In this study, a ship motion control system design method is introduced for autonomous ships. Some related research results and technologies for autonomous ships have already been developed and applied to ships. For example, the Norwegian Maritime Authority and the Coastal Administration have signed an agreement that allows to test of autonomous ships in the defined area (port to port). Many countries and industries are pursuing to realize the autonomous vessel in the real world. In this paper, the authors try to develop related technology. As basic research, a ship model of the pilot vessel is developed and physical parameters are identified by experiment and simulations. Using the mathematical ship model, a control system is designed and control performance is evaluated by simulations.

‘자율운항선박’이 상용화 하게 됨에 따라 원격운항자는 앞으로 가장 중요한 역할을 담당하게 될 것으로 예상되고 있다. 원격운항자는 자율운항선박에서 최종적으로 선박운항에 관한 사항을 지휘·통제하는 자로서, 종래의 선장 및 선원의 개념과는 차별화 된다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 과연 자율화 등급에 따른 선박의 원격운항자가 선장 및 선원의 지위를 가질 수 있는지에 대해 논의해 보고자하며, 특히 선원이 승선하지 않는 무인화 된 자율운항선박의 원격운항자가 선장지위를 가질 수 있는지에 대해 국제협약 및 국내 해사법규를 근거로 분석해 보고자 한다. 이 논문의 결론에서는 원격운항자를 ‘육상원격운항 선장 및 선원’ 지위 부여의 타당성을 언급하고자 하며, 나아가 그와 관련된 자격증명 및 교육훈련제도의 개선 필요성을 제시하고자 한다.

Technology-driven development of a new system makes it difficult for users and stakeholders to identify or intervene in the development process, resulting in systems with unnecessary functions and poor quality services. Applying the software architecture design process to the initial design of the navigation system platform of autonomous ships enables the development of a system that reflects the required functions and service quality of the stakeholders. The design, which includes all of the subsystems that make up an autonomous ship platform, is close to an enterprise architecture. Thus, we strived to design a navigation system platform suitable for the design range of the software architecture. This study analyzed the definition of functional requirements, and quality attributes by applying the software architecture design procedure. This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of the navigation system and platform needs, and the stakeholders were identified. To derive the functional requirements and constraints of the platform, a quality attributes workshop was held engaging stakeholders, and the results of the analysis of functional requirements and quality attributes were listed. Based on the results of this study, the architect can establish the evidence and technical solutions that are integral for the architecture development, and will facilitate the creation of quality attribute scenarios.
