Abstract

In this paper, we propose a system that tracks the position of the passengers and sailors using a Bluetooth-based Beacon in the ship. The position of the tracking passengers, sometimes fatal emergencies of the rescue team, such as the sinking of the ship is utilized in order to efficiently and quickly rescue the passengers, and the collected data can be utilized additionally by grasping the flow of human traffic patterns. The system proposed in this paper, install MAC data acquisition called AP (Access Point) for each cabin, and in the installed AP retrieves Tag of the information provided to the passenger and collected. A Tag has only its own MAC Address to the privacy, no user information is not collected. All data communication by sending and receiving MAC Address was only to ensure anonymity.

본 논문에서는 선박 내에서 Bluetooth 기반의 Beacon을 활용하여 탑승객 및 선원들의 위치를 추적하는 시스템에 대하여 제안하였다. 추적된 탑승객들의 위치는 선박 침몰과 같은 치명적인 위급상황 발생시 구조대가 효율적으로 신속하게 승객들을 구조하는 데 활용될 수 있으며, 수집된 데이터들은 사용자들의 동선 패턴을 파악하여 부가적으로 활용될 수 있다. 이 논문에서 제안된 시스템은, 선실마다 AP(Access Point)라고 불리는 MAC 데이터 수집 장치를 설치하고, 설치된 AP에서는 탑승자들에게 제공된 Tag의 정보를 검색하고 수집한다. Tag는 개인 정보 보호를 위하여 고유의 MAC Address만을 가지며, 별도의 사용자 정보는 수집하지 않는다. 모든 데이터 통신은 MAC Address만을 송 수신하도록 하여 익명성을 보장하였다.
