With increasing need of transportation services for people with disabilities and the aged, wheelchairs are used as their assistive devices to participate in daily and recreational activities and as seats of motor vehicle. However, as wheelchairs are primarily designed fer mobility assistive devices, not for vehicle seats, wheelchair users may experience serious injury when they meet car crashes. To date, neither engineering guidance for a wheelchair mounting system on the vehicle floor nor safety assessment analysis by a car crash has been studied for the domestic users. In this paper, in accordance with the ANSVRESNA WC-19, a fixed vehicle mounted wheelchair occupant restraint system (FWORS), wheelchair integrated restraint system (WIRS), and wheelchair integrated x-bend restraint system (WIXRS) subjected to frontal impact (20 g, 48 U) were analyzed using compute. simulations for domestic users. We present surrogate wheelchair occupant safety by head injury criteria (HIC), motion criteria (MC), and combined injury criteria (CIC).

In order to prevent automobile accidents internationally, advanced safety devices are actively being developed. Among them, Auto Emergency Brake (AEB) function and Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which are used to prevent or reduce frontal collision, have been studied for a long time, and are being researched by various manufacturers to develop better performance. In fact, in the case of large vehicles, it is mandatory for AEB to be installed in Korea. Accordingly, a variety of Vehicles equipped with AEB and FCW are coming out, and inspection of these mounting devices is a necessary system in the future. This study confirms how AEB and FCW are currently assessed in regulation and the New Car Assesment Program (NCAP), This is a basic study of the matters to be considered in preparing AEB and FCW inspection standard by checking the performance of vehicles equipped with forward collision protection and identifying the vehicle's sensitivity, range and speed of radar sensors, and target vehicles based on CAN communication data.

기존의 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 센서 노드는 하나의 전방향성 안테나와 하나의 무선 채널을 공유하여 데이터를 전송하므로 과다한 채널 경쟁과 센서 노드간의 데이터 충돌로 데이터 재전송이 자주 발생하여 불필요한 에너지의 소비가 많고, 소스 노드와 목적지 노드의 데이터 전송시 RTS(Request To Send)와 CTS(Clear To Send) 패킷을 사용하여 전파 전송 범위 전체에 대해 채널 예약을 하므로 공간의 활용도가 낮은 편이다. 본 논문에서는 전방향성 안테나의 문제점 및 단점을 보완하기 위한 방법으로 지향성 안테나를 사용하기 위한 SRDMAC(Spatial Reuse Directional MAC) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 센서 노드 간의 데이터 전송시 충돌을 방지하여 데이터 재전송에 소모되는 에너지와 목적지 노드가 위치한 영역 일부분에만 데이터를 전송함으로 에너지 소모량을 줄일 수 있으며, 목적지 노드가 위치한 영역을 제외한 다른 영역의 이웃 노드와의 데이터 전송이 가능하므로 공간 재 사용율을 최대한 증가시킬 수 있다.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of MRI after ACL reconstruction with femoral tunnel at 10 o'clock position. Materials and Methods: MRI findings of 29 patients after ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft were evaluated. The mean period from operation to MRI was 18.9 months($7{\sim}40$ months). Signal intensity, morphology and continuity of graft, femoral insertion, graft angle, roof impingement, cross pin breakage and position were evaluated. Those findings were compared with KT-2000, Lysholm knee score and pivot shift test. Results: There was no significant correlation between signal intensity of graft and the duration to MRI. Most common pattern of the morphology was straight, and the continuity was well-preserved. 13 cases of femoral tunnel insertion were zone 4 and 16 were zone 3. There were no roof impingement. 10 cases showed cross pin breakages, of which 5 were found at the outside of distal femoral posterior cortex. 9 showed cross pin directed posteriorly in axial view. There was no significant correlation between clinical results and cross pin breakage. Conclusion: MRI examinations after ACL reconstructions are useful to evaluate the graft status, position of the graft and cross pins. Since the direction of the cross pin is important especially in 10 o'clock femoral position, care should be taken to avoid cross pin breakage.

In this paper, we are going to develop a collision accident prevention technology that automatically recognizes more than 98% of workers and obstacles in 360° around them during work/high-speed movement/cabin rotation, guides collision warning and secures the driver's viewing angle.

빠르게 변화하는 해양 교통 환경은 항상 선박과 관련 산업 종사자 등의 안전을 위협하고 있다. 특히나 선박의 안전하고 효율적인 접이안을 지원하는 약 300여 명의 도선사와 70여 척의 도선선은 안전 운항의 최전방에 배치되어 있으며 관련 사고가 발생할 시 타 사고에 비해 그 피해가 극심하다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내외의 과거 도선선 충돌 사고 사례를 분석하고 이를 안전 문화의 관점을 통해 바라보면서 미래의 안전 도선 환경 마련을 위한 대응책을 모색하였다.

Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal (KMST) statistics released in of 2019 indicated that most collision accidents involving small-size vessels with less than 20 gross-tonnage occur mainly due to operational carelessness, such as forward-looking negligence and unskilled vessel control. As an effective remedy, training and education for vessel operators are being strengthened to prevent accidents. However, collision accidents are increasing, and technical measures are continuously developed to reduce accidents caused by human factors. In this study, an avoidance algorithm and prototype of terminal-controller against collision between two nearby vessels was developed for implementation on relative navigation control by adopting WAVE telecommunication technology. Moreover, several sea trial tests were performed to verify the collision avoidance algorithm and control system using two fishing vessels for dif erent scenarios.

Conventional lane detection algorithms have problems in that the detection rate is lowered in road environments having a large change in curvature and illumination. The probabilistic Hough transform method has low lane detection rate since it exploits edges and restrictive angles. On the other hand, the method using a sliding window can detect a curved lane as the lane is detected by dividing the image into windows. However, the detection rate of this method is affected by road slopes because it uses affine transformation. In order to detect lanes robustly and avoid obstacles, we propose driving assist system using semantic segmentation based on deep learning. The architecture for segmentation is SegNet based on VGG-16. The semantic image segmentation feature can be used to calculate safety space and predict collisions so that we control a vehicle using adaptive-MPC to avoid objects and keep lanes. Simulation results with CARLA show that the proposed algorithm detects lanes robustly and avoids unknown obstacles in front of vehicle.

Recently, as the number of high-height vehicles such as double-decker buses has increased, collision accidents have occurred in bridges and tunnels due to the deviation from the designated routes and driver's carelessness. In the case of the existing front collision warning system, it is limited to vehicles and pedestrians, so it is difficult to use it as a pass height warning system for the high height vehicles. In this paper, we propose a system that generates a warning by determining the correlation and time series characteristics of data for each segment using multiple lidar sensors and then determining the possibility of collision in the upper part of the vehicle. Also, the proposed system confirmed the proper operation through a real-time driving test and a system performance evaluation by the Korea Automobile Testing & Research Institute.

최근 의료시장에 상용화된 모바일 수술 중 CT(intra-operative computed tomography, iCT)는 수술실 내 이동이 자유로울 뿐만 아니라 수술 후 즉각적인 환자 모니터링이 실시간으로 이루어져 수술 후 환자의 예후 향상과 재수술 확률을 낮출 수 있다. 이동성을 갖춘 iCT 는 편의성과 유용성이 검증되었지만, 이동시 발생될 수 있는 충돌사고의 단점이 존재한다. 따라서, iCT 의 이동시 발생할 수 있는 위험을 최소화 할 수 있는 안전장치가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 iCT 의 구동 제어의 편의성과 안전성을 확보 할 수 있는 CT 촬영을 제어하기 위한 리모트 컨트롤러, 이동시 전방 시야를 확보하기 위한 전방 모니터링 카메라 출력, 충돌 위험을 알릴 수 있는 초음파 센서를 통합하는 임베디드 컨트롤러를 개발하고자 한다.
