항만건설 및 운영에서 해양교통시설의 설치와 운영은 해상충돌방지 및 안전에서 매우 중요한 인자이다. 그리고, 해상교통시설의 설치 및 운영은 IMO SOLAS 5장 제13조에 의하여 당국의 의무사항으로 규정되어 있다. 해양교통시설은 과거의 시각적(광학, 형상) 시설에서 AIS, DGPS 및 기타 전파표지 등을 활용한 e-Navigation의 개념으로 발전하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 해양교통시설의 자동화 흐름에도 불구하 고 선박의 안전한 항해를 위한 광파표지 및 형상표지의 역할은 여전히 절대적이다. 본 연구에서는 시각표지의 운영관리 효율을 향상시키기 위한 해양교통시설 서비스수준의 결정방법으로 해상교통관련 전체 시설을 하나의 관리시스템으로 조합하고 더욱 효율적인 시스템 관리방안 으로서 항로표지 운영율을 제안하였다. 해외의 서비스 수준에 대한 비교와 이론적 배경을 분석하고, 제안된 서비스수준을 인천해역에 실제 적용하여 항로의 안전성을 평가한 사례를 제시하였다.

Road and maritime transport which connecting main cities in the world is already fully saturated, and the loss cost caused by recent high oil prices is getting bigger. Transportation by inland waterway is rising as an alternative method of them. Concerning this, the GI Waterway is on construction to connect the Yellow sea and Seoul. Nevertheless, there are no existing aids to navigation around the area and no studies have been carried out for them. As the construction progresses, installation of proper aids to navigation should be considered and profound studies need to be carried out. This study focused on introduction of the cases and the systems of other countries inland waterway aids to navigation and suggested a suitable navigation aids system along the inland waterways in Korea and a way of installation for that system.

Introduction of wave model, considered the effect of shoaling, refraction, diffraction, partial reflection, bottom friction, breaking at the coastal waters of complex bathymetry, is a very important factor for most coastal engineering design and disaster prevention problems. As waves move from deeper waters to shallow coastal waters, the fundamental wave parameters will change and the wave energy is redistributed along wave crests due to the depth variation, the presence of islands, coastal protection structures, irregularities of the enclosing shore boundaries, and other geological features. Moreover, waves undergo severe change inside the surf zone where wave breaking occurs and in the regions where reflected waves from coastline and structural boundaries interact with the incident waves. Therefore, the application of mild-slope equation model in this field would help for understanding of wave transformation mechanism where many other models could not deal with up to now. The purpose of this study is to form a extended mild-slope equation wave model and make comparison and analysis on variation of harbor responses in the vicinities of Ulsan Harbor and Ulsan New Port, etc. due to construction of New Port in Ulsan Bay. We also considered the increase of water depth at the entrance channel by dredging work up to 15 meters depth in order to see the dredging effect. Among several model analyses, the nonlinear and breaking wave conditions are showed the most applicable results. This type of trial might be a milestone for port development in macro scale, where the induced impact analysis in the existing port due to the development could be easily neglected
