The AF track circuit that detecting train position and transmitting various train control data for DTG to the train on-board is composed of single operation system. If a failure occurs on this system, the driver should be operate the train by manually until the system is restored, because the system cannot control switch machines and signals by automatically. In this process the human error affects to the train delay, collision, derailment and critical safety accident. Therefore, this document has analyzed the effects that each failure mode influences on system and train, and quantified the failure valuation point and class. Basis on this quantified analysis result, MTBF increased and MTTR decreased and failure number also decreased by adopting the independent installation of power supply, the replacement of defected capacitors, the installation of resister cooling system and the improvement of maintenance methods. And the failure factors of AF track circuits were decreased by conducting the preventive maintenance which is a quantitative way of maintenance system by experience.

노후 상수도관의 개량사업이 지속적으로 시행되고 있지만 노후관 개량사업은 경험적 판단에 의존하는 노후관 평가 및 대안의 선정, 사고예방을 위한 대응적 차원의 개량 사업을 실시함으로 인해 경제적 손실은 물론 시스템의 유기적 기능향상이 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상수관로 중에서 아연도 강관, 도복장 강관, 닥타일 주철관을 선정하여 현장조사를 실시하였으며, 직접 채취된 관체 시편을 대상으로 육안분석, 관체분석, 그리고 토양부식성 등을 평가하여 채취한 관의 노후도를 종합적으로 평가하였다. 기본적으로 노후도 평가를 점수 평가법을 사용하였으며, 평가된 결과를 바탕으로 향후 노후 수도관 개량사업 추진 내용에서 개대체 우선순위를 결정하기 위한 모델을 제안하였다. 상수관로 노후도 영향 인자 및 가중치 추정은 현재 매설된 상수관로의 노후진척도를 평가하기 위한 노후도 예측모형의 기본 요소이며, 모형의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 필수적인 사항이다. 관로 노후진척도 분석의 정확도는 장기간의 자료 수집을 통하여 이루어져 이에 대한 분석이 필요하며, 대상관로를 이용하여 개발된 제안식은 향후 지속적으로 현장조사를 실시하여 보완이 필요하겠지만, 노후수도관의 개량 우선순위를 분석하기 위한 매우 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 판단한다.

상수관망은 수용가에게 용수를 공급하는 사회기반시설물로, 용수를 공급하는 과정에서 관내에 이물질, 스케일 등의 생성은 불가피하다. 관로 변경, 단수로 인한 비상시 용수 공급 등의 유향 및 유속이 변화가 발생할 경우 스케일이 박리되어 적수사고 등의 수질문제가 발생 할 수 있으며, 이에 사전에 스케일을 제거 할 필요성이 있다. 스케일을 제거하기 위해서는 주기적인 관세척이 필요하며, 대표적인 공법으로는 플러싱공법이 있다. 현재까지 플러싱공법에 대한 연구는 실험을 통한 적용 권장 기준으로 진행되어 왔으나, 실제 상수관망에서 적용권장 기준을 확보하기 위한 방안에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 플러싱공법의 대표적은 종류는 재래식 플러싱공법과 단방향 플러싱공법이 있다. 재래식 플러싱공법은 제수밸브를 조작하지 않는 방법으로, 모든 소화전에서 용수를 방출하는 공법이다. 단방향 플러싱공법은 제수밸브를 조작하여, 일정한 방향으로 요수를 방출하는 공법이다. 단방향 플러싱공법은 재래식 플러싱공법보다 유속확보 측면에서 유리하여 관로 세척을 위한 유량 및 유속 확보가 용이하다. 단방향 플러싱공법을 적용하기 위해서는 관로의 유속을 확보하기 위해 세척구역 정의하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 세척구역 정의를 통한 플러싱공법 적용 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 세척구역은 크게 3단계로 구분한다. 먼저 블록단위의 세척순서를 결정하고, 블록 내 관망 세척구역을 결정한다. 이때 관로의 관경, 곡선구간, 세척구역의 길이를 고려하여 세척구역을 정의한다. 마지막으로 결정된 세척구역을 제수밸브의 위치, 조작 횟수에 근거하여 세척순서를 결정한다. 본 연구를 통해 실제 상수관망 플러싱공법 적용 절차 수립에 기여할 수 있다.

After the occurrence of several passenger ship accidents in Korea, various systems are being developed for passenger ship safety management. A total of 162 passenger ships operate along the coast of Korea, of which 105 (65 %) are car-ferries with open vehicle decks. The car-ferry has a navigation pattern that passes through 2 to 4 islands. Safety inspections at the departure point(home port) are carried out by the crew, the operation supervisor of the operation management office, and the maritime safety supervisor. In some cases, self-inspections are carried out for safety inspections at layovers. As with any system, there are institutional and practical limitations. To this end, this study was conducted to suggest a method of detecting a vehicle using image processing and linking it to the calculations for ship stability. For vehicle detection, a method using a difference image and one using machine learning were used. However, a limitation was observed in these methods that the vehicle could not be identified due to strong background lighting from the pier and the ship in the cases where the camera was backlit such as during sunset or at night. It appears necessary to secure sufficient image data and upgrade the program for stable image processing.

Currently, as a priority to secure the safety of the railway signalling system, verification for satisfy of the safety integrity requirements(SIR) is required to the essential elements. Safety Integrity Requirements(SIR) verification is performed based on the system safety analysis. But the probability of securing basic data for system safety analysis significantly dropped because there is no experience yet performed in the country. Therefore we are had to rely on a qualitative analysis. There are methods such as qualitative risk analysis matrix, and risk graphs. The qualitative analysis is wide, the width of the accident. However, the reliability of the result is significantly less has a disadvantage. Therefore, it should be parallel quantitative safety analysis of the system/products in order to compensate for the disadvantages of the qualitative analysis. This paper presents a quantitative safety analysis method to overcome the disadvantages of the qualitative analysis. And through a result, highly reliable Safety Integrity Requirements(SIR) verification measures proposed. Verification results, the dangerous failure incidence for vital data processing device was calculated to be $1.172279{\times}10^{-9}$. The result was verified to exceed the required safety integrity targets more.

According to the result of related studies, the degradation of human performance has been revealed as one of the most significant causes resulting in the safety of any human-involved system. This means that preventing the occurrence of accidents/incidents through avoiding the degradation of human performance is prerequisite for their successive operation. To this end, it is necessary to develop a plausible tool to evaluate the complexity of a task, which has been known as one of the decisive factors affecting the human performance. For this reason, in this paper, the complexity of tasks to be conducted by KTX drivers was quantified by TACOM measure that is enable to quantify the complexity of proceduralized tasks being used in nuclear power plants. After that, TACOM scores about the tasks of KTX drivers were compared with NASA-TLX scores that are responsible for the level of a subjective workload to be felt by KTX drivers.

A variety of research efforts, using advanced wireless communication technologies, have been made to develop more reliable traffic information system. This study presents a novel decentralized traffic information system based on vehicle infrastructure integration (VII). A major objective of this study was also to devise a methodology for determining appropriate spacing of roadside equipment (RSE) to fully exploit the benefits of the proposed VII-based traffic information system. Evaluation of travel time estimation accuracy was conducted with various RSE spacings and the market penetration rates of equipped vehicle. A microscopic traffic simulator, VISSIM, was used to obtain individual vehicle travel information for the evaluation. In addition, the ANOVA tests were conducted to draw statistically significant results of simulation analyses in determining the RSE spacing. It is expected that the proposed methodology will be a valuable precursor to implementing capability-enhanced next generation traffic information systems under the forthcoming ubiquitous transportation environment.

The Forward Collision Warning, a representative technology of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, was selected as the target technology. The cognitive response time, deceleration, and impact were selected as the measures of effectiveness. And the amount of change with and without the Forward Collision Warning was measured. The experimental scenarios included a sudden stop event (1) of the vehicle in front of the driver and an event (2) in which the vehicle intervened in the next lane. All experiments were divided into day and night. As a result of the analysis, response time and the deceleration rate decreased when the forward collision warning system was installed. It was analyzed that the driver's risk situation could be detected quickly and the number of front-end collisions could be reduced as a result. Reflecting the driver's operating habits and diversifying the experimental scenarios will increase the installation effectiveness of ADAS and be used to estimate the effectiveness of other technologies.
