Ships on the sea are exposed to the danger such as collision, stranding, sinking, capsizing and disaster and so on. So, we discuss the factors and the countermeasures for prevention a lot of marine casualty caused on the ship navigation. It is necessary to construct of cooperation system among all organizations relating to salvage on the sea. In order to prevent the marine casualty. it is important to reinforce the crew with safety education and to improve on navigation aids for ships in fairway.

As the increase in maritime traffic and leisure, the marine accident risk has increased in the domestic coast. In this study, the environment and the cause of domestic marine accidents from 1990 to 2009 have been investigated and analyzed by using the statistics issues of Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal. Based on the analysis of most domestic marine accidents sum as Engine damage, Collision, Capsizing of small vessels, we propose how to use mobile telecommunication terminals for preventing marine accidents and the best countermeasures.

In a various regulations and standards related to the spent fuel storage, the storage casks should be designed to sustain the structural integrity under the accident conditions of predicted operation and design criteria. These conditions for the structural evaluation requires the drop, tip-over, wind like tornado and typhoon, flood and earthquake. This paper describes the load cases and conceptual evaluation method for the structural evaluation. Preliminary safety analysis of the concrete storage system were peformed.

In general, truck-involved crashes increase severity in terms of both injury level and crash impact level. Recently, although the frequency and fatality of truck-involved crashes in Korea are rising, their associative studies are very limited. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify critical factors influencing on injury severity of truck-involved crashes on Korean freeway system. To carry out this objective, this study uses an ordered probit model (OPM) based on a 6-year crash dataset from 2012 to 2017. From the analysis, eight variables were found to have a great effect on injury severity: older driver, crash speed, rear-end collision, number of vehicles involved, drowsy driving, nighttime (0:00 to 6:00) driving, overturn or rollover, and vehicle's fire after crash. However, injury severity was less severe in crashes under snowy condition and crashes to traffic facilities (i.e., crash alone).

Recently, the occurrence of a ship capsizing was analyzed as the main cause of the lack of stability or loss because of the improper management of the center of gravity, the movement of cargo or heavy weight when excessive steering occurs or when navigating during bad weather. Thus, to prevent a ship from capsizing, it is necessary to secure stability to enable the ship's return to its upright position, even if a dangerous heel occurs. The GM is a crucial evaluation factor regarding stability, which the navigation officer uses to preserve stability. In this study, based on the stability data collected from the operating of ships for five years, The GM by ship's type according to the operating status was analyzed specifically such as a ship's length, breadth, and gross tonnage. The feature of the GM distribution according to a ship's length was confirmed, and after performing the correlation analysis between the breadth and the GM, the ratio of the GM to breadth was calculated, and the result was compared with the previous ratio. Additionally, a simple approximation formula and minimum GM for the estimation of the GM by ship type were proposed by the regression analysis of the GM using the gross tonnage (GT)/breadth (B) to reflect the trend of larger ships being built. The results of this study are expected to be used as data for the review of securing a stable GM on ships.

This study was initiated to improve of the defect investigation method using event data recorders (EDR) and suggested a solution through the regulation and system analysis of EDR. The EDR data has been used for various purposes such as the vehicle defect investigation and the traffic accident investigation. However the EDR regulation has not been updated since the implementation in 2012. "Trigger Threshold" can be used to analyze a single accident such as the frontal crash, the side crash, and the rollover. In the case of a complex accident in which a rollover accident and a crash accident occur simultaneously, it is difficult to analyze a complex accident due to current "Trigger Threshold". This study proposed the method of separating the "Trigger Threshold" into a crash accident and a rollover accident so that accidents can be analyzed using the EDR data even when a complex accident occurs. In addition, it proposed the improvement method to quickly use the data of EDR in accident reconstruction software.

최근 대형 여객선 및 소형 낚시선 등의 전복사고 사례가 급증하고 있으며 이는 많은 인명사고와 함께 큰 경제적 손실로 이어지고 있다. 이로 인해 선박의 복원 안정성에 관한 관심이 더욱 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 모형선의 복원력을 계측하여 평가 할 수 있는 복원성 시험 도구로서 복원력 계측 장비를 개발하였으며 성능 평가를 함께 실시하였다. 성능평가는 이론적 계산과 시험 결과의 비교분석을 통해 이루어졌고, 이론치와 상용프로그램 및 시험치 결과와의 오차가 각각 0.04%, 3.7%로 양호한 일치를 보여주고 있다. 이와 같이 4%이내의 매우 낮은 오차로 나타남으로서 본 계측 장비의 정밀성과 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

화물 선박의 전복사고가 매해 발생하고 있음에도 화물을 측정하지 않고 서류에 의존하는 방식으로 화물을 선적하고 있습니다. 우리는 사고의 원인을 사전에 차단할 수 있는 자동 계측 시스템을 연구하였습니다. 본 논문의 시스템은 LiDAR 센서를 이용하여 비규격 화물이 멈추지 않고 자동 계측되어 인력과 시간의 소요를 줄이고 산출된 체적과 3D 모델을 제공합니다. 게다가 화물 차량에 실린 화물을 내리지 않고도 화물의 체적을 산출할 수 있어 항만의 효율성을 향상할 수 있을 것으로 기대합니다.

The fatality of rollover accidents in motor vehicle crashes is high despite their low incidence. Through the investigation of a 12-passenger van rollover accident in which 10 passengers were involved, we intend to analyze the correlation between the severity of the injury and the position of the occupants. We collected accident information from medical records, interviews, photo-images of the damaged van, field surveys, and the results of the Korean New Car Assessment Program (KNCAP). Based on the occupants' position, we classified injury sites and estimated injury severity. Passenger injury severity was evaluated by trauma score calculation. The initiation type of the rollover accident was passenger side 'fall-over' and the Collision Deformation Classification (CDC) code for the damaged van was 00TDZO3. The crash of the van involved 10 passengers, with an average age of $16.3{\pm}4.2years$. Few of the occupants had fastened seat belts at the time of the incident, and there was no airbag installed. One patient sustained severe liver injury and another was diagnosed with a fracture of the right humerus. The most common injuries were at the upper extremities and the neck. The average of Injury Severity Score (ISS) was $4.8{\pm}5.9$, and the average ISS of right-seated, mid-seated and left-seated occupants was $7.5{\pm}9.3$, $1.5{\pm}0.7$, and $3.3{\pm}2.1$ respectively (p>0.05). In the rollover (to-passenger side) accident of occupant unfastened, the average ISS of right-seated occupants (near side) was higher, but there was no statistically significant difference.
