The brakes are the most important safety-critical accident avoidance components of a motor vehicle. They must perform safely under a variety of operating conditions and must have enough strength not to fail during the life of a vehicle. Recently, anti-lock brake systems are used on more and more passenger cars. The ABS brakes modulate brake line pressure to prevent brakes from locking during braking. In this study, finite element analysis, material test for FCD45, measurement of stress and cumulative fatigue damage analysis were performed to evaluate fatigue damage of the caliper housing under ABS mode.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause (70%) of children injury and fatality. 98% of Children under the age of 9 who came to emergency room with a traffic accident are not seated in CRS. Reduction in mortality when using CRS (NHTSA study), 71% for infants of 1-2 years old, 54% for 3-6 years old and 7-12 years old. It is very important and essential to use CRS for child passenger safety. But in Korean market, the CRS fitment rate is relatively low (20~40%). For European market, at the start of 2013, Euro NCAP started to check how easy it is to install the most common seats. And US market, NHTSA is planning a new consumer information program of CRS fitment for near future. This study examines CRS installation performance of 3 vehicles which are produced by GM Korea and 21 CRS which are based on sales volume in Korean market. Purpose of this study is to identify both vehicle and CRS design that causes bad interaction for CRS installation.

With the increase of population, dramatic urbanization, traffic, leisure and sports, the number of maxillofacial injury has increased markedly. Subsequently the number of motor vehicle accident, sports accident and industrial accident were increased and the number of oral and maxillofacial trauma patients were also markedly increased. A clinical study on 177 patients with facial bone fracture who visited Kangnam General Hospital during 4 years(1992-1995) was done by analysing sex, cause, fracture site, treatment method, complication and involvement of other body part. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The occurrence was more frequent in male than in female with the ratio of 4.2 : 1 and most frequently in twenties. 2. Violence was the most common cause of facial bone fracture. 3. Mandible was the most frequently occurred site and there were more cases of simple fracture(81.9%) than cases of compound fracture. 4. Simple fracture was most frequently occurred(44.0%). 5. In mandible fracture, simple fracture was 86.1%, fracture site was average 1.5 sites, most frequently in symphysis. 6. As treatment methods, open reduction(78.5%) was used more frequently than closed reduction(21.5%). 7. Post-operative complication occurred in 29.4% of the cases. 8. Other injuries that were related to maxillofacial fracture occurred in 28.2%.

The population were increased by industrialization and urbanization of the modern society and social activities of the person were rapid increased too. Subsequently the number of motor vehicle accident, sports accident and industrial accident were increased, resulting in the number of oral and maxillofacial trauma were increased. Because of the mandible relatively protruded among the facial bone, the most frequent associated oral and maxillofacial injuries was mandible fracture in the trauma center setting. A clinical study on 411 patients with mandibular fracture who visited in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Chun-chon Sacred Heart Hospital during 10 years(1997-2006) was done by analysing sex, age, mode, fracture site and treatment method

Purpose: Rollover motor vehicle crashes have a higher injury severity and fatality than other motor vehicle crash types. From a left-quarter turn rollover accident of 25-passenger bus, we intend to assess the injury of the occupant and the injury severities according to the occupants' position. Methods: We carried out the 3 steps investigation of occupants' interview, visiting the repair shop and using the police report. We analyzed injuries sustained by occupants, and compared injury severities considering column, row in occupant's position and passenger interaction Results: The rollover involved 14 passengers in the bus who were all old women except a man driver. The most common injury was in the upper extremity, with six occurrences being a left clavicle fracture. Major injuries including hemothorax and pneumothorax were diagnosed at left side of the occupant. In the comparison of injury severity among driver's column (left side), mid column and passengercolumn, ISS of passenger column was the highest ($9.9{\pm}7.4$, $8.8{\pm}5.5$, and $10.3{\pm}4.0$, respectively, p>0.05). The injury severity of multiple occupants by row was higher than that of single occupant (10.8 vs. 3, p<0.05). Conclusion: An occupant must fasten their seat belt to prevent an injury by passenger interaction in the left-quarter turn rollover accident of a bus.

Purpose: We presented with a patient with traumatic brain injury who showed a transcallosal ipsilateral motor pathway from unaffected motor cortex to affected extremities, as evaluated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). Methods: One patient and six age-matched normal subjects were enrolled. A 42-year-old left hemiparetic male who suffered from brain injury by motor vehicle accident 9 years ago showed a leukomalactic lesion in the right corona radiata and parieto-temporal lobe. His left extremities were completely paralyzed initially, but recovered slowly over 2 years. At the time of the evaluation, he was able to grasp and release an object, and to walk with spastic gait pattern. DTT was performed using 1.5 T with a Synergy-L Sensitivity Encoding head coil. DTT was obtained with termination criteria of FA <0.2 and an angle change > $45^{\circ}c$. Results: The motor tracts of the unaffected (left) hemisphere of the patient and control subjects originated from the motor cortex and descended along the known corticospinal tract without any transcallosal tract. By contrast, the tract of the affected (right) hemisphere originated from the left premotor cortex, descended through the left corona radiata, and then crossed the mid-portion of the corpus callosum. The tract then descended through the known corticospinal tract pathway to the right medulla. Conclusion: We conclude that the transcallosal ipsilateral motor pathway from the unaffected hemisphere appeared to contribute to the motor recovery in this patient.

It has been only a few years since drones have been introduced to Korea, and as the use of drones has increased in industrial sites as well as in hobby activities, accidents such as workers' body parts coming into contact with rotating propellers have been occurring since 2016. Industrial accident cases are being filed. In the case of a remote control vehicle, if you release the remote controller in the event of an abnormal situation, it stops in place and no further danger occurs but in case of drones flying over the sky is different. Sudden motor stops during flight, uncontrolled changes in flight posture, loss of radio waves, loose propeller, etc, numerous factors can lead to accidents due to unintentional movements. Therefore, drone operators need safety knowledge as well as high knowledge about drones. However, drones with a weight of less than 12 kg can fly without a pilot's certification, and therefore, a minimum accident prevention measure is required. 10 accidents approved as industrial accidents since 2016, 23 accidents surveyed by general drone operator, 40 accidents surveyed by the Korean Consumer Resources Unfortunately for the purpose of writing this paper, drones are a new species and do not have many parameters for analysis but my experience has shown that the type of disaster does not deviate significantly. In addition, there is no paper that analyzes drone related industrial accidents not only in Korea but also in other countries. However, even if you watch an overseas drone accident video through YouTube, it is not much different from the case that occurs in Korea. I hope that this study will be of little help to all the drone pilots as well as the work safety of industrial drones used in industrial sites.

대형 화물자동차의 사고는 일반적인 사고와 달리 심각한 인명피해 등을 동반할 확률이 높다. 장거리 운행이 많은 화물자동차 운전특징으로 인해 운전자의 피로 및 피로로 인한 사고가 높다. 이러한 피로와 관련된 사고를 감소시키기 위해서 외국에서는 운전자의 피로에 영향을 주는 중요변수인 운전시간, 수면시간, 운행형태 등을 고려하여 운전자의 운행시간(Hour-of-Service:HOS)을 법으로 규정하고 있다. 운송업체 또한 운전자들의 사고를 감소시키기 위해 법정 운전자 근무시간 준수를 위해 노력하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 우리나라는 화물자동차 운전자의 피로와 관련 사고율을 줄일 수 있는 기초적인 법정 운전자 운행시간 조차 제시되지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 화물자동차 사고사망자수를 감소시킬 수 있는 운전자의 근로기준법 제정 필요성을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해서 현재 운영 중인 선진외국의 화물자동차 운전자 운전시간 및 운행규정을 살펴보고 실증적 자료를 통해 운전시간에 따른 사고 위험도의 차이를 살펴보았다. 실증적 자료는 미국의 화물자동차 3곳의 사고 자료 231명의 운행일지와 사고가 나지 않은 자료 462명의 운행일지를 수집, 총 693명 운전자의 운행일지를 수집하였다. 운전자의 연속된 운행에 대한 특징을 반영할 수 있도록 time-dependent 로지스틱 회귀모형을 사용하였다. 분석결ㄹ과 운행시간 1시간부터 3시간까지 운전한 운전자 사고위험도 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 운행시간이 10시간인 운전자는 운행시간 1시간인 운전자보다 사고위험도가 약 2.2배 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 결론적으로 운행시간이 증가할수록 사고위험도 또한 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 본 연구는 우리나라의 지역적 특성과 운전자 특성에 맞는 운전자 운전시간 설정을 위한 연구방향 및 향후 연구과제에 대하여 연급하였다.
