A Study on ENC Data Translation for Mobile Device

Recent paradime for convergrnce technology between traditional maritime industry and ICT has spotlighted, especially applied for the prevention of accidents and for remedies. With the introduction of samrt ship and recent addvance in the communication technology, the accidents in coastal areas has not been reduced. The reason is that those accidents were caused by small vessels which have not fully eqipped with navigational and communication system. In this paper, we introduce a electronics chart system for mobile devices based on international standard, S-57, in small vessels. For this system, we propose a data transformation scheme applicable to mobile device. Finally, we illustrate some experiments and results of the system which is implemented with Android platform.
