Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have mostly been used for military purposes but with the progress in ICT and reduced manufacturing costs, they are increasingly used for various private services. UAVs are expected to carry out autonomous flying in the future. In order to carry out complex tasks, swarm flights are essential. Although the swarm flights has been researched a lot due to its different network and infrastructure from the existing UAV system, There are still not enough study on security threats and requirements for the secure swarm flights. In this paper, to solve these problems, UAV autonomous flight technology is defined based on US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), and swarm flights and security threat about it are classified. And then we defined and compared security requirements according to security threats of each swarm flights so as to contribute to the development of secure UAC swarm flights in the future.

The prosperity of IT technologies and the removal of restrictions regarding Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have driven growth in their popularity. However, without a proper solution to the problem of accident avoidance for UAVs, this popularity increases the potential for collisions between UAVs and between UAV and terrain features. These collisions can occur because UAVs to date have flown using radio control or image recognition based autonomous navigation. Therefore, we propose efficient UAV routing schemes to tackle the collision problem using vehicular communication systems. Performance evaluation by computer simulation shows that the proposed methods effectively reduce the collision probability and improve the routing efficiency of the UAV. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are compatible and can be directly applied with small overhead to the commercial vehicular communication system implementation.

최근 여러 분야에서 드론에 대한 관심도가 높아짐에 따라, 하천분야에서도 다양한 연구에 드론이 활용하고 있다. 드론관련 기술의 발전으로 GPS와 같은 첨단 기술이 탑재되어 사용자에게 여러가지 정보를 제공하며, 조작 또한 간단하여 누구나 쉽게 활용할 수 있다. 그리고 무엇보다도 사람이 접근하기 힘든 지역을 쉽게 촬영할 수 있다는 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 드론을 기반으로 표면영상유속측정법을 적용시켜 하천의 표면유속을 효율적으로 측정하는 것이다. 표면영상유속측정법은 카메라로 촬영된 영상을 이용하여 표면유속을 도출하기 때문에 촬영된 영상이 무엇보다도 중요하다. 하지만 드론으로 촬영된 영상들은 아무리 정지비행을 잘하더라도 필연적으로 영상에 흔들림이 존재한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 흔들린 영상에 대하여 형태 정합법에 의해 보정을 하였으며, 이는 가장 핵심적인 기술이라 할 수 있다. 형태 정합법에 의한 영상 보정 과정은 고정된 표정점을 영상에서 추적한 뒤, 기준 영상의 표정점과 보정 영상의 표정점이 일치하도록 보정하였다. 영상 보정 후 영상 처리와 분석프로그램을 통하여 유속을 도출한다. 기존의 표면영상유속측정법에서는 표정점을 설치한 후 각 표정점마다 측량을 실시하여 좌표를 측정하였다. 이는 한국건설기술연구원 안동하천실험센터와 같이 이상적인 실험을 진행할 수 있는 환경에서는 문제가 없다. 하지만 실제 하천에서 표면유속측정 시 하천의 폭, 주변 환경 등의 영향으로 측량작업에 많은 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 Arduino와 GPS센서를 이용하여 표정점을 구성하였다. Arduino와 GPS 센서를 이용하면 각 표정점들의 좌표를 노트북에서 실시간으로 자동으로 확인할 수 있다. GPS 센서의 측정 오차에 따라 관측 오차가 다소 존재하지만, 실제 측량을 할 때와는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 신속하게 표정점의 좌표를 구할 수 있다. 이를 바탕으로 실험 하천에 대해 적용한 결과 기존의 방법에 비하여 간편하고 빠르게 표면유속측정을 수행할 수 있었으며, 표면유속측정값 또한 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper discusses the utilization of fault-tolerant technology in the industry by analyzing the status of drone failures in the unmanned vehicle industry survey conducted in 2020. Based on the survey results of the domestic unmanned vehicle industry, we identify subsystems with high fault rates and high severity when faults occur. In addition, fault simulations of the identified subsystems are conducted to analyze the effect of the fault on the vehicles. After that, the fault diagnosis and fault compensation methods studied so far are reviewed, and research cases of the methods are examined. Moreover, the ways to apply it to actual fault cases in the unmanned vehicle industry are debated. Furthermore, based on the previous discussion, the fault-tolerant system is presented, and the consideration when designing the fault-tolerant system in the industry are studied.

Due to climate change, interest in crop production and distribution is increasing, and attempts are being made to use bigdata and AI to predict production volume and control shipments and distribution stages. Prediction of agricultural product imports not only affects prices, but also controls shipments of farms and distributions of distribution companies, so it is important information for establishing marketing strategies. In this paper, we create an artificial intelligence prediction model that predicts the future import volume based on the wholesale market melon import volume data disclosed by the agricultural statistics information system and evaluate its accuracy. We create prediction models using three models: the Neural Prophet technique, the Ensembled Neural Prophet model, and the GRU model. As a result of evaluating the performance of the model by comparing two major indicators, MAE and RMSE, the Ensembled Neural Prophet model predicted the most accurately, and the GRU model also showed similar performance to the ensemble model. The model developed in this study is published on the web and used in the field for 1 year and 6 months, and is used to predict melon production in the near future and to establish marketing and distribution strategies.

The proposed system provides a smooth call environment between the emergency call system in the elevator and maintenance managers in case of an emergency, performs rapid response processing to elevator emergency calls through monitoring of the target elevator, and handles any emergency calls that may occur in the physical space of the elevator. The purpose is to build an environment that can implement low-latency, real-time video call services of voice and video by overcoming the physical constraints required for video calls. To this end, we have established a service environment based on OpenAPI, which is currently used in various fields and its performance has been proven, and provides video calls and emergency situation dissemination through rapid messaging by providing low-latency call quality. The presented system structure will be able to provide a basis for expanding various functions and constructing a reliable service environment and intelligent model for the elevator system through combination with the elevator control panel and various devices.

The utilization of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has expanded into both military and civilian domains, increasing the necessity for research to ensure operational safety and the efficient utilization of airspace. In this study, the calculation of minimum separation distances for the safe operation of small UAVs at low altitudes was conducted. The determination of minimum separation distances requires a comprehensive analysis of the total system errors associated with small UAVs, necessitating sensitivity analysis to identify key factors contributing to flight technology errors. Flight data for small UAVs were acquired by integrating the control system of an actual small UAV with a flight simulation program. Based on this data, operational scenarios for small UAVs were established, and the minimum separation distances for each scenario were calculated. This research contributes to proposing methods for utilizing calculated minimum separation distances as crucial parameters for ensuring the safe operation of small unmanned aerial vehicles in real-world scenarios.
