  • Due to harsh conditions of construction site, understanding of current feature of terrain and other infrastructures is critical issue for site managers. However, because of difficulties in acquiring the geographical information of the construction sites such as large sites and limited capability of construction workers, comprehensive site investigation of current feature of construction site is not an easy task for construction managers. To address these circumstances of construction sites, this study deduce difficulties and applicabilities of unmanned aerial vehicle in the area of construction site management. To confirm applicability of UAV in civil construction project, case study have been conducted on the road construction project. The result of case study proved that the developed system is one of promising technologies that has been studied in construction site management. To improve applicability of UAV for construction and process management information, law and technical issues will be an important area of future study.

  • In order to detect fires that may not be visible to the naked eye, an IoT module that uses changes in Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and temperature to effectively identify ambers (dying flames) was developed. Finite element analysis was then used to optimize the packaging for this module. Given the nature of ambers, the low power long range LoRa (Long Range) technology was used in the development of this module. To protect the module, a number of packages were designed, and comparative analysis performed on the stress generated when they fall. The results of which show that Model C showed the lowest stress. In addition, unlike other models in which stress concentration was predicted in the module mounting part of the package, in this model the stress concentration phenomenon was predicted in the wing part. It was therefore determined that this approach is ideal for protecting the internal module, and a package to which this was applied was manufactured.

  • Medication safety and medicine delivery challenge the well-being of the elderly and the management of the elderly center. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the elderly in the care center were challenged by the inconvenience of the medication restocking. The purpose of this paper accentuates the importance of the design and development of an UAV-based Smart Medicine Case (UAV-SMC) to improve the performance of medication management and medicine delivery in the elderly center. The researchers came up with the design of UAV-SMC in the light of the UAV and IoT technology to improve the performance of both Medication Practice Management (MPM) and Low Inventory Detection and Delivery (LIDD). Based on the result, with UAV-SMC, the performance of both MPM and LIDD was significantly improved. The UAV-SMC improves the efficacy of medication management in the elderly center by 26.97 to 149.83 seconds for each medication practice and 9.03 mins for each time of medicine delivery in Subang Jaya Malaysia. This paper only investigates the adoption of UAV-SMC in the content of elderly center rather than other industries. The authors consider integrating the UAV-SMC with the e-pharmacy system in the future. In conclusion, the UAV-SMC has significantly improved the medication management and guard the safety of elderly and caretaker in the elderly in the post-pandemic times.

  • In this paper, we propose a new dataset for AI diagnosis and BLDC motor diagnosis in UAV. In the diagnosis of BLDC motor, PVA(Park's Vector Approach) is difficult to apply due to many ripples of frequency components. However, since the components of ripples are the third harmonics, we propose a method to utilize PVA as circle fitting by applying Savitzky-Golay filter which is excellent for the third harmonics. On the other hand, PVA, a technique to convert from three-phase to two-phase, is always based on the origin during the transformation process. This study demonstrates that the error of the origin and the measured center can be detected and diagnosed in the application process of Circle fitting, and that it can be used as a new data set of AI technology.

  • 우리나라는 물산업 강국 도약을 위한 글로벌 경쟁력을 갖추기 위해 2015년 세계물포럼 이후 복합 수재해 대응과 능동적 하천관리 분야가 중요시되고 있다. 기존의 하천관리는 수위관측소 및 하도계획을 중심으로 이루어져왔으나 최근에는 항공측량, 드론 등 원격관리시스템에 기반을 둔 하천 통로에 대한 입체적인 3차원 관리로의 인식 전환이 고려되는 추세이다. 대부분 수위 및 하도를 중심으로 한 조사방식은 계측장비, 인력, 시간 등 많은 소요비용이 필요하게 되어 급변하는 하천 공간 조사 기술로 제한적 요소가 많아 현재의 하천조사 시스템으로는 하천관리에 필요한 데이터를 환경변화에 맞추어 신속하고 정확하게 취득하기가 어려운 실정으로 하천관리 고도화를 위해 필요한 자료를 적기에 신속하고 효율적으로 구축할 수 있는 기술 개발 필요한 실정이다. 사회 환경의 발달로 급변하는 환경에 맞는 적정한 하천관리를 위해서는 유역 및 하천에 대한 수문정보 생산 및 하상변동조사가 필요하고 첨단기술(ICT)을 활용하여 조사의 효율성, 안전성 및 정확성을 높일 필요성이 있다. 한편, 하천유역조사는 하천유역에 대한 다양한 정보 수집을 목표로 하나 그간 유역조사에 대한 체계적인 연구가 이루어지지 않아 수요자의 요구 자료 제공이 미흡한 실정이다. 최근 수심, 하상, 하천재료 등 하천법에 규정된 측량은 현장 직접계측을 통해 실시되고 있으며 측량의 공간적·시간적 범위의 변동으로 기존 방식의 비용이 급증하게 되어 신기술을 통한 효율화가 필요한 실정이다. 현재 하천조사를 위해 위성 및 유인항공기 등 다양한 방법이 활용되고 있으나 고빙용을 수반하고 위성영상은 공간해상도가 낮아 폭이 좁은 하천에 적용하는데 한계가 있다. 또한, 폭이 좁고 길게 형성된 하천의 특성상 항공측량 보다 드론이 효율적으로 드론에 레이저 광선으로 지형을 측량하는 장비를 탑재해 3차원 지형을 측량하는 방법이 유리하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동진강 상류 하천을 대상으로 드론을 활용할 경우 투입인력 및 소요시간 절감, 장비 및 인력 진입 불가지역에 대한 정보획득, 높은 공간해상도, 항공측량 대비 경제성이 높은 것으로 판단되어 드론을 활용하여 하천지형 모니터링을 실시하여 유역관리 및 수질모델링에 필요한 지도 생성 및 유역의 공간 정보를 획득하여 향후 유역관리 모형의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다.

  • In this paper, we present a WebRTC-based emergency video call system structure that builds a service system in a constant monitoring environment to increase the usability and stability of elevator emergency call devices. The proposed system provides a smooth call environment between the emergency call system in the elevator and maintenance managers in case of an emergency, performs rapid response processing to elevator emergency calls through monitoring of the target elevator, and handles any emergency calls that may occur in the physical space of the elevator. The purpose is to build an environment that can implement low-latency, real-time video call services of voice and video by overcoming the physical constraints required for video calls. To this end, we have established a service environment based on OpenAPI, which is currently used in various fields and its performance has been proven, and provides video calls and emergency situation dissemination through rapid messaging by providing low-latency call quality. The presented system structure will be able to provide a basis for expanding various functions and constructing a reliable service environment and intelligent model for the elevator system through combination with the elevator control panel and various devices.

  • With the recent rapid growth of the domestic and international unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market and the increasing importance of UAV operations in urban centers, such as UAMs, the safety management and regulatory framework for human life and property damage caused by UAV failures has been emphasized. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of risk-cost models that evaluate the risk of an operating area for safe UAM flight path planning, and identified the main limitations of each model to derive considerations for future model development. By providing a basic model for improving the safety of UAM operations, this study is expected to make an important contribution to technical improvements and policy decisions in the field of UAM flight path planning.

  • This paper constructs a precise dynamics model using flightlab, a specialized program for rotor modeling and performance analysis, to simulate urban air mobility (UAM). flightlab is well-suited for detailed modeling of UAM, particularly requiring detailed aerodynamic characteristics under high-altitude and urban wind conditions. The study focuses on implementing and analyzing a lift-cruise UAM model with distributed propulsion using flightlab. The lift-cruise model integrates motors for vertical take-off and fixed-wing flight. Given the limited specific examples of such UAM models in flightlab and challenges in evaluating with conventional fixed-wing or drone models, this research implements and verifies the lift-cruise model using matlab, comparing its performance against flightlab results to validate the modeling approach. This research aims to explore the potential of flightlab for detailed UAM modeling and contribute to technological advancements in future urban transportation.
