The position of autonomous driving vehicle is basically acquired through the global positioning system (GPS). However, GPS signals cannot be received in tunnels. Due to this limitation, localization of autonomous driving vehicles can be made through sensors mounted on them. In particular, a 3D Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system is used for longitudinal position error correction. Few feature points and structures that can be used for localization of vehicles are available in tunnels. Since lanes in the road are normally marked by solid line, it cannot be used to recognize a longitudinal position. In addition, only a small number of structures that are separated from the tunnel walls such as sign boards or jet fans are available. Thus, it is necessary to extract usable information from tunnels to recognize a longitudinal position. In this paper, fire hydrants and evacuation guide lights attached at both sides of tunnel walls were used to recognize a longitudinal position. These structures have highly distinctive reflectivity from the surrounding walls, which can be distinguished using LIDAR reflectivity data. Furthermore, reflectivity information of tunnel walls was fused with the road surface reflectivity map to generate a synthetic reflectivity map. When the synthetic reflectivity map was used, localization of vehicles was able through correlation matching with the local maps generated from the current LIDAR data. The experiments were conducted at an expressway including Maseong Tunnel (approximately 1.5 km long). The experiment results showed that the root mean square (RMS) position errors in lateral and longitudinal directions were 0.19 m and 0.35 m, respectively, exhibiting precise localization accuracy.

University buildings are energy-guzzling facility that consume more than 10,000TOE within a campus annually. Even the consumption is on an upswing trend. Behind such high consumption are there cheap power rates for education facility, lack of high-efficiency equipment and ever-increasing use of various information equipment. Being keenly aware that greenhouse gas emission increases due to such rise of energy consumption, the present study carried out a case study. In the case study, the study chose the buildings of E university from top 10 universities that consume energy most in Seoul and examined the current status of their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission. And then it set the reduction target of greenhouse gas by year. Putting aside a middle and long-termed strategy for later endeavor, it first established the 1st year's implementation plan (2014) for energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction with limited budget and according to greenhouse gas reduction target. The plan is specified as follows. Targets for energy saving are mainly divided into two sectors: machine equipment and electric equipment. 7 ideas were proposed. Three ideas to improve machine equipment are to replace with high-efficiency boilers and chillers and to adjust the position of the cooling tower. By doing so, it was estimated that energy could be saved by 176.34TOE in total and greenhouse gas could be reduced by 370.771t$CO_2$-eq. Four ideas to improve electric equipment include the replacement with LED lights, LED emergency lights and high-efficiency motors and the installation of motion sensors. It was calculated that such replacement could conserve 1,076.08TOE (electric energy) and reduce 2,181.420t$CO_2$-eq (greenhouse gas).

대형 누수와 같은 상수도 사고가 발생했을 경우 신속한 대응조치를 위해서는 현장 관리자가 문제가 발생한 관로의 제수변을 찾아 제어해야 한다. 그러나 현재 상수도 시스템으로는 해당 제수변을 찾는 것이 쉽지 않고, 찾았다하더라도 관련 정보를 바로 알 수 없어 신속하게 대응하지 못하는 문제를 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 GPS와 증강현실 기술을 사용하여 제수변 위치를 찾는 시스템을 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템은 자이로, 가속도계, 자기 센서를 포함한 안도로이드 장치의 센서를 활용하여 원격 데이터베이스 서버의 위치 데이터와 장치의 현재 GSP 위치가 일치하는 밸브를 찾는다. 또한 증강현실 기술을 사용하여 캡처한 실제 장면에 그래픽 패턴과 추가 정보들을 오버레이하여 나타내었다. 본 연구의 시스템 구현으로 제수변의 체계적인 관리가 가능하므로 사고 발생 시 신속한 대응으로 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

For many mission-critical related wireless sensor network applications such as military and homeland security, user's access restriction is necessary to be enforced by access control mechanisms for different access rights. Public key-based access control schemes are more attractive than symmetric-key based approaches due to high scalability, low memory requirement, easy key-addition/revocation for a new node, and no key predistribution requirement. Although Wang et al. recently introduced a promising access control scheme based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), it is still burdensome for sensors and has several security limitations (it does not provide mutual authentication and is strictly vulnerable to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks). This paper presents an energy-efficient access control scheme based on ECC to overcome these problems and more importantly to provide dominant energy-efficiency. Through analysis and simulation based evaluations, we show that the proposed scheme overcomes the security problems and has far better energy-efficiency compared to current scheme proposed byWang et al.

The importance of display is becoming increasingly important due to the development of information and industry where it leads to diverse and abundant information in today's society. The demand and application range for FPD(Flat Panel Display), specifically represented by LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) and PDP(Plasma Display Panel), have been rapidly growing for its outstanding performance and convenience amongst many other forms of display. The current focus has been on OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode) in the mobile form, which has just entered into mass production amid the different types of FPD. Many studies are being conducted in regards to device, vacuum evaporation, encapsulation, and drive circuits with the development of device as a matter of the utmost concern. This study develops a new type of light-emitting materials by synthesizing medical polymer organic chitosan and phosphor material CuS. Chitosan itself satisfies the Pool-Frenkel Effect, an I-V specific curve, with a thin film under $20{mu}m$, and demonstrates production possibility for a living body sensors solely with the thin film. Furthermore, it enables production possibility for EML of organic EL device(Emitting Layer) with liquid Green light emitting and Blue light emitting as a result of synthesis with phosphor material.

증강현실은 지리정보의 가시화 특히 현장에서의 직접적인 가시화에 있어 매우 높은 잠재력이 있다. 하지만 현재까지의 대부분의 이동형 증강현실 시스템은 사용자의 정확한 위치를 파악하기 위해 GPS 또는 범용적으로 쓰이는 마커를 현장에 붙이는 등의 방식을 사용되었다. 물론 최근의 연구에서 마커없는 환경을 지향하고 있으나 대부분 연구실 또는 제어 환경으로 사용이 제한되어 있다. 특히 실내의 경우 GPS를 사용할 수 없기 때문에 새로운 위치파악기술이 더욱 절실하다. 최근 활발히 활용되고 있는 무선(RF)기반의 실내 위치확인 및 내비게이션 기술 역시 대량의 센서와 인식기를 설치한다는 점에서 그 실용성이 의문이다. 본 연구에서는 단일카메라기반의 SLAM 알고리듬을 이용하여 특수한 하드웨어 없이 카메라만으로 실내 위치 확인 및 내비게이션이 가능한 알고리듬을 제시하였으며, 동시에 확인된 위치에서 증강현실을 통한 정보의 가시화가 가능하도록 구현 하였다. 향후 본 연구가 목표하고 있는 실내외 seamless 연동형 u-GIS 시스템의 기본 기능으로 활용 될 것이다.

Conventional piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) senor has high sensitivity, but it is very brittle. Recently polymer films such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) have been used use as a sensor. The advantages of PVDF are the flexibility and mechanical toughness. Simple process and possible several shapes are also additional advantages. PVDF sensor can be directly embedded and attached to a structure. In this study, PVDF sensor was embedded in single glass fiber/epoxy composites whereas PZT sensor with AE was attached to single fiber composites (SFC). Piezoelectric sensor responds to interfacial damage of SFC. The signals measured by PVDF sensor were compared to PZT sensor. PZT sensor detected the signals of fiber fracture, matrix crack, interfacial debonding and even sensor delamination, whereas PVDF sensor only detected fiber fracture signals so far, because PZT sensor is much more sensitive than current PVDF sensor. Wave voltage of fiber fracture measured by PVDF sensor was lower than that of PZT sensor, but the results of fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis were same. Wave velocity using two PZT sensors was also studied to know the internal and surface damage effect of epoxy specimens.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서 모든 센서노드들은 한정된 배터리로 통신에 참여하게 된다 기존의 인증방식을 사용하는 경우 많은 연산 수행이 필요하여 센서노드의 배터리를 과다하게 소모하여 센서노드의 동작 기간이 상대적으로 짧아지므로 네트워크 유지에 많은 어려움이 존재한다. 이 논문에서는 센서노드의 인증과정에서 전력 소비문제를 해견하기 위해 RM (RegisterManager)과 AM (AuthenticationManager)을 도입한 네트워크 구조를 제시하고, 노드의 상호인증을 통한 세션키를 발급하는 저전력 상호인증 프로토콜을 제안한다. RM과 AM은 개댈 센서노드에서 안전성을 보장하기 위해 수행되는 키 생성 및 암/복호화, 인증 과정을 센서노드 대신 처리하여 빠른 연산속도로 알고리즘을 처리한다. 따라서 센서노드의 인증에 소요되는 알고리즘 수행시간이 동일 서브넷에 존재하는 경우 평균 2.96$\%$, 서로 다른 서브넷에 존재하는 경우 평균 12.91$\%$ 빠르게 수행된다. 따라서 제안 방식은 센서 노드가 더 오랜 시간 통신에 참여할 수 있도록 하며, 센서네트워크의 크기가 증가할수록 효율적이다.

지진, 태풍, 쓰나미 등의 환경재해에 대한 피해 뉴스가 빈발하게 보도되고 있다. 이러한 자연재해로부터 구조물의 건전성이 위협받는 상황에서 이를 최대한 빠르게 확인하여 정확한 경보를 하는 것만이 인명 및 재산의 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 경보시스템의 오경보를 줄이고 정확성을 높이고자 전문가 시스템을 설계하였다. 전문가 시스템은 인접해 있는 다수의 센서를 하나의 그룹으로 바라보고 단일 센서가 아닌 인접한 센서의 상태를 함께 비교함으로 모니터링 시스템의 신뢰도 높이는데 초점을 두고 있다. 시설물 유지 관리자에게 건전성 유무를 판단할 정확한 자료를 제공하는 것은 조기대응으로 인한 현재의 피해를 최소화할 수 있으며, 추후 발생할 수 있는 추가적인 피해를 예방할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

The application of Internet of Things (IoT) in the next generation cellular networks imposes a new characteristic on the data traffic, where a massive number of small packets need to be transmitted. In addition, some emerging IoT-based emergency services require a real-time data delivery within a few milliseconds, referring to as ultra-low latency transmission. However, current techniques cannot provide such a low latency in combination with a mice-flow traffic. In this paper, we propose a dynamic resource reservation schema based on an air-interface slicing scheme in the context of a massive number of sensors with emergency flows. The proposed schema can achieve an air-interface latency of a few milliseconds by means of allowing emergency flows to be transported through a dedicated radio connection with guaranteed network resources. In order to schedule the delay-sensitive flows immediately, dynamic resource updating, silence-probability based collision avoidance, and window-based re-transmission are introduced to combine with the frame-slotted Aloha protocol. To evaluate performance of the proposed schema, a probabilistic model is provided to derive the analytical results, which are compared with the numerical results from Monte-Carlo simulations.
