In this study, we analyzed and experimented about electric continuity for human body safety from green cars. And we compared power systems of HEV and examined about human body effect of current and time. We investigated internal and external standards and regulations for human body safety from high voltage electrical equipments. Indirect contact refers to contact between the human body and exposed conductive parts. According to UNECE R100, ISO 23273-3, ISO 6469-3 and Japanese Regulation Attachment 101, electric continuity between any two exposed conductive parts shall not exceed $0.1{\Omega}$. The value of electric continuity was measured below $0.1{\Omega}$ at the actual condition of green car. We expected that the results of these experiments can utilize to data for electrical safety of green car.

Secondary batteries used in electric vehicles have a potential risk of ignition and explosion. Various safety measures are being taken to prevent these risks. A numerical study was performed using a computational fluid dynamics code on the cases where pressure relief vents that can reduce the blast overpressures of batteries were installed in the through-compression test room, short-circuit drop test room, combustion test room, and immersion test room in facilities rleated to battery used in electric vehicles. This study was conducted using the weight of TNT equivalent to the energy release from the battery, where the the thermal runaway energy was set to 324,000 kJ for the capacity of the lithium-ion battery was 90 kWh and the state of charge (SOC) of the battery of 100%. The explosion energy of TNT (△H_TNT) generally has a range of 4,437 to 4,765 kJ/kg, and a value of 4,500 kJ/kg was thus used in this study. The dimensionless explosion efficiency coefficient was defined as 15% assuming the most unfavorable condition, and the TNT equivalent mass was calculated to be 11 kg. The internal explosion generated in a test room shows the very complex propagation behavior of blast waves. The shock wave generated after the explosion creates reflected shock waves on all inner surfaces. If the internally reflected shock waves are not effectively released to the outside, the overpressures inside are increased or maintained due to the continuous reflection and superposition from the inside for a long time. Blast simulations for internal explosion targeting four test rooms with pressure relief vents installed were herein conducted. It was found that that the maximum blast overpressure of 34.69 bar occurred on the rear wall of the immersion test room, and the smallest blast overpressure was calculated to be 3.58 bar on the side wall of the short-circuit drop test room.

Non-electric detonator was developed to improve the blasting efficiency of electric detonator. It is increasingly utilized in surface and tunnel blasting due to its safety in external electric shock, precise delayed time, and decrease in blasting vibration and noise. The paper describes the detonating system of non-electric detonator, principle operating and planning methods, and case history so that it can be contributed to improve blasting technology.

Electric accidents, like getting electrified, sometimes happen to people working on electricity. A highly probable reason why these electric accidents happen is that workers are used to skip confirming disconnection of electricity when they work. It is mostly because they have little understanding of electricity. To overcome this, various applications such as 'electric detecting stick' are invented to check existence of electricity on working environment. But, they have not been popular due to inconvenience of carrying. So, we made a new instrument. It is a kind of nipper on which electric detecter is installed. Detecting existence of electricity is less burdensome via this tool we made.

There is a possibility that electrical sparks may occur at discontinuities in metallic structures from distance of close to high power radio/radar transmitters. Voltage may be induced on these metallic structures by the radio-frequency transmitter. In this case, a person who comes into contact with these structure may be undergone a severe electrical shock. In this paper, assessment of the electrical shock and ignition hazards was investigated through experimental which are consisted radio transmitter and metallic loop-type structure in shield room. We measured that the induced voltage was highest at 61 MHz of transmission frequency, and confirmed the possibility of electric shock and explosion induced by a voltage or spark. But it is needed additional research where is opened site.

Underwater lighting is installed in water tanks, fountains and pools in waterparks, it has direct contact with water and in case of any electrical failure due to faults from electrical equipment, there is a lot of electrical shock risk. In this paper, we proposed an improvement plan of the standard of judgment of electrical code which is MOCIE (Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy) notification by fact finding survey and analysis of the domestic and foreign codes.

In this paper, we implement a Dashcam system capable of shooting 360 degrees using a Raspberry Pi, shock sensors, distance sensors, and rotating camera with a servo motor. If there is an object approaching the vehicle by the distance sensor, the camera rotates to take a video. In the event of an external shock, videos and images are stored in the server to analyze the cause of the vehicle's accident and prevent the user from forging or tampering with videos or images. We also implement functions that transmit the message with the location and the intensity of the impact when the accident occurs and send the vehicle information to an insurance authority with by linking the system with a smart device. It is advantage that the authority analyzes the transmitted message and provides the accident handling information giving the user's safety and convenience.

Uninterrupted power supply has become indispensable during the maintenance task of active electric power lines as a result of today's highly information-oriented society and increasing demand of electric utilities. The maintenance task has the risk of electric shock and the danger of falling from high place. Therefore it is necessary to realize an autonomous robot system using electro-hydraulic manipulator because hydraulic manipulators have the advantage of electric insulation. Meanwhile it is relatively difficult to realize autonomous assembly tasks particularly in the case of manipulating flexible objects such as electric lines. In this report, a discrete event control system is introduced for automatic assembly task of electric lines into sleeves as one of the typical task of active electric power lines. In the implementation of a discrete event control system, LVQNN (linear vector quantization neural network) is applied to the insertion task of electric lines to sleeves. In order to apply these proposed control system to the unknown environment, virtual learning data for LVQNN is generated by fuzzy inference. By the experimental results of two types of electric lines and sleeves, these proposed discrete event control and neural network learning algorithm are confirmed very effective to the insertion tasks of electric lines to sleeves as a typical task of active electric power maintenance tasks.

Uninterrupted power supply has become indispensable during the maintenance task of active electric power lines as a result of today's highly information-oriented society and increasing demand of electric utilities. The maintenance task has the risk of electric shock and the danger of falling from high place. Therefore it is necessary to realize an autonomous robot system. In order to realize these tasks autonomously, the there dimensional position of target object such as electric line and the stand of insulator must be recognized accurately and rapidly. The insertion task of an electric line into a sleeve is selected as the typical task of the maintenance of active electric power distribution lines in this paper. A modified hough transform is applied to the recognition of the center of electric line and optimal target position calculation method is newly derived in order to recognize the center 3 dimensional position of the electric line. By the proposed method, it is proved that the center position of the electric line can be recognized without respect to the noise of image and the shape of electric lines and the insertion task of an electric tine is realized.
