Underwater sensor networks (USN) for ocean development and disaster prevention have been emerged as one of interesting research topics recently. Since a high-speed and inexpensive communication modem is a prerequisite for deployment of USN, we design and implement an underwater modem by utilizing general-purpose waterproof ultrasonic sensors in this paper. We also make experiments in indoor and outdoor environment with two modems facing each other to conduct a point-to-point communication. According to the experiments, we can achieve the data rates of 1.5 kbps in a water tank and 2 kbps in a pond. Also, the maximum communication distance between two modems is about 30 meters. Besides, we conduct a point-to-multipoint experiment imitating USN by deploying a gateway, a sink node and three sensor nodes in a water tank.

These days land vehicle navigation system is a subject of great interest. The GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) is the most popular technology for out door positioning. However, The GNSS is incapable of providing high accuracy and reliable positioning. For that reason, we applied Network-RTK in vehicle to improve the accuracy of GNSS performance. In this network-RTK mode, the GNSS error are significantly decreased. In this paper, we explain ntrip client program for network-RTK mode and show the result of experiments in various environments.

Recently, measuring instruments for SHM of structures has been developed. In general, the wireless transmission of sensor signals, compared to its wired counterpart, is preferable due to the absence of triboelectric noise and elimination of the requirement of a cumbersome cable. However, in extreme environments, the sensor may be less sensitive to temperature changes and to the distance between the sensor and data logger. This may compromise on the performance of the sensor and instrumentation. Therefore, in this paper, free vibration experiments were conducted using wireless MEMS sensors at an actual site. Measurement was assessed in time and frequency domain by changing the temperature variation at($-8^{\circ}C$, $-12^{\circ}C$ and $-16^{\circ}C$) and the communication distance (20m, 40m, 60m, 80m).

As the number of single-person households is increasing in Korea, the demand for emergency support networks for the elderly and women is also growing. To meet the need, systemic solutions, such as a wide distribution of cell phones with embedded motion sensors that can alert the first responders or police in case of health or safety crisis, are regarded as critical issues. This paper introduces a design which registers the user's motions to process emergency reports via a mobile app running in the background. The method offers an affordable solution to reporting emergencies taking place both indoors and outdoors as it does not require an addition of hardware but only simple hand gestures.

The ballast, one of track components, plays an essential role as intermedium in transmitting train load to subgrade safely, and the deterioration of ballast directly effects the growth of track irregularity. In this study, we determined the main factor of ballast deterioration was miniature of ballast gravel caused MTT (Multiple Tie Tamper) works and accumulated traffic loads. To estimate the deterioration characteristics of ballast, we carried out field test (Chap.2) through track construction for test and the model test (Chap.3) simulating the actual operation environment, have done a comparative analysis with the sample's result (crushing rate) of high-speed railroad running actually.

As the amount of the wireless mobile products like a 'Smart phone' used increases, the studies about the Location Based Service (LBS) is highly increasing. Outdoor location determination can use the GPS which is built-in in the wireless mobile products. However, it is not possible to use GPS inside the huge cruise bigger than a normal building, it is regarded to consider Indoor location determination which is appropriate at the inside environment. Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) does not need an extra installation process because it is already installed here and there inside the building. In this respect, Wi-Fi has low price competitiveness compared to other wireless sensor products. In this paper, I will introduce 'Bayesian Algorithm' which can recognize useful space with Wi-Fi signal.

In this paper, we propose a system that analyzes environment information by using deep learning and then provides a suitable environment for users by predicting environmental information change. As the level of living improves, interest in improving the quality of life is increasing. In particular, as the air quality deteriorated due to the recent occurrence of dust, smog, fine dust, and ultrafine dust, the indoor air quality as well as the outdoor air became a serious problem. The increase of indoor pollution due to the lack of ventilation and the use of chemicals is a serious problem for modern people who have a lot of indoor living. In order to solve this indoor air pollution, a system has been proposed that measures the state of air quality through sensors and maintains proper temperature and humidity. However, existing system has a difficulty to apply most of the atmospheric environment information to various users depending on sensors only. The system proposed in this paper predicts the indoor environment by analyzing the indoor pollution information collected through the sensor using the deep learning. Then, the predicted indoor environment is modeled and learned in this system, and the environment suitable for the user is suggested. Afterwards, the system receives feedback from the user and repeats the process of re-learning the proposed environment so that it can create the optimal environment for the user.
