Various falling prevention systems with vertical guided rail have been supplied in order to prevent falling accidents and acquire the long life and cost down for the maintenance. Almost the imported system is composed of a guided rail and the comfort components. It has the mechanism that cannot be dismounted from the guided rail at the accident site. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop a falling prevent system that has a direct dismounting function, which can release easily from the falling accident point. This system has a high durability and robust. And the cost efficiency of the system and safety for workers also are improved remarkably. From the results, we showed the proposed new falling system is sufficiently safety and satisfies the KOSHA regulation through the numerical stress analysis. Also it is expected as the useful and effective safety device for workers.

The falling accidents have increased in the structure and heavy industries. Therefore, a various falling prevention systems with safety block and lanyard have been supplied in order to prevent falling accidents and acquire the long life and cost down for the maintenance. However, there are not the reliable and domestic the falling prevention system until now. Almost systems were imported from U.S.A, Japan, U.K and Germany. The structural safety of the imported safety block is satisfied sufficiently, but it has heavy weight due to the cover with the aluminum and thickness. So, many workers are not feeling themselves. Thus, the aim of this work is to develop a commercial safety block that has a light weight and strength. And the cost efficiency of the system and safety for workers also will be improved remarkably.

Many kinds of falling prevention systems with a safety block have been supplied in order to prevent falling accidents and acquire the long life and cost down for the maintenance. However, there are not the reliable and domestic the falling prevention system until now. Almost systems were imported from U.S.A, Japan, U.K and Germany. The structural safety of the imported safety block is satisfied sufficiently, but it has heavy weight due to the cover with the aluminum and thickness. Especially, the falling prevention system as the safety block is very expensive. It brings about flow the enormous money out of country. Furthermore it has a heavy weight when workers climbed the ladder with a falling prevention system and moved, many workers are not feeling themselves. Thus, the aim of this work is to develop a commercial self-escape SRL(Self Retracting Lifeline) with the safety block function that has a light weight and an advanced strength. The cost efficiency and convenience of the system and safety for workers also will be improved remarkably even though this system has a light weight. The results show that the maximum stress is obtained in each part by the lower more than yield strength and has sufficient safety in the developed new safety block.

대한민국은 심각한 자살시도에 휘말려 2003년 이후 지금까지 OECD 회원국 가운데 자살률 통계에 있어 상위권을 차지하고 있으며, 전년 대비 -5.0% 소폭하락 했지만 여전히 사망 요인 중 10세 이상 전 연령에서 자살이 가장 높으며, 이것은 반드시 해결해야 할 매우 중요한 사안들이다. 자살 수단별 사망률의 변화추이를 살펴보면 추락 및 투신을 통한 자살이 큰 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 국내뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 이에 대한 근본적인 대책마련이 없어 쉽게 해결할 수 없는 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 대표적인 예로 미국의 금문교에 최근 2억 달러를 들여 자살방지 그물망을 설치하고 있으며, 뉴질랜드의 경우 교량에 철망을 철거했다가 치솟은 자살률로 인해 디자인을 바꿔 다시 설치했으며, 캐나다와 호주의 경우도 교량에 철책을 둘러쌓아 교량의 미관을 포기한 채 투신자살만을 방지하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 국내 외의 자살방지 시스템과 관련된 특허기술에 대한 비교평가를 제안하고, 보안시설 및 제한구역에서의 접근차단, 특수시설에서의 월담방지와 추락 및 투신자살을 효과적으로 방지하기 위한 기계적 기술적 시스템인 롤린더 시스템을 제시하고자 한다. 마창대교는 롤린더 시스템 설치 전인 2016년 까지 8년간 33명이 자살시도를 하였으나, 2017년 롤린더 시스템 설치 후에는 자살시도의 획기적인 감축효과를 거두었다.

Humanoid robots, designed to interact in human environments, require stable mobility to ensure safety. When a humanoid robot falls, it causes damage, breakdown, and potential harm to the robot. Therefore, fall detection is critical to preventing the robot from falling. Prevention of falling of a humanoid robot requires an operator controlling a crane. For efficient and safe walking control experiments, a system that can replace a crane operator is needed. To replace such a crane operator, it is essential to detect the falling conditions of humanoid robots. In this study, we propose falling detection methods using Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model. The image data of a humanoid robot are collected from various angles and environments. A large amount of data is collected by dividing video data into frames per second, and data augmentation techniques are used. The effectiveness of the proposed CNN model is verified by the experiments with the humanoid robot MAX-E1.

In this paper, we investigate the patient fall prevention system to prevent the patient from falling out of the bed unintentionally on the bed of the bed. Patients stay in bed for many hours of hospitalization. During the hospitalization period, patients have low controllability of the body, as compared with normal persons, and fall due to intentional movements, resulting in a fall of the patient, can be a fatal threat to the patient. Therefore, an efficient fall prevention system is required. In this paper, the distance map to the patient is generated by the distance measuring sensor on the bed of the patient, and the risk is determined by estimating the position of the patient based on the distance map. As a result, when the distance map of the dangerous area is 150 mm or more, it is determined to be dangerous, and good results are obtained.

Falling is one of the major public problems to the elderly, resulting in limitations of daily living activities. It can be induced by the functional loss of the balance ability and muscle strength in the elderly. It has been, however, not well investigated to suggest an effective methodology improving the balance ability and muscle strength for the prevention of the falling due to lack of information about the characteristics of the balance and muscle activations responded to the dynamic motions. The aim of the current study is, therefore, to identify the characteristics of the balance and muscle activations responded to the dynamic motions in Anterior-Posterior(AP) and Medial Lateral(ML) directions. For that, a motion capture system with eight infrared cameras, surface electromyogram system and Wii Fit system with a customized variable unstable base were used and kinematic and kinetic data obtained from the systems were analyzed for five healthy male($24.8{\pm}3.3years$, $177.4{\pm}2.0cm$, $73.9{\pm}12.9kg$, $23.5{\pm}4.0kg/m$). The results showed that the characteristics of the balance and muscle activations were differently responded to between the dynamic motions in Anterior-Posterior(AP) and Medial Lateral(ML) directions. These findings may indicate that customized dynamic motions should be applied to the training of the balance ability and muscle strength for the effective prevention of the falling. This study may be meaningful to providing basic information to establish a guideline improving effectively the balance ability and muscle strength.

While institutional matters such as improvement on Basic Guidelines for Construction Safety are greatly concerned to reduce falling accidents at construction sites, there are short of studies on how to practically predict accident signs at construction sites and to preemptively prevent them. As one of existing accident prevention methods, it was attempted to build the early warning system based on standardized accident scenarios to control the situations. However, the investment cost was too high depending on the site situation, and it did not help construction workers directly since it was developed to mainly provide support operational work support to safety managers. In the long run, it would be possible to develop the augmented reality based accident prevention method from the worker perspective by extracting product information from BIM, visually rendering it along with site installation materials term and comparing it with the site situation. However, to make this method effective, the BIM model should be implemented first and the technology that can promptly process site situations should be introduced. Accordingly, it is necessary to identify risk signs through lightweight image processing to promptly respond only with currently available resources. In this study, it was intended to propose the system concept that identified potential risk factors of falling accidents by histogram equalization, which was known as the fastest image processing method presently, used visual words, which could enhance model classification by wording image records, to determine the risk factors and notified them to the work manager.
