This paper presents the requirements analysis for the Terrestrial DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service (AEAS) Standard. First, the basic concepts in disaster management and the AEAS system structure are presented as a background. Next, other emergency alert systems and the related standards are analyzed. We propose taxonomy to categorize the emergency alert systems and analyze the characteristics of each system. Next, we analyze advantages of T-DMB for the delivery medium of emergency alert message and problems to resolve for the enhanced performance. Finally, we propose service requirements which will achieve general/special-purpose, non-interrupting, location-adaptive, automatic, message delivery service. The paper will contribute as a guideline to the development for emergency alert service standards for other broadcasting media.

This paper presents the design of service model, transport channel, and service signaling for the Terrestrial DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service (AEAS) Standard. The paper begins with the analysis of technical backgrounds related to the design topics. Next, the raper presents the design of service model for the AEAS. Since, unlike the regular T-DMB services, the AEAS is event-driven and common to all services, some problems have been identified to design a service model conforming to the T-DMB standard. So, the paper proposes a new concept, called the common service, and the AEAS is modeled using the common service. Next, in order to decide the transport channel for the alert information, the paper proposes to divide the alert information into the message which contains code/text-based essential information, and the supplemental multimedia information. Then, the paper tries to find the most efficient transport channels. Emergency Warning Service (EWS) which uses FIG 5/2 is selected for the delivery of the message. The paper proposes no constraints on delivery of supplemental information except that it shall use the MSC. Finally, it proposes the service signaling for the common service and transport channel. Due to the problems of conventional signaling using the MCI, it proposes a new signaling method. The paper will contribute as a guideline to the development for emergency alert service standards fur other broadcasting media.

The development of applications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) has very specific and clear goals such as providing intellectual safe transport systems. An emergency warning technic for public safety is one of the applications which requires an intelligent broadcast mechanism to transmit warning messages quickly and efficiently against the time restriction. The broadcast storm problem causing several packet collisions and extra delay has to be considered to design a broadcast protocol for VANETs, when multiple nodes attempt transmission simultaneously at the access control layer. In this paper, we propose an early intelligent alert broadcasting (EI-CAST) algorithm to resolve effectively the broadcast storm problem and meet time-critical requirement. The proposed algorithm uses not only the early alert technic on the basis of time to collision (TTC) but also the intelligent broadcasting technic on the basis of fuzzy logic, and the performance of the proposed algorithm was compared and evaluated through simulation with the existing broadcasting algorithms. It was demonstrated that the proposed algorithm shows a vehicle can receive the alert message before a collision and have no packet collision when the distance of alert region is less than 4 km.

Currently, the domestic early warning system is issued differently for each disaster, and is operated independently by relevant organizations from central government to local governments. Representative domestic disaster warning systems include disaster broadcasting using CBS(Cell Broadcasting Service) and DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) Automatic Emergency Alert Service, DITS(Disaster Information Transform System) transmitted and displayed on TV screens, automatic response system, automated rainfall warning system, and disaster message board. However, due to the difference in the method of issuing each emergency alert at the site of an emergency disaster, the alerts are issued at different times for each media, and the delivered content is also not integrated. If these systems are integrated, it is expected that damage to people's property and lives will be minimized by sharing and integrated management of disaster information such as voice, video, and data to comprehensively judge and make decisions about disaster situations. Therefore, in this study, we present a plan for the integration of the disaster warning system along with the analysis of the operation status of the domestic early warning system.

Current standard for T-DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service(AEAS) contains controversial problems in service signaling. In this paper, we first describe two important characteristics of AEAS which hinder normal MCI service signaling: Common Service and Aperiodic Service. Next, we propose four method to overcome the problems, followed by the characteristics of each method. In this analysis, current T-DMB standard, the broadcasting system, and receivers are the major player to decide the optimum service signaling method. This analysis will be also applied to the design of transmission standard for other media such as cable, satellite, the Internet, etc.

2005년 국내에서 본방송을 실시한 DMB는 모바일 방송이라는 새로운 방송 이용 환경을 창출하였다. 더불어 기존 TV를 통한 재난 방송의 사각지대로 거론되어 온 야외, 정전, 해상, 이동 환경에서 재난정보를 전달할 수 있어 방송 매체로 평가되면서, 다양한 기술 개발이 진행되었다. KBS는 DMB를 통한 재난경보방송 기술을 구현하여 2008년 제주도 지역 실험방송과 2009년 전국 실험방송을 거쳐 2010년 8월부터 본방송을 실시하는 등, DMB 재난경보방송 체계 마련을 위해 노력하여 왔다. 이러한 과정에서 차기 국가 모바일 재난경보 체계 마련의 필요성과 방향성에 대한 경험적 안을 제시해 본다. 본 연구는 급변하는 미디어 환경을 고려하여 모바일 재난 정보 전달체계에서 통신망의 역할을 강화하여 방송과 융합한 모델을 마련하고, 조속히 범국가적 재난정보의 표준 규격을 마련할 것을 촉구하며, 궁극적으로 뉴미디어 도입 정책에서 재난 정보전달에 관한 공공성 정책이 우선되어야 함을 제시하였다.

In this paper, broadcasting contents management system which is for sharing user-created information in restricted areas is proposed. By the proposed system, the information is compulsively sent to a television set receiving broadcasting contents via various transmit media. So, user should be contacting the information while they are watching broadcasting contents.

This study is a study dealing with the empirical test of standardized multimedia disaster warning broadcasting linked with the next-generation prediction and warning platform and the disaster warning additional data service of terrestrial UHD broadcasting. The next-generation prediction and warning platform used in the demonstration test complies with the CAP-based TTA standardization standard, and the UHD disaster warning additional data service complies with the AEAT standard. As a result of the experiment, when a standardized CAP disaster warning message is issued and delivered to a broadcasting company, a system was established so that it is automatically converted to AEAT, a UHD disaster warning additional data message, and transmitted. The receiver unit was configured by connecting a set-top capable of receiving disaster alert data and a TV with an HDMI cable. When a disaster is announced, the set-top displays the AEAT message on the TV broadcasting screen, customized to the priority of the disaster and the area where it is issued. In addition, incoming messages are displayed in a language suitable for user settings among 5 languages. Additional multimedia functions such as images and alarm sounds could also be linked. In particular, it was confirmed that the receiver message was displayed within 3 seconds of issuing the disaster alert, enabling prompt delivery of the disaster alert.

본 논문에서는 기존 재난문자의 원리인 CBS(Cell Broadcast Service)의 한계를 극복하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 재난 상황에서 CBS는 단방향으로 사람들에게 정보를 전달할 수 있으나 양방향 소통이 불가능하여, 어떤 사람이 어디에서 문제를 겪고 있는지를 파악할 수 없다. 재난 상황 시 효율적으로 정보를 관리하고, 요구조자에 대한 구조를 진행할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 상황 설명과 위치 등을 생략하는 등 재난 피해 신고를 간편화하여 재난 상황으로 인한 피해를 추정하기 힘들다는 문제를 개선할 수 있다. 또한 이전에는 위치와 상황을 구체적으로 알려야 신고가 접수되었지만, 사용자가 위치와 상황을 구체적으로 알리지 않더라도 문자로 구조 요청이 가능해진다. 더 나아가, 재난 상황 시 음성을 추적할 수 있게 하여 직접 구조요청을 하지 못하는 상황에 대한 대처도 가능하다.

Natural and social disasters, such as typhoons, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, explosions, and traffic accidents occur frequently around the world. In Korea, a vicious cycle of large-scale accidents caused by natural disasters and insensitivity to safety is repeated each year. In particular, the tragic sinking of the Sewol ferry in 2014 and strong earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.0 and greater in Gyeongju and Pohang in 2016 and 2017, respectively, threw the entire country into a state of shock, increasing the public anxiety regarding disaster preparedness. This paper discusses the trends in broadcast emergency alert systems used to minimize damage from a disaster by delivering urgent status information quickly and accurately through a broadcast network, and to provide information regarding disaster risk and emergency evacuation procedures.
