선박교통관제사는 선박 교통의 안전과 효율을 도모하기 위하여 선박교통관제 설비로 지정된 시스템 및 센서 장비를 활용하여 선박교통관제 업무를 수행한다. 선박교통관제의 효과적 운영을 위한 관제 필요 정보는 지정된 선박교통관제 설비 이외의 부가적인 정보 창구의 접근이 요구되며, 이러한 다양한 정보 열람 창구를 일원화하기 위하여 선박교통관제 클라우드 시스템 개발이 진행 중이다. 본 연구 에서는 선박교통관제 클라우드 시스템 도입에 따른 사용자 필요 정보 식별을 위하여 선박교통관제 업무 분석 및 운영 정보와 선박교통관 제 설비 연계 분석을 수행하였다. 국내외 문헌 검토와 전문가 인터뷰를 통하여 선박교통관제 업무 분석을 수행하였으며, 선박교통관제 설 비에 따른 필요 정보를 식별·연계하였다. 분석 결과 전체 내·외부 정보 창구의 필요 정보는 37개의 범주로 식별되었으며, 필수 및 보조관제 설비 이외 열람이 필요한 추가 요구 정보는 8개의 정보창구를 통하여 수집 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 식별한 사용자 요 구사항은 선박교통관제 클라우드 시스템 구축을 위한 데이터 수집·처리 구조 설계에 적용될 것이다. 향후 시나리오 기반 관제 시스템 사용 자 운영 분석을 통하여 사용자 요구 및 필요 정보를 개정·보완하고, 시스템 인터페이스 디자인 설계에 관한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

국내 VTS 운영 현황을 분석하여 해상교통안전 및 보안환경 변화에 따른 VTS 미래 과제를 도출하였다. 또한 미국과 일본 등 VTS 활용 사례와 국내 해상교통 현장관리현황을 바탕으로 재난적 해상교통사고에 입체적, 선제적으로 대응하고 해양현장의 종합적 control tower로서 VTS 가치와 활용도 증진을 위한 방향을 제시하였다.

Recently IMO and IALA have developed the strategy of e-Navigation and the concepts of VTM to enhance the safety, efficiency and security of vessel traffic and protection of the marine environment. And current technical and functional trends require vessel traffic management systems to be improved so as to control vessel traffic not only in waters of harbour area, but also within EEZ waters. Under the consideration of these circumstances, a three-layered vessel traffic management system was proposed in this paper. The proposed system consists of three sub-systems, called Local VTS, Regional VTS and National VTS, and those sub-systems are designed respectively to be suitable for managing vessel traffic within their own jurisdiction waters.

The purpose of this study is to find out what is the functional role of VTS in order to get the people concerned with marine traffic/transportation understand about VTS. VTS could be described as the essential risk management system in both cost effective on cost-benefit analysis and the sea space or time management at port, coastal environment. The important role of the VTS are those functions such as the decision making infrastructure, the passive/active safety measures at sea. VTS could not control/regulate marine traffic as strong as ATC(Air Traffic Control) owing to the marine traffic characters. However, the right and responsibility of VTS finally are belong to the master, pilot and mariners. For the benefit of the electronic technology development, VTS system also cloud be upgraded to communication system from information system. In connection with these system upgrading, the right and responsibility of VTS/staff should be supported by domestic legal system. The followings are presented for VTS to be effective. First, the cooperation and understanding of VTS between the peoples concerned with marine traffic/transportation are essential. Because they are all data supplier and also information consumers. Second, VTS staff/regulator should be selected, educated, trained accordingly as per their career, ability, quality, qualification, certification and etc. Third, the port reliability from VTS users depends on the factors such as economic interests, safety and effectiveness/efficiency of VTS.

The increase in seaborne cargoes has made our coastal traffic congested, and future coastal traffic is also expected to increase considerably as result of our economic development and high dependence on foreign trade. This increased traffic may be a cause of serious sea pollution as well as greater number of sea accidents. In view of this problem the introduction of VTMS along on our coast is required, following careful study of a large number of foreign systems. This paper analyzes the actual condition of 132 VTMSs in the world from the view point of management method authority of VTMS, coverage and characteristics of system. And this results provide helpful information for the development of VTMS in the future and for the implementation of VTMS in our coastal waterway.

The amount of cargoes and fishery production have increased continuously during the last decade due to the great growth of the Korean economy. These increasements have made our coastal traffic congested, and the future coastal traffic is also expected to increase considerably. The increased traffic can be a cause of large sea pollution as well a s greater sea casualties us as properties and human lives, which could result in a big national loss. In order to prevent the sea casualties and promote the safety of coastal traffic, the Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) along the Korean coastal waterway is inevitably introduced. But, the precise evaluation is necessary required prior to the implementation of VTMS because this system necessitates a huge amount of budgets. This paper aims to propose the model of evaluation process, but the evaluation as to the urgency of establishment is not only very complicated and fuzzy but also affected by the subjectivity of human. Therefore, fuzzy integral is adopted as the mathematical model of evaluation in which decision-maker can intervence by making decision considering the calculated membership-function. Four aspects, namely, the frequency of sea-casualities, the traffic volume, the frequency fuzzy day, and the complexity of waterway are selected as the item of evaluation, and the fuzzy measure are applied to the evaluation of 8 candidated regions such as the adjacent area to the port Inchen, Kunsan, Mokpo, Wando, Yosu, Pusan, Pohang, Donghae. As a result of evaluation, the priority as to the candidated regions is obtained, and the following prior execution regions, namely, the adjacent area to the port Pusan, Yosu, Mokpo & Wando are selected by considering the present situation, but, in the long run, the VTMS should be executed in the whole coast of the nation, through the cost-effectiveness analysis.
