Personal mobility (PM) can increase the mobility of individual, so that the elderly can be set as the target group for using PM because of relatively low walking ability to normal. In this study, we design PM device for elderly that can be used safely in the walking environment such as sidewalk. There are various obstacles in the walking environment, so the device must have mechanical performance to overcome all of them. In this study, we survey the status and level of obstacle factors in walking environment to determine the dynamic performance of the PM device for elderly. We check up several guidelines about walking facilities to define obstacle points for the device, establish field survey methodologies, and conduct field survey for some specific road sections. Based on the survey results, we confirm the possible problems that could arise when the dynamic performance of the device is selected based on the facility-related criteria. We also define the performance requirements for the device based on the requirements for electric wheelchair.

In this paper, a mechanism of an omni-directional personal mobility which can drive diagonally is proposed. Mobility is a prerequisite involved in basic human life and activities. Personal mobility vehicle is a new mobility method which overcome the limits of automobiles. However, personal mobilities with four wheeled structure still have limitations. The proposed personal mobility vehicle can overcome the limitations of mobility because its rear wheels can be steered omni-directionally. In addition, the handicapped can drive it through a narrow road such as an alleyway or corridor and avoid obstacles on the traveling route. The proposed mechanism of personal mobility and the steering performance are tested by experiments, and the feasibility of diagonal driving is verified.

외발자전거는 서커스 곡예의 소재로 사용될 정도로 일반인이 타기 어렵다. 하지만, 구조가 단순하고 부피가 작고 가벼워 개인용 이동 수단으로 장점이 많다. 바퀴가 하나이므로 자유도가 높아서 좁거나 곡선반지름이 작은 길에서도 유리하다. 최근 전기자전거뿐만 아니라 전동보드, 전동휠 등 다양한 형태의 전력 구동형 개인 이동 수단들이 많이 등장하고 이용되고 있는데 스스로 균형을 유지하여 안전하고 쉽게 탈 수 있는 외발 전동차를 개발을 위해 인공지능 강화학습을 적용한 자동제어장치를 시뮬레이션을 통해 구현하고자 한다.

최근 들어 차량은 단순히 이동을 위한 수단에서 벗어나 정보통신 기술과 융합되면서 콘텐츠를 소비하는 공간의 성격을 가져가고 있다. 자동차도 하나의 컴퓨터처럼 기능하게 되면서 차량 인포테인먼트의 역할이 차량 사용 경험에 중요한 요소로 자리 잡게 되었다. 그러나 교통수단이라는 특수한 환경임에도 불구하고 다른 환경에서 콘텐츠를 제공하는 형식과 차별화 없이 차량용 디스플레이에 맞춰 UI만 변경된 형태로 서비스가 제공되는 모습을 발견할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 문헌 조사 및 사용자 인터뷰를 통해 현재 차량 인포테인먼트 사용 행태와 보완점을 발견하여 개선 방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 사용자들이 차량 내에서 각기 다른 이용 패턴을 반복해서 실행하는 과정에서 인포테인먼트의 개인화 서비스에 대한 니즈가 있음을 확인하였고, 개인화 서비스를 통해 맞춤형 정보를 제공함으로써 새로운 가치를 만들어 낼 수 있음을 제시하고자 하였다.

Recently, electric skateboards have been used as a means of personal transportation due to their convenience and simplicity of operation, but the conventional skateboards driven by timing belts or hub motors have disadvantages such as low driving torque, high current and vibration. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new type of electric skateboard that can run at high speeds for long periods of time so that it can be used as a auxiliary means of transportation. The planetary gear and motor unit are combined and installed inside one drive wheel, and power is supplied to the wheel through the integrated driving unit to prevent high currents and enable high-speed driving. First, the allowable current and running speed of the electric skateboard were set for efficient personal transportation and the appropriate reduction ratio, modules, and planetary gear dimensions were determined by comparing the torque required for the wheel axis and the maximum output torque of the motor. Additionally, an appropriate suspension device was added to reduce driving vibration for user convenience, and the feasibility of the proposed in-wheel gearbox was experimentally verified through fabrication.

As we face an aging society, the demand for personal mobility for disabled and aged people is increasing. In fact, as of 2017, the number of electric wheelchair in the country continues to increase to 90,000. However, people with disabilities and seniors are more likely to have accidents while driving, because their judgment and coordination are inferior to normal people. One of the causes of the accident is the interference of personal vehicle steering control due to unbalanced road surface conditions. In this paper, we introduce a encoder type semantic segmentation algorithm that can recognize road conditions at high speed to prevent such accidents. To this end, more than 1,500 training data and 150 test data including road surface damage were newly secured. With the data, we proposed a deep neural network composed of encoder stages, unlike the Auto-encoding type consisting of encoder and decoder stages. Compared to the conventional method, this deep neural network has a 4.45% increase in mean accuracy, a 59.2% decrease in parameters, and an 11.9% increase in computation speed. It is expected that safe personal transportation will be come soon by utilizing such high speed algorithm.

In recent years, urban regeneration is focused on smart and pedestrian oriented development utilizing various mobility technology. The characteristics of walkways needs to reflect such development orientations. This research is the first step to find an adequate slope for ramp replacing stairs and shared by pedestrians, personal mobilities and powered wheelchairs. It aims to check if ramps on a recommended degree of angle by general guidelines are more preferred than stairs and find out what make difference of such preferences. Two surveys were conducted at $9^{\circ}$ and $9.6^{\circ}$ ramps coexisted with stairs at sequential and parallel location. The study on the survey result found that the general evaluation of $9^{\circ}$ ramp was better than $9.6^{\circ}$ ramp but $9^{\circ}$ ramp was not preferred than stairs while $9.6^{\circ}$ ramps was preferred. The difference of preferences was related to characteristics of stairs. The stair with shorter tread and riser next to $9^{\circ}$ ramp was evaluated much better than stairs next to $9.6^{\circ}$ ramp. Therefore the research concludes that $10.0^{\circ}$ which many guidelines recommend for the maximum slop of a ramp was not adequate for a ramp to replace stairs as a preferred means of vertical circulation. In addition the research found that the preference was sensitive to moving direction and gender especially in regards to comfort of stairs and safety of ramp. Most pedestrians chose a means of vertical circulation based on its comfort but pedestrian's evaluation of safety was most different based on moving direction.

WiFi는 무선인터넷 접속(Wireless LAN) 방식의 하나로서 이동성, 설치용이성, 유연성 등으로 인하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 더욱이 기존 다양한 디지털 기기들이 WiFi 기반의 application을 탑재하여 각종 온라인 콘텐츠를 이용할 수 있게 하면서 점차 보편적인 인터넷 접속수단으로서 변모하고 있는 상황이다. WiFi의 편리성으로 인하여 기업, 공공기관, 교육기관 등에서 네트워크 구축에 WiFi를 사용하는데 그 추세가 개인부문에서 기업부문으로 확산되고 있다. 하지만 유선인터넷이 케이블이라는 매체를 통해 연결되어 외부와 차폐된데 비해 WiFi는 주파수를 매개로하기 때문에 네트워크 접근이 용이하며 이로인해 보안이 취약해 질 수 있다는 것이다. 이로 인하여 일명 워드라이빙(war driving)이라 불리는 서비스의 무단사용뿐만 아니라 악의를 가진 네트워크 침입이 가능해져 개인정보나 사유재산이 침해 가능성이 높다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 해외의 WiFi의 보안관련 법제도를 살펴보고 이로부터 국내 WiFi보안을 위한 대안을 제시하고자 한다.
