To secure the safety and improve the work efficiency of forest firefighting crews, performance evaluation criteria for safety helmets were developed in this study. Because the standards for forest firefighting safety helmets are not available in Korea, we began our study based on the standards for firefighting safety helmets used by the Korea Fire Institute (KFI). Eleven test items were selected excluding 15 other items out of the 26 test items that, through the consultation of stakeholders and the review of foreign standards, were initially included in our study. Two types of general safety helmets and one firefighting helmet were tested by applying KFI standards, and the results were compared. The general safety helmets did not meet the standards of the retention system and chin strap. Additionally, polyethylene and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene materials were found to be especially weak under heat conditions. We compared the criteria of KFI, International Standardization Organization (ISO) 16073, National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) 1977, NFPA 1971, and British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 443, and finally selected 11 test items and their acceptance criteria suitable for the work environment of forest firefighting crews in Korea.

Electromygram was measured in three different cases; not wearing of a helmet, wearing of a 920g helmet, and wearing of a 1310g helmet, and it was revealed that there was a high level of muscle activities on the opposite side (sternocleidomastoid muscle) while the head and the neck were moving right and left and muscle activities of the curve and of the hyperextension were found to be not significant. Especially, the presence of a helmet seemed to cause a difference in a level of muscle activities on the deltoid and erector spine muscles while lifting or lowering with a weight placed on the deniz backboard. Therefore, it would be possible to assume that this newly developed smart helmet would not affect muscles around the necks of paramedics if they do not move their necks and heads right and left while lowering or lifting a patient using the deniz backboard. In addition, in case of the deltoid and erector spine muscles, it is shown that an increase in the degree of movement could lead to an increase in the level of muscle activities on the muscles controlling of the corresponding action, which are waist and back muscles. Despite it, it would be possible to prevent possible injuries and/or muscular and skeletal diseases around the lumbar by fully complying with a basic rule of straightening of the waist while making a power-lifting motion.

The helmet is an imperative personal protective equipment. This protective device must be able to guard the human head against potential risks. Helmets are classified according into the purpose of use; therefore, the required performance and specifications depend on the type of products. Military helmets are intended to protect the wearer's head from bullets and shrapnel. Generally, lightweight super fibers and fiber reinforced composite materials are used as helmet shell materials, and NIJ STD of U.S. Department of Justice is most widely used as international standard related to bulletproof helmets. Safety helmets are widely used for industrial application and sports leisure. In general, the performance of shock absorption must be ensured, and various lining systems are applied in material, design, and combination methods. Evaluation standards have also been classified and strictly controlled for each purpose; therefore, it is difficult to certify with the existing standards such as the recently developed convergence helmets. However, it is possible to launch the product through a separate national integrated certification procedure.

본 연구는 오토바이에서 생성되는 유선통신 신호와 GPS를 이용한 속도를 수집하여 헬멧에 전송하여 스마트폰을 이용해 현재 위치정보와 오토바이에서 전달되는 속도 정보 등을 저장한 블랙박스 App과 무전 기능인 멀티통신 App을 개발했다. 또한 오토바이에서 생성된 속도 데이터나 신호 데이터값을 거치대를 통해 헬멧으로 전달되어 헬멧에 Headup Display를 통해 운전자에 전달하는 Headup Display를 탑재한 헬멧을 연구개발 하였다. 본 연구의 결과물은 오토바이 등 여러 사람이 함께 이동하면서 서로의 정보를 실시간으로 공유할 수 있어서 효과적으로 활용할 수 있다. 연구의 한계점은 연구소에서 실험적으로 개발 운용한 모델로서 상업적인 접근에 대한 구체적인 방안이 필요하다.

최근 전동킥보드 보급이 이루어지면서 이와 관련된 교통사고가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 전동킥보드 주행 시 헬멧 착용을 의무화하는 도로교통법 개정안이 시행되고 있지만, 물리적으로 대부분 현장에서 단속이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 영상인식 기술을 활용한 객체검출(object detection) 모델인 YOLOv4를 기반으로 전동킥보드 사용자의 헬멧 미착용 검출시스템을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 전동킥보드 주행 시 헬멧 착용 여부를 효율적으로 단속하는데 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

It is important to secure the driver's external field view in armored vehicles surrounded by iron armor for preparation for the enemy's firepower. For this purpose, a 360 degree rotatable surveillance camera is mounted on the vehicle. In this case, the key idea is to recognize the head of the driver wearing a helmet so that the external camera rotated in exactly the same direction. In this paper, we introduce a method that uses a MEMS-based AHRS sensor and a illuminance sensor to compensate for the disadvantages of the existing optical method and implements it with low cost. The key idea is to set the direction of the camera by using the difference between the Euler angles detected by two sensors mounted on the camera and the helmet, and to adjust the direction with illuminance sensor from time to time to remove the drift error of sensors. The implemented prototype will show the camera's direction matches exactly in driver's one.

Due to the recent development of battery technology, various types of means of transportation such as electric kickboards, Segways, and electric bicycles have emerged, which can be defined as Personal Mobility. In this paper, as the incidence of safety accidents increases due to the increase in the number of users of Personal Mobility, safety helmet devices that strengthen safety capabilities and peripheral recognition functions were studied. In order for the helmet to send a safety signal, Arduino was used as a base to set the value of the sensor according to changes in distance and angle using the ultrasonic sensor to minimize errors and ensure smooth recognition. In addition, a gyro sensor was used to turn on the direction indicator according to each slope. Using a CDS sensor, the LED is designed to turn on when it goes below 150 lux at night. Finally, it is possible to check whether a helmet is worn within 5cm, and when driving at an average speed, the direction indicator light is turned on at 10 degrees, and the LED is turned on at less than 150 lux.

최근 많은 사람들이 자전거 및 전동 스쿠터 등을 이용한 여가활동이 확산되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 이러한 상황에 대비해 발생되는 관련 사고가 한해 평균 1.5만건 이상으로 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히 사고와 관련해 전방 부주의로 일어나는 사고 보다는 측면 및 후방에서의 장애물을 인지하지 못해 발생하는 사고가 60%나 된다고 한다. 본 프로젝트는 이러한 현상의 감소에 일조하기 위해 안전에 필수인 헬멧에 스마트 센서를 장착해 전, 측, 후방을 사전에 감지하고 이를 사용자에게 알릴 수 있는 스마트 안전 헬멧에 관한 내용을 다루고 있다.
