The Kinematic GPS is well known to provide a quite good accuracy of positioning within an level. Although kinematic GPS assures high precision measurement on the basis of an appreciable distance between a reference station and an observational point, it has measurable distance restriction within 20 km from a reference station on land. Therefore, it is necessary to make out a simple and low-cost method to obtain accurate positioning information without distance restriction In this paper, the velocity integration method to get the precise velocity information of a ship is explained. The experimental results of Zig-zag maneuver and Williamson turn as the ship's maneuvering test, and other experimental results of ship's movement during leaving and entering the port with low speed were shown. From the experimental results, ship's course, speed and position are compared with those obtained by kinematic-GPS, velocity integration method and dead reckoning position using Gyro-compass and Doppler-log.

실습선 한바다호에 설치된 선박 조종성능 계측 시스템을 이용하여 타각, 선회방향, 속력 등 다양한 조건으로 수차례에 걸쳐 선회시험을 실시하였다. 이를 바탕으로 선회권, 조종성 지수, 신침로 거리 등을 산출하여 상호 비교하였고, 그 결과 IMO 조종성 기준(Maneuvering standards)을 잘 만족하고 있음을 확인하였다. 실습선 한바다호는 좌현으로 선회하는 경우 모든 타각에서 선회권이 작게 측정되었고, 타 선박과 비교하여 선회성 지수(K)와 추종성 지수(T)가 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 따라서 선회과정에서 선회경은 다소 작아질 수 있으나, 전진거리가 길어질 수 있으므로 전방의 위험물 회피에 주의가 요구된다. 또한, 신침로가 30˚~90˚인 경우 신침로거리는 125m~300m로 측정되었다. 이러한 결과는 충돌회피와 항내조선 및 협수도 항해 시 선박을 보다 안전하게 조선하는데 매우 중요한 지표가 될 것으로 판단된다.

The Maneuvering Indices of a ship are the values that decide the quantity of her motion in turning when her rudder is turned over to an angle to the starboard or the port. They consist of two kinds of indices, one of which is called index K and the other, index T. Index K decides a ship's turning ability and index T does the length of time delay of a normal turning motion after her rudder has finished the turn of an ordered angle. Generally, the values of the indices are calculated through some mathematic formulas with figures of her heading degrees recorded at a fixed time intervals during her Z test. The values of the same kind index of a ship appear differently according to the ship'sspeed, trim, rudder angle and loaded condition, etc. In this paper, the author analyzed all the amthematic formulas required to calculate the values of the indices in their forming process and examined them from the point of mathematics and dynamics and also actually figured out the values of maneuvering indices of the M.S. "HANBADA", the training ship of Korea Merchant Marine College through her Z test. The author supposed a case in which two same typed ships as the "HANBADA" in size, shape and conditions were approaching each other in meeting end on situation and each ship turned her rudder hard over to the starboard respectively when they approached to the distance of 3 times as long as the ship's length. The author worked out mathematic formulas calculating forward and transverse ship's motions within the above mentioned situation for the quantative analysis of the collision avoding action to certify whether they are in collision status or not. Applying the calculated values of the maneuvering indices of the "HANBADA" to the motion calculating formulas, the author found out the two ships were passing over each other with the clearing distance o 39m between their port quarters. With the above mentioned examinations and explanations, the author demonstrated that a ship's motion in any collision avoiding action can be shown with quantities of time and distance within reliable limit.istance within reliable limit.
