To improve the ability to determine a vehicle's movement information even in a challenging environment, a hybrid approach called non-Gaussian square rootunscented particle filtering (nGSR-UPF) is presented. This approach combines a square root-unscented Kalman filter (SR-UKF) and a particle filter (PF) to determinate the vehicle state where measurement noises are taken as a finite Gaussian kernel mixture and are approximated using a sparse Gaussian kernel density estimation method. During an outage-free GPS period, the updated mean and covariance, computed using SR-UKF, are estimated based on a GPS observation update. During a complete GPS outage, nGSR-UPF operates in prediction mode. Indeed, because the inertial sensors used suffer from a large drift in this case, SR-UKF-based importance density is then responsible for shifting the weighted particles toward the high-likelihood regions to improve the accuracy of the vehicle state. The proposed method is compared with some existing estimation methods and the experiment results prove that nGSR-UPF is the most accurate during both outage-free and complete-outage GPS periods.

In this paper, the pseudorange-based GPS performance using the Android's raw measurements is compared with NMEA. In order to compare the performance between the two different implementations, we used Nexus 9 tablets and collected the raw measurements and NMEA data using the GNSS logger application provided by Google. To verify the performance of the final coordinates calculated, the VRS was used as the reference coordinate and compared with the NMEA results. The resulting horizontal, vertical, and 3D RMS errors of the pseudorange-based GPS using the Android's raw measurements are 3.05, 3.82, and 4.97 m, respectively, which correspond to 32% horizontal, 65% vertical and 49% 3D performance improvement compared with NMEA.

With the increased attention about health care and management of heart diseases, ubiquitous healthcare services and related devices have been actively developed recently. In this paper we developed a mobile healthcare system which consists of smartphone and patch-type ECG measuring device. This system is capable of monitoring, storing, and sending bio signals such as ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability as well as exercise management functions through heart rate zones. With monitoring bio signal continuously by mobile healthcare system and wearable device like us, people can prevent chronic disease and maintain good health. Here we report our implementation results on real platforms.

최근까지의 교통사고 통계에 따르면 주간 보다는 야간에 더 많은 사고가 발생하며, 사고 원인 중 하나는 부적절한 조명 시설로 인한 시야 미확보, 눈의 피로감 증가가 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰 기반으로 야간 도로 밝기 측정 어플리케이션을 구현하여 야간에 부적절한 조명 시설이 설치된 지점을 파악하기 위해서 위치 정보와 밝기 정보, 이동 방향 정보를 실시간으로 데이터베이스에 저장하여 모니터링해주는 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 이를 위해, 안드로이드 NDK을 이용하여 Native 환경에서 차선 검출 및 RGB 색 공간의 값을 휘도 값으로 변환 알고리즘을 작성하였다. 또한 스마트폰의 카메라를 이용하여 실시간으로 도로 영상을 입력 받은 후 ROI 설정 하여 연산 속도를 향상시켰고, 차선 검출을 통해 차선 사이의 도로 밝기 정보를 획득하고 GPS 센서를 이용하여 이동 방향 정보와 위치 정보를 획득하여 데이터베이스에 저장하였다. 어플리케이션 사용자들의 주행 정보를 바탕으로 도로 밝기 값 데이터베이스를 활용하여 눈부심 및 조명관련 사고 위험 구간을 자동으로 알려주는 후속 연구를 진행할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to propose a smart work environment management service model that can measure and maintain work environments in real time. Methods: How existing private consignment business is being carried out was identified and a simpler method was applied to the model. Results: Common support was provided according to the Korea Standard Industrial Classification. Hazards suitable for the relevant industry classification were selected and information on safety and health education, etc. was provided. Theme-specific support provides services focusing on hazards that can be measured through applications. Hazards are evaluated by applying new standards divided into 'Good', 'Average', 'Inadequate', and 'Faulty'. Conclusions: This model is designed to help employers identify health and safety conditions in small businesses where it is difficult to hire health and safety professionals. Using the app proposed in this study, anyone can easily measure their work environment at any time.

Recently, due to rapid climate change, the population of honey bees has decreased, posing a great threat to the existence of the Earth's ecosystem. In particular, the colony collapse phenomenon in which bees disappeared nationwide in early 2022 had devastating consequences for beekeepers. In order to solve the problems of beekeeping due to climate change, it is urgent to develop a system that can monitor the situation inside the hive through various IoT sensors. This paper develops a system that can measure the activity of bees inside the hive and uses it to measure the number of times of entry and exit of the hive. The data measured by the developed system can be monitored in real time on a smartphone through the cloud server. The system developed in this paper can monitor the ecology of bees according to climate change and measure internal and external bee activities. Using this method, it is possible to check in advance for the colony collapse phenomenon in which bees disappeared in early 2022. This is very meaningful in that it presents an alternative that can identify the cause of the problem through early detection.

For an earthquake-safe urban environment, the Republic of Korea conducts seismic performance evaluation in accordance with laws and guidelines to assign safety ratings and implement necessary management measures such as repairs and reinforcements. In the seismic performance evaluation result, structures lacking in preparation for earthquakes are prioritized and classified into measures such as repair, reinforcement, or careful observation to respond to physical risks such as earthquakes. Such repair and reinforcement work is not a one-time thing, but it is necessary to further enhance the effect through continuous follow-up observation. In this study, the location of the vertical and horizontal displacement measuring part of the construction part is displayed so that the post-construction status of the reinforcement construction part can be visually checked by identifying the problems in the process of post-monitoring in 2022 for the maintenance and reinforcement work of local governments' public facilities carried out in 2021. We propose a plan to institutionalize the installation of, inspection tools, and crack gauges at certain locations in the construction department, and to have facility managers periodically inspect and manage them with a smartphone program or the 'Facility Autonomous Safety Inspection' app.

Throughout the 20th century, the transition of pig farms from extensive to intensive commercial operations amplified the risk of disease transmission, particularly involving African swine fever (ASF). Real-time temperature monitoring systems have emerged as essential tools for early ASF diagnosis. In this paper, we introduce new real-time temperature monitoring ear tags (RTMEs) modeled after existing ear tag designs. Our crafted Pig-Temp platforms have three primary advantages. First, they can be effortlessly attached to pig ears, ensuring superior compatibility. Second, they enable real-time temperature detection, and the data can be displayed on a personal computer or smartphone application. Furthermore, they demonstrate excellent measurement accuracy, ranging from 98.9% to 99.8% at temperatures between 2.2 and 360℃. A linear regression approach enables fever symptoms associated with ASF to be identified within 3 min using RTMEs. The communication range extends to approximately 12 m (452 m²), enabling measurements from an estimated 75 to 2,260 pigs per gateway. These newly developed Pig-Temp platforms offer singifcant enhancement of early ASF detection.
