Purpose: A system to measure the visibility of agricultural tractor operators was designed and evaluated according to ISO standards, and a blind area diagram around the tested tractor was created based on the manual method recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Methods: A visibility measurement system was designed and evaluated based on the ISO 5006 and ISO 5721-1 standards. Two bulbs used to simulate the operator's eyes were mounted on a bar with a supporting frame. A wooden frame was used to determine the seat index point position. The 12-m visibility test circle was divided into six sectors of vision, and the test tractor was placed at the center of the circle. Artificial light was supplied in the darkened environment, and shadow or masking effects were measured manually around the 12-m circle. Results: When the bulbs were placed at the operator's eye level, front visibility was good; no masking was found in the "A" vision sector, but larger masking widths were found in the "B" and "C" vision sectors. Since the masking width exceeded 700 mm, additional tests, such as movement of the light sources to both sides of the operator's eye level, were performed. Less than six masking effects were found in the semi-circle of vision to the front, and more than one masking was found in the "B" and "C" visual fields. The minimum distance between the centers of two masking effects exceeded 2500 mm when measured as a chord on the semi-circle of vision. A blind area diagram was created to define the exact nature of the blind spots and mirror visibility. Conclusions: Visibility evaluation is an effective way to enable proper and safe operation for agricultural tractor operators. Inclusion of this visibility evaluation test in the general testing process might aid tractor manufacturers.

The visibility evaluation is significant for the development of construction equipment. The visibility evaluation follows the standards of ISO 5006, ISO 14401-1, and ISO 14401-2. The evaluation contains the operator's visibility and the visibility of rear-view mirrors. The operator's visibility includes the visibility test which requires the recognition of the rectangular line surrounding the machine by one meter and the circle with a 12 meter radius. This study describes the two evaluation processes for the development of the wheel loader. The first process is the light bulb shadow test by using a prototype wheel loader. The second process is based on computer simulation in virtual space. The advantages and disadvantages of computer simulation process are investigated.

Pilot Aptitude Research Equipment (PARE) is a simulator developed to measure or research pilot aptitude and train for student pilots. Design of an ergonomic PARE operation console is required to operate the equipment effectively. This study carried out five steps : (S1) operator questionnaire survey, (S2) anthropometric design formula development, (S3) usability evaluation, (S4) improvement design, and (S5) validation considering both Physical User Interface (PUI) and Graphic User Interface (GUI) of PARE operation console. The operator questionnaire surveyed needs for each PUI and GUI part of the console from two PARE actual operators. In terms of PUI, the anthropometric design formula was developed by using design variables, body dimensions, target population characteristics, and reference posture related to the PARE console. In terms of GUI, the usability evaluation was conducted by three usability testing experts with a 7-point scale (1 : very low, 4 : neutral, 7 : very high) on GUI of the PARE operation console by seven usability criteria. The improved PARE operation console was designed to reflect the optimal values of design variables calculated from design formula, the results from usability testing, and the operator's needs. The improvement effect was observed by 20 people who had experience with the PARE operation console. As a result of the validation, monitor visibility and cockpit visibility for the improved PUI design and visibility and efficiency for the improved GUI design were significantly increased by more than 90% respectively. The improved design of the PARE operation console in this study can contribute to enhance operation performance of the PARE.

해상에서의 선박운항자는 선박을 운항 중 장애물 혹은 타선에 대하여 적정한 이격거리를 두고 항행하고 있다. 다시 말해 시정 상태, 풍속, 조류 등에 따라 선박 전 후 거리, 좌 우현 정횡거리를 주관적인 안전 의식에 근거하여 이격하여 통항하고 있다. 현재 우리나라에서는 통항 선박 간 최소 안전이격거리 개념을 1980년대 초 외국에서 조사된 자료로 사용하고 있고, 항계 내(제한수로)와 항계 밖의 통항 선박의 안전거리가 상이함에도 불구하고 구분 없이 사용되고 있다. 또한 선박 조종학적 안전거리는 선박 전후 거리보다는 선박 측면거리가 중심이며, 선박 종류에 따라 최소 안전이격거리가 상이하지만 고려되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 상황에 따른 선박운항자의 안전 의식을 고려한 적정 이격거리를 정량화하여 해상교통안전성 평가모델의 충돌 판정 영역 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 하고, 우리나라에 적합한 해상교통 혼잡도 모델 개발 및 상황 선박별 해상교통관제에 필요한 가이드라인으로 이용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구결과, 시정이 양호한 주간의 경우 선수전방 4.4 L, 선미후방 3.1 L, 정횡 2.6L로 기존에 사용되고 있는 최소 안전이격거리와는 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었으며 시정 및 주야간 등과 같은 파라미터를 다양하게 고려하였다.

Industrial Motors diagnostic equipment is highly dependent on the automation system, so if there are defects in the automation equipment, it can only rely on the operator's intuitive judgment.To help with intuitive judgment, Park's Vactor Approach(PVA) represents the current signal as a pattern of circles, so it can tell if a fault occurs when the circle is distorted. However, the failure to judge the degree of distortion of the circle pattern is the basis of the fault, so it will face difficulties. In this paper, in order to compare the faults of PVA, the period of d-axis current of PVA pulsation was mastered, so that two phase differences occurred in the same signal source. Through experiments, it is confirmed that this is a 90 degree cross formation of PVA, which is convenient for judging from the vision that there is no fault, thus helping the operator to make intuitive judgment.

The purpose of this study was to develop a visibility evaluation system for cabin type combine. Human's field of view was classified into five levels (perceptive, effective, stable gaze, induced, and auxiliary) depending on rotation of human's head and eye. Divider, reaper lever, gearshift, dashboard, and conveying part were considered as major viewpoints of combine. Visibilities of combine was evaluated quantitatively using the viewpoints and the human's field of view levels. The visibility evaluation system for cabin type combine was consisted of a laser pointer, stepping motors to control the direction of view, gyro sensors to measure horizontal and vertical angle, and I/O interface to acquire the signals. Tests were conducted with different postures ('sitting straight', 'sitting with $15^{\circ}$ tilt', 'standing straight', and 'standing with $15^{\circ}$ tilt'). The LSD (least significant difference) multiple comparison tests showed that the visibilities of viewpoints were different significantly as the operator's postures were changed. The results showed that the posture at standing with $15^{\circ}$ tilt provided the best visibility for operators. The divider of the combine was invisible due to blocking with the cabin frame at many postures. The reaper lever showed good visibilities at the postures of sitting or standing with $15^{\circ}$ tilt. The gearshift, the dashboard, and the conveying part had reasonable visibilities at the posture of sitting with $15^{\circ}$ tilt. However, most viewpoints of the combine were out of the stable gaze field of view level. Modifications of the combine design will be required to enhance the visibility during harvesting operation for farmers' safety and convenience.

The internal temperature of an operating room had to keep within $20^{\circ}C$. However, the doctor who is wearing operating gown and mask caused to rise temperature because of the thermal occurrence of dental LED light source. At first, the surgery environment is getting worse. And then last, it would increase bleeding rate by the expansion of patient's exposured blood vessel. A surgical operator can distribute the patient's tissue through such surgery environment, exactly. It can do accurate surgery. So, it gave to effect that surgical operator's eye condition is getting better and it could keep a mutual assistance system. For this research, we develop the LED dental light source module of high color rendition. It performed simulation for replacing established the method of Halogen lamp and Plazma lamp of light source. We analyzed intensity of illumination and the change of viability by changing the height of light source module.

해상 안전을 위한 선박의 탐색 및 식별은 매우 중요하다. 선박의 탐색은 레이더로 가능하나, 식별은 선박자동식별장치, 통신장비, 시각 등에 의해 이루어지며, 이러한 식별수단이 불능 시 레이더 운용자의 경험과 지식을 바탕으로 선박의 기동특성을 참고하여 식별하는 매우 어려운 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 지속적인 관찰임무를 수행해야 할 선박 탐색요원의 임무를 보조하기 위하여 레이더 상 선박의 기동특성을 이용, 자동식별 및 사고발생 가능성을 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 4가지 유형의 선박 정보, 레이더 상 접촉거리 및 침로, 속력을 이용하여 그 특징을 추출하고, SVM을 활용하여 식별 정확도를 평가하였으며, 이를 이용한 자동식별 알고리즘을 통해 사고발생 가능성이 있는 선박을 선별하는 방법을 제시하였다. 실험 결과 90% 이상의 식별 정확도를 보였으며, 실제 사고선박인 세월호의 정보를 자동식별 알고리즘에 적용하여 선별 가능함을 보였다. 이 방법은 다양한 상황에서 선박 탐색요원의 경험과 지식을 효과적으로 보완하고, 다수의 선박 중 관심필요선박을 사전 식별하여 정보를 제공함으로서 탐색요원의 노력을 경감시키고, 문제점을 보다 빨리 인지하는데 도움이 될 것이다.
