Fault detection and diagnosis (FDI) algorithms are actively being researched for ensuring the integrity and reliability of environment perception sensors in autonomous vehicles. In this paper, a fault detection algorithm based on a multi-sensor perception system composed of radar, camera, and lidar is proposed to guarantee the safety of an autonomous vehicle's perception system. The algorithm utilizes reference generation filters and residual generation filters based on finite impulse response (FIR) filter estimates. By analyzing the residuals generated from the filtered sensor observations and the estimated state errors of individual objects, the algorithm detects faults in the environment perception sensors. The proposed algorithm was evaluated by comparing its performance with a Kalman filter-based algorithm through numerical simulations in a virtual environment. This research could help to ensure the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles and to enhance the integrity of their environment perception sensors.

최근 많은 승객을 수공하는 대중 교통시스템의 안전에 대한 중요성이 더욱 대두되고 있으며, 고속화된 철도차량 또한 이를 피해갈 수 없다. 현재 철도차량의 사고 방지를 위해 많은 연구가 이루어 지고 있으며, 차량기지의 검수설비 및 검수시스템이 자동화되어 많이 발전되었다. 그 중 차축 초음파 탐상은 각 차량기지에 설치된 A-Scan 초음파 방식과 Phased Array 초음파 방식의 두가지 방식의 장비를 이용하여 차축 초음파 탐상이 이루어 지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 방식 중 철도차량 차축 결함 검출을 위한 A-Scan 탐상 방식과 Phased Array 탐상방식에 대하여 비교 분석하였다.

This study examined a fire accident caused by a defect in the vehicle ABS module. A large number of vehicles using the same manufacturer's ABS module in recent fire events showed a tendency to combust due to the same faults. As previously stated in the ABS module which shows the electrical breakdown between the power lines supplied to the constant power source by the battery. The electrical breakdown of the ABS module was caused by defects of the ABS module itself that were influenced by of the external flame. These results highlight the need to determine if there is a deficiency of the ABS module in the investigation of the cause of a fire in a vehicle which is produced by the same manufacturer.

Defects generated in a railroad track that guides the railroad vehicle have the characteristic of growing fast; as such, the detection technology for railroad track defects is very important because defects can eventually cause mass disasters like derailments. In this study, a speed-up test facility was fabricated to investigate the feasibility of using magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technology for defect detection in a railroad track under speed-up condition; a test was conducted using a railroad track specimen with defects. For this purpose, an MFL sensor head dedicated to the configuration of the railroad was designed and test specimens with artificial defects on their surfaces were manufactured. Using the test facility, a speed-up test ranging from 4km/h to 12km/h was performed and defects including locations were successfully detected from MFL signals induced by defects with enhanced visibility by differentiating raw MFL signals. In the future, it should be possible to apply this system to a high-speed railroad inspection car by improving the lift-off stability that is necessary for speed-up of the developed MFL sensor system.

There were little available data of vehicular incendiary fires. We investigated fires by inflammable gasoline and papers. cloths in the interior and exterior of vehicles. Fires in the interior and exterior of vehicles were carried out under the several conditions by incendiary methods and vehicle's windows. We knew that dominant factor of combustion is direction of wind at that time in vehicle's fire. And we knew that the other mark of combustion pattern in vehicle's fire could be a clue for solving the problem in discerning the place to which we sotted fire between the general fire and arson.

In recent years, due to heightened environmental awareness, Electric Power Steering (EPS) has been increasingly adopted as the steering control unit in manufactured vehicles. This has had numerous benefits, such as improved steering power, elimination of hydraulic hose leaks and reduced fuel consumption. However, for EPS systems to respond to actions, sensors must be employed; this means that the consistency of the sensor's linear variation is integral to the stability of the steering response. To ensure quality control, a reliable method for detecting defects and assessing linearity is required to assess the sensitivity of the EPS sensor to changes in the internal design characters. This paper proposes a data-driven defect and linearity assessment monitoring system, which can be used to analyze EPS component defects and linearity based on vehicle speed interval division. The approach is validated experimentally using data collected from an EPS test jig and is further enhanced by the inclusion of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Based on the design, the developed system effectively performs defect detection with an accuracy of 0.99 percent and obtains a linearity assessment score at varying vehicle speeds.

철도차량 차축의 초음파 탐상은 기존 펄스-에코방식을 사용하여 A-Stan으로 영상화하여 결함평가가 이루어 졌다. 하지만 이 방법은 작업자의 판단에 의존하므로 신뢰성이 멀어졌다. 위상배열 초음파 탐상 검사는 단일 탐촉자에 여러개의 진동자를 배열하여 여러 각도에서 탐상이 가능하므로 차축처럼 종류 및 모양이 다양한 구조물의 탐상에 효과적이다. 또한 C-Scan방식으로 영상화 하므로써 작업자가 결함을 판단하는데 있어서 객관적인 평가방법이다. 이 논문에서는 위상배열 초음파 탐상 검사에 대하여 설명하고 차축결함평가를 위한 자동화된 설비의 논리설계를 분석하고 그 실험의 방법과 결과론 고찰하고자 한다.

운영 중인 가스배관에는 매우 낮은 빈도이긴 하지만 부식, 기계적 손상, 내압, 토양하중, 차량하중, 지반침하, 열하중, 균열 등이 생길 수 있다. 안정적인 가스공급과 안전한 배관 운영을 위해서는 손상배관에 대한 건전성 평가가 필요하다. 평가 방법은 국내외 규격을 적용하거나 배관 운영회사에서 독자적인 건전성 평가방안을 적용하면 된다. 결함평가 방안은 고압 가스배관뿐만 아니라, 중저압 가스배관, 압력용기, 원자력 배관, 화학플랜트 배관 등에 필요한 사항이다.
