  • Recently, the need for emergency medical facilities is increasing due to a large-scale disaster. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety has completed the development of Disaster Resource Sharing System (DRSS). In this system, only air tent and negative pressure tent, which are classified and managed as equipment are resources related to emergency medical facility at disaster site. However, the characteristics of resources for the facility such as the time of input, a period of stay, transportation, and installation methods were not reflected. So, The purpose of this study is to propose improvements of management of resources for emergency medical facility at disaster site, that classified to materials and equipment in DRSS. This study analyzed the state of resources for facilities and the attributes of resources based on literature and disaster medical consultation of mobile hospitals. The resources for emergency medical facility are required to be linked to medical support resources and reflected in the DRSS, since emergency medical facility resources at the disaster site should be managed through a combination of medical resources classified as equipment. And future research on installation of emergency medical facilities plan considering the cost of the disaster management resources should be carried out.

  • Recently, various studies have been conducted to apply deep learning and AI to various fields of autonomous driving, such as recognition, sensor processing, decision-making, and control. This paper proposes a controller applicable to path following, static obstacle avoidance, and pedestrian avoidance situations by utilizing reinforcement learning in autonomous vehicles. For repetitive driving simulation, a reinforcement learning environment was constructed using virtual environments. After learning path following scenarios, we compared control performance with Pure-Pursuit controllers and Stanley controllers, which are widely used due to their good performance and simplicity. Based on the test case of the KNCAP test and assessment protocol, autonomous emergency steering scenarios and autonomous emergency braking scenarios were created and used for learning. Experimental results from zero collisions demonstrated that the reinforcement learning controller was successful in the stationary obstacle avoidance scenario and pedestrian collision scenario under a given condition.

  • This study is to review and re-establish LH disaster response and safety management system of the construction site and rental apartment complex in order to make an effective response and minimize damage in the face of disaster. I suggest directions for the improvement of disaster management systems. To achieve this, I reviewed the existing disaster response organization and accept opinions of the operating department in order to constitute effective organization which respond quickly and efficiently in emergency, and assigned new roles and responsibilities at each organization. Furthermore, I setup and suggested response manuals for each possible disasters.

  • Evacuation facilities are installed so that people can evacuate high-rise apartment houses when it is impossible to escape fire through the front door. The households of apartment houses may escape the building in two ways, which will reduce loss of lives. This study examined the characteristics of two-way evacuation facilities, including a light-weight partition wall, shelter space at the balcony and horizontally-installed indoor emergency exit. Then, it proposed a horizontally-installed outdoor emergency exit that improved the problems of the examined facility types, and analyzed its economic-feasibility. When a horizontally-installed emergency exit instead of a traditional type to escape from fire is used, people may be more autonomous in deciding whether active evacuation is possible or not. Thus, the time required to evacuate the building with 4 different evacuation methods using the stairs and horizontally-installed emergency exit was simulated in consideration of the impact of evacuation methods that people choose on the time required for evacuation using pathfinder. Then, the simulation results were compared and analyzed. Any appropriate evacuation method to reduce the time required for evacuation was predicted, analyzed and decided. As a result of this study, it was analyzed that the high - rise apartment top - down type evacuation zone can shorten the total evacuation time compared to the staircase type.

Recently, CTTS (Closed Transition Transfer Switch) is being used as uninterruptible power transfer switch at the Common sources of electricity, generator and multiple generators. In this paper, construction plans for uninterruptible power supply system has been suggested in which CTTS has been applied to the secondary of incoming power generator for reliable common dual system method. By briefing the construction of incoming power facilities, large capacity UPS, emergency generator installation space and investment saving effects can be achieved.

  • Purpose: This study aims to establish detailed spatial planning by identifying the needs for a seclusion module for emergency psychiatric patients. Methods: The necessity of medical space with seclusion function was analyzed from spatial, medical, and social perspectives. The needs for a space capable of performing three medical functions: protection, isolation, and treatment, was analyzed. Among various types of mobile medical facilities, seclusion space was considered suitable for utilizing modular construction methods, as it is the most rational method that can satisfy the environmental level of fixed healthcare facilities' space. Therefore, seclusion modules based on modular construction were planned, consisting of two protective units for stabilizing patients with psychiatric illness, one for treatment unit that can accommodate both internal and external treatment, and another one for an infectious disease isolation unit equipped with negative pressure equipment. Implications: This study analyzed the necessary medical functions of the interior space of the mobile stabilization module based on the spatial analysis of existing medical facilities, and proposed alternative spatial configurations according to treatment, seclusion, isolation functions.

  • The time taken for an ischemic heart disease patient to have a percutaneous coronary intervention because of acute myocardial infarction after arriving at the hospitals (door-to-balloon time) affects the patient's mortality significantly. To improve the emergency service system that has been previously used in the hospitals, this study focused on reducing door-data time and data-to-decision time among three time stages. The newly established e-emergency service system has set up the database of patients that had an emergency operation for acute myocardial infarction in the emergency service system of the hospital and has issued health cards for the patients that regularly visit the Busan National University Hospital. In addition, it has stored prior operation permits in the form of a certified electronic document. The new electronic system will reduce the complex treatment and operation procedures innovatively. Therefore, it is expected that this will make the life save (or the emergency patients easier and reduce the mortality. Moreover, it will also settle down the hospital staff's and patients' predicaments caused by the complex procedure of the legacy system.
