  • This paper presents a braking model that can be used to design the safety distance of a train control system and a train braking system to increase the volume of traffic. For the braking model, a train set (electric multiple unit composed 6 cars) was tested. The factors that can affect the braking characteristics include the friction coefficient, braking pressure, and regenerative braking. The braking pressure was classified into service and emergency braking and reflected the characteristics of the vehicle. The external force acting on the running railway car was tested in accordance with KS R 9217, and the running resistance of the train is presented in the form of a polynomial. The dynamic behavior of the train running on a straight flat line was simulated using UM 8.3. The results were validated with experimental data, and the results were reasonable. With the validated model, a stopping distance was determined according to the initial braking speed and compared with the deceleration braking model. In addition, a safety distance for the train control system could be changed according to the frictional coefficient limits. These results are expected to be useful for analyzing the dynamic behavior of trains, and for analyzing various railway environments and improving the braking performance.

  • The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect on medical application and convergence for the efficient disaster responses in the massive radiological events by comparison of two types of survey-meters(hand held survey-meter and transportable portal monitor). In the simulated radiation disaster drill, twelve participants randomly wore a personal protective equipments (PPE) with twelve check source. We measured participants to detect five real radioactive sources of the twelve check sources, using two types of survey meters. The primary outcome was the measuring time. The secondary outcome was the sensitivity and specificity of the detection of the real radioactive source. The average time by the hand held survey meter was 231.9 ± 116.6 seconds, and the time by transportable portal monitor was statistically shorter 8.690 ± 1.667 seconds. There was no difference in the sensitivity and specificity between two survey meters. The transportable portal monitor survey meter was considered to have medical application and play an important role in radiological disasters.

  • Ad-Hoc network is a network architecture which has no backbone network and is deployed temporarily and rapidly in emergency or war without fixed mobile infrastructures. All communications between network entities are carried in ad-hoc networks over the wireless medium. Due to the radio communications being extremely vulnerable to propagation impairments, connectivity between network nodes is not guaranteed. Therefore, many new algorithms have been studied recently. This study proposes the secondary header approach to the cluster based routing protocol (CBRP). The primary header becomes abnormal status so that the primary header can not participate in the communications between network entities, the secondary header immediately replaces the primary header without selecting process of the new primary header. This improves the routing interruption problem that occurs when a header is moving out from a cluster or in the abnormal status. The performances of proposed algorithm ACBRP(Advanced Cluster Based Routing Protocol) are compared with CBRP. The cost of the primary header reelection of ACBRP is simulated. And results are presented in order to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
