  • Trade turnover between asia including our country and China and South America including Brazil the Chile is increasing continuously. That key item is diversified very from the raw materials to the agriculture and marine products, the industrial product and the mineral. The international transportation of these freight mainly depends in the aircraft and the container liner. But, in order to pass through the most various port of call is makes transshipment cargo and the long lead-time. so the goods expense of the style increases. The research proposed logistics network's construction between the main harbors of Korea and Ecuador. These nation according to great circle navigation is contiguous geographically in order to confront Pacific Ocean. These nation is contiguous geographically in order to confront Pacific Ocean by the great circle navigation. Specially Korea will become the hub-port of Northeast Asia and South America, which is caused by direct logistics lines's establishment.

  • Weather routing method is one of the best practices of SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan) for fuel-efficient operation of ship. KR is carrying out a basic research for development of the weather routing algorithm and making a monitoring system by FOC (Fuel Oil Consumption) analysis compared to the reference, which is the great circle route. The added resistances applied global sea/weather data can be calculated using ship data, and the results can be corrected to ship motions. The global sea/weather data such as significant wave height, ocean current and wind data can be used to calculate the added resistances. The reference route in a usual navigation is the great circle route, which is the shortest distance route. The global sea/weather data can be divided into grids, and the nearest grid data from a ship's position can be used to apply a ocean going vessel's sea conditions. Powell method is used as an optimized routing technique to minimize FOC considered sea/weather conditions, and FOC result can be compared with the great circle route result.

  • Recently, unmanned systems have been studied and developed in various areas including aircrafts, automobiles and vessels. In addition, many researches about unmanned systems in Korea have been studying actively with the advancement of IT However, it is not satisfied with the result of the researches and developments. Bemuse of the reason we've here tried to make a very small USV which is a barge type. We applied the Great circle navigation calculation based on GPS to the autonomous navigation algorithm and used the LabVIEW 8.2 developed by NI corp. for programming The engine and rudder were controlled by pulse width modulation method. The engine system was composed of the DC motor and ESC(Electronic Speed Controller). It was also applied by the direct cooling system using DC motor pump. A very small USV was designed and made by ourself and it was verified the effectiveness of autonomous navigation algorithm through the tests at the sea.

  • 최근 몇 년사이 CCTV에 대한 활용도와 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, CCTV의 해상도 또한 SD급 CCTV에서 HD급 CCTV로 대부분 전환되고 있는 상황이다. HD급 CCTV는 고화질, 고해상도를 제공하는 장점을 갖지만, 많은 데이터 량으로 인해 실시간 처리가 어려운 문제점 또한 포함하고 있다. 또한 CCTV는 지능형 CCTV로의 기술적인 진보를 거듭하고 있으며, 대표적인 solution으로 증강현실(AR:Augmented Reality)을 꼽을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 HD-CCTV의 최대 장점이라고 할 수 있는 실시간 영상에 선박의 정보(AIS : Automatic Identification System)을 결합하여 실시간으로 항만을 모니터링 하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 또한 750mm Zoom Lens를 탑재한 PanTilt 장비를 이용하여 선박을 targeting 하는 시스템 또한 구현하였다. 증강현실을 이용하여 실시간 영상과 선박 정보를 결합하였으며, 이를 구현하기 위해 perspective projection 방법을 통해 3차원 공간좌표계를 2차원으로 투영하였다. 실시간 처리를 위해 입력영상을 Block으로 분할하여 목적 좌표를 검색하였으며, 선박정보의 부드러운 이동을 위해 Dead Reckon 기법과 linear prediction 방법을 이용하여 선박 위치를 예측하였다. 마지막으로 삼각측량법에 기반하여 현재 PanTilt 장비를 목적된 장소로 이동시키는 시스템을 구현하였다.

  • In 1969, Y.J. Yun wrote the terrestrial navigation text book that discussed earth sciences, aides to navigation, chart and publications, tide and tidal current, piloting, rhumb-line sailing, great circle sailing grounded on the hand-on background and theory. It has still been used as a principle text book in a lot of maritime academies and schools. And many contents and definitions came from other terrestrial navigation books published in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Japan. But some of them have caused the misunderstanding because they had no enough explanation and explained by incorrect items. In this study, we have found out the problems in the terms course and heading which are related with the direction of the vessel movement, and proposed the amended definitions in order to prevent the misunderstanding and confusion. of them.

  • In the restricted sea way such as fair way in harbor, narrow channel etc, the safe ship-handling is a very important problem, which is greatly related with turning ability of ships. It is of great importance that ship-handlers can grasp the position of pivoting point varying with time increase at any moment for relevant steering activities. Mean while, in advanced ship-building countries they study and investigated pivoting point related with turning characteristics, hut their main interest lies in ship design, not in safe ship controlling and maneuvering. In this regards it is the purpose of this paper to provide ship-handlers better under standing of pivoting point location together with turning characteristics and then to help them in safe ship-handling by presenting fact that pivoting points vary according to configuration of ships. The author calculated the variation of pivoting point as per time increase for various type of vessels, based on the hydrodynamic derivatives obtained at test of Davidson Laboratory of Stevens Institutes of Technology , New Jersey, U.S.A. The results were classified and investigated according to the magnitude of block coefficient , length-beam ratio, length-draft ratio, rudder area ratio ete, and undermentioned results were obtained. (1) The trajectory of pivoting point due to variation of rudder angle are all the same at any time, though the magenitude of turning circle are changed variously. (2) The moving of pivoting point is affected by the magnitude of block coefficient, length-beam ratio, length-draft ratio, however the effect by rudder area ratio might be disregarded. (3) In controlling and maneuvering of vessels in harbor, ship-handlers might regard that the pivoting point would be placed on 0.2~0.3L forward from center of gravity at initial stage. (4) The pivoting point of VLCC or container feeder vessels which have block coefficient more than 0.8 and length-beam ratio less than 6.5 are located on or over bow in the steady turning. (5) When a vessel intends to avoid some floating obstruction such as buoy forward around her eourse, the ship-handler might consider that the pivoting point would be close by bow in ballast condition and cloase by center of gravity in full-loaded condition.
