Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a server, a method, and a computer program for deriving an optimal route for a ship. [Background technology]

[0002] The Speed ​​Reduction Algorithm (SRA) is used to analyze the reduction in ship speed due to the influence of weather factors and current factors and calculate the ship's position.

[0003] The ship speed reduction algorithm is also used to evaluate ship performance speed. To calculate ship performance speed, a method is used to analyze the speed reduction curve for the entire voyage, which calculates the degree to which the ship's speed is affected by weather and ocean current factors.

[0004] In other words, the vessel speed reduction algorithm is used to calculate the vessel performance speed and vessel position, which are the main information for determining the vessel's course. At this time, the accuracy of the vessel speed reduction curve is key to accurately calculating the vessel performance speed and vessel position.

[0005] Regarding the technology for analyzing the speed of a ship and providing the ship's route, Korean Patent No. 10-2006925, which is a prior art, discloses a ship route and speed determination device, a ship route and speed determination method, and a recording medium.

[0006] Conventionally, recommended routes have been provided by uniformly reflecting a fixed speed reduction curve for each ship, even though each ship is affected to different degrees by wind, waves, and ocean currents. In other words, instead of a speed reduction curve for an individual ship, a speed reduction curve for a ship type or sister ship (same ship type or fleet) was used, adjusted to a predetermined ratio, and therefore it was not possible to provide an optimal recommended route that reflected the sailing characteristics of each ship.

[0007] In addition, in the past, it was not possible to obtain a ship's position and navigation information without receiving an operation report for each individual ship through the shipping company, so an algorithm that was not significantly different from the existing speed reduction algorithm had to be used.

[0008] As described above, the conventional method has a drawback in that the accuracy of the optimum recommended route for a ship is low because the actual sailing characteristics of each individual ship cannot be reflected. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0026] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an optimal route derivation server according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the optimal route derivation server 100 may include a storage unit 110, a corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120, a speed reduction curve derivation unit 130, and a route determination unit 140. The optimal route derivation server 100 derives a second corrected vessel speed that takes into account the influence of wind and a third corrected vessel speed that takes into account the influence of waves from the vessel speed for each operation, and then derives a first speed reduction curve for wind and a second speed reduction curve for waves based on the second corrected vessel speed. The optimal route for the vessel can be derived using a vessel speed reduction algorithm to which the first or second speed reduction curve is applied. The process of deriving an optimal route for the vessel through each unit of the optimal route derivation server 100 will now be described.

[0028] The storage unit 110 may match and store oceanographic data, including wind, wave height, and ocean current, for each time and location included in operation data for each operation acquired from an Automatic Identification System (AIS) installed on the ship. Here, the AIS is an automatic tracking system using a transceiver installed on the ship, and is primarily used in ship traffic services. For example, the AIS can prevent collisions between ships at sea by detecting the AIS signature of a ship using a satellite. Such an AIS may display, for example, the ship's name, location, speed, type, expected time of departure, expected time of arrival at the port, etc. The operation data may include the ship's location, course, speed, etc. for each operation.

[0029] The corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120 may derive a first corrected vessel speed that eliminates the influence of ocean currents from the vessel speed for each operation. The corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120 may calculate the first corrected vessel speed, for example, based on the following equation 1.

[0030] First corrected ship speed = SOG (Speed ​​of Ground) - [Current Factor] (Equation 1)

[0031] Referring to Equation 1, the speed of a ship (SOG) may refer to the speed of a ship on the sea measured by a satellite, i.e., the speed of the ship through the water. The current factor refers to the value of the ocean current that a ship encounters during its course. By analyzing the ocean current at each position along the ship's course, it is possible to understand the impact of the ocean current on the ship at each position. Such an ocean current can be, for example, V current The reason for deriving the first corrected vessel speed by eliminating the influence of ocean currents from the vessel speed is to analyze only the influence of wind and waves on the vessel speed.

[0032] The corrected ship speed derivation unit 120 may derive a second corrected ship speed that takes into account the influence of wind at each position on the first corrected ship speed, and a third corrected ship speed that takes into account the influence of waves at each position on the first corrected ship speed.

[0033] The speed reduction curve deriving unit 130 may derive a first speed reduction curve due to wind and a second speed reduction curve due to waves based on the basic ship speed, the second corrected ship speed, and the third corrected ship speed. Here, the process of deriving the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0034] 2 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a process of deriving a first speed reduction curve according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the corrected vessel speed deriving unit 120 may derive a second corrected vessel speed 200 based on the wind direction and wind speed at each position.

[0035] For example, the corrected ship speed deriving unit 120 calculates the wind speed 201 (W p , Wind's speed) and wind direction 202 (Wind's angle on the bow). For example, when the wind direction 202 is 0° and the wind speed 201 is 50 kn, the corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120 may derive the second corrected vessel speed 200 as 80 kn. In another example, when the wind direction 202 is 180° and the wind speed 201 is 20 kn, the corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120 may derive the second corrected vessel speed 200 as 103 kn.

[0036] The speed reduction curve derivation unit 130 may derive a first speed reduction curve 210 for the wind based on the base speed of the vessel and the second corrected vessel speed 200. For example, the speed reduction curve derivation unit 130 may derive the first speed reduction curve 210 including a ratio 211 of the first corrected vessel speed to the base speed of the vessel (e.g., 100 kn) for each wind direction 203.

[0037] 3 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a process of deriving a second speed reduction curve according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the corrected vessel speed deriving unit 120 may derive a third corrected vessel speed 300 based on the wave direction and wave height at each position.

[0038] For example, the corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120 may derive the third corrected vessel speed 300 according to the wave height 301 and the wave direction 302. For example, when the wave direction 302 is 0° and the wave height 301 is 10h, the corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120 may derive the third corrected vessel speed 300 as 40 kn. In another example, when the wave direction 302 at the bow is 180° and the wave height 301 is 4h, the corrected vessel speed derivation unit 120 may derive the third corrected vessel speed 300 as 96 kn.

[0039] The speed reduction curve derivation unit 130 may derive a second speed reduction curve 310 for waves based on the base speed of the vessel and the third corrected vessel speed 300. For example, the speed reduction curve derivation unit 130 may derive the second speed reduction curve 310 including a ratio 311 of the first corrected vessel speed to the base speed of the vessel (e.g., 100 kn) for each wave direction 303.

[0040] Returning to FIG. 1 again, the route determination unit 140 may derive the optimal route for the vessel using a vessel speed reduction algorithm to which the first speed reduction curve or the second speed reduction curve is applied.

[0041] The route determination unit 140 may derive a priority of the influence of the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve through a comparison between the second corrected vessel speed and the third corrected vessel speed at each position. For example, the route determination unit 140 may derive a priority of the influence of the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve based on whether the vessel speed is affected by wind or waves through a comparison between the second corrected vessel speed and the third corrected vessel speed at each position.

[0042] For example, the route determination unit 140 may derive a priority of the influence of the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve for each of multiple navigation sections, or may derive a priority of the influence of the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve for all navigation sections.

[0043] The route determination unit 140 may derive an optimal route for the vessel using a vessel speed reduction algorithm that applies either a first speed reduction curve or a second speed reduction curve based on the derived priority of the influence degree. For example, if the derived priority of the influence degree is, for example, first speed reduction curve > second speed reduction curve, the route determination unit 140 may derive an optimal route for the vessel using a vessel speed reduction algorithm that applies the first speed reduction curve because wind has a greater impact on the vessel speed than waves. In another example, if the derived priority of the influence degree is, for example, second speed reduction curve > first speed reduction curve, the route determination unit 140 may derive an optimal route for the vessel using a vessel speed reduction algorithm that applies the second speed reduction curve because waves have a greater impact on the vessel speed than wind.

[0044] In yet another example, the route determination unit 140 may derive the optimal route for each navigation section using a vessel speed reduction algorithm that applies either a first speed reduction curve or a second speed reduction curve for each navigation section.

[0045] For example, if the first speed reduction curve has a higher priority in impact than the second speed reduction curve for the first navigation section, the route determination unit 140 may use a vessel speed reduction algorithm that applies the first speed reduction curve to derive the optimal route for the first navigation section, and if the second speed reduction curve has a higher priority in impact than the first speed reduction curve for the second navigation section, the route determination unit 140 may use a vessel speed reduction algorithm that applies the second speed reduction curve to derive the optimal route for the second navigation section.

[0046] The storage unit 110 may update the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve for each operation. For example, if the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve are derived by the speed reduction curve derivation unit 130, the storage unit 110 updates the first speed reduction curve and the second speed reduction curve each time operation data acquired through the operation of the ship is stored, thereby providing an optimized route for the ship and improving the accuracy of the optimal route.

[0047] As a result, the present invention provides advantages such as applicability to various ships due to the large amount of data and ease of collection and use, by using operation data generated through the actual operation of the ship without receiving operation reports of the ship from the shipping company, and high usability due to the free integration and matching with location-based global ocean data.

[0048] The optimum route derivation server 100 may be executed by a computer program stored on a medium including a sequence of commands for deriving an optimum route for a ship. When executed by a computing device, the computer program may include a sequence of commands for: matching and storing oceanographic data, including wind, wave height, and ocean current, for each time and position included in operation data for each operation acquired from an automatic identification system (AIS) installed on the ship; deriving a first corrected vessel speed by excluding the influence of ocean current from the speed of the ship for each operation; deriving a second corrected vessel speed by adding the first corrected vessel speed to the first corrected vessel speed and considering the influence of wind at each position; and deriving a third corrected vessel speed by adding the first corrected vessel speed to the first corrected vessel speed and considering the influence of waves at each position; deriving a first speed reduction curve due to wind and a second speed reduction curve due to waves based on the basic speed of the ship, the second corrected vessel speed, and the third corrected vessel speed; and deriving an optimum route for the ship using a ship speed reduction algorithm to which the first speed reduction curve or the second speed reduction curve is applied.

[0049] Figure 4 is a flowchart of a method for deriving an optimum ship route executed in an optimum route derivation server according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 4, the method for deriving an optimum ship route executed in the optimum route derivation server 100 includes steps that are processed in time series according to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3. Therefore, even if content is omitted below, it also applies to the method for deriving an optimum ship route executed in the optimum route derivation server 100 according to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3.

[0050] In step S410, the optimum route derivation server 100 may match and store oceanographic data including wind, wave height, and ocean current for each time and position included in the operation data for each operation obtained from the automatic identification device installed on the ship.

[0051] In step S420, the optimal route derivation server 100 may derive a first corrected ship speed for each operation by eliminating the influence of ocean currents from the ship speed, a second corrected ship speed by adding the first corrected ship speed to the influence of wind at each position, and a third corrected ship speed by adding the first corrected ship speed to the influence of waves at each position.

[0052] In step S430, the optimum route derivation server 100 may derive a first speed reduction curve due to wind and a second speed reduction curve due to waves based on the basic speed of the vessel, the second corrected vessel speed and the third corrected vessel speed.

[0053] In step S440, the optimum route derivation server 100 may derive an optimum route for the vessel using a vessel speed reduction algorithm to which the first speed reduction curve or the second speed reduction curve is applied.

[0054] In the above description, steps S410 to S440 may be further divided into additional steps or combined into fewer steps depending on the embodiment of the present invention. Also, some steps may be omitted as necessary, and the order of steps may be changed.

[0055] The method for deriving an optimum route for a ship, which is executed in the optimum route derivation server described with reference to Figures 1 to 4, may be embodied in the form of a computer program stored in a medium executed by a computer or a recording medium including instructions executable by a computer. Also, the method for deriving an optimum route for a ship, which is executed in the optimum route derivation server described with reference to Figures 1 to 4, may be embodied in the form of a computer program stored in a medium executed by a computer.
