Among all industries, the construction industry still remains a traditional one with low productivity due to its labor-intensive and field-dependent production system, its supplier-oriented industrial structure, and the disruption of the information flow between participants. In addition, the construction industry in South Korea has recently been required to transform itself according to social trends such as aging, the reduction of skilled workers, and the shortening of working hours, and the disaster and death rates in the industry, which are more than twice as high as those in other industries, are making it more necessary to solve chronic safety problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to grasp the actual condition of safety management on construction sites in South Korea and analyze cases of K-smart technology utilization for preventing safety accidents on construction sites. The study investigated and analyzed the following. First, construction sites in South Korea were analyzed by type of safety accident, by type of construction, and by construction contract amount. Second, the current status of accidents on small-sized construction sites with a high fatal accident rate and cases of safety accidents on construction sites were investigated. The results of the study are expected to contribute to the dissemination and spread of smart safety technology for not only identifying major factors in safety accidents that occur on construction sites but also preventing workers from suffering accidents.

Recently, in order to reduce traffic accident related fatalities, increasing number of studies are conducted regarding the vehicle safety enhancement devices. But very few studies about test procedures and requirements for vehicle safety systems are being carried out. Since BSD, as one of the most important safety features, is installed on a new vehicle, its performance test method has to be evaluated. Independent factors irrelevant to the device types including collision position, vehicle speed and closing speed are used to calculate test distance away from the current vehicle. Effect of roadway geometry as radius of curvature is introduced to propose possible misjudgement of following vehicle as adjacent one. The study results would be utilized to enhance the test procedure of BSD performance.

Recently, the importance of simulation in a virtual driving environment as well as real road-based tests for autonomous vehicle testing is increasing. Real road tests are being actively conducted at K-City, an autonomous driving test bed located at the Korea Automobile Safety Test & Research Institute of the Transportation Safety Authority. In addition, the need to advance the K-City virtual driving environment and build a virtual environment similar to the autonomous driving system test environment in real road tests is increasing. In this study, for K-City of Korea Automobile Safety Test & Research Institute, using detailed drawings and actual field data, K-City virtual driving environment was advanced, and similarity verification was verified through comparative analysis with actual K-City.

This paper describes an algorithm for Advanced Emergency Braking(AEB) with tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB is a system to avoid a collision or mitigate a collision impact by decelerating the car automatically when forward collision is imminent. Typical AEB system is operated by Time-to-collision(TTC), which considers only relative velocity and clearance from control vehicle to preceding vehicle. AEB operation by TTC has a limit that tire-road friction coefficient is not considered. In this paper, Tire-road friction coefficient is also considered to achieve more safe operation of AEB. Interacting Multiple Model method(IMM) is used for Tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB algorithm consists of friction coefficient estimator and upper level controller and lower level controller. The numerical simulation has been conducted to demonstrate the control performance of the proposed AEB algorithm. The simulation study has been conducted with a closed-loop driver-controller-vehicle system using using MATLAB-Simulink software and CarSim Vehicle model.

In this paper, a detection method of a pedestrian safety road marking was proposed. The proposed algorithm uses laser range and reflectivity of a range finder (LRF). For a detection of crosswalk marking and stop line, the DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) of reflectivity and cross-correlation method between the reference replica and the measured reflectivity are used. A speed bump is detected through measuring an altitude difference of two LRFs which have the different tilted angle. Furthermore, we proposed a velocity constrained a detection method of a speed bump. Finally, the proposed methods are tested in on-line, on the pavement of a road. The considered road markings are wholly detected. The localization errors of both road markings are smaller than 0.4 meter.

안전은 교통관제와 제어기술에서 중요한 부분이다. 본 논문에서는 단일 비젼시스템을 이용하여 합류도로에 진입하려는 차량에 합류안전 신호를 발생하는 유연하고, 안정적이며 실시간 처리가 가능한 알고리즘에 대해 제안하였다. 도로측면에 위치한 카메라로부터 얻어지는 영상을 이용하여 주행차량 감시와 차량의 주행속도, 본선도로와 진입도로 사이의 합류지점까지의 도달시간을 예측하여 빨강, 파랑, 노랑의 색으로 주행 안전 여부를 표시하였다. 영상에서 설정한 영역에 차량이 주행함을 검출하기 위해 농담정규화 상관법, 경계 크기 비 변화, 평균 농담변화의 세 가지 방법을 이용하였다. 실제 합류도로에서 촬영한 영상으로부터 제안한 알고리즘에 적용하여 결과를 제시하였다.

국내 도로공간은 평면적 공간 분배의 한계점에 다다르고 있으며, 점점 지하공간의 개발을 통한 입체적 공간 분배의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지상도로와 지하도로의 연계에 있어 서로 다른 두 교통흐름을 안전하게 유도할 수 있는 교통제어 방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. VISSIM을 통해 지하도로 내 분·합류부가 존재할 경우의 본선 용량대비 적정 유출·입 교통량을 산출하였으며, 상충 수 분석을 통해 지하도로 내 안전을 위한 적정 교통량 제어수준을 분석하였고, 지상도로의 지·정체 시나리오 분석을 통해 지상부 지·정체 수준에 따른 지하도로 내 위험도 수준에 대한 기초연구를 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 현재 실존하는 제방을 대상으로 제방겸용도로 건설에 따른 안정성의 변화를 살펴보기 위해 건설단계별로 도로건설을 위한 성토 후, 겸용도로 건설 후 도로를 주행하는 차량에 의한 교통하중이 재하될 경우로 구분하여 안정성 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과 겸용도로 건설을 위한 성토 후와 교통하중(DB-24)을 적용하였을 경우 모두 일반적인 안전율 기준인 1.3을 상회하고 있어 겸용도로 건설에 따른 제방의 안전은 확보되는 것으로 분석되어 제방겸용도로의 건설은 부지 확보 비용 절감을 위해 건설이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 겸용도로의 건설로 인해 제방의 안전율 감소 현상이 발생하기 때문에 안정성에 대한 사전 검토가 충분히 이루어져야 할 것이다. 특히 안전율 감소가 가장 큰 경우는 비정상류 상태의 수위상승의 경우로 분석되어 하천제방과 같이 수위변화가 빈번한 경우에는 비정상류 해석으로 설계하는 것이 바람직하며 제내지의 사면경사는 기존제방과 동일한 1:2의 경사를 유지하도록 설계하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 교통하중에 의한 안전율 감소현상도 발생하는 것으로 분석되어 겸용도로 건설 후 주행차량의 하중제한 등 유지 관리에도 지속적인 관심을 기울여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : Safety consciousness can be the first factor to hinder the acceptance of design alternative, which moderates the applied design criteria in order to adapt the road to the natural terrain condition. METHODS : The method which enables to check the safety of design alternative by using design consistency concept is suggested. The method is based on the linked or interactive analysis between terrain and road alignment. Real design example is considered as a guide how to apply the method and the analysis result is discussed with the future research. RESULTS : Suggested method can be used for designers as a tool to review their design outputs can be safe as much as the original design. So, designers have the more objective judgement on their designs and have the confidence on their designs. CONCLUSIONS : The method is expected to be used as a tool to see the safety consciousness in an objective view, so any possible conflicts between designers and design-related personnels caused by the terrain-oriented design can be solved.

We surveyed 223 road workers between 2017 July-August about wearing and satisfaction in order to find basic data to develop safety clothing that enhances visibility of motion and comfort while meeting international standards. It was found that most of the current warning clothing owned by road cleaners and about 2/3 of policemen clothes were provided by public institutions. The purpose of wearing, color, properties, satisfaction and protectiveness differed significantly by occupation. Second, the most popular response for the type and quantity of warning clothing was 2 sets of spring/autumn, summer, and winter type for road cleaners, whereas policemen chose 2 sets of all types plus a safety vest. Therefore, a top-level (3rd class) warning clothing study is required. Third, satisfaction ranked Moderate>Good>Poor; in addition, the main reason for satisfaction was that 'retroreflective tape increases safety at night (54.4%)' for road cleaners and 'the fluorescent color stands out (43.7%)' for policemen. Thus, it was accepted that visibility contributed to safety. Fourth, body-protectiveness was evaluated higher compared to wearing satisfaction, and it was recognized more by road cleaners than policemen. Overall satisfaction was higher for road cleaners versus policemen both in Seoul than Incheon. Fifth, the main dissatisfaction in both groups was 'low sweat absorbency' showing improving the air permeability, moisture regain and permeability was the highest priority. Finally, those working 8 hours a day tended to evaluate more positively the 6 properties of the material.
