Automatic announcement systems and emergency lights are necessary to prevent urban railway vehicles from accident, according to the emergency response guideline of domestic railroad. When emergency situation occurs, safety regulations and standards for urban railway vehicles specify that the emergency lights must be turn-on over 30 minutes as well as that the announcement should be provided by an attendant. However, as the current emergency systems use different units without a standard and system maintenance and management is not well performed, it is difficult to know the operation status. In this paper, modularized structures are given to standardize the emergency systems. The modularized structures analyzed from emergency scenarios of railway can substitute the existing broadcasting and lighting system. As a result, the optimized modular system considering cost and maintenance can be proposed by comparing all modularizations.

This thesis is based on the study of necessity of an addressable emergency broadcasting system to improve evacuation performance in order to minimize human casualty by avoiding the initial evacuation after fires such as the multi-unit dwelling fire in Euijeongbu in 2015. To minimize the damage from fire generated in a complex internal structure such as modern buildings, introduction of adaptable emergency broadcasting system, could increase the efficiency of evacuation by preventing of initial mistaken evacuation directions by alerting the accurate location of fire to the occupants, is needed. As such, this study designed and fabricated the addressable emergency broadcasting system using the existing addressable system. Its performance was compared with a conventional emergency broadcasting system to confirm the necessity of the addressable emergency broadcasting system to improve evacuation performance. The test result showed that the addressable emergency broadcasting system decreased the evacuation time by up to 30.3% in a small-scale model evacuation performance experiment, up to 54.6% in a hallway evacuation performance experiment compared to the conventional emergency broadcasting system.

Tunnels and subterranean roads, which are representative evacuation facilities for national or regional disasters, have radio relay broadcasting facilities for legal reasons and convenience reasons. However, this system is limited to radio broadcasting and it is impossible to effectively communicate disaster or emergency situations that occur locally due to broadcasting of national broadcasting without DMB broadcasting. In order to improve this, we construct a remote disaster broadcasting system at each regional disaster station and implement a system to transmit it to each tunnel using internet or LTE network. The system in the tunnel transmits the emergency broadcasting signal through the existing relay equipment through the modulator which decodes the SMS, the media file, the real time broadcasting or the image received by the digital signal and converts it into FM and DMB frequency. The method proposed and implemented in this study can be used to provide efficient information and remote field control in case of emergency in tunnel and underground roadway.

In this study, in order to investigate whether or not the emergency broadcasting sound generated from an emergency broadcasting speaker is clearly transmitted to the occupant through architectural sound simulation, when the loudspeaker for emergency broadcasting is installed at intervals of 25 m according to NFSC 202 for a rectangular hallway. The sound pressure level and speech intelligibility index were analyzed according to changes in building finishing materials. With a reflective material finishing, sound pressure level satisfied the standard while speech intelligibility index was low. As a result of applying the sound absorbing material finishing, clarity and speech transmission index was improved to a level that could be understood by the occupant, whereas the sound pressure level delivered to the occupant decreased in the same space.

In this study, an architectural acoustics simulation was conducted to examine the clear and uniform transmission of emergency broadcasting sound in a T junction corridor space. The sound absorption performance of the corridor space and the location and spacing of the loudspeaker for emergency broadcasting were varied. The distribution of the sound pressure level and the distribution of sound transmission indices (STI, RASTI) were compared. The simulation showed that the loudspeaker for emergency broadcasting should be installed approximately 10 m from the center of the T junction corridor connection for clear voice transmission. Narrowing the 25 m installation interval of the NFSC shows that an even clearer and sufficient volume of emergency broadcast sound can be delivered evenly.

IP and SIP public broadcasting systems developed in Korea and abroad are developed in a Windows or Linux server environments and are installed in a server-rack structure, have high power consumption, and are difficult to remotely respond to system failures. In this paper, IoT platform is designed to connect IoT device and gateway to IoT service server by using internet service structure. We also designed a server based on embedded OS that can provide a variety of public safety management services according to the order of the server with built-in call processing and broadcasting function that can handle emergency calls and emergency broadcasts in public places using this structure. This server is interoperable with a variety of SIP-based call and broadcast devices that support the standard SIP and can be integrated with an in-house phone and on-premises system.

Currently, with the success of 5G commercialization, a server system that integrates various Internet public safety services should be developed. In this paper, we developed a public safety integrated server, which is an IoT platform connecting IoT device and IoT gateway based on IP PBX. This server is based on embedded OS and various IoT services are executed in one system and call processing / broadcasting server function that processes emergency call and emergency broadcasting in public places is built in. This system collects IoT sensor data and emergency bell information and automatically sends out emergency alarms, emergency evacuation broadcasts, etc. at an accident site in an emergency situation, and transmits the daily information to the upper IoT service server, Provide public safety management services.

2017년 5월31일부터 지상파 초고화질방송(UHDTV)이 시작되었다. 이미 고화질방송(HDTV)으로 디지털화 되어 선명한 화질과 품질을 방송으로 보고 있으나 세계의 축제인 2018년도 동계올림픽을 위하여 방송을 송출하였다. 그러나 현재의 수신은 수도권과 일부 대도시 그리고 평창 등의 일부지역으로 한정되고 2021년까지 전국 시 군 지역까지 방송이 될 것이며, 특히나 지상파 최고화질방송은 최근에 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 재난의 대응을 위하여 재난경보방송을 제시하고 있다. 공동주택에서 방송공동수신설비는 지상파 텔레비전방송, 에프엠라디오, 이동멀티미디어방송 및 위성방송을 활용하는 필수 설비이다. 방송공동수신설비는 최근에 다양한 재난상황을 실시간으로 상황전파를 하는 중요한 시설이 되고 있다고 본다. 그러나 방송공동수신설비는 구내통신설비와 함께 공동으로 사용되고 있으며 일원화된 채널로 되어 있어 단선되는 경우 재난방송을 듣거나 볼 수가 없게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 방송공동수신설비를 이중화할 수 있도록 제안을 하고자 한다. 먼저, 기존의 방송공동수신설비를 알아보고, 제안방식으로 소출력중계기를 활용하거나 극소 소출력중계기 또는 비상방송과 결부시켜서 이중화를 하는 방안을 제시한다. 몇 가지 제약적인 사항이 있으나 국민의 생활 안전을 위해서는 고려가 되어야 한다고 본다.

가택침입이나 물리적인 납치 강도 등의 위협을 당할 경우, 개인은 외부와의 소통이 단절된 상태에서 생명의 위협과 함께 금융자산 유출의 위험에 쉽게 노출될 수밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 상황에서 금융 계좌의 비상용 비밀번호를 이용하여 개인의 긴급한 상황을 외부에서 인지할 수 있는 고객상황 인지시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 고객상황 인지시스템은 비밀번호 인식기, 비상상황 인식기, 경보 발령기, 비상상황 처리기로 구성된다. 제안한 시스템은 고객의 긴급 상황을 인지하여 적절히 대처할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 금융자산 강탈을 목적으로 하는 범죄 심리를 사전에 예방하는 효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In this study, the acoustic characteristics of 13 types of emergency broadcasting speakers were tested under the test set-up of UL 2043 and compared. When the sound pressure level of 1 W speakers was compared with speakers with a 15 W output, the SPL of the 15 W speakers was approximately 20 dB higher in some frequency bands. Loudness analysis showed that people can recognize emergency sound from a 15 W speaker twice as loud as the emergency sound from 1 W speakers. The analysis results on the articulation index (room) had an opposite tendency with loudness results, meaning that small speakers can generate clearer sound. Therefore, it is necessary to improve emergency broadcasting speakers to generate louder and clearer sound. Moreover, a performance evaluation standard is needed based on the reasonable and quantitative measurements and evaluations of the acoustic characteristics of the emergency-broadcasting speakers so that a sufficient and clear sound can be generated in various spaces. In addition, it is necessary to establish standards for the clarity of emergency broadcasting in various spaces.
