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.

Location-Based Service(LBS) is a service that provides a variety of convenience in life using location information that can be obtained by mobile communication network or satellite signal. In order to provide LBS precisely and efficiently, we have to need technologies such as location determination technology, platform technology and server technology first. In this study, we studied on how we can reduce the error on location determination of objects such people and things. Fingerprint location determination method was applied to this study because it can be used at current wireless communication infrastructure and less influenced by a variety of noisy environment than other location determination methods. We used the time of arrival(ToA) method in fingerprint location determination method. In order to confirm the performance of suggested method, we developed location determination test program with LAbVIEW 2010 and performed the test. According to indoor test results, the suggested method reduced the distance error by 24%, 34% and 19% respectively at indoor environment compared with deterministic kWNN and Rice Gaussian fingerprint methods.

This paper propose to make a Construction site safety management system using beacon indoor positioning technology. in this system, as using beacon, it can measure the position of worker who have smartphone or any device which have bluetooth function. there is two way to use technology of beacon, first one is distance technology which can alarm dangerous situation such as appoaching heavy equipment. second one is location positioning technology. it is the main technology which can measure the position of workers in real time. this system is based on low energy and accurate sensor, beacon, and have a low cost advantage. so it is expected to improve safety on the construction site.

This paper proposes an integrated positioning system to localize a moving object in the shadow-area that exists in the water tank. The new water tank for underwater robots is constructed to evaluate the navigation performance of underwater vehicles. Several sensors are integrated in the water tank to provide the position information of the underwater vehicles. However there are some areas where the vehicle localization becomes very poor since the very limited sensors such as sonar and depth sensors are effective in underwater environment. Also there are many disturbances at sonar data. To reduce these disturbances, an extended Kalman filter has been adopted in this research. To localize the underwater vehicles under the hostile situations, a SVR (Support Vector Regression) has been systematically applied for estimating the position stochastically. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm (an extended Kalman filter + SVR analysis), a new UI (User Interface) has been developed.

E-navigation 전략의 핵심 장비인 전자해도표시시스템(ECDIS)과 선박자동식별장치(AIS)등의 출현으로 항해사는 전자항해 방식에 적응하며 편리성과 효율성으로 인해 전자항해장비에 의존하게 되었다. 현재의 첨단항해장비는 e-input인 측위정보가 필요하나, 신뢰할 수 있는 측위정보는 제한되어 있으며 고정적이라 할 수 있다. 결과로 첨단항해장비의 운용 및 해양분야의 위치정보 이용을 위해 주 측위시스템의 고장에 대비한 백업 측위시스템이 필요하게 되었다. 즉, 주 측위시스템에 고장이 발생하여 측위시스템으로부터 위치정보를 제공받지 못할 경우, 전파측위시스템 이외의 측위도구를 준비하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 항만 내 항해 및 위치정보 서비스의 요구를 만족하기 위해 측위시스템을 분석하여 주시스템, 백업시스템의 적절한 조합을 통해 항만측위시스템 이중화 설계를 목적으로 한다.

Nowadays Hyperbolic Navigation System-LORAN, DECCA, OMEGA, OMEGA-is available on the ocean, and Spherical Navigation System, GPS (Global Positioning System) is operated partially. Hyperbolic Navigation System has the blind area near the base line extention because divergence rate of hyperbola is infinite theoretically. The Position Accuracy is differ from the cross angle of LOP although each LOP has the same error of quantity. GDOP(Geometric Dilution of Precisoin) is used to estimate the position accuracy according to the cross angle of LOP and LOP error. Hyperbola and ellipse are crossed at right angle everywhere. Hyperbola and ellipse are used to LOP in Rectangular Navigation System. The equation calculating the GDOP of rectangular Navigation System is induced and GDOP diagram is completed in this paper. A scheme that can improve the position accuracy in the blind area of Hyperboic Navigation System using the Rectangular Navigation System is proposed through the computer simulation.
