The Fukushima accident reveals the vulnerability of existing active nuclear power plant (NPP) design against prolonged loss of external electricity events. The passive safety system is considered an attractive alternative to cope with this kind of disaster. Also, the passive safety system enhances both the safety and the economics of NPPs. The adoption of a passive safety system reduces the number of active components and can minimize the construction cost of NPPs. In this paper, reflecting on the experience during the development of the APR+ design in Korea, we propose the concept of an innovative Power Reactor (iPower), which is a kind of passive NPP, to enhance safety in a revolutionary manner. The ultimate goal of iPower is to confirm the feasibility of practically eliminating radioactive material release to the environment in all accident conditions. The representative safety grade passive system includes a passive emergency core cooling system, a passive containment cooling system, and a passive auxiliary feedwater system. Preliminary analysis results show that these concepts are feasible with respect to preventing and/or mitigating the consequences of design base accidents and severe accidents.

This article aims to provide a design method of warning thresholds for active safety systems based on the performance-based approach considering driver behaviors. Both positive and negative consequences of warnings are considered, and the main idea is to choose a warning threshold where the positive consequence is maximized, whereas the negative consequence is minimized. The process of the performance-based approach involves: Defining the operating scenarios; setting the trajectory models, including human characteristics; estimating the alert and nominal trajectories; estimating the performance metrics; generating a performance-metric plot; and determining the alert thresholds. This paper chose a lane-departure warning system as an example to show the usefulness of the performance-based approach. Both human and sensor characteristics were considered in the system design, and this paper provided a quantitative method to include human factors in designing active safety systems.

The semi-active suspension system is getting widely adopted in passenger vehicles for its ability to improve ride comfort over the passive suspension system while not degrading driving safety. A key to the success is to develop practical controllers that yield performance enhancement over the passive damper under various driving conditions. To this end, several control strategies have been studied and evaluated in this research in consideration of practical aspects such as nonlinearity and dynamics of the damper. From simulation results. it has been observed that, with the proposed control schemes, ride comfort can be significantly upgraded while suppressing degradation of driving safety.

As technologies are developed and systems are complicated, hazards embedded in the system are also increasing. proving safety and managing the safety is more scientific and organizational domain so that safety management system is pursuing to be active formation detecting the factors of hazard and managing them beyond passive-way. In the future, in order to establish and manage national safety management system, it is important to have effective system and manage it and also more important that all the people related to target system has to change their recognition and to play roles in it.

This paper presents a hardware development procedure of the ASB(Active Seat Belt) control system to comply with ISO 26262. The ASIL(Automotive Safety Integrity Level) of an ASB system is determined through the HARA(Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) and the safety mechanism is applied to meet the reqired ASIL. The hardware architecture of the controller consists of a microcontroller, H-bridge circuits, passive components, and current sensors which are used for the input comparison. The required ASIL for the control systems is shown to be satisfied with the safety mechanism by calculation of the SPFM(Single Point Fault Metric) and the LFM(Latent Fault Metric) for the design circuits.

It is necessary to develope the active safety system in terms of driver's safety and convenience. In this paper, we were developed the non-contact type of safety window system operated by the initial value of feedback control such as the output signal of photo sensor. It was designed based on the control algorithm with an improved load sensitivity. Therefore, compared with the existing system, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a mull-function. Also, it has a convenient functions of the window such as an auto up/down and closing, and has a response times better. It can be installed the various types of common vehicles that have the different movement distance and speed of window. In conclusion, the developed system may be adapted the vehicle commercially.

The tuned mass damper (TMD) system was first proposed as an efficient vibration control method for high-rise buildings, and multiple TMD (MTMD) system was then proposed for the purpose of improving the robust performance. Thereafter, the active TMD (ATMD) is proposed to improve the vibration control performance over the TMD and MTMD systems. However, this system may experience an system-instability problem in case of the actuator malfunction. In order to overcome such limitations of actuator malfunction causing the instability of the structural system, in this study, we investigate the feasibility of the multiple ATMD (MATMD) system that facilitates both advantages of the MTMD and ATMD. Numerical example demonstrates that, when the proposed system is designed to have the same capacity as the ATMD, it shows a similar control performance to the ATMD, but also has very good adaptive control performance against the emergency situations such as actuator failures.

In this study, we propose a new control system that effectively utilizes the interaction effect of control force through the connection of stiffness member for seismic performance enhancement of two adjacent structures equipped with active tuned mass damper (ATMD). The efficiency of the proposed control system is verified by comparing with the existing independent control system through the numerical simulations of the 10th- and 12th-story buildings. From the numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed method can show similar or better control performance even with more economical control capacity than the existing independent control system. Another advantage is that the existing system does not exhibit the adaptive control performance in emergency of failure of one control device, whereas the proposed system can achieve successful adaptive control performance by economically and efficiently utilizing the interacting control effect through the connection member.
