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.

In this paper, a fast and reliable emergency broadcasting system for Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) Mobile DTV is proposed. The proposed protocol is based on the Emergency Alert Message (EAM) standard currently used for cable TV emergency broadcasting in the United States. The protocol is implemented and evaluated to enable fast emergency information propagation. ATSC Mobile DTV enables digital mobile broadcasting without affecting the existing ATSC legacy digital TV system. Since ATSC Mobile DTV devices are mobile and self-powered, they can effectively propagate emergency information. The proposed emergency broadcasting protocol can be applied in all countries adopting the ATSC standard.

The 'alert' is to provide a signal or information beforehand, in order to prepare against situations in which abrupt incidents or disasters are expected. In other words, the purpose of alert is to help people or respondents to take precautions against and quickly cope with disasters or incidents, before those actually occur. This paper draws requirements of alert system from definitions of the alert and cases of it home and abroad. Following requirements of alert system are derived to allow subjects responsible for alert issue to quickly handle changes of situations; 1) identification of subjects responsible for alert issue, 2) use of definite terms regarding alert levels, for prompt actions, and 3) distinct separations among alert levels. This paper suggests improvement directions by extracting several problems of National Crisis Alert System according to such requirements.

This paper proposes a fire shunt guidance system model based on rule, it presents suitable shunt route in real-time according to collected fire information of the building inside using wireless sensor networks. So, this system model is composed of the sensor alert module, the behavior suggestion module, and the emergency device control module. The sensor alert module uses rule-base algorithm that monitored the information to collect periodically in wireless sensor networks. And, the behavior suggestion module proposed a suitable behavior, this module supports to judge the fire area with danger sensor list. Additional, the emergency device control module controls a related emergency device according to the suggested behavior and to present on a control screen. We experiment the fire shunt guidance system based on Internet Web for operation verification of the proposed system. Consequently, this study supports people safety with the behavior suggestion according to the context information when an emergency situation happens.

Currently, roadway operation agencies provide interior zones of tunnels with emergency information including crash, fire, and vehicles' stop, through state-of-the-art technologies such as variable message signs and radio-based broadcast systems. However, when coping with an emergency in tunnel interior zones, such information could be too late for drivers to access. A radio-based emergency alert system at the access zones of freeway tunnels, on the other hand,could be a good alternative for solving this problem. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess user acceptability of such an alternative system. To carry out this study, an online survey was conducted on 762 drivers, and the survey results were analyzed using a structural equation modeling to identify factors affecting acceptability of the proposed system. As a result, driver characteristics such as age group, driving frequency, and driving career, utilization of conventional traffic information, and usefulness of conventional traffic information have a positive impact on acceptability. It is expected that the findings of the study will be a basis to effectively address and deploy a new emergency alert system at the access zones of freeway tunnels.

지속되는 기후변화에 의한 풍수해의 발생 빈도와 강도가 증가함에 따라 풍수해 등 극한 기상현상이 지역 및 상황에 따라 재난으로 이어지는 위험성이 높아지고 있어 기상정보 사용자 및 환경에 따라 서로 다른 기상정보의 중요성과 필요성이 급증하고 있다. 이와 같은 수요를 맞추고자 기상 재난에 의한 피해 위험 지역 거주 주민과 재난 현장에서 재난에 대응하는 방재 관계기관 등 특정 사용자의 요구와 필요에 특화된 맞춤형 기상긴급정보를 다양한 매체의 특성에 맞게 즉각적으로 생성하여 전달하기 위한 기상긴급정보전달시스템이 개발되고 있으며 인공지능을 활용한 긴급성의 식별과 정보 생성 방안이 연구되고 있다.

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 types of service using location information are being various and extending its domain as wireless internet technology is developing and its application part is widespread, so it is prospected that LBS (Location-Based Services) will be killer application in wireless internet services. The MODB (Moving Object Database) stores and manages very large current/ past moving object data, so it is very important part in LBS platform. The performance of LBS platform is tightly depending on the performance of this MODB. The other important part is alerting engine in LBS platform, which is system to transmit various value-added information or notify emergency information to mobile phone after triggering specified events. This alert engine is supported as extended function of MODB, that is to say, the alerting function is closely related with MODB. So alert cartridge on MODB must provide not only moving point triggering about going into, going out specified geographical area but also batch alerting about nearest neighbor from specified geographical area. In this paper, we study of extended part on MODB to support the alert engine. And we design alert engine cartridge on MODB before implementing the system.

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.
