Research is being carried out at Korea Aerospace Research Institute with aim of design a HALE UAV(High Altitude Long Endurance Unmanned Air Vehicle). HALE UAVs are ideally suited to provide surveillance, remote sensing and communication relay capabilities for both military and civilian applications. HALE UAVs typically cruise at an altitude between 15 km and 20 km, travelling at low speed and circling specific area of interest. Airframe structural point of view, weight reduction of the airframe structure is the most important method to improve the flight efficiency. High modulus CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) has been used in designing the structure in order to minimize the airframe weight. With respect to structural design and analysis, the key question is to decide an adequate airworthiness certification base to define suitable load cases for sizing of various structural components. In this study, FAR(Federal Aviation Regulation) 23 have constituted the guidance and benchmark throughout all structural studies. And the MSC/FlightLoads was introduced to analyze the flight loads for the HALE UAV. The MSC/FlightLoads can compute the flexible air load and analyzed loads are distributed on structural model directly. A preliminary structural concept was defined in accordance with the estimated inertial and aerodynamic loads. A FEM analysis was carried out using the MSC/Nastran code to predict the static and dynamic behaviour of UAV structure.

Recently, Due to the rapid growth of broadcasting communication and video coding technologies, the demands for immersive media contents based on 3D stereoscopic video will increase steadily. And the demands must ultimately provide the contents for users which are in wireless channel such as vehicle, train, and ship. Thus, in this paper, we transmit the 3D stereoscopic video over the maritime Rician channel that direct wave is more dominant than reflective wave. Besides, we present unequel error protection (UEP) by applying hierarchical 4/16-QAM to V+D(Video plus Depth) format which can represent 3D stereoscopic video. We expect our system to provide seamless broadcasting service for users with poor reception condition.

A moving network is the usage model that provides the mobile stations to the communication service via the mobile relay deployed in the high-speed vehicle. The mobile relay periodically performs the signal strength measurement of the neighbor base stations to select the target base station during the handover procedure. The mobile stations experience the service disruption during the measurement of the mobile relay. In this paper, we propose the estimation based scanning method to overcome the service disruption of the mobile stations connected via the mobile relay. In the proposed method, mobile stations subordinated in the mobile relay periodically measure the signal strength of neighbor base stations in order to perform handover. The measured signal strength is used to estimate the signal strength between the mobile relay and the neighbor base station. We performed simulations in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method in terms of the estimation accuracy and the overhead due to the exchange of channel information. By the simulation result, The estimation error is less than 4dBm when more than 6 mobile stations are used for the estimation. The overhead caused by the proposed method is less than that caused by the direct measurement of the mobile relay when the data rate is more than 8Mbps.

The safety applications based on the IEEE 802.11p, periodically transmit the safety-related information to all surrounding vehicles with high reliability and a strict timeline. However, due to the high vehicle mobility, dynamic network topology and limited network resource, the fixed beacon scheduling scheme excess delay and packet loss due to the channel contention and network congestion. With this motivation, we propose a novel beacon scheduling algorithm referred to as spatial-aware(SA) beacon scheduling based on the spatial context information, dynamically rescheduling the beaconing rate like a TDMA channel access scheme. The proposed SA beacon scheduling algorithm was evaluated using different highway traffic scenarios with both a realistic channel model and 802.11p model in our simulation. The simulation results showed that the performance of our proposed algorithm was better than the fixed scheduling in terms of throughput, channel access delay, and channel load. Also, our proposed algorithm is satisfy the requirements of vehicular safety application.

Recently, SUA(Sudden Unintended Acceleration) are increasingly occurred. However, all the responsibilities of SUA are accepted by an innocent driver despite of painful results due to mystery of accurate cause. If a driver raises this kind of trouble to the corresponding manufacturer, the automaker collects EDR installed in that vehicle and provides the result of their analysis as it turns out most of the analysis results were diagnosed "there is nothing wrong with the car". In this trend, the technology to protect drivers' position from SUA should be developed. In this study, the researchers aimed to develop a black box system that collects additional data from throttle valve which is considered as one of major causes of SUA accidents, in order to explain cause of SUA and defend innocent drivers.

In recent years, Drone(lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle) is used for broadcast shooting, disaster scene, leisure, observation and military purposes. However, as the use of drones increases the threat of hacking is also rising. Especially when a flying drone is seized, a dangerous situation can occur which is abused regardless of the driver's intention. Already in Iran and China, there is a case of hacking and stealing the drones of other countries under reconnaissance. In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabilities of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication in wireless network which are used in drones for stealing the commercial drones. The results provide a countermeasure to safeguard the drones against attempts by the unauthorized attacker to take out the drones.

Many ship researches have been carried out in connection with the fourth revolution, one of which focuses on EMS(energy management system). The EMS is referred to as systems for managing the energy of ships and include various systems. In this paper, we analyze the energy saving field in ship and propose a ship power energy management system including individual load control systems that can save energy in the engine room. EMS includes individual load control systems of PCS (Pump Control System), ERFCS (Engine Room Fan Control System), LCS (Load Control System), HVACS (Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning Control System). Proposed EMS primarily conserves energy in the individual load systems of the engine room. Secondly, the integrated monitoring and control system is used to control the power generation system and the power load system to save energy.

According to the prosecutors' office's statistics for 2014, 53% of a bicycle users have experienced theft. The reason for the high rate of bicycle stolen in Korea is that there is no bicycle management system. This is because they do not use bicycle numbers to manage bikes like cars do. Most people do not know if they have a VIN(Vehicle Identification Number) on their bike. If the buyer registers the bicycle in the bicycle management blockchain system, anyone can view the information registered in the chain, so that if the bicycle number is filled in, the bicycle can be identified. In addition, when an accident occurs, blockchain will record what kind of equipment it is replacing, like an automobile, to manage all the information about the bicycle. In this way, consumers can inquire whether they have a history of accident when they make a second-hand transaction. In this paper, we propose a method to construct bicycle management system using bicycle VIN.

The exchangeable battery electric bus is an eco-friendly public transportation vehicle. Due to the technological limitation, however, it should repeatedly change batteries with charged ones. The unmanned battery exchangeable electric bus being studied in Korea can exchange batteries automatically by using a battery swapping system. In this paper, we propose an unmanned battery exchangeable electric bus management system. The proposed system provides two services: the bus information service and the battery change scheduling service. The bus information service is the existing traditional metropolitan area bus information systems, which inform bus passengers how long they should wait for the buses. Our second service assigns a low-battery bus, which needs to change the batteries, to the battery swapping system, which stores fully-charged batteries. To validate the proposed system, we model the system by using the DEVS formalism. The simulation result shows that the proposed system provides the services properly.
