Network), etc., may be composed of various commonly used communication networks.

Hereinafter, various embodiments according to the configuration of the aforementioned IoT and drone-based port control device 100 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings below.

2 is a flowchart illustrating each step of providing pier information through the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step S210, the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 according to an embodiment may acquire a plurality of pier information indicating a quay situation through a drone or a plurality of sensors.

Specifically, the plurality of pier information is acquired through a drone or a plurality of sensors, and the complexity of the pier is indicating the degree of complexity, weather information on the situation of the pier, whether it is anchored to correspond to anchoring guidance, It may include information such as the time point, the height of a wave within a preset range according to the location of the pier, whether it is low tide or high tide, and the number of ships available on the pier determined according to low tide or high tide.

In addition, the drone and the plurality of sensors may be provided or located on one side of the pier, and the drone operation and the sensing operation of the plurality of sensors may be performed by the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 . Such a drone can be interpreted as a term meaning an unmanned aerial vehicle, but due to the recent development of drone technology, manned drones are also being developed and commercialized according to the development, so the description of 'drone' disclosed throughout the specification does not refer to unmanned or manned vehicles. It may be desirable to understand the containing description. In addition, the plurality of sensors include a temperature sensor, a light sensor for light detection, an acoustic sensor, a vibration sensor, a distance sensor for detecting the distance between an incoming vessel and the pier, a water level sensor for sensing the high tide or low tide of the pier, It may include various IoT sensors capable of sensing the situation of the pier and the ship and communicating the sensed information, including an infrared sensor or an image sensor that detects the entry of a ship and the size of the ship.

In step S220, the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 according to an embodiment may acquire ship information from IoT communication equipment included in a ship adjacent to the pier.

Specifically, the IoT communication equipment included in the ship communicates using a wireless communication network if it is far from the pier, and if it is close to the pier, it is securely connected to the IoT communication system built on the pier to send and receive pier information and ship information. have. In addition, vessel information includes vessel size information, vessel weight information, vessel entry purpose, number of vessels entering per hour, number of vessels departing per hour, vessel speed, vessel schedule, vessel specificity (e.g., oil It may include information on whether or not it is loaded, whether it is damaged, etc.), and the number of passengers on board the ship.

In step S230 , the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 according to an embodiment may determine some pier information among a plurality of pier information based on the ship information.

Specifically, the IoT-based and drone-based port control device 100 may determine some pier information from among the plurality of pier information based on the complexity of the pier included in the plurality of pier information. For example, if the number of ships moored at the pier is complicated, the amount of information required to enter and anchor the pier may increase. The image of the free space of the pier may be included, and various sensing information about the pier and the ship obtained from a plurality of sensors disposed on the pier may be included. The IoT and drone-based port control device 100 may acquire information about a pier and a ship adjacent to the pier by determining some pier information among a plurality of pier information based on the amount of information determined according to the complexity.

In another embodiment, the IoT-based and drone-based port control device 100 determines a priority for determining some of the plurality of pier information based on the ship information, and determines a portion of the pier information determined based on the priority. can be provided to IoT communication equipment included in ships adjacent to the wharf.

Specifically, the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 has complexity, when the complexity is expected to be highest, weather information, and the height of waves within a preset range according to the location of the pier, in the order of whether it is low tide or high tide A priority for determining some pier information from among a plurality of pier information may be determined based on a highly assigned weight.

For example, if the size of the vessel according to the vessel information is larger than the preset size, the highest weight can be given to the complexity because the complexity of the pier can be obtained first, and the determination of whether to enter, the path of entry, etc. can be performed. have. In addition, since entering the pier avoiding the time when the complexity is expected to be the highest based on the schedule of a vessel larger than the preset size or the vessel is the next most important, the second highest at the time when the complexity is expected to be the highest Weight can be given, and as the number of passengers on the ship according to the ship information increases, obtaining the weather information for the adjacent pier and providing the information to the passengers can be given the next priority. A high weight may be given. In addition, if the height of waves within the preset range according to the location of the pier is high, if the ship is loaded with oil according to the ship information, there is a somewhat high risk of entering or anchoring the pier. A high weight may be given to the height of the 4th order, and a high weight may be given to whether it is low tide or high tide because the number of available ships at the pier changes depending on whether it is low tide or high tide.

The IoT and drone-based port control device 100 determines the pier information of some of the plurality of pier information based on the weights assigned to different sizes as described above, thereby providing pier information more suitable for the ship information, thereby providing a smooth operation of the ship. Can assist with dock entry.

In another embodiment, when the number of passengers on the ship according to the ship information is equal to or greater than the preset number of passengers, the weight assigned to the weather information on the pier may be updated by one step higher. Alternatively, if the number of passengers on the ship according to the ship information is more than the preset number of passengers, the height, complexity, and complexity of the waves within the preset range according to the weather information and the location of the pier are expected to be the highest, and whether the tide is low or high A higher weight can be assigned in the order of whether or not If the number of passengers on board is large according to the ship information, if the weather information at the pier is in a typhoon situation or heavy rain situation, there is a high risk of human damage if the passengers are disembarked. can be adjusted.

In this way, it is possible to support the smooth entry of the vessel to the pier by determining some of the pier information that is preferentially provided based on the vessel information.

According to an embodiment, the number of drone-captured images indicating the state of the pier included in some pier information may be determined based on the size of the vessel. For example, if a vessel of 1000t or more in size enters the pier, the more the number of images taken by drones of ships and piers anchored at the pier, the more accurately it indicates the situation on the pier. The number of images taken by drones can be determined in proportion to the size of the ship because it is possible to easily understand the space required for anchoring, the congestion level of the pier, and the route to the pier through drone-photographed images so that the vessel can enter smoothly. As such, some of the pier information may be determined based on the number of drone-captured images determined according to the size of the vessel.

In an embodiment, when the size of the vessel entering the pier is less than 1000 t, the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 may not transmit the drone photographing request and the drone flight request to the drone. For example, the number of times of entry into the pier of relatively small ships of less than 1000t class is relatively higher than that of ships of 1000t class or larger. Consumption can be large. In addition, in the case of a small vessel, it may be possible to smoothly enter by sensing information obtained from a plurality of sensors provided at the pier in addition to information obtained from the drone. The IoT and drone-based port control device 100 may reduce costs for pier control by not transmitting a drone shooting request and a drone flight request when a vessel of less than 1000 t class enters the pier.

The IoT and drone-based port control device 100 according to an embodiment may obtain abnormal state information indicating the abnormal state of the vessel from the IoT sensor included in the pier when the vessel adjacent to the pier is anchored at the pier. , an abnormal state notification may be provided based on the abnormal state information. In addition, a drone flight request and a drone photographing request may be transmitted to the drone based on the abnormal state information.

When abnormal state information is obtained from a ship, the risk of human damage to passengers on board or the risk of an accident according to the defective state of the ship may increase. It is possible to provide an abnormal state notification indicating an abnormal state of the vessel based on the information, and transmit a drone flight request and a drone photographing request to the drone based on the abnormal state information. In addition, the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 may transmit a drone broadcast request to the drone based on the acquired abnormal state information. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent accidents in advance by quickly and easily identifying and notifying the degree of defects and abnormal conditions of the ship.

The IoT and drone-based port control device 100 is a temperature sensor, a light sensor for light detection, an acoustic sensor, a vibration sensor, a distance detection sensor that detects the distance between an entering vessel and the pier, and the high tide or low tide of the pier. Anchor at the wharf using various IoT sensors that can sense the status of the pier and the vessel and communicate the sensed information, including a water level sensor that senses, an infrared sensor or an image sensor that detects the entry of a vessel and the size of a vessel It is possible to acquire abnormal state information (fire, explosion, gas leak and damage, etc.) of the vessel that has been installed and transmits such abnormal state information to the control center to notify the control center of the dangerous situation if it is determined to be a dangerous situation according to the abnormal state of the vessel can be provided so that the manager can recognize this can be easily dealt with.

In addition, when a dangerous situation such as fire or gas leak is detected from the ship, a notification of a dangerous situation and evacuation is provided to adjacent personnel through a drone speaker and a speaker provided at the pier, thereby minimizing human damage due to a dangerous situation. .

According to an embodiment, some of the pier information is automatically destroyed after a preset time elapses, and the preset time is the security level of information included in some pier information, the amount of information included in some pier information, and some pier information It may be determined based on whether or not a drone photographed image indicating the condition of the pier is included in the pier, and the number of drone photographed images.

For example, the preset time includes the security level of information included in some pier information, the amount of information included in some pier information, whether some of the pier information includes a drone shot image indicating the condition of the pier, and the drone shot image It may be determined by the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 based on a weight that is highly given in the order of the number of .

Specifically, the higher the security level of information included in some pier information, the greater damage can be expected in case of information leakage because security-sensitive military information and business information are included. Because it is the most important, a high weight may be given as the first priority to the security level of information included in some pier information. In addition, as the amount of information included in some pier information increases, it is desirable for security to include general and multi-faceted information about the pier and automatically destroy it within a short time. can be given In addition, when drone-photographed images of piers and ships are included, there is a high risk of leakage of pier information, but the amount of information included in some pier information includes a large amount of information including drone-photographed images. A high weight can be given to whether or not the 3rd priority is included, and the determination of the number of drone-shot images is performed after the determination of whether or not drone-shot images are included. can be given.

In another embodiment, since the higher the security level, the higher the security level, the higher the security level of the captured image, so the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 is proportional to the security level of information included in some pier information. Accordingly, it is possible to determine whether or not drone-shot images are included and the weight given to the number of drone-shot images is one step higher.

In another embodiment, the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 may determine a preset time for automatically destroying some pier information in proportion to the size of the vessel according to the vessel information. If the size of the vessel is large, since there are many military vessels, the preset time may be determined in proportion to the size of the vessel in order to maintain confidentiality of military information.

In another embodiment, in the IoT and drone-based port control device 100, a preset time for automatically destroying some pier information may be determined in proportion to the occurrence of IoT communication delay. As IoT communication delay occurs, the time to check and utilize some pier information may be reduced can decide

The IoT-based and drone-based port control device 100 determines a preset time at which some pier information is destroyed based on the weights given differently as described above, thereby minimizing the damage that some pier information is leaked to the outside. and more efficient vessel and pier control.

Referring to the drawings, the port control platform based on IoT and drones according to an embodiment may be operated based on a control station provided at the pier. The control center (or the IoT and drone-based port control device 100 ) may acquire a plurality of pier information through a drone and a plurality of sensors ( S310 ). Thereafter, ship information may be acquired from the IoT communication equipment included in the ship adjacent to the pier (S320). Thereafter, the control center may determine some of the plurality of pier information based on the acquired ship information (S330), and provide the determined part of the pier information to the IoT communication equipment included in the ship adjacent to the pier (S340). .

The IoT and drone-based port control platform operated through this process provides the current status, including the complexity of the current pier, to ships adjacent to the pier so that the vessel can smoothly enter the pier, and drone shooting is also performed together. By operating it, it is possible to effectively acquire information on the pier and at the same time minimize the damage to human life by quickly identifying the abnormality of the vessel anchored at the pier and the dangerous situation depending on the presence or absence of the abnormality.
