The AtoN Simulator provides simulation circumstances, which include the topographical and environmental characteristics of a primary harbor, as well as the characteristics of navigating a ship and maritime traffic. The AtoN planning expert can design a safer and more efficient distribution of AtoN using the simulator. AtoN simulation system is a system that adds AtoN part such as AtoN attribute and modeling to ship handling simulation system. AtoN 3D modeling and motion characteristics implemented in existing ship handling simulations were not perfect. Therefore, there was inconvenience in 3D simulation. Therefore, AtoN attribute construction and 3D modeling are required for AtoN simulation system. This study researched the AtoN 3D modeling for AtoN simulator. The AtoN analysis surveyed the AtoN for 3D modeling. Modeling design was designed to be similar to the actual AtoN on the basis of such an analysis of the AtoN scale. Modeling was AtoN 3D modeling based on the design drawings. Each AtoN was grouped into a Main Category and Sub Category. Specific data were easily changed using the 3D tools.

This study investigated the design and establishment of AtoN(Aids to Navigation) in the AtoN Simulator. In recent years, IALA(International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) has raised the need of a system which could verify whether AtoN is appropriate for the design of AtoN and placement planning. An AtoN Simulator provides simulation circumstances, including the topographical and environmental characteristics of a primary harbor and the characteristics of a navigating ship and the maritime traffic. In the present study, we have developed an AtoN simulator system, including the integrated system design and the construction of an AtoN database. The AtoN Manager was developed as a virtual AtoN to manage the AtoN simulation. However, the data and materials are difficult to manage. Hence, an AtoN Manager and an AtoN simulation system have been needed for an effective managing of the AtoN properties database data. For the database structure design, we have analyzed the database design methodology. The AtoN properties have been analyzed for the effective data management. The AtoN properties designed in the present paper were classified into 19 categories. The status and properties database of AtoN were installed in 14 major ports, those were applied to the AtoN Manager. Designing the AtoN properties database was defined to reduce confusion of the use of English terms and abbreviations. The terms and acronyms have been defined in the AtoN properties and designed to the properties database structure for each AtoN. Before structuring the database for the AtoN Manager, the data of the AtoN properties for each harbor have been organized in accordance with the Excel system. The regulated data were converted into the AtoN properties database in use for the AtoN Manager. The database based on the AtoN properties table structure to each AtoN was designed. The AtoN simulator was implemented by the AtoN Manager applied to the AtoN properties database.

항로표지는 선박에 대하여 등광, 형상, 색채, 음향, 전파 등을 수단으로 운항 선박에게 위치, 방향 및 장애물의 위치 등을 알려주는 항행보조시설 일체를 의미하며, 주야간 선박항행의 안전을 위한 기본 수단이다. 예인선은 안전을 위해 종류별 최소 설비요건을 마련하여 사고를 대비하고 있지만, 예인삭의 길이, 조류의 영향, 상대적으로 중량이 큰 부선의 타력으로 인한 영향 등으로 예인선과 선회권이 달라, 변침 시 부선이 예인선을 따라가지 못하여 등부표와 추돌하는 사고가 발생하기도 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 두 선박의 물리적 관계를 분석하여 예인선 열을 식별하고 등부표와의 위험을 항로표지 관리운영 시스템을 통해 전파하는 기초 시스템을 제시하는데 있다. 연구를 통해 예부선의 사전 식별 가능성을 확인하였고, 위험 전파를 위한 메시지를 설계하고 모의 시스템을 통한 위험 전파 및 전자해도 상에 위험을 표시하였다.
