As the industry develops, the size of buildings and ships are getting bigger and more complicated. In such a complex space, emergency evacuation systems are required because of the possibility of casualties when an accident situation occurs. However, because present systems are composed of basic devices, such as alarms, emergency exit signs, and announcement regarding the situation and inform only the least information to evacuees, evacuees are not able to judge objectively. To solve these problems, various evacuation algorithms have been proposed. However, these studies aim to search evacuation routes based on specific risk factors or to model the effects of bottlenecks in evacuation situations. Therefore, there is a limit to apply to real systems. Therefore, we propose algorithms to search the optimal evacuation route considering various risk factors such as fire and bottleneck in evacuation situations and to be applicable in actual situation in this paper. Performance evaluation using computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme is effective.

Digital vessels can occur large a disaster at sea because vessels in fire and collision in case of certain unforeseen circumstances. In this paper, We propose digital vessel context monitoring system through risk analysis. We propose environment information analysis system using wireless sensor that have to acquire marine environment and context of marine digital vessel. For conducting simulation, we chose 300 data sets to train the neural network. As a result, we obtained about 96% accuracy for fire risk context and we obtained 88.7% accuracy for body of vessel risk context. To improve the accuracy of the system, we implement a FEC (Forward Error Correction) block. We implemented digital vessel context monitoring system that transmitted to diagnosis result in CDMA.

It is very dangerous for ship‘s fire which occurs from navigating because of it will not be able to expect fire fighting from land so that handle with the oneself to control. Additionally, in the case of passenger ship is more serious for the reason of not only the properly damage but also large life accident can be occurred continuously. When the fire occurs, the many smoke to occur simultaneously as well as the heat from combustion process and the poisonous smoke is brought the life damage as the death from suffocation. The purpose of this study is to examine the smoke movement characteristics in the ship's indoor spaces with fire size and location An experimental study was carried out with two sized of fires and three typed of fire source locations. As the result of it, the smoke and heat diffusion characteristics has been showed the most quick rise curve in the case of comer type fire.

The rail surface defects can cause the high impact load on the track and lead to the progress of the rail fatigue damage and the rail break. In case of the rail break, there is a great deal of risk for derailment, and thus the maintenance criteria for the rail surface defects are of great importance. In this study, using the dynamic train-track interaction analysis program, the impact wheel loads and rail bending stresses according to the depths of the surface defects have been calculated with the input data of the rail surface irregularities measured at 43 spots with surface defects in the ballasted track of high-speed railway. Considering the irregularity of track geometry, the allowable limits of wheel load and rail bending stress have been set, and the maintenance criteria for the rail surface defects was suggested by analyzing the relationship of the maximum values of wheel load and rail bending stress versus depth and width of rail surface defect. The analysis results suggest that the allowable depth of the surface defect is determined approximately 0.2mm from the limit of the impact wheel load.

How meteorological situations have affected human life for survival have been an important element of living or military strategy throughout history. In modern society, overcrowding of cities has brought about many problems. Moreover, high-rise buildings and land cover have been causing abnormal weather conditions. The wind corridor, especially in urban areas has been flowing differently from the dominant weather condition of the surroundings. Therefore, the wind corridor in urban areas can be a main component in protecting major national facilities in urban areas from damage. Especially the wind corridor is a main factor to derive harm from poisonous substances in air. This paper seeks to find out the wind corridor in urban areas and the efficiency of that. In addition to that, it studies how to use the direction to protect major national facilities and areas from damage. It is considered that this study will be useful to make defence project, not only for preventing CBR(chemical, biological, and radiological) terrorism and violent assembly, but also for evacuation of people in case of big accidents or natural disasters.

There have been large explosions at some chemical plants recently. Accidents in chemical plants have been caused mainly by servicing for maintenance. There is a need to find a key target for effective injury prevention in maintenance. In this paper, facilities were selected as a key target and the risk priority numbers of the facilities were calculated in order to prioritize preventative measures. The research method was based on the followings; the list of the facilities is found through injury analysis. Then, the risk of each facility was calculated by the frequency of accidents and the working day loss through injuries. In addition, the risk of the facilities was calculated again by the frequency and the severity based on knowledge and experience of experts. As a result, the facilities in chemical plant maintenance are ranked in order of high to low risk priority number; reactor, dryer, tank lorry, etc. In the future, special measures and attention should be directed according to the risk priority number during the maintenance of chemical plants.

재난은 인류의 발전과 더불어 다양하게 발생되어왔다. 최근 21세기 들어 발생하는 재난은 그 현상이 더욱 다양하고 복잡하며 그 피해의 정도가 대규모로 진행되는 경우가 많아 졌다. 태풍, 집중호우, 강풍, 폭설, 지진, 황사 등의 자연재난은 지구온난화현상으로 국내뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 커다란 영향력을 미치고 있으며, 화재, 구축물의 붕괴, 지하철사고, 테러 및 감염병 등의 사회 재난도 더욱더 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 나아가 사스, 메르스, 지카 바이러스 및 대형 테러 등 전 세계적 차원의 사회 재난의 발생 또한 급증하고 있다. 이와 같이 현대사회에서 발생하는 재난는 개인이나 국가의 정책만으로 예방하고 관리할 수 없는 특성이 있다. 따라서, 자본주의 경제의 한축을 이루고 있는 기업의 재난을 관리하여 연속성을 확보하고 더나아가 리질리언스(Resilence)를 보장하기 위한 일환으로 2007년 7월 재해경감을 위한 기업의 자율 활동 지원에 관한 법률(이하, 기업재해경감법 이라함.)이 공포된 지 약 10여년이 경과하였다. 이는 법 제도화를 통하여 기업의 재해경감활동을 지원하기 취지에서 출발한 것 이다. 그 후 현재 까지 어느 정도의 발전이 있었지만 경과 년 수에 비해 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 이후 그 기업들이 좀 더 원활하게 재해경감활동을 위한 계획을 수립, 실행, 검토 및 유지하기 위한 지침으로서 기업재난관리표준을 2010년 4월 2일 제정하였고 이후 재해경감활동 수립계획을 제정하여 시행하기에 이르렀다. 또한, 기업재난관리표준은 제정된 이후 2013년 12월 9일 전면 개정작업을 통해 경영관리 프로세스 모델(Plan-Do-Check-Act)이 적용된 관리체계를 접목시키고 용어정의를 국제표준과 일치시켜 기업재해경감활동 상의 혼선을 방지하기 위한 노력을 하였다. 현 정부에서는 주무부처가 바뀌고 조직이 변화되어 행정안전부고시 제2017-1호(2017.07.26.일)로 개정되어 현재에 이르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기업재난관리표준과 연관된 제반 법령 및 규정 등에 대한 법적성격 과 지위를 규명하고, 기업재난관리표준의 관련분야 적용 시 문제점 및 바람직한 제도개선 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

The number of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles have increased gradually by virtue of korea government's urban air quality improvement policy since 1998. Although the use of CNG as transportation fuel gives environmental benefits, there is a possibility of huge accidents from unexpected fire. Therefore, needs for the guarantee of safety are indispensible for the reliable operation of CNG vehicles. A check valve is a safety device which prevents leakage of the pressurized fuel charged in a fuel tank. Durability of this component should be guaranteed in spite of repeated operation. This research has performed durability tests of a CNG check valve regarding the repeated usage, extreme chattering, and the effect of compressor oil.Although a check valve used for CNG vehicle satisfies validation requirements in the test results, it has been found that problem in the function of leakage prevention in a check valve could take place in the case of prolonged exposure to compressor oil.

Especially in Korea, LNG terminals commonly have huge scale because of the high demand of natural gas, and for the safe operation of terminal wide observation on temperature is necessary. That is the reason why the terminal has thermometer all over the facility but another information, flow rate, is insufficient. By the way, in pipeline, temperature difference is highly related with flow rate and with some simple assumptions, we can estimate flow rate. And through the steady state data reconciliation, the flow rate data become more reliable. In this research, we will study about flow rate data reconciliation method for LNG terminal and case study.

Owing to increase of the large-scaled, high-raised and complexed building construction, the escape design of the building became very important issue to insure the safety of occupant. Specially, it is demanded to have building escape regulation considering for inconvenient movers such as disables elders pregnant women. However, building regulations for inconvenient movers are divided into "Regulation of Escape and Fire-prevention of Building" and "Act on the Promotion and Guarantee of Access for the Disabled, the Aged and Pregnant Women to Facilities and Information". But, for the escape security of inconvenient movers, the connection of each regulation are necessary. So this study suggested the improvement direction of the building escape regulation considering inconvenient movers through the compared analysis on the "Regulation of Escape and Fire-prevention of Building" and "Act on the Promotion and Guarantee of Access for the Disabled, the Aged and Pregnant Women to Facilities and Information".
