Conventional bridge inspection involves the physical positioning of an inspector by the hydraulic telescoping boom of a "snooper truck" thereby providing visual access to bridge components. The process is time consuming, hazardous, and may be affected by lighting conditions, Therefore, it is of great interest that an automated and/or teleoperated inspection robot be developed to replace the manual inspection procedure. This paper describes the advanced bridge inspection robot system under development and other related activities currently undergoing at the Bridge Inspection Robot Development Interface (BIRDI). BIRDI is a research consortium with its home in the Department of Civil and Environmental System Engineering at Hanyang University at Ansan. Its primary goal is to develop advanced robot systems for bridge inspection and monitoring for immediate field application and commercialization. The research program includes research areas such as advanced inspection robot and motion control system, sensing technologies for monitoring and assessment, and integrated system for bridge maintenance. The center embraces 12 institutions, which consist of 7 universities, 2 research institutes, and 3 private enterprises. Research projects are cross-disciplinary and include experts from structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic and control engineering. This research project will contribute to advancement of infrastructure maintenance technology, enhancement of construction industry competitiveness, and promotion of national capacity for technology innovation.

The phase-shifted, full-bridge (PSFB) DC-DC converter is widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) to charge a low-voltage (12 V) battery from a high-voltage battery. A Photovoltaic (PV) module-integrated PSFB converter is proposed for the EV power conversion system. The converter is useful because solar energy can be utilized to extend the driving range. The buck converter circuit is simply realized by adding one switch to the conventional PSFB converter's secondary side. For the inductor and diode, the existing components in the PSFB converter are shared. The proposed converter can charge a low-voltage battery from the PV module with maximum power point tracking. In addition, the two power sources can be used simultaneously, and efficiency is increased by reducing the circulating current, which is a problem for the conventional PSFB converter.

태양광 발전 시스템이 대용량화됨에 따라 태양전지 어레이 구성 시 부정합(mismatch) 문제가 대두되는 가운데, 태양전지 모듈을 직접 계통에 연계하는 AC 모듈형 태양광 모듈 집적형 전력변환장치(PV-MIC)에 관한 연구가 지속되고 있다. PV-MIC는 수명 및 고효율이 가장 큰 문제이며 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 ZVS 동작을 통하여 스위칭 손실을 저감시키고 입력전류 리플감소를 통하여 입력 커패시턴스를 저감할 수 있는 능동 클램프 전류원 하프 브릿지 컨버터를 적용한 PV-MIC를 제안하고, 이에 관한 제어분담 및 설계에 대하여 고찰한다.

In this paper, a wireless sensing system for structural field evaluation and rating of bridges is presented. The system uses a wireless platform integrated with traditional analogue sensors including strain gages and accelerometers along with the operating software. A wireless vehicle position indicator is developed using a tri-axial accelerometer node that is mounted on the test vehicle, and was used for identifying the moving truck position during load testing. The developed software is capable of calculating the theoretical bridge rating factors based on AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Rating specifications, and automatically produces the field adjustment factor through load testing data. The sensing system along with its application in bridge deck rating was successfully demonstrated on the Evansville Bridge in West Virginia. A finite element model was conducted for the test bridge, and was used to calculate the load distribution factors of the bridge deck after verifying its results using field data. A confirmation field test was conducted on the same bridge and its results varied by only 3% from the first test. The proposed wireless sensing system proved to be a reliable tool that overcomes multiple drawbacks of conventional wired sensing platforms designed for structural load evaluation of bridges.

Measuring sensor, equipment, ICT facilities and their software have relatively short life time comparing to constructional structure so that we should exchange or fix them continuously in the process of maintenance and management. In this paper, we propose a novel design of integrated maintenance, management, and measuring monitoring system applying the concept of mobile cloud. For the sake of disaster prevention for constructional structures such as bridge, tunnel, and other traditional buildings in the village of local heritage, we analyze status of these structures in the long term or short term period as well as disaster situations. Collecting data based on mobile cloud and analyzing future expectations based on probabilistic and statistical techniques, we implement our integrated monitoring system for constructional structures to solve these existing problems. Final results of this design and implementation are basically applied to the monitoring system for more than 10,000 structures spread over national land in Korea. In addition, we can specifically apply the monitoring system presented here to a bridge of timber structure in Asan Oeam Village and a traditional house in Andong Hahoe Village to watch them from possible disasters. Total procedure of system design and implementation as well as development of the platform LinkSaaS and application services of monitoring functions implemented on the platform. We prove a good performance of our system by fulfilling TTA authentication test, web accommodation test, and operation test using real measuring data.

선박은 하나의 거대한 인간-기계시스템으로써 작업자와 시스템간의 상호 작용이 얼마나 잘 이루어지는가에 따라 수행하고자 하는 직무와 수행도에 영향을 미치게 된다. 선교 내에는 시각표시장치뿐만 아니라 청각표시장치로부터 나오는 많은 신호들이 존재한다. 그 중 장비의 알람에 대한 인간의 인지능력에 대한 연구는 미흡한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 청각적 아이콘과 함축적 소리를 비교$\cdot$평가하여 알람에 대한 작업자의 인지에 대해 연구 하였다. 실험결과 청각적 아이콘이 함축적 소리를 사용한 경우 보다 더 빠르고 정확하게 인지 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 선교 내 청각표시장치의 성능 기준 그리고 현재 논의 되고 있는 통합선교알람시스템을 위한 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
