우주파편은 1957년 인류가 우주에 위성을 보내기 시작하면서 그 숫자가 급격하게 증가하고 있으며, 현재 미합동우주전략사령부(JSpOC, Joint Space Operations Center)에 의하면 지름 10cm 이상의 우주파편이 22,000개 이상이라고 알려지고 있다. 최근에는 중국이 자국의 위성을 미사일로 요격시킨 사건과 Iridium 33 및 Cosmos 2251 위성이 우주상공에서 서로 충돌한 사건이 발생함에 따라 아리랑 2호가 운영 중인 저궤도의 우주환경이 급격히 악화되고 있다. 미합동우주전략사령부는 15,000개 이상의 우주파편의 궤도정보를 이용하여 운영위성과의 충돌분석을 수행하고 있으며, 충돌 위험이 발생할 경우 해당 위성의 운영자에게 CSM(Conjunction Summary Message)이란 형식의 메시지를 제공하여 충돌분석 시 활용할 수 있도록 지원하고 있다. 본 논문은 JSpOC에서 제공하는 CSM의 아리랑2호 궤도데이터와 항우연이 관리하는 아리랑 2호의 정밀궤도 데이터와 비교하였으며, 아리랑 2호와 우주파편과의 충돌분석 결과를 도시하였다.

The railway human reliability analysis(R-HRA) plays a role of identifying and assessing human failure events in the framework of the probabilistic risk assessment(PRA) of the railway systems. This study introduces a case study that was performed to select an appropriate R-HRA method. Three HRA methods were considered in the case study: (1) the K-MRA(THERP/ASEP-based) method, (2) the HEART method, (3) the RSSB-HRA method. Two case events were selected based on the review of the railway incidents/accidents, which include (1) a real-end collision event, which occurred on the railway between the Gomo and Kyungsan stations in 2003, (2) the signal passed at danger(SPAD) events, which are caused from a variety of factors. The three HRA methods were applied to both case events, and then the strengths and limitations of each method were derived and compared with each other from the viewpoint of the applicability of a HRA method to the railway industry.

This study investigates a new optimal placement method for viscous dampers between structures in order to prevent pounding of adjacent structures with different dynamic characteristics under earthquake effects. A relative displacement spectrum is developed in two single degree of freedom system to reveal the critical period ratios for the most risky scenario of collision using El Centro earthquake record (NS). Three different types of viscous damper design, which are classical, stair and X-diagonal model, are considered to prevent pounding on two adjacent building models. The objective function is minimized under the upper and lower limits of the damping coefficient of the damper and a target modal damping ratio. A new algorithm including time history analyses and numerical optimization methods is proposed to find the optimal dampers placement. The proposed design method is tested on two 12-storey adjacent building models. The effects of the type of damper placement on structural models, the critical period ratios of adjacent structures, the permissible relative displacement limit, the mode behavior and the upper limit of damper are investigated in detail. The results of the analyzes show that the proposed method can be used as an effective means of finding the optimum amount and location of the dampers and eliminating the risk of pounding.

The work presented in this paper deals with a navigation problem for multiple mobile robot system in unknown indoor environments. The environment is completely unknown for all the robots and the surrounding information should be detected by the proximity sensors installed on the robots' bodies. In order to guide all the robots to move along collision-free paths and reach the goal positions, a navigation method based on the combination of a set of primary strategies has been developed. The indoor environments usually contain convex and concave obstacles. In this work, a danger judgment strategy in accordance with the sensors' data is used for avoiding small convex obstacles or moving objects which include both dynamic obstacles and other robots. For big convex obstacles or concave ones, a wall following strategy is designed for dealing with these special situations. In this paper, a state memorizing strategy is also proposed for the "infinite repetition" or "dead cycle" situations. Finally, when there is no collision risk, the robots will be guided towards the targets according to a target positioning strategy. Most of these strategies are achieved by the means of fuzzy logic controllers and uniformly applied for every robot. The simulation experiments verified that the proposed method has a positive effectiveness for the navigation problem.

The cooling module needs enough space (or distance) from hood to absorb the energy from any pedestrian collision. Downsized cooling module for pedestrian protection is important to reduce the severity of pedestrian injury. When a vehicle collision happens, the downsized cooling module is required to reduce the risk of injury to the upper legs of adults and the heads of children. In this study, the performance of cooling module to cool the engine was investigated under 25% height reduction. The heat dissipation and pressure drop characteristics have been experimentally studied with the variation of coolant flow rate, air inlet velocity and A/C operation ON/OFF for the downsized cooling module. The results indicated that the cooling performance was about 94% level compared to that of the conventional cooling module. Therefore, we checked that the cooling module had good performance, and expected that the cooling module could meet the same cooling performance as conventional cooling module through optimization of components efficiency.

본 논문에서 저자들은 혼잡도의 관점에서 해상 교통 환경에 대한 평가를 시도하였다. 이를 위해서 우선 평가를 위한 정보를 얻기 위하여 해상 교통류에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이 시뮬레이션은 해상 교통 환경에 대한 광범위한 자료 조사를 바탕으로 하며 통계적인 방법들을 이용하여 이 조사 자료들을 시뮬레이션에 반영하였다. 다음으로 충돌 회피 시스템 개발을 위하여 제안된 충돌 위험도 추론 방법들을 이용하여 혼잡도 정의와 추론을 시도하였다. 이와 같이 정량화된 혼잡도는 해상 교통 환경의 설계 및 개선에 유용한 많은 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objects adrift can cause considerable damage to coastal infrastructure and property during tsunami and storm surge events. Despite the potential for harm, the drifting behavior of these objects remains poorly understood, thereby hindering effective prediction and mitigation of collision damage. To address this gap, this study employed a motion analysis program to track a drifting container's location using images from an existing laboratory experiment. The container's trajectory and velocity were calculated based on the positions of five markers strategically placed at its four corners and center. Our findings indicate that the container's maximum drift velocity and distance are directly influenced by the scale of the solitary wave and inversely related to the container's weight. Specifically, heavier containers are less likely to be displaced by solitary waves, while larger waves can damage coastal structures more. This study offers new insights into container drift behavior induced by solitary waves, with implications for enhancing coastal infrastructure design and devising mitigation strategies to minimize the risk of collision damage.

This paper proposes a stereo vision-based forward obstacle detection and distance measurement method. In general, stereo vision-based obstacle detection methods in automotive applications can be classified into two categories: IPM (Inverse Perspective Mapping)-based and disparity histogram-based. The existing disparity histogram-based method was developed for stop-and-go applications. The proposed method extends the scope of the disparity histogram-based method to highway applications by 1) replacing the fixed rectangular ROI (Region Of Interest) with the traveling lane-based ROI, and 2) replacing the peak detection with a constant threshold with peak detection using the threshold-line and peakness evaluation. In order to increase the true positive rate while decreasing the false positive rate, multiple candidate peaks were generated and then verified by the edge feature correlation method. By testing the proposed method with images captured on the highway, it was shown that the proposed method was able to overcome problems in previous implementations while being applied successfully to highway collision warning/avoidance conditions, In addition, comparisons with laser radar showed that vision sensors with a wider FOV (Field Of View) provided faster responses to cutting-in vehicles. Finally, we integrated the proposed method into a longitudinal collision avoidance system. Experimental results showed that activated braking by risk assessment using the state of the ego-vehicle and measuring the distance to upcoming obstacles could successfully prevent collisions.

자율주행의 핵심기술인 첨단 운전자 지원 시스템(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) 중 대표기술인 전방충돌경보(Forward Collision Warning)를 대상기술로 선정하여, 주행시뮬레이션 실험 기반의 교통사고 예방효과를 추정하였다. 효과척도로 ①인지반응시간(s) ②감속도(m/s2) ③충돌여부(회)로 선정하여, 전방충돌경보 미설치시와 설치시의 변화량 측정하였다. 실험 시나리오는 운전자 전방의 차량의 급정거하는 시나리오(1)과 옆차로에서 차량이 끼어드는 시나리오(2)를 진행하였으며, 주간/야간으로 구분하였다. 분석결과, 전방충돌경보장치를 설치하였을 경우, 인지반응시간(s)이 감소하였으며, 감속도(m/s2)는 감소하였다. 운전자의 위험상황을 빠르게 감지하여 여유로운 감속을 할 수 있게 되었으며, 그에 따른 전방충돌횟수도 감소한 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 운전자의 운전성향을 반영하고 실험 시나리오를 다양화하면, ADAS의 설치효과를 증대시키고 다른 기술의 효과추정에도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
