보안등은 주택가 골목에 안전을 위해 설치하는 중요한 설비로서, 도로 폭이 12m 이하인 장소에 설치된다. 그러내 통행 인구가 없어도 야간시간 내내 점등되고 있기에 낭비되는 전력량이 상당하다. 적외선센서가 부착된 보안등을 교체하게 되면 보행자의 움직임을 통해 일정시간 점등이 되고 이동체가 없을 때는 소등이 되어 전기에너지의 소비를 상당히 줄일 수가 있어 온실가스저감에 기여할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 적외선센서 보안등의 최적 작동시간을 추적하기 위해 보행자의 통행 분포를 알아보고자 연구지역인 경북대 캠퍼스 내에서 사계절 중 여름철 야간 보행자의 통행패턴을 현장조사하여 분석하였다. 이를 통해 시간별, 공간별 분포 특성을 파악하고 도식화하여 보행자의 통행분포 특성을 파악함으로써 보안등의 작동시간 추적이 가능하였다.

사람들이 살아가는 환경에는 여러 가지 위급한 환경 이벤트가 발생하는데 이들에 대한 상황파악을 통해 효율적인 대처방안을 도출해 낼 수 있다. 그러나 험준한 산악지대, 넓은 사막지대와 같이 쉽게 사람이 접근하기 힘든 위치에서도 이벤트가 발생한다. 이러한 환경에서 이벤트 상황을 파악할 수 있는 가장 효율적인 방법으로 무선 센서 네트워크를 꼽을 수 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크를 적용 가능한 분야는 산불 감시, 지진이나 화산활동 감시, 유독 물질 확산 탐지 등을 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 유독 가스, 산불, 기압골 등 광범위한 걸쳐 플럼(Plume) 형태로 발생하는 이벤트의 범위를 센서를 통해 지속적으로 손쉽게 알아내기 위한 Plume 추적기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 플럼 추적 기법에서는 센서 간 통신비용을 감소시키는 새로운 에지 검출 기법을 제안해 센서의 에너지 소모를 줄여 전체 센서 네트워크의 운용시간을 크게 향상시킨다.

To measure the traffic pollutants with high temporal and spatial resolution under real conditions a mobile emission laboratory (MEL) was designed and built in KIST with close-cooperation with KIMM and Yonsei university. The equipment of the mini-van provides gas phase measurements of CO, NOx, $CO_2$, THC (Total hydrocarbon) and number density & size distribution measurements of fine and ultra-fine particles by a fast mobility particle sizer (FMPS) and a condensation particle counter (CPC). The inlet sampling port above the bumper enables the chasing of different type of vehicles. This paper introduces the construction and technical details of the MEL and presents data from the car chasing experiment of diesel and CNG city bus. The dilution ratio was increased rapidly according to the chasing distance. Most particles from the diesel city bus were counted under 300 nm and the peak concentration of the particles was located between 40-60 nm. However, the most particles from the CNG city bus were nano particle counted under 50 nm.

To understand the thermal characteristics around the piston ring gap ring gap positions and piston temperatures are measured simultaneously. The locations of piston ring gap are measured by the radio-tracer method and piston temperature are measured by a K-type thermocouple and scissors type linkage system. From these experiments following facts are clarified. Piston temperatures fluctuate according to the piston ring rotation. And the temperature fluctuation is mainly affected by top ring gap position irrelevant to the second ring fop position. If the top ring gap position increases and the temperature of top ring groove shows maximum value when top rin gap position coincide with temperature measuring point. The maximum amplitude of temperature fluctuation which is proportional to the blow by gas rate is around 12-15$^{\circ}C$.

Indoor air quality has become increasingly important with the increase in time spent in residential environments, impact of external fine dust, yellow dust, and the post-COVID 19 pandemic. Residential mechanical ventilation plays a key role in addressing indoor air quality. The legal standard for residential air changes per hour in Korea is 0.5 ACH. However, there are no standards for the location of supply and return vents. This study atempts to analyze the impact of ventilation performance based on the location of supply and return vents. An experiment was conducted using the CO₂ tracer gas concentration decay method in a mock-up house set inside a large chamber to minimize external influences. The experimental results indicated that the commonly used combination of 2 supply and 2 return vents in living room spaces had a lower mean age of air than the combination of 1 supply and 2 return vents. Using multiple supply and return vents had lower mean age of air than using just 1 supply and 1 return vent.

In this research, we propose a new method for tracking the release rate using the concentration data obtained from the sensor. We used a sensor network that has already been set surrounding the area where hazardous gas releases can occur. From the real-time sensor data, we detected and analyzed releases of harmful materials and their concentrations. Based on the results, the release rate is estimated using the neural network. This model consists of 14 input variables (sensor data, material properties, process information, meteorological conditions) and one output (release rate). The dispersion model then performs the simulation of the expected dispersion consequence by combining the sensor data, GIS data and the diagnostic result of the source term. The result of this study will improve the safety-concerns of residents living next to storage facilities containing hazardous materials by providing the enhanced emergency response plan and monitoring system for toxic gas releases.

The objective of this research is to analyze the ventilation performance of mechanical ventilation systems to enhance removal efficiency of indoor hamful gases. The ventilation performance is evaluated using a step-down method based on ASTM Standard E741-83. The ventilation performance is evaluated as a function of the ventilation rate and supply/extract locations using a tracer gas ($CO_2$) technique. As a result, the $CO_2$ concentration as a function of time is decayed exponentially and the ventilation performance is found to increase with increased the ventilation rate. The ventilation performance of the second type ventilation system is better than that of the first type or the third type. The ventilation performance without human occupancy increases up to 55% and the ventilation performance with one person increases up to 25% at the supply air of 570Lpm comparing with a natural reduction after one hour in the test chamber. The ventilation performance is better than 15% comparing with natural decay at the supply of 570Lpm in an office room.

In recent years, dangerous materials and gas leak accidents have been frequently occurred. The hazardous materials storage facility accidents are not rapidly controlled when a leak is detected, unlike other chemical plants can be controled. Externally, the human has to approach and respond to the source of leaking directly. As a result, the human and material damage are likely to larger result in the process. The current approach has been passive response after ringing the alarm. In this study, the suggested tracking system of the leak resource is designed system to track the resource actively by utilizing the mobile sensor robot platform, which can be made easily through recent rapid development technology, is verified through prototype system. Thus, a suggested system should pave the way for minimizing the spread and damage of the accident based on the exact site situation of the initial leak and quick and early measures.
