This paper presents a unified control algorithm of independent braking and steering for collision avoidance. The desired motion of the vehicle in the yaw plane is determined using the probabilistic risk assessment method based on target state estimation. For the purpose of coordinating the independent braking and steering, a non-linear vehicle model has been developed, which describes the vehicle dynamics in the yaw plane in both linear and extended non-linear ranges of handling. A control allocation algorithm determines the control inputs that minimize the difference between the desired and actual vehicle motions, while satisfying all actuator constraints. The performance of the proposed control algorithm has been investigated via computer simulations conducted using the vehicle dynamics software CARSIM and Matlab/Simulink.

This paper describes the development of Data Acquisition System (DAS) to obtain the vessel and weather information needing to evaluate collision risks levels between Mokpo harbor bridge and passing vessels. DAS consists of Signal Receiving and Processing Unit to obtain the data sets of passing vessels and weather status, Networking Unit to transmit and distribute the acquisition data sets and Data Management Unit. Through the field tests on the deck of shuttle car ferry between Mokpo Port Passenger Terminal and An-Jua island, Sinan-Gun, we found that the DAS can provide useful data sets for adequate the collision risk evaluation. In addition, the noise-like data sets appeared in the weather data can be suppressed fully using 5-th order Butterworth digital filter.

This research wished to risk type and examine closely driver special quality and relation of traffic accidents by occurrence type of traffic accidents and traffic accidents seriousness examine closely relation with Severity. Fractionate traffic accidents type by eight, and driver's special quality for risk group's classification did to distinction of sex, vehicle type, age etc. analyzed relation with injury degree adding belt used putting on availability for security the objectivity with wave. Used log-Linear model and Logit model for analysis of category data. A head-on collision and overtaking accident, right-turn accident are high injury or death accident and possibility to associate in relation with accident type and seriousness degree. In risk group analysis The age less than 20 years in motor-cycle driver, taxi driver in 41 years to 50 years old are very dangerous. The woman also was construed to the more risk group than man from when related to car, mini-bus, goods vehicle etc. Therefore, traffic safety education and Enforcement for risk group that way that can reduce accident that produce to reduce a loss of lives at traffic accidents appearance a head-on collision and overtaking accidents, right-turn accidents should be studied and as traffic accidents weakness class may have to be solidified.

Accidents between ships occur frequently at the traffic congestion area. Once a maritime accidents occur, it is likely to end up with critical damaged accidents. This paper develop a simulator for assessing quantitative risk based on statical maritime traffic data and realtime traffic distribution. Ship's passage risk assessment simulator consist of import of division of passage data, traffic distribution analysis and passage risk assessment analysis. Maritime traffic data of WANDO waterway apply to simulator for calculation of quantitative risk rate of waterway.

Approximately 4,000 vessels including sea trial ships per day are passing, entering or departing from Korea coastal waterway. Sea trial ships have erratic navigating patterns such as quick turning, crash stop and do not communicate with other vessels in appropriate time, so sea trial ships are often to expose dangerous situation such as collision in heavy traffic area. To identify the sea trial vessel's risk factors, this paper surveyed marine traffic volumes for 7 days in Korea harbour & coastal waterway, and it analyzed marine accident rate and intended to identify the risk degree of passing vessels. After that, this researched how many sea trial ship's traffic and what is the sea trial risk among sea trial items. We also conducted survey questionnaire and identified risk factors of sea trial ship. So this paper aimed to enhance the safety of korea coastal waterway to prevent sea trial ship's marine accident.

To establish the national railway safety system, the railway total safety technology development project has been promoted by Ministry of Construction and Transportation (MOCT) since August 2004. The project has producted successful results in many areas of railway safety, however, it is required that the research field should be re-examined to meet the aim of the project. To do that, the precedence of the investment of research resources should be reviewed and determined. The risk of serious railway accidents such as train collision, derailment and level crossing accidents are estimated. From the estimation result and the statistics on the railway accidents over fast few years, the risk factors of railway accidents can be calculated.

전체 충돌사고 중 어선과 관련된 충돌사고가 약 80퍼센트를 차지하고 있다. 어선사고의 잠재적 위험요소를 찾기 위해 본 연구에서는 완도 VTS 관제구역 내 통항하는 어선의 항해특성 및 패턴을 분석함으로써 어선 비어선간 발생할 수 있는 충돌사고의 위험해역 및 Near Collision을 분석하고자 한다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 관제사의 의사결정을 지원함으로써 해상교통관제서비스 향상과 해양 사고 예방에 기여하고자 한다.

In ports of Korea, the marine traffic flow is congested due to a large number of vessels coming in and going out. In order to improve the safety and efficiency of these vesse's movement, South Korea is operating with a Vessel Traffic System, which is monitoring its flow 24-7. However despite these efforts of the VTS (Vessel Traffic System) officers, marine accidents are occurring continuously in their control area. VTS Officers are controlling subjectively based on their experience due to no VTS control guideline of dangerous situation among vessels. On this paper, we listened to Busan VHF channel for 3days and analyzed the message. With collision risk model, We analyzed a moment of risk which officers advise or recommend to vessel in encounter situation, VTSO's career, and day&night.

충돌회피 시스템은 선박의 안전 항해에 중요한 역할을 한다. 충돌회피 시스템은 선박이 장애물을 만났을 때 영역전문가인 항해사를 대신하여 피항 행위를 하도륵 지시하는 시스템으로 자선에서 이루어지는 해상 장애물들에 대한 피항 시 그 판단 기준을 각 장애물에 대한 충돌위험도에 둔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선박의 충돌회피 시스템의 보다 안전한 충돌회피를 도모하기 위해 충돌회피를 위한 충돌위험도 결정 시스템을 제안한다. 충돌위험도 결정 시스템은 장애물 모델링과 장애물의 충돌위험도 결정의 두 부분으로 구성된다. 장애물 모델링은 선박의 센서에서 나오는 저수준의 자료를 지능형 선박의 타 시스템에서 이용하기 쉽도록 구하는 과정이다. 충돌위험도 결정 시스템의 출력으로 산출되는 충돌위험도는 충돌회피 시스템의 피항 행위 결정에 정보로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 DCPA와 TCPA를 이용한 기존의 기법에 VCD의 개념을 추가한 새로운 충돌위험도 결정 기법을 제안한다. 입력변수가 되는 DCPA, TCPA, VCD의 퍼지 소속함수를 산출하고 이를 기반으로 퍼지 추론을 이용하여 세부적인 충돌위험도를 결정한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 기법은 기존의 DCPA와 TCPA만으로 충돌위험도를 결정한 경우보다 상세한 충돌위험도 결정이 가능하다는 장점과 국제해상충돌예방규칙의 내용이 적용되었다는 장점을 지닌다. 제안된 기법은 DCPA와 TCPA 만으로 충돌위험도를 결정한 기법과 비교.평가하여 성능을 검증한다.

There are enormous challenges in the Istanbul Strait- one of the most important, congested and narrow waterways in the world - from the view point of risk determination and risk mitigation for the local traffic. Previously several traffic parameters such as; traffic volume for local vessels, traffic flow and potential encounters of local traffic, in addition to the possibility of collision, were investigated in order to determine the degree of dangers in the southern entrance of the Istanbul Strait. Furthermore, risky zones were also determined in this waterway. On the basis of the results of those, a group of expert was surveyed. These experts were pilots, Vessel Traffic Services Operators (VTS-O), Local Traffic Vessel Captains and Master Mariners who had several experience of navigation through the Istanbul Strait. In order to assess experts perceptions of danger and to propose further studies based on this survey. The questionnaire was analyzed by using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) program version 13.0. Finally, some differences and/or shares on risk perceptions of expert in the Istanbul Strait are considered.
