  • The steady evolution of mapping technology is leading to an increasing availability of multi-sensory geo-spatial datasets, such as data acquired by single-head frame cameras, multi-head frame cameras, line cameras, and light detection and ranging systems, at a reasonable cost. The complementary nature of the data collected by these systems makes their integration to obtain a complete description of the object space. However, such integration is only possible after accurate co-registration of the collected data to a common reference frame. The registration can be carried out reliably through a triangulation procedure which considers the characteristics of the involved data. This paper introduces algorithms for a multi-primitive and multi-sensory triangulation environment, which is geared towards taking advantage of the complementary characteristics of spatial data available from the above mentioned sensors. The triangulation procedure ensures the alignment of involved data to a common reference frame. The devised methodologies are tested and proven efficient through experiments using real multi-sensory data.

  • 제2만덕터널은 부산시민의 생활에 반드시 필수적인 장소로 하루 10만대의 차량이 이용하는 곳이지만 터널의 노후화와 안전시설의 미비로 사고발생시 인명피해는 물론 경제적 손실 발생 가능성이 큰 터널 시설물이다. 제2만덕터널은 2005년 7윌부터 2006년 9월까지 교통사고 56건, 고장사고 44건, 화재 2건, 기타 11건의 사고가 발생한 곳으로 관리사무소 전담요원 7명이 3교대로 근무하고 있으며 CCTV 15대만으로 사고를 대비하고 있다. 터널의 중요성을 고려할 때 노후화된 터널이지만 유비쿼터스 기술 및 구조물 계측기술을 적용한 안전관리 시스템이 필요하다. 제2만덕터널은 1985년에 준공되어 현재와 같은 보다 체계적인 터널 안전 관리 기술이 적용되리 많은 터널로 USN기반 구조물, 노면, 화재, 공기, 조명센서를 이용한 실시간 모니터링과 돌발적인 교통사고 발생 시에 신속한 복구 처리를 위하여 유관기관과 연계된 긴급 지원 시스템의 구축의 좋은 모델이 될 것이다. 부산광역시에는 총 17개 터널이 있으며 그 중 11곳이 90년 이전에 구축된 것으로 본사업으로 노후화 터널의 유비쿼터스 기반의 안전관리 시스템이 개발된다면 부산을 중심으로 전국에 산재한 노후화 터널의 안전 관리 개선에 미치는 파급효과가 클 것이며 유비쿼터스 기술의 대표적 적용 사례가 될 것이다.

  • Due to its high dependency of manpower, construction work has several difficulties in terms of quality control, imbalance of supply and demand of qualified manpower, safety management for them and improvement of production. Such problems related to the management can be at some degree solved by introducing an automation facility. Since the unique environment of a construction site in the past was not structured, it is very hard to introduce a facility to automate construction work from operation of the equipment to assignment of where to work. This is a preliminary research for automation of construction work. In this study, the trend of development of a cutting-edge technology, RTLS, was researched and analyzed in order to review the possibility of utilizing RTLS in construction work and present a control mechanism for construction equipment. Although the presented mechanism is at the concept stage, which still has lots of restrictions to be solved, the application of the RTLS will be very much feasible. That is, if linkage of the study between the RTLS and the automation of construction is built, it will be expected to contribute to many fields such as cost reduction through efficient and systemic management, the reduction of construction period and precise construction as well as raising the level of the automation of domestic construction work.

  • 최근 들어 U-City 구축 사업을 수행하고 있는 대다수의 지자체에서는 U-City건설지원법에서 규정하고 있는 U-도시기반시설의 서비스 모델을 정립하고 체계화 하기위해 노력하고 있다. 그 중 공간정보 수요가 높은 도로, 상 하수도 시설물은 국토해양부의 주관하에 90년말부터 현재까지 매칭펀드 사업을 통해 DB 및 시스템을 구축하도록 유도해 왔다. 그러나 정부차원의 이러한 사업이 지자체 지리정보 담당부서와 지하시설물 관리 담당 공무원들 중심으로 단순히 공간정보의 조회 및 편집차원에서 추진되고 있어 활용에 대한 한계가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 국토해양부에서 주관하고 있는 '지능형 도시 지하시설물 관리 기술 개발' R&D 사업을 통해 이러한 한계를 극복하고 기존 상 하수도 단위시스템에서 제공하는 조회 및 편집기능이외에도 USN 및 RFID를 적용하여 활용할 수 있는 지능화된 지하시설물 관리업무를 도출하고, 기존 상 하수도 단위시스템과의 연계 모델을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Context-awareness system can provide an optimized services to users. Analyzing physical and complex circumstance elements which give direct or indirect influence to users can tell what users want. However, there are various situation informations around users and it requires high level technology to extract the service what users really want among those informations. The circumstance of the user can be changed from moment to moment, even the service what users want also can be changed in every minutes. Recently the researches to provide the service which a user demands has been progressed actively. Web based filtering method which reaches commercialization is a one of good examples. This method extracts necessary data according to users' demands from the documents on the Web or multimedia informations. However, there is a limit to use it to provide Context-awareness service because it extracts static data, not dynamic data. There is also other researches with a rule based filtering method in progress to filter situation information but this method doesn't have mechanism for dynamic data as well. We would like to solve these problems by providing a dynamic situation information filtering mechanism applying an weighted value about each property of objects and also applying Web based dynamic categories in this paper when unnecessary data should be filtered.

  • This paper describes position tracking system of a container trailer approaching to a gantry crane for loading or unloading a container into or from a ship, respectively. Proposed position tracking system informs the trailer driver of right position to stop the car under a gantry crane. To measure the location of a trailer, we used Cricket Mote modules which adopted RF and ultrasound technology. We present an elaborate method to improve position errors occurring at sensing and calculate three dimensional position by triangulation along with how to reduce location tracking interval for real-time monitoring. The location information was transmitted to a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) periodically through Bluetooth communication for guidance of the trailer driver. In indoor and outdoor tests, position errors were less than 3 cm and location tracking interval was 0.5 second on average.

  • In this paper, a low cost, low power but multifunctional wireless sensor node is presented for the impedance-based SHM using piezoelectric sensors. Firstly, a miniaturized impedance measuring chip device is utilized for low cost and low power structural excitation/sensing. Then, structural damage detection/sensor self-diagnosis algorithms are embedded on the on-board microcontroller. This sensor node uses the power harvested from the solar energy to measure and analyze the impedance data. Simultaneously it monitors temperature on the structure near the piezoelectric sensor and battery power consumption. The wireless sensor node is based on the TinyOS platform for operation, and users can take MATLAB$^{(R)}$ interface for the control of the sensor node through serial communication. In order to validate the performance of this multifunctional wireless impedance sensor node, a series of experimental studies have been carried out for detecting loose bolts and crack damages on lab-scale steel structural members as well as on real steel bridge and building structures. It has been found that the proposed sensor nodes can be effectively used for local wireless health monitoring of structural components and for constructing a low-cost and multifunctional SHM system as "place and forget" wireless sensors.
