  • In South Korea, a cloud-based vessel traffic service (Cloud VTS) system integrating the fourth industrial revolution technologies such as cloud and AI is currently under development in contrast to the existing VTS systems. A pilot center for at Busan VTS is being established based on differentiated technology and operational programs. The roles of operators and maintenance personnel who operate the innovative Cloud VTS system must be redefined. Additionally, a demand exists for the development of new educational programs to ensure the smooth operation of the Cloud VTS. Therefore, this study introduces the development details of a Cloud VTS system and explores educational strategies aimed at operators and maintenance personnel to ensure its safe operation.

  • The KALIMER core, of which nuclear design is largely governed by inherent safety and reactivity control issues, is fueled with metallic fuel, and the initial core will be loaded with 20% enriched Uranium metal fuel. KALIMER safety design objectives include the accommodation of unprotected, ATWS events without operator action, and without the support of active shutdown, shutdown heat removal, or any automatic system without damage to the plant and without jeopardizing public safety. The transient analysis of the core designs has been focused on severe events to assess the margins in the design, and ATWS events are the most severe events that must be accommodated by the KALIMER design. The ATWS performance has been evaluated for the preliminary initial core design of KALIMER with a particular emphasis on the inherent negative reactivity feedback effects, including the Doppler, sodium density, fuel axial expansion, core radial expansion, and control rod driveline expansion. Results show that the Uranium metal core design meets the temperature limits with margin.

  • These are preisely the controlling foators that we must deal with and measure in order to get relatistic answers. We must stop making simplifying assumptions to suit our quqntitative models man deal with complex situations. To be relistic our models must include and measure all important tangible and intangible, quantitatively measureable, and qualitative factors. This is precisely what we do with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In this paper, the statistics of industrial accidents are classified with its causes, and safety organization in D heavy industry company be evaluated by Analytic hierarchy model. The influence weight of level of safety organization can be ordered supervisor (0.364), operator (3.10), top manager (0.232) and executive (o.164) by AHP.

  • Chip breaking is important in lathe work for maintaining good surface of the products and safety of operator. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of chip breaking and chip shape resulted from the carbide inserts with grooved type and obstruction type chip breaker. Experiments have been performed under the following cutting conditions, (1) constant cutting speed with variable depth of cut and feed rate, (2) constant depth of cut with variable cutting speed and feed rate. Also, the flying distance of chip and it's distribution have been investigated. As a results, good performance of chip breaking can be obtained for small radius of curvature and land width of grooved type chip breaker. And the thickness of chip increase with the increase of feed rate and decrease of cutting speed, and the chip breaking becomes easier with the increase of chip thickness due to the large deformation rate. Obstraction type chip breaker shows better performance of surface roughness than the grooved type. The flying distance of the chips over 90% are less than 1 meter, and the distance decreases as the feed rate decreases.

  • In the domestic nuclear power industry, concern about safety of nuclear power plants is continuously increased with the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. In order to enhance the safety of nuclear power plants, it is important to ensure that the power plants are operating with proper margin within the original design bases. Margin management is the process of ensuring that the NPP designer and operator are aware of the physical and operating limits, and potential and probability of failure, for each component in the plant. All components are subject to margin considerations, but the most important components by scope and attention are those related to safety-related systems and NPP safe shutdown.

  • Today's driver information system often features a rotary control type as a main controller for menu navigation. Population stereotype should be clearly understood in designing those systems to minimize the misunderstanding by the operator. This paper investigates stereotypes for rotary controlled menu interfaces and influences of contributing principles. A human factors experiment was conducted using various configurations of control-display layouts, cursor shapes/positions, and movement directions. The results showed that the control should be on the left of the display, with a rightward icon on the right side of the cursor, in order to match the stereotype. Regression analysis indicated that Warrick's principle was the most influential principle, followed by Icon shape, Icon position, Clockwise away, and Clockwise up principles. This study provides valuable information to designers of menu-based systems such as driver information systems and main control rooms that uses rotary controls.

  • To protect press operator from the after-reach hazard, current Ministry of Labor Notification(MOLN) requires the use of a formula for calculating the safe distance away from the point of operation for locating press protective devices, Two Hand Control Devices(THCD) and Active Opto-Electronic Protective Devices(AOPD), on a power press. This formula is based on a same hand speed constant of 160cm/s. While EN standards use different hand speed constant for THCD and AOPD respectively. The objective of this study is to compare two guidelines on the hand speed constant published by MOLN and EN 692, also to propose a proper hand speed constant and validate it experimentally. As a experimental result, it could be known that hand speed constant of Ministry of Labor Notification should be improved as that of EN standards.
