It is well known that the hydrodynamic interaction forces between ship and bank wall affect ship manoeuvring motion. This paper deals with the interaction effect acting on a ship navigating closely in the proximity of bank wail. In this paper, the calculation method based on the slender body theory for estimation of the hydrodynamic interaction forces between ship and bank wail is applied. The hydrodynamic interaction forces acting on a ship during passing through the proximity of the bank wail are predicted to evaluate an influence of these interaction forces on ship manoeuvrability. The calculation method used in this paper will be useful for prediction of ship manoeuvrability at the initial stage of design, for automatic control system of ship in confined waterways, for discussion of marine traffic control system and for construction of harbour.

A search algorithm for the collision free, time optimal transport path of overhead cranes has been proposed in this paper. The map for the working environment of overhead cranes was constructed in the form of three dimensional grid. The obstacle occupied region and unoccupied region of the map has been represented using the octree model. The best-first search method with a suitable estimation function was applied to select the knot points on the collision free transport path to the octree model. The optimization technique, minimizing the travel time required for transporting objects to the goal while subjected to the dynamic constraints of the crane system, was developed to find the smooth time optimal path in the form of cubic spline functions which interpolate the selected knot points. Several simulation results showed that the selected estimation function worked effectively insearching the knot points on the collision free transport path and that the resulting transport path was time optimal path while satisfying the dynamic constraints of the crane system.

Marine transportation system plays an important role in maintaining and promoting economic activities among countries. The accurate understanding of marine traffic flows are necessary for the further advancement of marine transportation system. While many existing researches on marine traffic have been conducted mainly on the basis of statistical analysis using traffic data, ship's traffic flow simulation model was developed in this study. A collision avoidance algorithm was conducted with categorizing of traffic factors such as ship's length and speed. The developed model was also verified by a simulation process.

이 논문에서는 이동 로봇을 위하여 퍼지이론과 Dempster-Shafer 이론을 이용한 불확실한 환경에서의 센서기반 네비게이션 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 제어기는 장애물 회피 동작과 목적지 찾기 동작을 위한 2개의 행동 모듈로 구성되어 있다. 2개의 행동 모듈은 각각 퍼지 이론으로 학습되었고, 적절한 행동 선택 방법으로 선택되게끔 하였다. 견고한 퍼지 제어기를 가진 로봇이 실험 환경내에서 안전하게 움직이기 위하여 자동으로 지도를 구축(Map Building) 하도록 하였다. 이 실험에서 구성된 맵은 평면상의 격자를 중심으로 작성되었고 로봇의 센서에서 읽어들인 센서 값은 D-S 추론 이론을 이용하여 기존의 맵과 혼합되어진다. 즉, 로봇이 움직일때 마다 실험 환경내에서 새로운 정보를 읽어 들이고, 그 정보로 인하여 기존의 지도가 새로운 지도로 갱신되는 것이다. 이러한 작업을 거치면서 로봇은 장애물과 충돌없이 배회하는 것 뿐 아니라 설정된 목적지까지도 쉽게 찾아갈 수가 있다. 실험에 대한 안정성과 확신을 검증 받기 위하여 실제 로봇에 적용하기보다는 먼저 이동 로봇의 시뮬레이션으로 실험 해 보고자 한다.

In case of South Korea, the airspace which airlines can operate is extremely limited due to the military operational area located within the Incheon flight information region. As a result, safety problems such as mid-air collision between aircraft or Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System Resolution Advisory (TCAS RA) may occur with higher probability than in wider airspace. In order to prevent such safety problems, an mid-air collision risk detection model based on Detect-And-Avoid (DAA) well clear metrics is investigated. The model calculates the risk of mid-air collision between aircraft using aircraft trajectory data. In this paper, the practical use of DAA well clear metrics based model has been validated. Aviation safety data such as aviation safety mandatory report and Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast is used to measure the performance of the model. The attributes of individual aircraft track data is analyzed to correct the threshold of each parameter of the model.

인류의 우주공간에 대한 영향력이 확대됨에 따라, 우주공간에서의 인위적인 활동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 모든 종류의 상황들에 대한 이해가 최근 전 세계적으로 매우 중요한 이슈로 부상하고 있다. 이를 Space Situational Awareness (SSA)라고 하는데, 특히 근지구공간에서의 인위적, 자연적 우주물체는, 우주발사체의 지속적인 증가와 이리듐-코스모스 위성의 상호 충돌 및 중국 폐기위성 파괴 등과 같은 사건으로 기하급수적으로 증가된 우주물체의 개체수로 인해 대한민국 국적의 모든 위성에도 실제적인 위협 요인으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 기초 기술연구회와 한국천문연구원은 이러한 위협을 국가적으로 해결해야할 과제(National Agenda Project) 중의 하나로 정의하고, 이를 해결하기 위해 우주물체 전자광학 감시체계 기술개발(OWL; Optical Wide-field patroL) 사업을 시작하였다. 이 사업의 목표는 자국위성에 대한 궤도력을 독자적으로 유지할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하는 것이며, 이를 위하여 2011년부터 6년 동안 총 5개소의 해외 관측소에 50cm급 광시야 망원경을 각각 설치하여 자국위성을 자동으로 상시관측하고, 관측된 자료를 이용한 궤도계산을 통하여 독자적으로 궤도력을 유지할 계획이다. 또한, 우주잔해물 감시는 하나의 국가에서 단독으로 할 수 없기 때문에 2m급 우주물체 감시망원경을 개발하여 국제공동으로 진행할 계획이다. 사업 첫해인 2011년 4월 시스템 요구사항 분석을 완료하였고 10월말 시스템 기본설계를 완료할 예정이다. 최종 완성될 소구경 광시야 망원경과 우주물체 감시망원경의 주요 임무는 우주물체 관측이지만, 향후 광시야를 이용한 다양한 탐사천문학에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 한편, 자국위성에 대한 충돌 위험도 분석 및 회피기동에 관한 연구는 한국항공우주연구원이 이 사업의 협동연구로 참여하고 있다.

This paper describes a coordinated control algorithm for rear-side collision avoidance. In order to assist driver actively and increase driver's safety, the proposed coordinated control algorithm is designed to combine lateral control using a steering torque overlay by Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) and differential braking by Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). The main objective of a combined control strategy is twofold. The one is to prevent the collision between the subject vehicle and approaching vehicle in the adjacent lanes. The other is to limit actuator's control inputs and vehicle dynamics to safe values for the assurance of the driver's comfort. In order to achieve these goals, the Lyapunov theory and LMI optimization methods has been employed. The proposed coordinated control algorithm for rear-side collision avoidance has been evaluated via simulation using CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink.

The conventional lane changing model has been developed without acceleration or deceleration of vehicles at target lane. Thus, existing lane changing models have limitation to apply in real world. In this paper, lane changing model considered acceleration or deceleration, and calculated the safety distance between subject vehicle and adjacent vehicles for lane changing as well. Simulation was conducted to verify the validity and the efficiency of the developed lane changing model in this paper. Several scenarios were carefully examined by safety distance between subject vehicle and adjacent vehicles. In the result, it was verified that if gap between subject vehicle and adjacent vehicles is larger than safety distance, lane changing behavior between subject vehicle and adjacent vehicles avoids collision. The suggested lane changing model may be applied at the future driver assistance system and advanced safety vehicle.

Path-following control is considered as one of the most fundamental skills to realize autonomous navigation of marine vessels in the ocean. This study addresses with the path-following control for a ship in which there are environmental disturbances in the directions of the surge, sway, and yaw motions. The guiding principle and back-stepping method was utilized to solve the ship's tracking problem on the reference path generated by a virtual ship. For path-following control, error dynamics is one of the most important skills, and it extends to the research fields of automatic collision avoidance and automatic berthing control. The algorithms for the guiding principles and error variables have been verified by numerical simulation. As a result, most error variables converged to zero values with the controller except for the yaw angle error. One of the most interesting results is that the tracking errors of path-following control between two ships are smaller than the existing safe passing distances considering interaction forces from near passing ships. Moreover, a trade-off between tracking performance and the ship's safety should be considered for determining the proper control parameters to prevent the destructive failure of actuators such as propellers, fins, and rudders during the path-following of marine vessels.
