The fatalities rate for passenger vehicles, vans, and commercial vehicles is 1.23, 1.90 and 2.46 deaths per 10,000 registered vehicles, respectively. This shows that vans and commercial vehicles are vulnerable compare to passenger vehicles. To evaluate the crashworthiness of van and Light Truck Vehicle(LTV), we carried out frontal offset crash test at 64km/h, 40% overlap as per IIHS(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). The test result show that LTV is very poor to protect occupant at frontal crash cause there is no safety system such as airbag and pretensioner and front end length(distance from front bumper to steering wheel) is short. One of the van rated as the lowest rating even it is equipped with airbag, cause its safety cage was collapsed during the test. This result shows that the structural integrity is very important in terms of occupant protection.

In this study, the performance of composite safety barriers was evaluated through computer simulation. A composite safety barrier of SB4 grade was modeled. The MAT58 material model provided by LS-DYNA software was used to model composite material. The performance of composite material varies according to fiber, resin type, and fiber direction. Polyurethane resin and glass fiber were used. The performance of three different stacking designs was evaluated by carrying out vehicle impact simulation. The performance evaluation based on the vehicle crash manual includes the structural strength performance, the passenger protection performance, the vehicle behavior after crash, scattering of the guardrail. As the result of the finite element analysis, the barrier composed of the more transverse direction fibers shows the better performance on the impact simulation.

크루즈 페리 선박의 인테리어 섬유 내장부품은 고도의 난연성과 내구성, 그리고 높은 수준의 감성과 심미적 기능을 만족하는 고기능성 소재로 구성된 섬유 복합체이다. 이는 화재, 전복 등 돌발 사고에 대하여 탑승자를 보호하고, 쾌적한 실내 분위기를 제공함으로서 안전운행을 유도하며, 높은 수준의 감성과 심미적 기능을 부여함으로서 품위와 가치를 증가시키는 기능이 있다. 난연기능이 부가된 난연사의 경우 복합가공 즉, 방오, 항균, 소취 기능을 추가 부여하게 되면 난연 기능이 급격히 저하되는 결정적인 단점이 있다. 이로 인해 가혹한 난연 성능이 요구되는 선박용 인테리어 섬유제품의 경우 그 규격을 만족하기란 쉽지 않기 때문에 원사제조에서부터 염색공정, 가공공정에 걸쳐 각 단위 공정별로 복합적으로 난연, 방오, 항균소취 기능들의 추가 보완이 필요한 실정이다. 또한 최근 사용자 입장에서는 용도에 따라 여러 가지 기능이 복합된 원단을 요구하는 사례가 많아지고 있는 실정이며, 많은 후가공 공정시 난연가공과 더불어 복합적으로 추가 가공시 난연성 저하 등의 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 선박용 인테리어 섬유제품의 Spec.을 만족시키기 위해 난연 직물의 염색 후가공에 적용되는 염조제 성능을 조사하고 고견뢰 및 균염을 만족하는 난연 내광 등의 복합기능성을 확보하기 위한 기초기술을 검토하였다.

Road sides safety barrier system is the last safety during traffic accident. The structural performance of a roadside safety barrier should be kept above expectations. It is possible to protect the passenger's life. End treatment part is installed in the end of the barrier it prevents a phenomenon in which for the vehicle for the guardrail during a vehicle collision it is facility of the absorbing of car crashed impact. By repeated analysis through computer simulation for improving the vehicle crash it will be able to develop crash barriers to respond appropriately to various parameters.

It is requested that the interior compartment of a passenger vehicle must be satisfied with the FMVSS201U regulation, FMH impact test. It is needed the design methodology to find the appropriate structure about the FMH impact. When designing the impact-absorbing structure for the FMH impact test, it is to be noted that the impact absorber must have different performance considering the stiffness of the vehicle as the impact position and approach angle of FMH. In this study, an efficient design methodology was developed by using subcomponent collapse simulation instead of conducting full-vehicle simulation, thereby reducing the time and resources spent. Further, this unit-model simulation helps optimize the impact absorbing structure.

자동차의 대중화에 따른 자동차교통량의 증가는 교통사고의 증가를 가져 왔으며 이것을 방지하기 위한 여러 대책이 검토되어 왔다. 특히 미국, Europe제국, 일본 및 호주 등과 같은 자동차 선진 국에서는 자동차에 기인하는 안전, 배기, 굉음 등이 사회환경에 미치는 영향, 즉 자동차가 사회에 미치는 마이너스면을 가능한 한 줄이기 위해 일찍부터 자동차에 관한 각종법규가 제정, 정비 되어 왔다. 또한 근년의 석유위기로 인하여 에너지의 국가적인 절약을 목적으로, 자동차의 연료 경제성에 관한 법규도 제정되었다. 자동차의 기술개발 중에서 안전성을 확보하기 위한 제연구 및 그 우선도는 높은 비중을 차지하게 되었으며, 그 결과 자동차의 안전기술은 매년 비약적으로 진보하여 사고회피성능, 충돌시의 탑승자보호성능, 화제대책등 각 분야에 걸쳐 많은 발전을 하여 왔다. 안전성을 높이기 위해, 차체의 강도를 높이면 중량이 증가하여 연비가 나빠지게 되며, 또 배출gas가 악화된다. 즉 여러 요인이 상호간섭 하여 영향을 주게 되므로 법규의 내용을 지키 기에 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 비상한 연구와 노력이 필요하다. 특히 최근에는 자동차가 인 간사회에 미치는 영향이 크고 자동차(특히 승용차)가 기술이나 지식, 경험에 있어서 그다지 숙 련되지 않은 사람들도 사용하는 대중상품화되어 각종의 법규제도 점점 강화되어 가는 경향이 있다. 따라서 각국의 법규에 일치하면서 사회나 구입자의 요구에 부음하고 구내자동차의 수출을 촉진시키기 위해서는, 각국법규에 대한 면밀한 검토와 이에 대한 대응책이 필요하다. 여기서는 자동차의 안전에 관한 개요 및 이에 관련된 각국의 법규를 개략적으로 소개하고자 한다.

An unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard, which is operated by wireless device. A drone provides the capability for the aerial search and traffic control as a police equipment. It has benefits for the missions for the aerial photography with the high resolution camera which can replace eye-dependent search processes. Moreover it has advantage of retrieving several times for the recorded videos. However, if the law enforcement agency misuse and overuse a drone for investigations and search missions without certain regulations and principles, it breaches privacy and personal information infringement. In this paper, we issue a lawful challenges on drone operations and discuss solutions to those challenges.

The optimal rib pattern design of B-pillar trim considering occupant head protection can be determined by two methods. One is the conventional approximate optimization method that uses the statistical design of experiments (DOE) and response surface method (RSM). Generally, approximated optimum results are obtained through the iterative process by trial-and-error. The quality of results strongly depends on the factors and levels assigned by a designer. The other is a methodology derived from previous work by the authors, called the sequential design of experiments (SDOE), to reduce the trial-and-error procedure and to find an appropriate condition for using artificial neural network (ANN) systematically. An appropriate condition is determined from the iterative process based on the analysis of means. With this new technique and ANN, it is possible to find an optimum design accurately and efficiently.

Recently, the number of road construction is increasing by industrial development. According to this industrial tendency, the number of traffic accidents are consistently increasing due to increasing number of vehicle on the road. This is mainly because traffic accidents are occurred by various parameter such as negligence of driver, vehicle defects, state of unstable road, natural environment etc. Lane department of vehicles from guardrail is occurring frequently. This type of accident is caused by vehicle performance improvement and shape of vehicle, weak guardrail installation and maintenance. Guardrail has the purpose on prevention such as prevention of traffic accident and prevention of deviating out of road, minimizing damage of driver and vehicle by collision as well as entry into the road through guardrail. Stability evaluation test of guardrail verifies the behavior of guardrail through the crash of truck. At this time, the crash condition has 100 km/h of velocity and $15^{\circ}$ of impact angle. In the case of ground condition, filling slope condition has relatively high bearing capacity of infinite ground towards the test. Guardrail is generally installed on road of shoulder in fill slope in korea. It is possible for stability problem to deteriorate ground bearing capacity in Guardrail in fill slope. The existed study towards stability of guardrail has been carried out in the infinite ground. However, the study on the behavior of fill slope with guardrail is not performed by vehicle collision. Therefore, In this study, the numerical analysis using LS-DYNA was executed for verification on behavior of fill slope with guardrail through vehicle collision. This numerical analysis was carried out with change of embedded depth on installed guardrail post in shoulder of fill slope by vehicle collision and 8 tonf truck crash providing at NCAN (National Crash Analysis Center). As the result, displacement and stress on fill slope are decreased in accordance with the increase of embedded depth of guardrail post. Ground bearing capacity is deteriorated at depth of 450 mm form shoulder of road on fill slope.
