선박 식별 시스템 및 필드 시험에 관한 연구

Abstract

In the coastal waters, marine accidents have been occurred frequently by small vessels less than 100 G/T, and especially the accidents by small fishing boats have occupied large amount of those accidents. The main cause of accidents by small vessels has been found that there was not enough navigational equipment, communication tools between ship and ship, ship and traffic control center inland, and so on. Moreover, in spite of the fact that the illegal fishery by Chinese fishing boats in the western waters caused the damage and loss of our natural resources, our government concerned could not prevent those losses efficiently because there is no proper systems for identifying the registration of fishing boats and getting information on their location. Recently, as a method for identifying the vessels, the technology of automatic identification system, radio frequency identification and maritime mobile has been researched and developed rapidly. Such kind of technology should be needed to solve the overall problems described as the above fact. In this paper, the solution would be proposed as a method for identifying small boats in coastal waters. Also, the performance of the developed system of vessel identification has been examined by field experiment. The proposed system could contribute to enhance the safety of life at sea and to reduce marine accidents.
