There is an increasing interest in research to help overcome the energy crisis that has been focused on energy storage applications in various parts of power systems. Energy storage systems are good at enhancing the reliability or improving the efficiency of a power system by creating a time gap between the generation and the consumption of power. As a contribution to the various applications of storage devices, this paper describes a novel algorithm that determines the power and storage capacity of selected energy storage devices in order to improve upon railroad system efficiency. The algorithm is also demonstrated by means of simulation studies for the Korean railroad lines now in service. A part of this novel algorithm includes the DC railroad powerflow algorithm that considers the mobility of railroad vehicles, which is necessary because the electric railroad system has a distinct distribution system where the location and power of vehicles are not fixed values. In order to derive a more accurate powerflow result, this algorithm has been designed to consider the rail voltage as well as the feeder voltage for calculating the vehicle voltage. By applying the resultant control scheme, the charging or discharging within a specific voltage boundary, energy savings and a substation voltage stabilization using storage devices are achieved at the same time.

본 논문에서는 차량에 설치된 카메라를 활용하여 차선을 추출하고, 차량이탈을 검출하기 위한 방법에 대해서 논의한다. 하드웨어 기술의 발달로 지능형 자동차에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행됨에 따라서, 카메라를 활용한 차선인식 및 차량이탈검출과 관련하여 다양한 알고리즘들이 제시 되었다. 그러나 이들 연구에서는 영상에서 2개의 차선을 모두 찾아야 하기 때문에 처리속도 및 실제 운행환경에서의 다양한 여건으로 인하여 검출률이 떨어진다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 빠른 속도와 높은 검출률을 위해 단일차선을 추출하고, 중심점 분석을 통한 차선이탈검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 카메라의 기하학적 모델링을 통하여 차선이 존재하는 관심영역을 설정하고, 원본 이미지를 이등분한 후에 허프변환(Hough Transform)을 사용하여 한 차선의 일부를 찾아낸 후에, 일정 크기로 복원한다. 복원한 차선을 설정된 중심점과의 거리계산을 통하여 차선이탈을 판단한다. 실차실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘을 기존의 알고리즘과 비교 검증을 수행하였고, 이를 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 빠르고 정확함을 보였다.

고속도로에서 화물차는 승용차에 비해 도로의 많은 부분을 점유한다. 이로 인해 도로의 용량은 상대적으로 감소하며, 국소적으로 주변 운전자에게 위협적인 요소로 작용한다. 화물차 사고는 일반적인 사고와 달리 사고 특성이 다르므로 분석 방법 또한 일반적인 사고와 다르게 적용해야 한다. 사고 분석 방법 중 사고예측모형은 특정 구간에 대한 사고건수를 예측하며 교통계획을 수립할 때 사고 예방을 위한 대책 수립과 도로의 위험성을 진단할 때 활용된다. 이에 본 연구는 고속도로의 화물차 간 사고 비율을 적용하여 사고예측모형에 투입될 수 있는 보정계수를 산출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구를 위해 고속도로를 대상으로 사고 자료를 수집하였으며 2014~2016년까지 3개 년도의 교통량 및 사고 자료를 활용하였다. 연간 사고건수를 토대로 사고예측모형을 개발하였으며, 본 연구를 통해 화물차 간 사고 비율에 따른 사고예측모형을 비교함으로써 실질적인 고속도로 사고예측모형을 확인하고 그에 대한 대책을 제시하고자 한다.

It has been only a few years since drones have been introduced to Korea, and as the use of drones has increased in industrial sites as well as in hobby activities, accidents such as workers' body parts coming into contact with rotating propellers have been occurring since 2016. Industrial accident cases are being filed. In the case of a remote control vehicle, if you release the remote controller in the event of an abnormal situation, it stops in place and no further danger occurs but in case of drones flying over the sky is different. Sudden motor stops during flight, uncontrolled changes in flight posture, loss of radio waves, loose propeller, etc, numerous factors can lead to accidents due to unintentional movements. Therefore, drone operators need safety knowledge as well as high knowledge about drones. However, drones with a weight of less than 12 kg can fly without a pilot's certification, and therefore, a minimum accident prevention measure is required. 10 accidents approved as industrial accidents since 2016, 23 accidents surveyed by general drone operator, 40 accidents surveyed by the Korean Consumer Resources Unfortunately for the purpose of writing this paper, drones are a new species and do not have many parameters for analysis but my experience has shown that the type of disaster does not deviate significantly. In addition, there is no paper that analyzes drone related industrial accidents not only in Korea but also in other countries. However, even if you watch an overseas drone accident video through YouTube, it is not much different from the case that occurs in Korea. I hope that this study will be of little help to all the drone pilots as well as the work safety of industrial drones used in industrial sites.

Using lightweight materials in vehicle manufacturing in order to reduce energy consumption is one of the most effective approach to decrease pollutant emissions. As a lightweight material, magnesium is increasingly employed in automotive parts. However, because of its hexagonal closed-packed(HCP) crystal structure, in which only the basal plane can move, the magnesium alloy sheets show low ductility and formability at room temperature. Thus the press forming of magnesium alloy sheets has been performed at elevated temperature within range of $200^{\circ}C{\sim}250^{\circ}C$. Here we try the possibility of sheet metal forming at room temperature by adopting incremental forming technique with rotating tool, which is so called as rotational-incremental sheet forming(RISF). In this rotational-incremental sheet forming the spindle tool rotates on the surface of the sheet metal and moves incrementally with small pitch to fit the sheet metal on the desired shape. There are various variables defining the formability of sheet metals in the incremental forming such as speed of spindle, pitch size, lubricants, etc. In this study, we clarified the effects of spindle speed and pitch size upon formability of magnesium alloy sheets at room temperature. In case of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4mm of pitch size with hemispherical rotating tool of 6.0mm radius, the maximum temperature at contact area between rotating tool and sheet metal were $119.2^{\circ}C,\;130.8^{\circ}C,\;and\;177.3^{\circ}C$. Also in case of 300, 500, and 700rpm of spindle speed, the maximum temperature at the contact area were $109.7^{\circ}C,\;130.8^{\circ}C\;and\;189.8^{\circ}C$.

최근 컴퓨터비전을 이용하여 부품의 치수를 정확하게 그리고 빠르게 측정하고자 하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 컴퓨터비전의 경우 조명이 완벽하지 않으면 노이즈가 많이 발생하는 경우가 있다. 실제 산업현장에서는 기계들 간의 간섭에 의해 완벽한 조명을 구현하기 어렵기 때문에 노이즈를 피하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 튜브의 내경 반지름 측정 시 문제가 되는 노이즈를 효과적으로 제거하고 반지름 측정의 정밀도를 향상시키기 위한 컴퓨터 비전 측정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 표준편차가 최소가 되는 중심점을 이용하여 노이즈를 제거하고 이 때 발생되는 원호상의 불연속 문제는 원호 연결 알고리즘으로 해결하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 노이즈가 추가된 원과 실제 튜브의 영상을 이용한 실험을 통해 증명하였다. 15%의 수준의 노이즈가 추가된 원의 반경을 구하는 실험에서도 1.4% 수준의 오차를 보여주어 본 알고리즘의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The interior vehicle noise due to the exterior aerodynamic field is an important topic in the acoustic design of a car. The air flow detached from the A-pillar and impacting the side windows are of particular interest as they are located close to the driver / passenger and provides a lower insulation index than the trimmed car body parts. HMC is interested in the numerical prediction of this aerodynamic noise generated by the car windows with the final objective of improving the products design and reducing this noise. The methodology proposed in this paper relies on two steps: the first step involves the computation of the exterior flow and turbulence induced non-linear acoustic field using the CAA(Computational aeroacoustics) solver CAA++. The second step consists in the computation of the vibro-acoustic transmission through the side window using the finite element vibro-acoustic solver Actran. The internal air cavity including trim component are included in the simulation. In order to validate the numerical process, an experimental set-up has been created based on a generic car shape. The car body includes the windshield and two side windows. The body is made of aluminum and trimmed with porous layers. First, this paper describes the method including the CAA and the vibro-acoustic models, from the boundary conditions to the different components involved, like the windows, the trims and the car cavity is detailed. In a second step, the experimental set-up is described. In the last part, the vibration of the windshield and windows, the total wind noise level results and the relative contributions of the different windows are then presented and compared to measurements. The influence of the flow yaw angle (different wind orientation) is also assessed.

As the consumer market in the cosmetic, vehicle manufacturing and aerospace industries grows, the demand for manufacturing industries using on injection mold technology. Also, such manufacturing technology of metal machining is expensive, and the shape is limited. Cosmetic cushion fact products are divided into outer relevant to the exterior of the product and inner containers containing the actual contents. In the case of the inner container, it needs to be combined with the upper and lower cases. As environmental regulations are strengthened internationally, the use of a large number of component parts can result in significant losses in recycling and economics. Therefore, this study aims to perform injection molding analysis through injection molding simulation to develop a cushion fact container that can be recycled through the unification of products and materials using polypropylene to cope with environmental regulations. In the case of injection molding conditions, Injection Time(sec): 4.5, Cooling Time(sec): 13, Resin Temperature($^{\circ}C$): 240, and Pressure(MPa): 30 were determined. The results of injection molding simulation according to the two design methods were compared with the sync mark which shows the problem of filling and injection molding.

Wheel bearings are important automotive parts that bear the vehicle weight and translate rotation motion; in addition, their seals are components that prevent grease leakage and foreign material from entering from the outside of the bearings. Recently, as the need for electric vehicles and eco-friendly vehicles has been emerging, the reduction in fuel consumption and $CO_2$ emissions are becoming the most important issues for automobile manufacturers. In the case of wheel bearings, seals are a key part of drag torque. In this study, we investigate the prediction of the drag torque taking into consideration the hyperelastic and viscoelastic material properties of automotive wheel bearing seals. Numerical analysis based on the finite element method is conducted for the deformation analyses of the seals. To improve the reliability of the rubber seal analysis, three types of rubber material properties are considered, and analysis is conducted using the hyperelastic material properties. Viscoelastic material property tests are also conducted. Deformation analysis considering the hyperelastic and viscoelastic material properties is performed, and the effects of the viscoelastic material properties are compared with the results obtained by the consideration of the hyperelastic material properties. As a result of these analyses, the drag torque is 0.29 Nm when the hyperelastic characteristics are taken into account, and the drag torque is 0.27 Nm when both the hyperelastic and viscoelastic characteristics are taken into account. Therefore, it is determined that the analysis considering both hyperelastic and viscoelastic characteristics must be performed because of its reliability in predicting the drag torque of the rubber seals.

차량용 HUD는 자동차 전면 유리창에 안전 운전과 편의 운전 관련 다양한 정보를 표시해 주는 장치로 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 증강현실 기술에 적용이 가능한 대면적 비구면 자유형상 미러를 가공하기 위해 초정밀 가공기를 이용하여 가공을 실시하였고 그 결과를 측정하였다. 초정밀 다이아몬드 절삭은 정밀도가 높을 뿐만 아니라 표면 거칠기와 잔류 응력을 낮게 할 수 있어서 우수한 표면 무결성을 갖는 고급 부품의 생산에 유리하다. 또한 비구면 자유 형상의 몰드를 사용함으로써 광학 전달 함수의 개선, 왜곡 경로의 감소 및 특수 이미지 필드 곡률의 실현과 같은 장점을 얻을 수 있다. 이와 같은 비구면 자유형상 금형을 가공하기 위한 방법으로는 초정밀가공기를 이용한 다이아몬드 절삭 방법을 사용하였으며, 제작된 비구면 자유형상 미러 금형의 평가는 비구면 형상 측정기를 이용하여 실시하였다. 이러한 방법에 의해 $1{\mu}m$ 이하의 형상 정밀도(PV)와 $0.02{\mu}m$ 이하의 표면 거칠기(Ra)를 갖는 비구면 자유형상 금형을 제작할 수 있었다.
