화산재해 피해 예측 시스템은 기상과 화산분화 시뮬레이션 결과를 기반으로 화산재해대응을 위한 판단을 도와주는 시스템이다. 이 시스템에서 Fall3D라는 프로그램은 기상정보를 바탕으로 화산분화 이후 화산재의 확산예측결과를 생성하고 기상정보를 생성하기 위해 WRF라는 기상수치예보모델을 사용한다. 두 시뮬레이션의 프로그램을 수정하지 않고, 전체 실행시간을 줄이기 위해서는 WRF의 기상예측모델의 시간별 부분결과가 발생할 때마다 Fall3D를 부분수행 할 수 있도록 하는 파이프라이닝 방식을 생각할 수 있다. 이를 위해서 Fall3D와 같은 후속계산은 선행계산의 부분결과가 생성될 때까지 일시정지하고, 계산에 필요한 정보가 발생하면 재개할 수 있어야한다. 비록 Fall3D가 이런 일시정지와 재개기능을 가지고 있지는 않지만 그 이전 계산을 이어서 진행할 수 있는 재시작기능을 활용하여 파이프라이닝 효과를 낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 실행 형태를 제어할 수 있는 워크플로우를 제안한다.

Due to the rapidly aging population, the death rate of elderly people by safety accidents has been increasing. In particular, precautions are needed for falls prevention because they either directly or indirectly cause death. In the case of elderly people, most of the fall accidents occur in dense residential areas, and particularly, the staircase poses a risk of falling. Therefore, a safety assessment should be performed from the design phase. However, in general, staircases are designed using existing stair data or only aims to satisfy the installation criteria. Laws and regulations only define minimum requirements for safety, so it is not possible to prevent fall accidents even if they satisfy the requirements. Therefore, this study proposes a simulation-based method for evaluating the safety of staircases. The behavioral characteristics of the elderly are implemented to an virtual user in a virtual space including staircases, and fall accidents are evaluated by the evaluation logic related to the behavioral characteristics. The result shows that the safety of staircases can be preevaluated and reflected on the design to reduce the possibility of fall accidents of the elderly.

In this paper, a method of detecting the emergency situations such as body fall is proposed by using color images. We detect body areas and key parts of a body through a pre-learned Mask R-CNN in the images captured by a camera. Then we find the centerline of the body through the joint points of both shoulders and feet. Also, we calculate an angle to the center line and then calculate the amount of change in the angle per hour. If the angle change is more than a certain value, then it is decided as a suspected fall. Also, if the suspected fall state persists for more than a certain frame, then it is determined as a fall situation. Simulation results show that the proposed method can detect body fall situation accurately.

The social activities of the elderly have been increasing as our society progresses toward an aging society. As their activities are increased, the occurrence of falls that could lead to fractures are increased. Falls are serious health hazards to the elderly and we need more thorough understanding of falls including the progress of falls and the impact area in various fall directions. Many of the traditional methods of falls research dealt with voluntary falls by younger subject since older subject can easily get fracture from voluntary falls. So, it has been difficult to get exact data about falls of the elderly. Here, we tried to capture the characteristics of the movements of major joints using three dimensional motion capture system during falls experiments using a moving mattress that can safely induce unexpected falls. Healthy younger subjects participated in the actual falls experiment and the moving mattress was actuated by a pneumatic system. The kinematic parameters such as velocities of major segments were imported to a computer simulation environment and falls to hard surfaces were simulated in a computational environment using a realistic human model of aged persons. The simulation was able to give approximations to contact forces which can occur during actual falls. And we designed impact absorption system to reduce the impact during falls. We can adapt this system to fracture prevention system that we are going to study.

본 논문은 영상처리 기반의 낙상 감지 알고리즘의 설계 및 구현에 관한 내용을 기술한다. 영상처리 기반의 낙상 감지 알고리즘은 카메라로 획득한 입력 영상을 그레이 스케일 변환 후 배경차분과 이진화를 통해 객체를 분리하고, 라벨링을 통해 인체를 인식한다. 인식된 인체는 출력 영상으로 확인이 가능하며 낙상을 감지하게 되면 알람이 발생한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘을 실험한 결과 90%의 검출율을 보여주었다. DSP 영상처리 보드에 구현한 시제품 시험을 통하여 기능을 검증함으로서 실용화 가능성을 확인하였다.

Due to the increasing needs of anti-fall device for elderly, it is required to develop the test rigs for fall simulation. The femoral bone model consists of silicone and steel is used as an effective device to simulate falls. In this work, we propose five different femoral bone models and analyse them by using a commercial FEA tool. It has been shown that two kinds of simplified models exhibit the simulated side falls with an error range of ~1% in the impact load of femoral neck compared with full model. Especially, the upper tissue model is found to provide us with the best efficient test environment, attributable to its simple structure.

Telematics services include automatic location tracking for emergency rescue, which is available for use in case of a car accident due to falling off roadways. This paper presents a simulation study on how far a car will fall before it hits the ground if it drops off of a roadway due to an accident or a natural disaster. The greatest horizontal distance the falling car can travel is presented in this paper, based on the assumption that air resistance as well as the direction and degree of acceleration due to gravity is negligible. This paper also presents the depth of the dent caused by the car sinking into the ground, the time it took for the car to fall free, and the velocity at which it travelled and horizontal distance it traveled. In this paper, the damage done to cars that crash into the ground and the dangers thereof are graphically represented.

노인의 생활안전 사고 유형 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하는 낙상은 50% 이상이 가정에서 발생하는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 만 65세 이상 노인의 67.1%는 자녀와 동거를 희망하지 않으며 점점 더 독거노인의 비율은 늘어나, 낙상으로 인한 사고의 발생률은 더 높아질 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실내 바닥의 진동을 측정, 분석하여 낙상의 유무를 판별하고자 하였으며 이를 위해 피에조 필름 센서와 Op-Amp, DAQ를 이용하여 하드웨어를 구성하였다. 여기서 제안한 시스템은 바닥 진동을 측정할 수 있는 신호 처리부, 낙상 발생 시 사용자의 의식 확인을 위한 경보부로 구성하였다. 진동 신호는 k-NN분류기를 이용하여 낙상 유무를 판별한다. 실험결과, 분류기는 3.8%의 오차를 나타내어, 진동을 이용한 낙상 검출 가능성을 보여주고 있다.
