해양관측카메라 Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager (OSMI)를 탑재한 다목적 실용위성(KOMPSAT) 1호기가 1999년 12월 21일 발사되었다. OSMI는 유연한 임무 수행을 위해 궤도운영중에 관측파장대역 선택과 응답 이득 조정이 가능하도록 설계되었다. 또한 OSMI는 기기 노화 등에 따른 성능 변화 감지 및 보정을 위해 태양광 보정을 궤도운영중 수행한다. 여러 이득 단계에 대해 발사후 복사 응답 특성을 기기 보정 측면에서 연구하였다. 발사전 실험실 성능 측정 결과에 근거하여 발사후 초기 운영 단계에서 측정한 태양광 보정 자료의 선형 curve fitting을 통해 발사후 복사 응답 특성을 분석하였다. 이 분석은 OSMI 기기 보정 및 영상 품질 이해에 유용할 것이다.

도시철도라 함은 도시교통의 원활한 소통을 위하여 도시교통권역에서 건설·운영하는 철도ㆍ모노레일 등 궤도에 의한 교통시설 및 교통수단을 말한다. 지금까지 차량성능시험은 제작사와 운영체가 자체적으로 시행해 왔으나 신조 제작차량의 잦은 고장과 사고발생으로 인하여 교통불편을 초래하고 있어, 국가에서는 국민의 생명보호와 안전사고예방을 위하여 제도적으로 차량이 영업운행 전에 성능시험을 거치도록 한 것이다. 이에 도시철도차량성능시험에 대해서 간략히 설명하며, 관련 규정을 소개한다.(중략)

This paper introduces an asynchronous multiple radar fusion algorithm for space object tracking. To estimate orbital motion of space object, a multiple radar scenario which jointly measures single object with different sampling time indices is described. STK/ODTK is utilized to determine realization of orbital motion and joint coverage of multiple radars. Then, asynchronous fusion algorithm is adapted to enhance the estimation performance of orbital motion during which multiple radars measure the same time instances. Monte-Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the proposed asynchronous multi-sensor fusion scheme better than single linearized Kalman filter in an aspect of root mean square error.

Recently the more stable roadbed is required due to the high speed and design load. Therefore the reinforced roadbed was introduced as the solution. But the thickness and stiffness of reinforced roadbed in design code is being conservatively assessed by the foreign code without considering the domestic construction condition. In this paper, adequate Young's modulus, drain capacity, freezing depth, economical efficiency, bearing capacity, construction condition and 3-D finite element method were employed to determine the proper thickness of reinforced roadbed at the embankment section.

Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite(COMS) for the hybrid mission of meteorological observation, ocean monitoring, and telecommunication service is planned to be launched onto Geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) in 2008 according to the korea national space program, For the development of the meteorological payload of COMS, imager, the characteristics of Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) for GEO meteorological imager is investigated and the theoretical MTF limit is analyzed for each spectral channel of the imager in the both cases of a currently operating GEO instrument technology and an advanced GEO instrument technology under development. This study shows that MTF value can be considerably low in the infrared channels with longer wavelength than 10㎛ due to diffraction effect so that the MTF performance of long wavelength infrared channels should be paid attention to for the development of the imager.

The rubber pads era tank which undergo dynamic deformations with the sufficient amplitudes and frequencies lead to a considerable internal temperature rise due to the heat generation. The heat generation which is dependent on the viscoelastic characteristics or a rubber is due to the conversion of partial mechanical energy into thermal energy identical to the area oi hysteresis loop. Heat generation without adequate heat dissipation leads to heat build-up and the excessive temperature rite exerts a bad influence upon the performance and the life of rubber products. In this paper, temperature distributions of the rubber pads of a tank track subjected to dynamic loads are obtained under the assumption of the steady state. Heat generation rates used in this finite element analysis are acquired through experiments and the computed temperature fields are displayed in isothermal contour regions.

Traditionally, the track circuits have been used for the purpose of train locating. However, the recent train control systems like a CBTC(Communications Based Train Control) do not utilize the track circuits to minimize the amount of ground signal devices. Therefore, there are increasing concerns over the system that can locate the position of train exactly without using the track circuits. Then, the contactless locating methods are added to ensure safety when the shunting sensitivity of the track circuit becomes low for the existing sections equipped with the track circuits. In this paper, a prototype of train locating device has been designed and tested, which utilizes the current phase difference upon magnetic field variation. The results show improved features of this method over the conventional track circuits method.

Tracked robots usually have poor localization performance because of slippage of their tracks. This study proposes a new localization method for tracked robots that uses fuzzy fusion of stereo-camera-based visual odometry and encoder-based wheel odometry. Visual odometry can be inaccurate when an insufficient number of visual features are available, while the encoder is prone to accumulating errors when large slips occur. To combine these two methods, the weight of each method was controlled by a fuzzy decision depending on the surrounding environment. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme improved the localization performance of a tracked robot.

The altitudes of GEO satellites are higher than those of GPS satellites. Therefore the visibility and the received power of GPS signals are totally different from those of the users near the Earth's surface. In this study, we analyzed the visibility of GPS signals received on GEO satellites. And we also developed a software GPS receiver that works on GEO satellites using CCMDB algorithm which is a weak signal receiver algorithm. GPS signals received on a GEO satellite are generated by a commercial hardware GPS simulator and used for the verification of the developed software GPS receiver. The mean 3D position and velocity error are calculated as 165.636 m and 0.5081 m/s.

Ride comfort of a vehicle can be utilized to maintain the track geometry and track irregularities because ride comfort of the rolling stock is affected by the characteristics of the vehicle and track. Ride comfort was evaluated according to the measured floor acceleration data of vehicles for a Korean high speed line as well as European high speed lines using Continuous comfort method which can be applied to track maintenance. The exceedance distribution of the ride comfort was quantitatively analyzed by the vehicle speed, the ride comfort of the Korean high speed line was compared with that of European high speed lines. It is shown that the ride comfort of Korean high speed line is better than that of European high speed lines, which indicates that the Korean track geometry and track irregularities are properly maintained.
