The purpose of this investigation is to enhance the survival rate of patients by transporting them to the hospital within the golden hour through the operational improvement of emergency dispatch instruction. To this end, problems and improvements of current operating system were derived by carrying out a survey against paramedics of Incheon city in 2012 and analyzing the current emergency dispatch instruction. This study analyzed the emergency activity daily reports for one year from January 1 through December 31, 2012 and researched the consciousness of 119 emergency medical technician. According to the analysis of the survey, there were no meaningful differences in the on-site arrival times per triage. Therefore, the item of 'Emergency Classification' specified in the emergency dispatch instruction needs to be integrated in the scheme of "triage". Also, the feedbacks of the emergency action log and the emergency dispatch instruction are necessary for 'duty for operation' to review the adequacy to the severity after the end of emergency operation. Finally, the improvement of the system for the continuous communication between the paramedics and the command staff is necessary. This improvements as stated above are expected to contribute to raise survival rate of patients.

This paper is about a redundancy management system design for the Smart UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle) which utilizes the tilt..rotor mechanism. In order to meet the safety requirement on the PLOC(probability of loss of control) of $1.7{\times}10^{-5}$ per flight hour for FCS (flight control system) failures, a digital FCS is mechanized with a dual redundant structure. A fault detection system which is composed of a CCM(cross channel monitor) and analytic redundancy using the Kalman filtering is designed, and its effectiveness is evaluated through experiments. A threshold level and persistence count for managing redundant sensors are designed based on the statistical analysis of the FCS sensors. To increase the survivability of the UAV after the loss of critical sensors in the SAS(stability augmentation system) and to provide reference information for a tie-breaking condition at which an ILM(in-line monitor) cannot distinguish the faulty channel between two operating ones, the Kalman filter approach is investigated.

It is a proven fact with the opening of the Seoul metro line number 1 in 1974 traffic congestion on the roads has decreased and the efficiency of people transportation in general has greatly been enhanced in the downtown and surrounding areas of Seoul. Even today construction of new subway lines are under way and many more are being planned due to the easy access to stations, short waiting and average travel times, compared with personal vehicles, contributing to the efficiency of the public transportation systems that are linking the downtown areas and also the intercity systems in moving passengers during rush hour and times of special event. Since the labour costs of the train operator in any large city based subway system accounts for a major part of the operating costs per kilometer and to ensure cost efficient operations, especially during non-peak hours, it is necessary to implement an unmanned(auto-driven) subway system. In order to implement such a system it is imperative that the on-board and wayside signalling control systems be fully automated as well. Only through proper examination of safety procedures not only by the AUGT(Automated Urban Guided Transport)system but also by ail the international standards organizations involved can safely and stability be ensured.

Presently, most of rail stations are situated on the surface of dowl1town and thus result in heavy traffic congestion and inefficient use of land. This paper analyzes the impact of alternative locations of station On urban traffic patterns by simulating transportation systems, of Busan city. Since location of station has long-term effects on land use and transportation, 20 years forecast of land use change, trip generation, trip distribution, modal split and network assignment was performed for each alternative, and aggregate Impacts On passenger-km and passenger-hour were computed. The result indicated that Bujeon is the most desirable location of station in terms of traffic movement, compared to the alternative locations of Sasang and existing station. Relocation of rail station, however, should be decided with broader analysis including other aspects, such as urban development, environment, construction and operating costs, etc.

The subway with the initial constructive expense which is enormous together is the public transportation means where the many expense is expended in the operation and maintenance civil official. Seoul Metro until initial opening to traffic after present time cannot escape every year deficit to be, the cause is a possibility of seeking from the fare system which is short in transportation prime cost. Currently Seoul Metro is operating with the distance proportional fare system the passenger ticket system which is simple (usual volume, group volume and fixed amount volume, affection renunciation, charge free volume). When the biased characteristic of the user it plans considering from the goods development side for the variety for and a deficit solution, against the fare system systematic it researches and solution plan politically. Financial of the subway operation agency young the investigation against the present condition of the hazard subway fare system which is solved the bud with problem point a fare system from the research which it sees consequently and improvement program under analyzing the man with underdeveloped genital organ. Base on the reporter to analyze the introduction plan which with the character which will reach it follows with the necessity of introduction of the 1st passenger ticket (24 hour volume).

Since Pyoungtaek thermal power plant began using natural gas in 1986, the annual using volume has rapidly increased and reached 12.7 million tons in 1999. When the natural gas is cooled to a temperature of approximately -162$^{\circ}$C at atmospheric pressure, it condenses to a liquid called liquefied natural gas(LNG). LNG has a special characters such as odorless, colorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic. So, LNG storage tank, tanker ship, transfer pipelines are required the special storage and transportation systems and technology. The presently operating LNG terminals are Pyongtaek and Inchon terminals. A total of 19 above-ground LNG storage tanks(100 thousand ㎘ grade) are currently in operation with a sendout capacity of 4,360tons/hour. To meet the growing domestic demand of LNG supply, the Inchon receiving terminal is expanding(six in-ground tank) and constructing a third LNG terminal at Tongyong. In this paper, case study on seepage analysis and countermeasure against increasing the seepage volume of in-ground LNG storage tank excavation work is reported. The results of an additional seepage analysis are presented to verify the design seepage volume of assumption section and seepage volume after curtain-grouting in the slurry wall.

The wear of the third track power collector is one of the essential check factors for safe train operation. Rapid wear of the current collector accelerates the line of the catenary. In addition, the arc generated when the catenary line is turned off causes a malfunction in the minute portion of the catenary line, thereby shortening the life of the catenary line. In this paper, to analyze the mechanical wear of the current collector during driving according to the environmental factor of the Maglev(magnetic levitation train), it was divided into dry season and wet season. the wear of metallized collector, copper alloy collector and carbon collector were measured and compared with each other. The wear rate was measured according to the position of the wire, the position of the power collector and the position per hour. Microscopic photographs of the cross section and surface of the power collector were measured. The electrical currents of the metallized collector, copper alloy collector and carbon collector were measured.

In this study, PID control method was applied to decrease the power fluctuation of the pulse laser which is one of the major processing variables in laser machining process. To stabilize the power fluctuation of the pulse laser, we averaged 10 pulse outputs of Nd:YAG laser operating in 10Hz using boxcar averager, and with taking this averaged output as an input signal, we conducted PID control using optical attenuator which is consisted of half wave plate attached on the stepping motor and polarizer. When PID control was not enabled, the power fluctuation was 4.71% and with PID control, the power fluctuation was 1.86% for 2 hours and 1 hour respectively. As a result, we stabilized the power fluctuation of the pulse laser by 60.5%
