Several that analyzed the effectiveness of traffic safety facilities a method of comparing changes in the number of accidents, accident severity, speed through traffic accident data before and after installation or speed data collected from vehicle detection systems (VDS). , when traffic accident data is used, it takes a long time to collect because must be collected for at least one year before and after installation. , the road environment may change during this period, such as the addition of other traffic safety facilities in addition to the facilities to be analyzed. , the location of the VDSs for speed data is often different from the location where analysis is required, and there is a problem in that the investigators are exposed to the risk of traffic accident during on-site investigation. Therefore, this study a case study by establishing a methodology to determine effectiveness video images with a drone, extracting data using a program, and comparing vehicle driving speeds before and after speed reduction facilities. Vehicle speed surveys using drones are much safer than observational surveys conducted on highways and have the advantage of tracking speed changes along the vehicle, it is expected that they will be used for various traffic surveys in the future.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the current state of drone terrorism response at such critical national facilities and derive improvements, especially to identify problems in laws and systems to effectively utilize the anti-drone system and present directions for improvement. Method: A qualitative research method was used for this study by analyzing a variety of issues not discussed in existing research papers and policy documents through in-depth interviews with subject matter experts. In-depth interviews were conducted based on 12 semi-structured interviews by selecting 16 experts in the field of anti-drone and terrorism in Korea. The interview contents were recorded with the prior consent of the study participants, transcribed back to the Korean file, and problems and improvement measures were derived through coding. For this, the threats and types were analyzed based on the cases of drone terrorism occurring abroad and measures to establish anti-drone system were researched from the perspective of laws and systems by evaluating the possibility of drone terrorism in the Republic of Korea. Result: As a result of the study, improvements to some of the problems that need to be preceded in order to effectively respond to drone terrorism at critical national facilities in the Republic of Korea, have been identified. First, terminologies related to critical national facilities and drone terrorism should be clearly defined and reflected in the Integrated Defense Act and the Terrorism Prevention Act. Second, the current concept of protection of critical national facilities should evolve from the current ground-oriented protection to a three-dimensional protection concept that considers air threats and the Integrated Defense Act should reflect a plan to effectively install the anti-drone system that can materialize the concept. Third, a special law against flying over critical national facilities should be enacted. To this end, legislation should be enacted to expand designated facilities subject to flight restrictions while minimizing the range of no fly zone, but the law should be revised so that the two wings of "drone industry development" and "protection of critical national facilities" can develop in a balanced manner. Fourth, illegal flight response system and related systems should be improved and reestablished. For example, it is necessary to prepare a unified manual for general matters, but thorough preparation should be made by customizing it according to the characteristics of each facility, expanding professional manpower, and enhancing response training. Conclusion: The focus of this study is to present directions for policy and technology development to establish an anti-drone system that can effectively respond to drone terrorism and illegal drones at critical national facilities going forward.

In this study, the process of drone photography, automatic volume calculation, total floor area conversion, and waste calculation was constructed as a QGIS plug-in to predict the demolition waste (DW) generated in an aged area where drawing information or building information is uncertain. Through a case study, the high consistency between the automatically calculated volume using the drone and the BIM volume based on the field measurement was confirmed. Field application was carried out for the planned demolition work site, and the consistency between the drone-based volume and the actual measurement-BIM-based volume was reconfirmed. The waste generation unit was applied and the amount of DW was calculated by setting the floor height and building type, and the entire process was completed within 6 hours. Although the difference between building information and building objects through drones occurred according to the setting of temporary structures, loads, and floor heights, it was found that the actual amount of DW was generated more than the initial estimate. It is expected that measures to improve the accuracy of volume and floor area conversion will be required through case studies in the future.

The use of small drone platform has become a popular topic in these days but its application for SAR operation has been little known due to the burden of the payload implementation. Drone platforms are distinguished from the conventional UAV system by the increased vulnerability to the turbulences, control-errors and poor motion stability. Consequently, sophisticated motion compensation may be required to guarantee the successful acquisition of high quality SAR imagery. Extremely limited power and mass budgets may prevent the use of additional hardwares for motion compensation and the difficulty of SAR focusing is further aggravated. In this paper, we have carried out a feasibility study of mico-SAR drone operation. We present the image acquisition results from the preliminary flight tests and a quality assessment is followed on the experimental SAR images. The in-flight motion errors derived from the unique drone movements are investigated and attempts have been made to compensate for the geometrical and phase errors caused by motions against the nominal trajectory. Finally, the successful operation of drone SAR system is validated through the focussed SAR images taken over test sites.

As cyber security threats increase, there is a growing demand for highly reliable systems. Common Criteria, an international standard for evaluating information security products, requires formal specification and verification of the system to ensure a high level of security, and more and more cases are being observed. In this paper, we propose highly reliable drone systems that ensure high level security level and trust. Based on the results, we use formal methods especially Z/EVES to improve the system model in terms of scheduling in the system kernel.

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, drones are evolving beyond simple remote control tools into intelligent drones that perform missions autonomously. The importance of drones is gradually gaining attention due to the use of drones in overseas military conflicts and the analysis of the future operational environment in Korea. AMAD is proposed for the rapid development of intelligent drones. In order to develop intelligent software based on AMAD, an integrated development environment (IDE) that supports users with functions such as debugging, performance evaluation, and monitoring is essential. In this paper, we define the concepts of the development environment required for intelligent software development and describe the results of reflecting them in the design of the IDE and AMAD's agents, SVI and MPD, which are interfaced with the IDE.

The frequency of exposure of field crops to stress situations is increasing due to abnormal weather conditions. In South Korea, large-scale diseases in representative paddy rice cultivation area were happened. There are limits to field investigation on the crop damage due to large-scale. Satellite-based remote sensing techniques are useful for monitoring crops in cities and counties, but the sensitivity of vegetation index measured from satellite under abnormal growth of crop should be evaluated. The goal is to evaluate satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) retrieved from different spatial scales using drone imagery. In this study, Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellites were used and they have spatial resolution of 10 and 30 m. Drone-based NDVI, which was resampled to the scale of satellite data, had correlation of 0.867-0.940 with Sentinel-2 NDVI and of 0.813-0.934 with Landsat-8 NDVI. When the effects of bias were minimized, Sentinel-2 NDVI had a normalized root mean square error of 0.2 to 2.8% less than that of the drone NDVI compared to Landsat-8 NDVI. In addition, Sentinel-2 NDVI had the constant error values regardless of diseases damage. On the other hand, Landsat-8 NDVI had different error values depending on degree of diseases. Considering the large error at the boundary of agricultural field, high spatial resolution data is more effective in monitoring crops.

Terrorism has existed in the entire human history and has become a significant topic in criminology while prior studies has focused on North Korea as the perpetrator, and this prevents an in-depth discussion of the international trends of terrorism. As soft targets are the main target of new terrorism and because we never ignore the significance of the consequences, there are needs for more studies on the topic. This study conducted a case study of major terrorism attacks and surveyed professionals in the field via an AHP analysis in order to find the characteristics of terrorism and its potential patterns in South Korea. As a result, we found that North Korea or the left-wing may utilize homemade bomb, motor vehicle or drone for the purpose of attacking multi-use facilities in South Korea. For policy implications, we insist developing a better CPTED approach on those facilities, improving professionalism of cyber-watchdog via more training and education, stricter control on drone permit, and operation of counseling centers for preventing radicalization.

하천원격탐사는 원격탐사의 하위 개념으로서 계측하고자 하는 대상인 하천이나 호소 수체에서 발생하는 빛의 반사, 복사 또는 방출되는 양을 획득하고 분석하여 수리량, 지형 등 하천 조사에 활용하는 기법이다. 일반적으로 원격탐사는 주로 위성영상 자료를 활용하여 수행되어 자료취득비용이 고가이고 해외 위성자료에 의존하여 시공간적인 해상도가 매우 낮아 유역에 비해 공간적인 규모가 작고 변동 시간이 짧은 하천에 적용하는 데 한계가 있어 왔다. 또한, 단순한 사진촬영으로 도출할 수 있는 정보에 한계가 있고 자료를 저장 및 분석할 수 있는 기법도 부족하여 하천조사에 원격탐사를 활용한 사례가 드물었다. 그러나, 최근 드론과 같은 운반체 기술이 획기적으로 개선되고 있고 다양한 영상촬영장비의 개발과 IT기술의 발전으로 인해 위성영상에 비해 시공간적 해상도가 매우 정밀한 자료를 저렴한 비용으로 획득 가능해졌다. 또한, 매우 조밀한 파장대로 세분된 빛의 세기를 측정할 수 있는 초분광 영상을 이용한 원격탐사기법도 하천과 같은 좁은 영역에 적용이 가능해졌다. 초분광영상은 가시광선 외에 자외선과 적외선 영역에 해당하는 반사광을 200개 이상의 조밀한 파장대로 나누어 측정할 수 있어 수리량, 하상, 식생 등 하천 수체와 관련된 정보를 조사할 가능성이 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 하천 수체에서 취득한 초분광 영상을 이용하여 하천특성과의 상관관계를 규명하고 이를 통해 초분광 영상 기반의 하천특성 계측 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 드론과 같은 항공영상에 적용하기 전에, 우선 지상에서 측정된 초분광 영상과 하상재료 및 수심과의 상관관계를 규명하여 초분광 영상의 하천조사로의 사용 가능성을 점검해 보았다. 폭 10m, 수심 1m의 저수심의 소하천에 적용한 결과, 초분광 영상의 표준화 및 패턴 분석을 통해 수중에 위치한 하상재료를 구분할 수 있었고 주성분분석 등을 통해 수심과 상관성도 일부 도출되어 하천조사에 초분광영상이 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
