Abstract

In recent years, dangerous materials and gas leak accidents have been frequently occurred. The hazardous materials storage facility accidents are not rapidly controlled when a leak is detected, unlike other chemical plants can be controled. Externally, the human has to approach and respond to the source of leaking directly. As a result, the human and material damage are likely to larger result in the process. The current approach has been passive response after ringing the alarm. In this study, the suggested tracking system of the leak resource is designed system to track the resource actively by utilizing the mobile sensor robot platform, which can be made easily through recent rapid development technology, is verified through prototype system. Thus, a suggested system should pave the way for minimizing the spread and damage of the accident based on the exact site situation of the initial leak and quick and early measures.

화학물질의 사용 증대와 더불어 위험물 및 독성가스 누출 사고가 빈번하게 일어나고 있다. 그 중에서도 위험물 저장설비 사고는 누출이 감지되었을 때 대응하기 위한 초동 조치가 가장 중요하지만, 전적으로 조업자에 의한 경험에 비중이 크기 때문에, 잘못된 판단으로 인한 더 큰 물적, 인적 피해가 발생할 가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 기존 고정식 감지기를 통한 알람 발생 후 수동적인 대응을 취하는 현 접근 방식에서 벗어나, 오픈소스기술을 적용하여 쉽게 제작이 가능한 로봇 플랫폼에서 작동하는 이동식 센서를 활용한 능동적인 누출원 추적 시스템을 설계하였다. 아울러 프로토타입 시스템의 검증을 통해 누출 초기의 정확한 현장 상황파악 및 조기대응을 바탕으로 사고의 확산 및 피해 최소화의 기틀을 마련하고자 하였다.
