This paper is to verify the effectiveness of 'Hybrid Disaster Management Strategy' that integrates 'RTM(Real-time Monitoring) based On-line' and 'UAV based Off-line' system. For landslide prone area where sensors were installed, the conventional way of risk management so far has entirely relied on RTM data collected from the field through the instrumentation devices. But it's not enough due to the limitation of'Pin-point sensor'which tend to provide with only the localized information where sensors have stayed fixed. It lacks, therefore, the whole picture to be grasped. In this paper, utilizing 'Digital Photogrammetry Software Pix4D', the possibility of inference for the deformation of ungauged area has been reviewed. For this purpose, actual measurement data from RTM were compared with the estimated value from 3D point cloud outcome by UAV, and the consequent results has shown very accurate in terms of RMSE.

지구 온난화 등 기상이변으로 추정되는 단시간 동안 특정지역에 집중되는 국지성 집중호우가 빈번해지고 있으며, 내수침수가 홍수재해의 주된 원인이 되고 있다. 내수침수의 원인으로는 하수관로의 통수능력 부족(39%), 저지대 침수(37%), 내수배제불량(16%) 및 기타(8%)로 조사된 바 있으며, 이중 하수관로의 경우 용량 및 통수능 부족, 구배불량, 토사퇴적에 의한 배수 불량 등으로 이에 대처하기 위해서는 기초자료의 조사가 우선 되어야 한다. 하수관로의 문제로 인한 내수침수의 원인으로 첫째 하수관로 내·외부 불량으로 인한 통수능 저하로 측구 및 빗물받이에 토사 등 장애물, 관로내부 장애물, 관로내부 불량(뿌리침임, 영구장애물, 관붕괴, 관파손, 관변형, 내피생성, 토사퇴적 등)이 있으며, 두 번째로 하수관로 구배불량과 마지막으로 외수위(또는 해수위) 상승으로 인한 내수침수로 구분될 수 있다. 이러한 하수관로의 문제점은 많은 부분이 불탐지역으로 조사가 매우 어려워서 대안 없이 방치되는 실정이다. 금회 연구에서는 이러한 불탐지역의 조사를 위한 장비의 개발 및 정밀조사를 통해서 하수관로를 진단하고 내수침수 예방을 위한 대책을 찾고자 하였다. 특히, 계단부 관로조사용 내시경 VR장비, 준만관 조사용 부유식 VR장비, 가스 및 안전위험 지역 조사용 지하 드론 장비를 개발하여 시험검증을 하고자 하였다. 또한, 스마트 하수관로 체계에 빅데이터를 기반으로 한 하수관로 토탈 솔류션(nPASS) 시스템으로 내수침수대응 및 하수관로 유지관리를 위한 시스템의 필요성을 규명하고자 하였다. 하수관로의 선진화를 통한 내수침수예방의 시작은 불탐지역 하수관로 조사를 통한 정확한 원인 파악이며, 조사 및 축적되는 빅데이타를 기반으로 하수관로 토탈 유지관리 시스템의 구축을 제안하고자 하였다.

An image-reconstruction technology, involving the deployment of an unmanned mobility equipped with high-speed LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) has been proposed to reconstruct the shape of abandoned mine. Unmanned mobility operation is remarkably useful in abandoned mines fraught with operational difficulties including, but not limited to, obstacles, sludge, underwater and narrow tunnel with the diameter of 1.5 m or more. For cases of real abandoned mines, quadruped robots, quadcopter drones and underwater drones are respectively deployed on land, air, and water-filled sites. In addition to the advantage of scanning the abandoned mines with 2D solid-state lidar sensors, rotation of radiation at an inclination angle offers an increased efficiency for simultaneous reconstruction of mineshaft shapes and detecting obstacles. Sensor and robot posture were used for computing rotation matrices that helped compute geographical coordinates of the solid-state lidar data. Next, the quadruped robot scanned the actual site to reconstruct tunnel shape. Lastly, the optimal elements necessary to increase utility in actual fields were found and proposed.

The prosperity of IT technologies and the removal of restrictions regarding Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have driven growth in their popularity. However, without a proper solution to the problem of accident avoidance for UAVs, this popularity increases the potential for collisions between UAVs and between UAV and terrain features. These collisions can occur because UAVs to date have flown using radio control or image recognition based autonomous navigation. Therefore, we propose efficient UAV routing schemes to tackle the collision problem using vehicular communication systems. Performance evaluation by computer simulation shows that the proposed methods effectively reduce the collision probability and improve the routing efficiency of the UAV. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are compatible and can be directly applied with small overhead to the commercial vehicular communication system implementation.

With the introduction of video cameras into law enforcement, a great deal of police organizations have adopted the technology in their routine crime prevention activities. The up-to-date systems of ambient surveillance energized by CCTV, police wearable cameras, drones, and thermal imaging devices enable the police to thoroughly monitor public spaces as well as to rigorously arrest on-scene criminals. These efforts to improve the level of surveillance are often met with public resistance raising concerns over citizens' rights to privacy. Recent studies on the use of police video equipment have constantly raised the issues related to the lack of applicable legal provisions, risk of personal information and privacy infringement as well as security vulnerabilities. In this regard, the present study attempted to review the public surveillance methods currently used by law enforcement agencies worldwide within the context of public safety and individual rights to privacy. Furthermore, the present study also discussed the legal boundaries of police use of video equipment to address public concerns over privacy issues.
