The advancement of autonomous driving technology is expected to transform cars beyond mere transportation into multifunctional spaces for relaxation and entertainment. As autonomous driving technology becomes more sophisticated, with no need for direct driver control, the interior space of vehicles is anticipated to be utilized for various purposes. Consequently, the importance of car seats, the component most frequently interacted with by passengers during travel, is expected to significantly rise. However, existing car seats are designed according to a seated posture, necessitating verification for passenger safety and seat structure considerations in the context of autonomous driving, where comfortable postures may differ. For these reasons, it is anticipated that the seats of future autonomous vehicles will evolve with the incorporation of additional safety and convenience features. In this study, a three-axis car simulator was employed to investigate seat angles for comfortable postures of passengers in autonomous driving scenarios. Representative postures were identified to enhance passenger convenience. Furthermore, functional design factors contributing to passenger comfort were applied to conduct seat design, seat structure, and collision analysis, with an analysis of the interrelationships among design factors.

As the popularization of autonomous vehicles is anticipated, it is expected that the variety of passenger postures will diversify. However, the current vehicle safety system is expected to be inadequate for accommodating these diverse passenger postures, particularly in reclined positions where severe injuries have been reported in frontal collisions. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the biomechanical responses and tolerances of occupants in reclined postures. In this study, the behavior and injuries of a Hybrid-III dummy model in a reclined position are analyzed through frontal collision sled simulations equipped with the semi-rigid seat provided by the previous study, three-point safety belt with pretensioner and load limiter, and airbag models. The results are evaluated by comparing thouse reponses with post-mortem human surrogate (PMHS) data, and the findings are expected to be applicable to the basic design of a new restraint system suitable for various postures in autonomous vehicles.

항공기 사고시에 탑승객의 생존성을 제고하기 위한 방법으로 충돌/충격 전, 충격방지자세 Brace Position를 취하도록 하는 것이 전 세계 항공사의 공통적인 안전 매뉴얼이다. 해당 매뉴얼은 1980년대 미국 NTSB에서 항공기 사고를 조사하면서 생존 특성을 연구한 이후 처음 정형화 되었고 이후 현재까지 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 허드슨강의 기적으로 불리는 2009년 1월 15일 US Airways 1549편의 비상착수 사고에서 항공기의 큰 구조적인 손상이 없었음에도 불구하고 탑승객 일부가 중상을 입는 결과를 초래하여 이를 계기로 기존의 충격방지자세 적절성을 재검토하여 개선하는 움직임이 있었다. 이에 관련 연구자료를 분석하여 국내 적용 방안을 살피고 또한 추가적인 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

기후시나리오는 시 공간 해상도가 낮아 결과를 직접적으로 활용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 국내외적으로 지역기후모형(RCM)을 통해 고해상도 기후시나리오를 생산하여 각 분야의 영향평가 시 활용하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 기후모형이 갖는 한계로 인하여 시나리오는 관측자료에 비해 과소모의되는 경향이 발생하기 때문에 이를 고려할 수 있는 편의보정 과정이 필요하다. 하지만 국내 외적으로 여러 편의보정기법이 존재하며, 편의보정기법 선정에 따라 최종 평가 결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 특히 수문 분야에서 활용하기 위해 기후시나리오 중 가장 중요한 요건은 일단 관측치의 월 및 계절별 변동성이 잘 반영되는 가이며, 두 번째는 극한 사상(high, low)을 얼마나 잘 모의하여 홍수와 가뭄을 평가하는데 용이한 가이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 편의보정 기법의 불확실성을 평가하고, 이를 통해 수문학적 활용을 위한 고해상도 기후시나리오의 편의 보정 기법을 제안 및 적용성 평가를 수행하고자 한다. 기존 편의보정기법의 적용성을 평가하기 위해 Change factor method, Quantile mapping, Weather Generator 등을 이용하였다. 이를 위해 역학적으로 상세화된 기후시나리오와 기상청 관할의 기상관측소의 최고기온, 최저기온, 평균기온, 강수량 등의 기후 자료를 수집하였다. 평가를 위해 선정한 관측소 지점은 1951년부터 강수 및 기온 자료가 존재하는 기상청 관할 기상관측소를 토대로, 지역적인 평가를 위해 최종적으로 서울, 강릉, 대구, 부산, 목포, 광주, 전주, 울산, 추풍령을 선정하였다. 이 중 1956~1980년을 과거기간으로 1981~2005년를 미래기간으로 가정하고, 편의 보정 기법 적용하여 기온과 강수량의 통계적 특성을 비교 분석하였으며 평가결과, 편의보정 기법의 따른 한계점들을 도출하였다. 한계점들을 개선하기 위해 본 연구에서 제안한 편의 보정기법은 강수량을 크게 3단계(극한 호우사상, 강수일수, 평균 표준편차 보정)로 나누어 편의보정을 실시하는 것으로 극한 호우사상을 위해서는 연최대치 계열을 이용한 회귀식을 이용하여 보정하였고, 비초과확률을 이용하여 RCM 결과값의 강수일수를 보정하였다. 최종적으로 나머지 강수시나리오에 대해서 평균과 표준편차를 보정하여 최종시나리오를 생산 및 적용성을 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 기존 편의보정기법의 단점을 극복할 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 향후 수문학 분야에 적용하여 신뢰성 있는 기후변화 영향평가를 수행될 수 있을 것이다. 제안한 편의보정 기법 및 평가 결과에 대한 자세한 내용은 발표 시 제시하고자 한다.

Recently the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in students and office workers is increasing, and the necessity of maintaining correct posture and corrective training is required, but related research is insufficient. In the previous study, a membrane sensor or a pressure sensor was placed on the seat cushion to see the deviation of the body weight, or a sensor that restrained the user was attached to measure the position change. In this study, a sensor device for detecting a position change in consideration of wearing comfort was developed, and the measured angle was verified through an analysis app. A sensor device consisting of an IMU sensor is attached to the cervical spine and vertebra spine to measure the position transformation in the sitting position. The change value of the position measured by the two sensors was converted into an angle, and the angle value is displayed in real time through the analysis app. In this study, the possibility of measuring the real-time change value according to the change in position, the convenience of wearing, and the tendency of angle measurement were proved. Future research should proceed with more precise angle calculation and correction of motion noise.

Purpose : To develop a patients' setup verification tool (PSVT) to verify the alignment of the machine and the target isocenters, and the reproduclbility of patients' setup for three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The utilization of this system is evaluated through phantom and patient case studies. Materials and methods : We developed and clinically tested a new method for patients' setup verification, using digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR), simulation, porial and digital images. The PSVT system was networked to a Pentium PC for the transmission of the acquired images to the PC for analysis. To verify the alignment of the machine and target isocenters, orthogonal pairs of simulation images were used as verification images. Errors in the isocenter alignment were measured by comparing the verification images with DRR of CT Images. Orthogonal films were taken of all the patients once a week. These verification films were compared with the DRR were used for the treatment setup. By performing this procedure every treatment, using humanoid phantom and patient cases, the errors of localization can be analyzed, with adjustments made from the translation. The reproducibility of the patients' setup was verified using portal and digital images. Results : The PSVT system was developed to verify the alignment of the machine and the target isocenters, and the reproducibility of the patients' setup for 3DCRT and IMRT. The results show that the localization errors are 0.8$\pm$0.2 mm (AP) and 1.0$\pm$0.3 mm (Lateral) in the cases relating to the brain and 1.1$\pm$0.5 mm (AP) and 1.0$\pm$0.6 mm (Lateral) in the cases relating to the pelvis. The reproducibility of the patients' setup was verified by visualization, using real-time image acquisition, leading to the practical utilization of our software Conclusions : A PSVT system was developed for the verification of the alignment between machine and the target isocenters, and the reproduclbility of the patients' setup in 3DCRT and IMRT. With adjustment of the completed GUI-based algorithm, and a good quality DRR image, our software may be used for clinical applications.

With the advance of autonomous vehicle technology various sitting posture is possible like relax position (inclined seating posture). Parametric study was done with MADYMO, a mutibody dynamics solver, to investigate the effect of sitting posture in different frontal crash modes, full frontal, 40% offset, and angled rigid barrier crash as well as various impact speeds. Hybrid III 50th male and 5th female dummies were used to figure out the difference induced by occupant weight and dimension. Restraint system parameters complying to current safety protocols like NCAP are studied if they still work effectively in relax position which is feasible with autonomous vehicles.
