This paper proposed the M&S(Modeling & Simulation) method of channel characterization of satellite communication in the operating area of satellite OTM(On-The-Move) terminal. In M&S, received signal profile was acquired by HTZ warfare software which uses 3 dimensional map including building, road information and geographical features, and then was analyzed statistically. And a received signal profile and its statistics from M&S data were compared with those from measured data. The research showed that the simulated received signal profile matched the measured one about 74.8 percent and simulated statistics matched well as roadside trees were excluded.

본 연구는 수확 작업에 따른 농업용 트랙터의 차축 부하 분석을 목적으로 수행되었다. 트랙터의 부하 측정을 위한 부하 계측 시스템은 4개 차축의 토크 측정을 위한 휠 토크미터, 부하 데이터 수집을 위한 데이터 수집장치, 토크미터에 전원을 공급하기 위한 전원공급장치, 트랙터 배터리를 이용하여 노트북 및 전원공급장치에 전원을 공급하기 위한 인버터, 데이터 처리를 위한 노트북으로 구성하였다. 본 연구에서는 부하계측을 수행하기 위해 동양물산(주)의 60 마력급 트랙터 T623을 사용하였다. 부하 분석은 수확 작업에 따른 주행 단수 별 데이터를 이용하여 통계분석을 수행하였다. 수확 작업 시 L2단에서 좌측 전륜에서의 최대, 최소, 평균, 표준편차 토크는 각각 1735.44, 818.36, 1201.38, 175.53 Nm로 나타났으며, 우측 후륜에서는 3685.11, 1971.68, 2981.80, 258.36 Nm로 나타났다. L3단에서 좌측 전륜에서의 최대, 최소, 평균, 표준편차 토크는 각각 1580.94, 701.06, 1007.93, 125.11 Nm로 나타났으며, 우측 후륜에서는 3239.57, 1735.44, 2472.11, 307.85 Nm로 나타났다. 트랙터의 차축 부하는 L2단에서 L3단으로 작업속도가 증가함에 따라 좌측 전륜에서 약 0.83배, 우측 후륜에서 약 0.82배 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후에는 Romax_Designer (Version 17, Romax Technology, UK)을 사용하여 작업 부하에 따른 트랙터 트랜스미션 해석을 하여 트랙터 PTO 최적설계 가능성을 제시할 계획이다. 정격 출력 조건에서 시뮬레이션을 진행하여 트랙터 트랜스미션을 설계하면 안전성을 확보할 수 있지만 최적설계를 위해서는 실제 포장시험 데이터를 이용한 시뮬레이션이 필요하다고 판단된다.

The ballast abrasion occurs on the ballasted track upon bridges more than soil roadbed because the track vibration occurs a lot in the ballasted track upon bridges due to girder vibration when a train's weight is loaded onto track even though the identical ballast is used. The phenomena of mud pumping especially, which occurs when drainage is not properly secured for heavy rain, leads to the increase of maintenance work load and the decline of ride comfort. The ballast thickness range in domestic railroad construction rule is uniformly set up according to the design speed of railroad and passing tonnage of train without considering field conditions which is considered in foreign railroad companies. The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of vibration decrease by measuring the acceleration, displacement and ride comfort of ballasted track with the change of ballast thickness on the ballast tracked bridges and to suggest the optimal height of ballast on the Yocheon Bridge built for the test in Honam Line.

Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS) is a kind of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which are developed to automate/ adapt/ enhance vehicle systems for safety and better driving. The main system function of LKAS is to support the driver in keeping the vehicle within the current lane. LKAS acquires information on the position of the vehicle within the lane and, when required, sends commands to actuators to influence the lateral movement of the vehicle. Recently, the vehicles equipped with LKAS are commercially available in a few vehicle-advanced countries and the installation of LKAS increases for safety enhancement. The test procedures for LKAS evaluations are being discussed and developed in the international committees such as ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe). In Korea, the evaluations of LKAS for vehicle safety are planned to be introduced in 2016 KNCAP (Korean New Car Assessment Program). Therefore, the test procedures of LKAS suitable for domestic road and traffic conditions, which accommodate international standards, should be developed. In this paper, some bullet points of the test procedures for LKAS are discussed and proposed by extensive researches of previous documents and reports, which are released in public in regard to lateral test procedures including LKAS and Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). And then, to evaluate the validity of the proposed test procedures, a series of experiments were conducted using commercially available two vehicles equipped with LKAS. Later, it can be helpful to make a draft considering domestic traffic situations for test procedures of LKAS.

Catastrophic disasters are sprouting out recently, i.e., the radiation leaks and the hydrofluoric acid gas leaks, etc. The restoration work for these kinds of disasters is very harmful and dangerous for human beings to handle themselves, thus allowing manless robots to fly the reconnaissance planes over to the disaster stricken areas and do the necessary work instead. For this endeavor and purpose, we created and tested an intelligent robot that can inspect those areas, using Mbed (ARM processor) technology temperature sensors and gas sensors aided by CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) cameras. Also, HTTP Server, PC, androids and their combined efforts allow their remote controlled operation from far away with timing control. These intelligent robots can be on duty for 24 hours, minimizing the accidents and crimes and what not, and can respond more quickly when these misfortunes actually happen. We can anticipate the economic effects as well, derived from the reduced needs for hiring human resources.

KORAIL carries out an improvement project of railway signaling system for the conventional line from the existing method which permits a train to move within limited speed the ground signal of ATS(Automatic Train Stop) system. The proposed system makes possible that a train can be driven using a speed profile created by onboard signaling system(ATP) with the movement authority from ground balise. A driving test over 100,000km is being executed by developing a tilting train for the speed elevation on the conventional line. And, the introduction of the tilting train by ATP system to the Jung-ang line is expected. However, a speed elevation on a curved line section has a restriction. Therefore, research on safety braking model and train separation control technology for the localization of ATP system is required preferentially. In this paper, we presented a safety braking model of ATP system and a train separation control method that use ground balise as variable information provider, and executed a performance simulation.

Inertial navigation system (INS) has used aided systems and sensors to compensate navigation error. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS), velocity measurement sensor (VMS), and radar are commonly used to aid INS. Land navigation system (LNS) also mainly uses VMS when GNSS cannot be used such as at tunnel or on jammed scenario. A straight drive is required when VMS-aided navigation is used, because there is only speed of straight direction whereas no crossways and vertical directions. In local environment, even an expressway has lack of straight drive which is constraint of VMS-aided navigation algorithm. This paper proposes an enhanced VMS-aided navigation algorithm for LNS with indirect drive by restricting filter update condition. Also, there is a result of vehicle test to prove performance of the proposed algorithm.

A simplified model of seat-human body is presented to analyze vibrations of human body on a seat of vehicle. The theoretical model having seven degrees-of-freedom is composed of the inter-connected masses, springs and dampers. Until now, evaluation of ride comfort has been usually performed only through vehicle tests. This study aims to complement shortcomings of conventional vehicle tests in evaluation of ride comfort by using the theoretical model. The acceleration values of the human body are obtained from frequency response functions of the theoretical model. Thereafter, Ride and SEAT indexes are acquired by considering response characteristics of the human body for the 12 axes that are presented in BS 6841. A vehicle test is carried out to measure the acceleration values for the three parts of the human body such as upper body, hip and foot. Ride and SEAT indexes of the vehicle test are also obtained by considering the response characteristics of the human body, of which results are compared with the values from the theoretical model. It is found that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Gangway bellows in this study is the double wrinkled neoprene rubber component to accept various deviations between the carriage end parts of the articulated type high speed railway vehicle(HSRV). The fatigue failure of the bellows has a harmful effect on the riding comfort for the passengers with the increase of noise and ringing in the ears due to air-tightness failure during pass through a long tunnel. In this study, to assure the safety of gangway bellows of the HSRV, non-linear analysis of the gangway bellows considering triaxial angular displacement(rolling /yawing/pitching) between the carriage end parts are performed. The non-linear properties of the rubber are determined by uniaxial tension and equi-biaxial tension test. Moreover, from the results of non-linear analysis, the effects of the angular displacements and frictional coefficients are evaluated.

Catenary (Overhead Contact Lines) and Pantograph are used to transmit electrical energy to electric railways. An Arc occurs by unstable contact between catenary and pantograph during electric railways operation, which causes malfunctioning or even an accident. Therefore, to prevent a arc or electric contact loss are required arc detection systems with catenary maintenance capability. This paper describes developing of catenary arc detection system using photo detector in order to detect arc incidence in a indirect way. This developed system can also achieve Video-recordings and environmental conditions such as wire voltage/current, pantograph height, speed, position of electric railways, and temperature/humidity. This system have been evaluated at the section that bounds for dongdaegu from seoul. From the experimental results, the occurrence of arc and intensity of arc are mainly effected by wire voltage/current, pantograph height and speed of electric railways.
