To establish a vessel safety management system for improving the safety of vessel's traffic and preventing vessel's traffic accidents, the state of marine traffic in the Busan South Port was investigated and analyzed as preliminary survey of the countermeasures. As a result of the study, there are 1,158 vessels in a day, 48 vessels in an hour, and the maximum traffic is about 118 vessels between 16:00 and 17:00 hours everyday, which requires to establish and operate a traffic control system necessarily for ensuring vessel's traffic safety. Furthermore, passages of tanker, passenger ship, cargo vessel and government vessel showed to sail along main traffic lane to be obtained enough sea depth at the survey area. However, passages of fishing vessel and launch showed to sail freely at all survey area owing to outstanding maneuverability and a shallow draft. Some vessels of launch sailed along main traffic lane, but other vessels crossed to sail it. The passages to cross main traffic lane is higher the risk of collision. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed for the operation of the Busan South Port management system and the prevention of marine pollution.

The introduction of coastal vessel traffic services enables vessels in coastal waters to navigate in safety or to get her position with ease and prevents the vessel from becoming cause of casualties. But it needs relatively huge amount of cost to construct and operate and maintain. Thus we must be checked with economical adequacy of the the proposed coastal vessel traffic services by comparing the cost of the construction, operation and maintenance with the expected benefit made by the expected decrease in marine casualties. In previous paper, a proper cost-benefit analysis model for the Korean practice will be suggested. In this Paper, the proposed the cost-benefit analysis model of coastal vessel traffic services was applied to the Koje coastal waters 20mi1es from the top of Maemul-Do and Yokchi-Do. As the result, we confirmed the propriety of the cost-benefit analysis with the application of the proposed model to Koje waters. Also, it is verified that the introduction of coastal vessel traffic services, as proposed, is adequate and economical. The cost-benefit analysis model proposed in this study could be used to investigate the economic Propriety of new aids to navigation and traffic safety facilities in the future.

With the expansion of the shipping and port logistics industry in the 21st century, the traffic density is continuously increased because of the increase in volumes of world sea freight and fleets, as well as the increase in the causes of potential marine accidents, such as ship collisions and stranding. Accordingly, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has requested that the installation and operation of VTS should be applied in areas with high risk of marine traffic, and the request should be included as one of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. In this paper, the fundamental requirements of the radar system for vessel traffic services were analyzed and the analyzing factors were based on the IALA guideline.s This paper also includes results for the requirement and recommendation analysis on detection distance, target separation, and the target position accuracy of X-band radar. Also, to check if it satisfies the requirement of detection distance, range and azimuth separation of small point targets, and target position accuracy from the IALA guidelines, the test was conducted through the radar image acquired at the VTS center, and hence, the validity of the technical performance requirements was confirmed.

일반적으로 VTSO(Vessel Traffic Service Operator)는 양 선박의 충돌위험 정도를 판단할 때, 선박들의 침로와 속력, DCPA(Distance to CPA)와 TCPA(Time to CPA) 그리고 양 선박의 조우 상황 등을 종합적으로 고려한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 VTS(Vessel Traffic Service) 관점에서의 선박충돌위험을 예측하는 방법으로 위험지수(Risk Index, RI)를 선박 조우 상황에 따른 위험, 선박 간 근접거리에 따른 위험 그리고 접근시간에 따른 위험으로 나누어 구하고, VTSO의 위험 태도를 반영한 충돌 위험도를 제안하였다. 위험지표의 각 계수와 위험 태도는 VTSO 설문을 실시하여 구하였고, 제안한 위험도의 타당성 검증을 위하여 부산항의 실제 사고 사례에 ES(Environmental Stress) 모델의 교통 환경 스트레스치(ESS) 을 함께 적용하여 유효성을 확인하였다.

The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities(IALA) model course recommends specific aspects of basic curriculums for Vessel Traffic Services(VTS) operator education such as modules, course hours, contents, etc. Most domestic training programs for newly appointed VTS operators comply with such recommendations. The objective of this study is to determine whether such modules for VTS operator training recommended by the current IALA model course correspond to the actual opinions of VTS operators who are currently working in the field. To this end, the relative importance of basic modules for vessel traffic services operator training was analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method. A questionnaire was designed to include 8 modules recommended by the IALA model course, and the survey results of 52 individuals working at 5 VTS centers were analyzed. The result showed that, unlike the assumption by the IALA, domestic VTS operators viewed Nautical Knowledge as the most important modules, followed by Emergency Situations, Traffic Management, Language, Equipment, VHF Radio, Communication Co-ordination, and Personal Attributes, in that order.

The probabilistic prediction method and procedure of ships traffic for reasonably considering the enlargement of ships and increase in the large vessels of the vessel were established in this paper. However the problem related on prediction method, confidence intervals and selecting the target tonnage considering the enlargement of ship for prediction of ships is lack of results such as design example and study case. Therefore it requires various methodological study.

The national VTS was launched in 1993, and has adopted a harbour-oriented control method which is unable to consider enough characteristics of its work. However, for the past 17 years, the characteristics has changed due to increased amount of vessels. Up to now the domestic Vessel Traffic Service has adopted harbour-oriented control method which is unable to consider enough characteristics of its work. However, developed countries have carried out waters-oriented control method, according to the using areas of ships, to be well considered the characteristics of control for increasing efficiency of it. Especially, VTS of Daesan, Pyeongtaek and Inchon harbour can have confusions of control because of overlapped service areas of it. Therefore, in this paper suggested a new Sector Division that the relevants waters is divided into 3 operational Regions and these are divided into nine sectors again, for the purpose of improving the efficiency and the concentration of VTS.

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.

최근 선박을 이용한 화물운송의 증대, 해양관광 및 레저 활동을 위한 연안 여객선의 운항 증가, 그리고 해양생태계 파괴와 사회적 문제로 확산된 서해안 기름유출 사고 등 해양에 대한 관심이 갈수록 고조되고 있는 상황에서 선박의 안전운항은 필수적인 요건이다. 이러한 상황에서 현재 운용되고 있는 선박의 출항통제기준에 대한 보다 정량적이고 객관적인 검토가 시급한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 선박 운항 시 안전운항과 가장 밀접한 관련을 갖는 파랑을 분석하여, 우리나라 연안항로에 취항하고 있는 대표적인 선형의 여객선들을 대상으로 해상상태 및 선형에 따라 내항성능지표를 이용하여 선박의 항해안전성을 평가하였다. 이러한 결과는 선박출항통제 기준의 개선과 연안 여객선의 안전운항에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

현재 목포 북항과 고하도를 연결하는 목포 연육교의 건설이 추진 중에 있으며, 이 교량은 2009년 말에 완공될 예정이다. 항행수역에 건설되는 교량에 대해서는 선박 운항 측면에서의 안전성 평가가 필수적이지만, 아직 이에 대한 구체적인 지침이 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는, 목포 연육교 평면 배치 계획에 대한 선박 운항 측면에서의 평가 절차를 소개하고, 교량의 계획 단계에서부터 고려되어야 하는 사항들에 대해 검토하였다. 교량의 주경간 등 전반적인 배치 계획에 대한 평가를 위해, 대상 해역에 교량이 건설된 상황을 설정하여 실시간 시뮬레이션(real time simulation) 및 배속 시뮬레이션(fast time simulation) 등의 운항 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 이로부터, 선박과 교각과의 충돌위험도를 추정하기 위해, 항로상에서의 선박의 항행 궤적 분포는 정규분포를 따른다는 가정 하에 통계적 분석을 수행하였다.

이 연구는 항만교통정보센터의 시스템 확충 및 연안 선박교통관리제도의 도입에는 많은 비용이 소요되기 때문에 비용과 편익을 비교하여 타당성을 조사하고자 한다. 따라서 비용과 편익을 분석하는데 중요한 기초자료가 되는 사고예방효과를 추정하고자 한다. 추정의 방법은 거제해역에서 발생한 해양사고를 분석하여 원인요소를 도출한 후 이를 설문문항으로 구성하여 항만교통정보센터의 운영요원을 대상으로 설문을 실시한다. 연안 선박교통관리제도의 도입에 의한 사고예방효과는 충돌사고에서 55.572%, 좌초사고에서 51.667%로 추정되었다. 또한 인적요소와 환경요소에 의한 효과는 높지만 기술적 요소에 의한 효과는 미미한 것으로 분석되었다.

이 연구는 연안 VTS의 타당성을 검토하기 위한 비용편익분석모델을 제안한다. 특히 모델의 가장 중요한 요소인 비용과 편익의 항목 및 정량화 방법을 세분한다. 제안한 모델은 연안 VTS를 포함한 대형 해상교통안전시설의 타당성을 분석하고, 그 우선순위를 결정에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

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.
