Several that analyzed the effectiveness of traffic safety facilities a method of comparing changes in the number of accidents, accident severity, speed through traffic accident data before and after installation or speed data collected from vehicle detection systems (VDS). , when traffic accident data is used, it takes a long time to collect because must be collected for at least one year before and after installation. , the road environment may change during this period, such as the addition of other traffic safety facilities in addition to the facilities to be analyzed. , the location of the VDSs for speed data is often different from the location where analysis is required, and there is a problem in that the investigators are exposed to the risk of traffic accident during on-site investigation. Therefore, this study a case study by establishing a methodology to determine effectiveness video images with a drone, extracting data using a program, and comparing vehicle driving speeds before and after speed reduction facilities. Vehicle speed surveys using drones are much safer than observational surveys conducted on highways and have the advantage of tracking speed changes along the vehicle, it is expected that they will be used for various traffic surveys in the future.

Vehicles experience changes in driving behavior due to the various facilities on the freeway. These sections may cause repetitive traffic congestion when the traffic volume increases, so safety issues may be raised. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to perform microscopic traffic analysis on these sections using drone images and to identify the causes of traffic problems. In the case of drone image, since trajectory data of individual vehicles can be obtained, empirical analysis of driving behavior is possible. The analysis section of this study was selected as the weaving section of Pangyo IC and the sag section of Seohae Bridge. First, the trajectory data was extracted through the drone image. And the microscopic traffic analysis performed on the speed, density, acceleration, and lane change through cell-unit analysis using Generalized definition method. This analysis results can be used as a basic study to identify the cause of the problem section in the freeway. Through this, we aim to improve the efficiency and convenience of traffic analysis.

The progress in science and technology has widened the scope of the battlefield, leading to the emergence of cyber electronic warfare that exploits electromagnetic waves and networks. Drones have become more important due to advancements in battery technology and navigation systems. Nevertheless, tackling drone threats comes with its own set of difficulties. Radar plays a vital role in detecting drones, offering long-range capabilities and independence from weather conditions. However, the battlefield presents unique challenges like dealing with high levels of signal noise and ensuring the safety of the detection assets. This paper proposes various approaches to improve the operation of drone detection radar in cyber electronic warfare, with a focus on enhancing signal processing techniques, utilizing low probability of interception (LPI) radar, and implementing optimized deployment strategies.

Evalution of counter drone systems is conducted in order to designate plausible countermeasues against possible drone threats, assess the level of safety of national major facilities and derive complementary measures for detected weakness. Recently drone threats by North Korea have heavily impacted ROK(Republic of Korea) people and it has been stronly stressed to build efficient counter drone system for make the society protected and secured against drone threats. The researchers has conducted field investigations for some of national major facilites. There is, however, no standardized evaluation checklist, so we have proposed an evaluation checklist for counter drone systems though thinking process of RMA(Revolution in Military Affairs). This paper is to introduce the evaluation checklist for properly diagnosing each counter drone system.

본 논문에서는 쿼드콥터 드론의 충돌방지를 위한 효율적인 자동제어 방법을 제안한다. 이 제어방법은 RC 조종기에서 노브를 이용하여 사용자가 제어하는 신호를 쿼드콥터의 리시버단에서 수신한 뒤 출력되는 PWM 신호들 중에서 쓰로틀, 피치, 롤 제어정보를 필요시 변경하는 방법으로 충돌을 방지한다. 충돌을 예측하기 위해서 전후, 좌우, 상하 6방향에 레이저 거리측정센서를 장착하고 주기적으로 거리를 측정한다. 그리고 측정 거리를 이용하여 장애물 유무를 판정하고 충돌이 예상되면 수신된 PWM 신호를 변경하여 쿼드콥터의 비행제어부로 전달함으로써 충돌을 방지하도록 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 충돌방지 방법을 쿼드콥터에 적용하여 실험을 통해 검증한 결과, 조종자 부주의 혹은 조종 미숙으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 충돌을 방지할 수 있어 안전성이 향상됨을 보였다.

In order to operate multi drone efficiently, existing control methods must be improved, and drones must be able to construct communication networks autonomously. FANET(Flying Ad-Hoc Network), which is being considered as an alternative to solving these problems, is based on ad hoc network technology and can be exposed to a variety of security vulnerabilities. However, due to the limited computational power and memory of FANET nodes, and rapid and frequent changes in network topology, it is not easy to apply the existing security measures to FANET without modification. Thus, this paper proposes lightweight security measures applicable to FANET, which have distinct characteristics from existing ad hoc networks by utilizing PUF technology. The proposed security measures utilize unique values generated by non-replicable PUFs to increase the safety of AODV, FANET's reactive routing protocol, and are resistant to various attacks.

Lithium polymer batteries are used in energy storage systems (ESS), electric vehicles (EVs), etc. due to their high safety, fast charging and long lifecycle, and now they are used in agricultural drones. However, when overcharging and overdischarging, the lithium-polymer battery is destroyed in the gap structure in the lithium-ion battery and the battery life is reduced. In order to prevent overcharge and overdischarge, uneven cell voltage Cell balancing system is needed. In this paper, a fuzzy controller suitable for nonlinear systems is proposed by detecting the unbalanced cells by detecting the voltage difference between charging and discharging of each cell, and suggesting the applied cell balancing algorithm. In this paper, we have designed the cell balancing of the battery pack of agricultural drones by fuzzy control and it is designed for equal control between cells. As a final result, we checked whether cell balancing is good, and when there are two cells, Cell balancing was confirmed. We tested whether it could be used for other products. As a result, we confirmed that cell balancing is good regardless of the number of cells used.

This research shows how is designed, and its performance is evaluated on the ground for the VTOL drone before the flight test initiates. The targeted drone weight is approximately 45 kg including battery packs, and 4 motors are utilized to produce thrust and control directions. 30 min flight schedules were simulated to estimate the total power consumptions which result in 2.4 kWh. Then, two packs of 13-cells lithium-polymer battery with operating voltage ranging between 54 V and 44 V with up to 4 C-rate were fabricated to safely operate a VTOL drone. Moreover, the battery management system was installed to prevent over and under-voltage and over-current while running a battery system. To finally verify battery's performance, we conducted a ground evaluation for discharging battery tests at -10 ℃, 25 ℃ and 40 ℃, resulting in satisfying simulated power consumption conditions for flight schedules.
