The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is promoting the introduction of e-Navigation that prevents maritime accidents by fusion of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) with ship operation technology. In Korea, Korean e-Navigation is also being developed for fishing vessels and small vessels sailing offshore, which are vulnerable to maritime accidents. However, for the successful development of Korean e-Navigation, it is necessary to develop an indicator that can evaluate the development performance so that the development performance that has been progressed so far can be evaluated and the development direction can be re-established. Therefore, this study attempted to develop an evaluation index tailored to the development goal of e-Navigation service centering on the collision accident, which is a major maritime accident. In this study, a collision accident evaluation index for e-Navigation service was developed by deriving and quantifying the root cause of maritime collision accidents using Root cause analysis(RCA) and fault tree analysis (FTA) techniques. This indicator is considered to be helpful in reducing maritime accidents as it is used as a development indicator for e-Navigation and an indicator for maritime collision accident analysis.

From refraction data along four seismic profiles near Eonyang which the Yangsan fault passes through, the Slope Variation Indicators (SVI) are computed and interpreted in terms of fault distribution. The average velocities of 2,250-2,870 m/s are estimated using velocity-analysis functions for the target boundary along those profiles. The average velocity for Line 1 is approximately 600 m/s lower than ones for the other lines. The SVI's with amplitude greater than or equal to 0.5 ms/m are turned out to be located near faults shown on the high-resolution reflection section, as closely as one station spacing (3 m). Large amplitude SVI's are densely distributed near National Road 35, and the fault having the largest vertical slip is indicated to be located approximately 930 m west of the inferred fault on the published geologic map.

This paper introduces an on-line particle-filtering-based framework for failure prognosis in nonlinear, non-Gaussian systems. This framework uses a nonlinear state-space model of the plant(with unknown time-varying parameters) and a particle filtering(PF) algorithm to estimate the probability density function(pdf) of the state in real-time. The state pdf estimate is then used to predict the evolution in time of the fault indicator, obtaining as a result the pdf of the remaining useful life(RUL) for the faulty subsystem. This approach provides information about the precision and accuracy of long-term predictions, RUL expectations, and 95% confidence intervals for the condition under study. Data from a seeded fault test for a UH-60 planetary carrier plate are used to validate the proposed methodology.

비접지 계통에서 대부분의 고장은 1선 지락 고장이며 1선 지락 고장 시 고장 전류의 크기가 매우 작기 때문에 고장 검출에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상전류를 이용하여 새로운 FI 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 선간전압과 영상전류만을 이용하여 단말에서 고장회선, 고장상, 고장구간을 한 번에 판별하여 FI를 검출한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 Matlab/Simulilnk를 통해 계통을 모의하여 검증하였다.

For real-time wireless sensor network applications, it is essential to provide different levels of quality of service (QoS) such as reliability, low latency, and fault-tolerant traffic control. To meet these requirements, an (m,k)-firm based real-time routing protocol has been proposed in our prior work, including a novel local transmission status indicator called local DBP (L_DBP). In this paper, a fault recovery scheme for (m,k)-firm real-time streams is proposed to improve the performance of our prior work, by contributing a delay-aware forwarding candidates selection algorithm for providing restricted redundancy of packets on multipath with bounded delay in case of transmission failure. Each node can utilize the evaluated stream DBP (G_DBP) and L_DBP values as well as the deadline information of packets to dynamically define the forwarding candidate set. Simulation results show that for real-time service, it is possible to achieve both reliability and timeliness in the fault recovery process, which consequently avoids dynamic failure and guarantees meeting the end-to-end QoS requirement.

A study on motor current signature analysis has been executed for monitoring the fault of journal bearing due to wear. The air gap eccentricity of motor produces specific frequencies in motor current, the supplied current frequency plus and minus rotational rotor frequency. The air gap eccentricity is simulated by the clearance of Journal bearing. The amplitudes of the specific frequencies increase with the increasing clearances. The amplitudes of the specific frequencies continue to increase over the wear limit that is used in the manufacturer of the test motor. Though clear relations between the amplitudes of the specific frequencies and the clearances are not obtained in this paper, the specific frequencies can be used as an indicator of a journal bearing fault. Further study is necessary to make out the quantitative relations between the specific frequencies and the clearances.

To effectively identify near-surface faults with vertical slips from seismic refraction data, the GRM interpretation technique is tested and investigated in terms of various parameters through computer modeling. A characteristic change in shape of the velocity-analysis function near faults is noticed, and a new strategy of `Slope Variation Indicator (SVI)' is developed and tested in this study. The SVI is defined as a first horizontal derivative of the difference of velocity analysis functions for a large XY value and a small one, respectively. As the dip of refractor decreases and as the difference in XY value increases, the peak value of SVI increases and its duration decreases. Consequently, the SVI indicates accurately the location of buried fault in the test models. The SVI is believed to be an efficient tool in seismic refraction method to investigate location and distribution of shallowly buried faults.

This paper proposes a new global positioning system (GPS) receiver algorithm to improve the positioning accuracy of a transporter using fault detection and isolation techniques from satellite signals. To improve the positioning accuracy, several factors including a feasible number of satellite signals, SNR, NAV Measurement Quality Indicator (mesQI), and Doppler, among others, have been utilized in the proposed algorithm. To increase the number of feasible satellite signals, an erroneous satellite signal has been replaced by the previous one. In conventional approaches, received GPS signals are analyzed and directly determined to be contaminated or not. The only clean signals are utilized for identifying the current location. This fault detection and isolation (FDI) feasibility test is popular for commercial GPS receivers. In the urban environment, especially near a building, the feasible number of satellite signals becomes insufficient to position the transporter. To overcome this problem, satellite signals are efficiently selected and recovered. Additionally, using the proposed GPS receiver algorithm, a feasible number of satellite signals can be increased, thereby improving the positional accuracy. Real world experiments using a transporter that carries blocks in a shipyard have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed algorithm compared to conventional approaches.

As the penetration of distributed generation systems is recently high, there have been metering errors, trips of protective devices in KEPCO distribution systems including an occurrence of false fault-indicator in distribution automation system. The cause of malfunctions was the reverse-power-flow phenomenon due to transformer wiring types. By the effect of the reverse-power-flow, each of phase's fundamental currents was added by about 3 times on the neutral line. A new method based on the analysis of the reverse-power-flow is proposed in this paper. Fault currents on each section were analyzed by the proposed method, and the effect of types of transformer wiring was examined experimentally. In order to reduce the malfunctions due to the reverse-power-flow, controlling the zero-sequence impedance of transformer was designed and verified by using PSCAD/EMTDC software.
