The computer network plays an important role in modern digital controllers within a safety system of a nuclear power plant. For the reliable and realtime data communication between controllers, this paper proposes a modified high-reliable MVB(multi-function vehicle bus) as a main control network for a safety system of a nuclear power plant. The proposed network supports the state-based communication in order to ensure the deterministic communication latency, and very fast network recovery when the bus master fails compare to the standard MVB. This paper also shows the implementation results using a FPGA-based testbed.

철도의 원활한 운행을 보장하기 위하여 신호, 전철전력, 통신, 설비 등 분야별로 독립된 시스템이 구축되어 운영되고 있으나, 각각의 현장 설비가 센싱 데이터를 중앙관제로 전송하는 매체나 프로토콜이 서로 상이하다. 현재 연구개발을 진행하고 있는 실시간 철도안전 관제시스템은 분산된 안전에 관련된 데이터를 통합하여 위험을 예측하고 철도 사고를 예방하기 위한 것으로, 분산되어 있는 안전 관련 데이터를 통합하여 획득하는 것이 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 서로 상이한 매체나 다양한 프로토콜로 전송되는 정보를 기존 어플리케이션의 변경 없이 수용할 수 있는 데이터 변환이 필요하다. 본 연구에서 다양한 방식으로 전송되는 정보를 통합 관리하기 위한 데이터 변환 사례를 조사하고, 기존 방식에 전송기능을 부가하여 일체화한 XML 기반의 프로토콜 변환 방안을 제시하고, 이를 구현하고자 한다.

This paper proposes the architecture and protocol of a data communication network for the safety system in nuclear power plants. First, we establish four design criteria with respect to determinability, reliability, separation and isolation, and verification/validation. Next we construct the architecture of the safety network for the following systems: PPS (Plant Protection System), ESF-CCS (Engineered Safety Features-Component Control System) and CPCS (Core Protection Calculator System). The safety network consists of 12 sub-networks and takes the form of a hierarchical star. Among 163 communication nodes are about 1600 origin-destination (OD) pairs created on their traffic demands. The OD pairs are allowed to exchange data only during the pre-assigned time slots. Finally, the communication protocol is designed in consideration of design factors for the safety network. The design factors include a network topology of star, fiber-optic transmission media, synchronous data transfer mode, point-to-point link configuration, and a periodic transmission schedule etc. The resulting protocol is the modification of IEEE 802.15.4 (LR-WPAN) MAC combined with IEEE 802.3 (Fast Ethernet) PHY. The MAC layer of IEEE 802.15.4 is simplified by eliminating some unnecessary (unctions. Most importantly, the optional TDMA-like scheme called the guaranteed time slot (GTS) is changed to be mandatory to guarantee the periodic data transfer. The proposed protocol is formally specified using the SDL. By performing simulations and validations using Telelogic Tau SDL Suite, we find that the proposed safety protocol fits well with the characteristics and the requirements of the safety system in nuclear power plants.

최근 연안지역에 선박 통항량이 증가하고 있어, 그에 따른 해양사고도 증가하고 있다. IMO에서 안전운항을 위하여 안전 장비를 의무적으로 장착하도록 권고하고 있다. 대부분의 중대형 선박은 거의 안전운항 장비를 구비하고 있지만, 소형 선박은 선주의 재정상 어려움 또는 무관심 때문에 구비하지 않는 경우가 많이 있다. 그러므로 여안 지역에서 소형선박의 안전을 위하여, 좌초, 침몰, 그리고 충돌 등과 같은 해양 사고를 미리 예방하거나 또는 사고 발생 시 신속히 대처할 수 있어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 이와 같은 기능을 수행하는 소형선박용 안전 장비를 개발하였다. 이 장비는 선원의 스마트폰 및 저렴한 전용 단말상에 이런 상태를 표시해 주고 동시에 이런 상태를 제어센터와 인근에 있는 선박에 전송함으로써 무방비 상태에 있는 소형 선박의 안전을 상당히 보장해 줄 수 있다.

최근 빈번한 사고로 인해 국민들의 '안전 의식'이 고조되면서 재난안전 및 응급조치와 관련한 어플리케이션들이 관심을 모으고 있다. 이에 따라 기존의 다양한 사물들에 인터넷을 결합하는 IoT(Internet of Things) 또한 큰 관심사로 여겨지고 있으며, 이러한 IoT 기술을 활용한 방범 서비스 어플리케이션이 개발되고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 방범 시스템 서비스용 어플리케이션들은 단순한 사용자 위치 정보를 파악하는 수준에서 구현되어 있으며 어플리케이션이 독립적으로 실행되기 때문에 안전사고에 유연하게 대처하지 못하는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 위치 정보 및 다양한 센서 정보를 활용하여 위험상황을 감지하고, 가로등 제어 모듈과의 통신을 통하여 보다 안전하고 효율적인 방범 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 스마트 방범 서비스 구조를 제안한다. 또한, 비인가 사용자로 인한 오작동을 회피하기 위해 사용자 단말의 고유 정보를 이용한 통신 구조를 제안한다.

Recent years have seen a notable increase in fire incidents in university cafeterias, yet the social attention to these occurrences remains limited. Despite quick responses to these incidents preventing loss of life, the need for large-scale evacuation in such high foot traffic areas can cause significant disruptions, economic losses, and panic among students. The potential for stampedes and unpredictable damage during inadequate evacuations underscores the importance of fire safety and evacuation research in these settings. Previous studies have explored evacuation models in various university environments, emphasizing the influence of environmental conditions, personal characteristics, and behavioral patterns on evacuation efficiency. However, research specifically focusing on university cafeterias is scarce. This paper addresses this gap by employing Pathfinder software to analyze fire spread and evacuation safety in a university cafeteria. Pathfinder, an advanced emergency evacuation assessment system, offers realistic 3D simulations, crucial for intuitive and scientific evacuation analysis. The studied cafeteria, encompassing three floors and various functional areas, often exceeds a capacity of 1500 people, primarily students, during peak times. The study includes constructing a model of the cafeteria in Pathfinder and analyzing evacuation scenarios under different fire outbreak conditions on each floor. The paper sets standard safe evacuation criteria (ASET > RSET) and formulates three distinct evacuation scenarios, considering different fire outbreak locations and initial evacuation times on each floor. The simulation results reveal the impact of the fire's location and the evacuation preparation time on the overall evacuation process, highlighting that fires on higher floors or longer evacuation preparation times tend to reduce overall evacuation time.In conclusion, the study emphasizes a multifaceted approach to improve evacuation safety and efficiency in educational settings. Recommendations include expanding staircase widths, optimizing evacuation routes, conducting regular drills, strengthening command during evacuations, and upgrading emergency facilities. The use of information and communication technology for managing emergencies is also suggested. These measures collectively form a comprehensive framework for ensuring safety in educational institutions during fire emergencies.

This paper proposed the safety helmet monitoring system based on USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Networks) to secure the wear of helmet for labor on the construction area. As one of the most significant gear to assure labor's safety, The safety helmet would have the extend of labor's injuries minimized whether one wears or not when an accident takes place. At this point, we have developed and demonstrated the system which is able to check who wear the safety helmet properly for labors, composed of safety helmets with sensor node, router nodes, sink node and management program. Moreover, we could show optimized parameters for the proposed USN system as doing experiment and demonstration, we expected that this system would make for labor wear the safety helmet properly on the construction area as well as prevent economic injury caused by an accident with not wearing for labors.

In this study, by classifying latent groups for disaster safety awareness focusing on the four sub-factors of the developed disaster awareness scale of high school students, the characteristics of each group were examined, and the differences between latent classes according to inter-individual differences were investigated. As a result of analysis based on the data of a total of 1054 high school students, the disaster safety awareness of high school students was classified into three latent groups. Each latent group was named 'High Safety Awareness Type(SAT)', 'Normal SAT', and 'Low SAT' according to its characteristics. In all four fire safety awareness sub-factors, 'High SAT', which had a high score, accounted for 56.5% of the total, and 'Normal SAT', which had a moderate score in the sub-factors, had the lowest ratio at 20.3%. There were no significant differences by gender, grade, and academic achievement of the latent group. These results are not only meaningful as the first study of the latent profile analysis of high school students on disaster safety awareness, but also help to identify the characteristics of individuals in each latent group with more subdivisions and provide useful data for disaster safety awareness education according to individual differences. The implications of this study and suggestions for follow-up studies were discussed.
