A construction machine guidance system is an assistance system that helps construction equipment operators dig grounds during excavation work at a construction site. This system has long been applied in the overseas countries of the United States, Japan and Europe. However, the system has not been paid much attention in Korea. The objective of this paper is to present a business model for adopting construction machine guidance systems in Korea and evaluate the effectiveness of applying the system to excavation work. The business model in this study shows a new process of applying construction machine guidance system, business stakeholders and revenues, and suggests the benefits to the business stakeholders. A field test of the construction machine guidance system proves that the system can be applied as a tool that can improve the productivity of excavation work. This productivity improvement consequently demonstrates that the business model in this study is a prospective challenge in improving the effectiveness of excavation work at the construction site.

국내 건설현장의 인력은 점점 더 고령화 되고 있다. 건설기능인력의 부재 및 인력수급의 어려움으로 인한 건설공사의 생산성 및 품질저하를 막기 위한 다양한 방법들이 고안되고 있다. 특히 건설공사에 필수적인 중장비와 관련해서 Machine Guidance (MG), Remote Machine Control 등 다양한 방법을 적용하여 생산성 제고 및 품질 향상을 도모하고 있다. MG의 등장 이래로 많은 선행연구가 진행되었으나, 측설(공사 등에 있어서 굴착 경계면, 기준선 중심선 등을 표기하는 것)이 힘든 환경에서의 현장 테스트는 아직까지 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 측설이 복잡한 현장을 대상으로 MG 굴삭기의 현장 테스트를 진행하고 생산성 분석, 품질평가를 수행하였다. MG 굴삭기를 적용한 후 생산성을 분석한 결과 최솟값은 20.5%, 최댓값은 56.9%, 4일 평균 생산성은 표준품셈 대비 38.3% 증가하였다. 또한 품질평가를 진행한 결과 선행연구 결과 대비 수평 오차 ${\pm}1cm$, 수직 오차 ${\pm}2cm$로 검증되었다

도저는 고가의 건설장비로서 건설토공현장 정지작업에서 커다란 영향을 가져온다. 이러한 중요성에 따라서 머신 가이던스 시스템이 도저에 적용되어 토공 정지작업의 성과를 올리기 위한 노력이 진행되고 있다. 머신 가이던스 시스템은 정지작업 시 장비기사에게 정지작업에 필요한 굴삭깊이, 경사각도 등 정보를 제공하며, 장비기사는 제공되는 정보를 이용하여 측량기사의 도움을 최소화 하면서 정지작업을 진행할 수 있다. 이와 같이 머신 가이던스 시스템은 장비기사가 계획도면 상의 계획고에 맞추어 정지작업을 수행할 수 있도록 돕는 기능을 제공한다. 본 논문의 목적은 머신 가이던스 시스템이 기존 토공 정지작업과 비교하여 토공 정지작업에 가져오는 성과향상을 분석하는 것이다. 성과분석은 1) 생산성과 2) 정확도 2가지 관점에서 수행됐다. 여기서 생산성은 단위시간에 도출되는 작업량을 나타내며, 정확도는 계획도면에서 요구하는 계획고에서 벗어나는 정도를 나타낸다. 본 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 도저 머신 가이던스 시스템을 테스트 현장에 적용했으며, 적용결과 머신 가이던스 시스템이 전통적인 방법과 비교하여 생산성의 경우 46.59%, 정확도의 경우 46.96%만큼 증가되는 성과향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a study measuring productivity improvement by using a type of technology called "Machine Guidance" through work sampling in earthwork. Earthwork is the activity typically on the critical path, indicating that productivity for the activity is critical for managing schedule on time. Thanks to the development of sensing and information system technologies, productivity for earthwork has been improved. While there have been many studies investigating the application of a certain type of technology to earthwork, few studies have measured the productivity improvement and presented how the technology leads to productivity improvement. Based on the thorough literature review, it is hypothesized that Machine Guidance contributes to improving productivity of earthwork by reducing indirect workhours spent for information waiting and inspection. In addition to the literature review, this paper presents a research model to test the hypothesis by using the work sampling technique. By proving and quantifying the productivity improvement from the technology use, this study can help practitioners justify the investment for technology use, which will contribute to the deployment of technology and more effective execution of earthwork.

A linear motor has a lot of advantages in comparison with conventional feed mechanisms: high transitional speed, acceleration, high control performance and good positioning at high speed. Through the omission of a power transfer element, the linear motor shows no wear and no backlash, has along lifetime and is easy to assemble. Recently, the two types of linear motors, asynchronous and synchronous linear motors, are often applied to machine tools as a fast feed mechanism. In this paper, a comparison between the two types of linear motors as to power loss and thermal behavior is made. The heat sources of the linear motor-the electrical power loss in the motor and the frictional heat on the linear guidance-are measured and compared. Also, the temperature on the linear motor and machine structure is measured and presented.

Autonomous farm operation needs to be developed for safety, labor shortage problem, health etc. In this research, an autonomous tractor for tillage was investigated using machine vision and a fuzzy logic controller(FLC). Tractor heading and offset were determined by image processing and a geomagnetic sensor. The FLC took the tractor heading and offset as inputs and generated the steering angle for tractor guidance as output. A color CCD camera was used fro the image processing . The heading and offset were obtained using Hough transform of the G-value color images. 15 fuzzy rules were used for inferencing the tractor steering angle. The tractor was tested in the file and it was proved that the tillage operation could be done autonomously within 20 cm deviation with the machine vision and the FLC.

Linear motor is characterized by its high velocity, high acceleration and good positioning accuracy. In recent years, linear motor is often used as a fast feed mechanism for high-speed machine tools. For the effective application of linear motors to machine tools, many demands on machine conceptions must be fulfilled. In this paper, some important construction concepts such as bending deformation of machine table, frictional force on the linear guidance and thermal behavior of linear motors are presented.

The guidance core is a principal part installed between the ink and the pen nib for the function of supplying ink to paper with reqularity. The current measurement of this product, Guidance core, in service is done by on operator with a micrometer, which could result in the decrease of productivity and working efficiency as well as causing errors. In this study, the existing measurement of the dialmeter of the Guidance core in the centerless grinding process is changed to the inprocessor measurement which enables consecutive measurement during the production of the Guidance core, and this system is also developed to work properly under bad circumstances and to have superior reliance and operational efficiency.

AMachine vision is a promising tool for the autonomous guidance of farm machinery. Conventional CCD camera for the machine vision needs a desktop PC to install a frame grabber, however, a web camera is ready to use when plugged in the USB port. A web camera with a notebook PC can replace existing camera system. Autonomous steering control system of this research was intended to be used for combine harvester. If the web camera can recognize cut/uncut edge of crop, which will be the reference for steering control, then the position of the machine can be determined in terms of lateral offset and heading angle. In this research, a white line was used as a cut/uncut edge of crop for steering control. Image processing algorithm including capturing image in the web camera was developed to determine the desired travel path. An experimental vehicle was constructed to evaluate the system performance. Since the vehicle adopted differential drive steering mechanism, it is steered by the difference of rotation speed between left and right wheels. According to the position of vehicle, the steering algorithm was developed as well. Evaluation tests showed that the experimental vehicle could travel within an RMS error of 0.8cm along the desired path at the ground speed of $9\sim41cm/s$. Even when the vehicle started with initial offsets or tilted heading angle, it could move quickly to track the desired path after traveling $1.52\sim3.5m$. For turning section, i.e., the curved path with curvature of 3 m, the vehicle completed its turning securely.

Intelligent devices using ICT technology have been introduced in the field of construction machinery to improve productivity and stability. Among the intelligent devices, Machine Guidance is a device that provides real-time posture, location, and work range to drivers by installing various sensors, controllers, and satellite navigation systems on construction machines. Conversely, the efficiency of equipment that requires location information, such as machine guidance, will be greatly reduced in buildings, and tunnels in the GPS blind spots. Thus, the other high-precision positioning technologies are required in the GPS blind spot zone. In this study, we will develop a relative position measurement system that provides precise location information such as construction machinery and robots in a local area where the GPS reception is difficult. A relative position measurement system tracks a marker in the form of a sphere installed on a vehicle by using the image base tracking technology, and measures the distance and direction information to the marker to calculate a position.
