표로 화면에 전시된다. 본 논문의 결과, 개선된 방법으로 천문항법의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었으며 조난 시 훌륭한 항법 수단이 될 것이다.

기존에 중 대형 선박용 레이더로서 널리 사용되는 펄스 레이더는 주로 원거리에 위치하는 다른 선박이나 장애물을 감지하기 위한 용도로 사용된다. 이러한 펄스 레이더는 높은 출력을 요구하며 장착 및 유지비용이 많이 들기 때문에 소형용 선박에는 장착하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 그 대안으로 제시되는 것이 FMCW(frequency modulated continuous wave) 레이더이다. FMCW 레이더 시스템은 낮은 전력으로도 운용이 가능하며 비교적 가까운 곳에 있는 물체에 대한 거리 분해능이 좋기 때문에 소형 선박용 레이더에 적합하다. 기존에 제안된 소형 선박용 FMCW 레이더 시스템은 단일 수신 안테나를 사용하기 때문에 한 번 수신된 신호를 가지고는 특정 방향에 존재하는 선박의 위치 정보만을 추출할 뿐, 동시에 여러 선박의 위치 정보를 파악하는 것은 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위상 배열 안테나를 사용하여 받은 FMCW 레이더 신호에 MUSIC(multiple signal classification) 알고리즘을 적용함으로써, 여러 대의 선박의 위치를 동시에 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 디지털 빔 형성 기법을 기존 MUSIC 알고리즘에 결함함으로써 각도 분해능을 향상시키고자 한다.

국제항로표지협회에서는 해양 분야에서 활용하는 백업항법시스템의 경우 항만 입출항시 10 m의 수평정확도를 보장하도록 요구하고 있다. 대표적인 해양분야의 백업항법시스템인 eLoran은 10 m 이내의 수평 정확도를 만족함이 증명되었지만, 수신환경에 따라 항법성능이 저하되기도 한다. 특히 수신 안테나 주변의 잡음 및 멀티패스 등으로 인한 요인으로 인해 특정 상황에서는 항법 자체가 불가능해지기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경에서 항만입출항 조건의 수평정확도 요구성능을 만족하기 위하여 UAV(unmanned aerial vehicles)를 활용한 선박의 백업항법시스템을 설계하였다. eLoran 신호 수신에 영향을 주는 주변 환경의 영향을 감소시키기 위하여 UAV에 카메라, IMU센서, eLoran 안테나 및 수신기를 장착하였으며, 선박의 안테나보다 높은 곳에서 카메라를 이용하여 랜드마크를 추적하고 일정 범위 내에서 eLoran 신호 수신과 위치 및 자세를 제어하도록 설계하였다. 선박에서는 UAV로부터 수신한 영상 및 자세 정보와 eLoran 신호를 이용한 선박기반 측위결과를 이용해 항만 입출항 시 수평정확도 요구성능을 만족할 수 있다.

The Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) lies between the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries of Korea, Japan, and China. The geographical positioning of the IORS makes it ideal for monitoring ships in the area. In this study, we introduce ship monitoring results by Automatic Identification System (AIS) and the Broadband 3G^TM radar, which has been developed for use in small ships using the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technique. AIS and FMCW radar data were collected at IORS from November 23th to 30th, 2013. The acquired FMCW radar data was converted to 2-D binary image format over pre-processing, including the internal and external noise filtering. The ship positions detected by FMCW radar images were passed into a tracking algorithm. We then compared the detection and tracking results from FMCW radar with AIS information and found that they were relatively well matched. Tracking performance is especially good when ships are across from each other. The results also show good monitoring capability for small fishing ships, even those not equipped with AIS or with a dysfunctional AIS.

The maritime sector is advancing with dedicated endeavor to reduce greenhouse gas in addressing issues with regards to global warming. Since 01 January 2013, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulation mandatory requirement for Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) has been in place and should be satisfied by newly-built ships of more than 400 gross tonnage and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) for all ships type. Therefore, compliance to this necessitates planning during the design stage whereas verification can be carried-out through an acceptable method during sea trial. The MEPC-approved 2013 guidance, ISO 15016 and ISO 19019 on EEDI serves the purpose for calculation and verification of attained EEDI value. Individual ships EEDI value should be lower than the required value set by these regulations. The key factors for EEDI verification are power and speed assessment and their synchronization. The shaft power can be measured by telemeter system using strain gage during sea trial. However, calibration of shaft power onboard condition is complicated. Hence, it relies only on proficient technology that operates within the permitted ISO allowance. On the other hand, the ship speed can be measured and calibrated by differential ground positioning system (DGPS). An actual test on a newly-built vessel was carried out to assess the correlation of power and speed. The Energy-efficiency Design Index or Operational Indicator Monitoring System (EDiMS) software developed by the Dynamics Laboratory-Mokpo Maritime University (DL-MMU) and Green Marine Equipment RIS Center (GMERC) of Mokpo Maritime University was utilized for this investigation. In addition, the software can continuously monitor air emission and is a useful tool for inventory and ship energy management plan. This paper introduces the synchronization and identification method between shaft power and ship speed for EEDI verification in accordance with the ISO guidance.

In this paper, the authors propose a new approach to control a barge type surface vessel. It is based on the Dynamic Positioning System(DPS) design. The main role of barge ship is to carry and supply the materials to the floating units and other places. To carry out this job, it should be positioned in the specified area. However sometimes the thrust systems are installed on it, and in general the rope control by mooring winch system is used. It may be difficult to compare the control performances of two types. If we consider this problem in point of usefulness, we can easily find out that the winch control system is more useful and applicable to the real field than the thrust control system except a special use. Therefore, in this paper we consider a DPS design problem which can be extended to the many application fields. The goal of this paper is twofold. First, the sliding mode controller (SMC) for positioning the our vessel is proposed. Especially, in this paper, a robust stability condition is given based on descriptor system representation. In the result, the sliding mode control law guarantees to keep the vessel in the defined area in the presence of environmental disturbances. And second, the thrust allocation problem is solved by using redistributed pseudo-inverse (RPI) algorithm to determine the thrust force and direction of each individual actuator. The proposed approach has been simulated with a supply vessel model and found work well.

We analyzed risk factors of coastal gillnet fishers during fishing process and considered work safety measures to reduce safety accidents during fishing using a UWB (ultra wideband) based positioning system. The static position accuracy of the UWB based positioning system was 45 cm. When entering a port, there is a risk of falling overboard. When casting a net, there was a risk of falling overboard due to being hit by fishing gear or guards, or getting caught in a buoy line or sinker line. When hauling a net, there is a risk of getting caught between fishing gear and net hauler, and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to repetitive work over a long period of time. Most safety accidents during work on fishing boats are blamed on human errors of the fisher and skipper, but safety accidents occur due to a mixture of mechanical and equipment factors, work and environmental factors, and management factors in addition to human errors. Therefore, the 4E were presented as countermeasures against the 4M, which are causes of safety accidents, and the proposed measures were used to identify risk factors for operation process, comply with work safety rules, and ensure the wearing of personal protective equipments. We need to reduce safety accidents during work by making it part of our daily routine. These research results can be used in the future for optimal placement of fishing gear and fishing nets in other coastal industries where safety accidents occur frequently.

In this study, a system that precisely determines the heave of ship hull was designed using time-differenced GNSS carrier phase measurement, and the performance was examined. First, a technique that calculates precise position relative to the original position based on TDCP measurement for point positioning using only one receiver was implemented. Second, to eliminate the long-cycle drift error occurring due to the measurement error that has not been completely removed by time-differencing, an easily implementable high-pass filter was designed, and the optimum coefficient was determined through an experiment. In a static experiment based on the precise heave measurement system implemented using low-cost commercial GNSS receiver and PC, the heave could be measured with a precision of 2 cm standard deviation. In addition, in a dynamic experiment where it moved up and down with an amplitude of 48 cm and a cycle of 20 seconds, precise heave without drift error could be determined. The system proposed in this study can be easily used for many applications, such as the altitude correction of fish detection radar.

Commercial uses of GPS have been growing rapidly with applications for aircraft, ship, and land vehicle navigation as well as for surveying and time keeping. The next generation GPS and Japanese QZS (Quasi Zenith Satellite) will provide three different civil signals. Galileo will also provide several types of civil signals. The availability of the third civil frequency has obvious advantages to instantaneous carrier phase accuracy and ambiguity resolution for centimeter level measurements. This paper discusses the effects of additional new civil signals for the high accuracy positioning in urban areas based on simulation using practical raw data. As for constellation, only GPS and GPS+QZS are considered. For positioning, a short distance baseline is assumed in order to disregard atmosphere effects. In this simulation, mask angle and signal conditions were fixed and ambiguity success rates were compared between different triple frequency combination scenarios. The coefficient of reflection was set randomly from 0.05 to 0.5 and the multipath delay was also set randomly from 5-100 m. Visible satellites and signal strength were determined by raw data collected in Tokyo by car. These simulation results have confirmed that the availability of high accuracy positioning will increase in all scenarios if we use GPS+QZS with triple frequencies.
