Flight recoder is used to analyze the accident factors and prevent the accident. In the analysis of the flight recorder, the most important factor is how to estimate the precise location of the flight. Traditional aviation navigation is based on stable sensors such as DME and VOR. In order to enhance the precision of the location estimation, the integrated navigation algorithm is designed to incorporate DME, Air data sensors and INS(Inertial Navigation System). The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve better accuracy, comparing with the traditional navigation schemes, in flight location estimation.

There are many kinds of complicated equipments in the chemical plants. So the chemical plants have high possibility of accidents. Hazard analysis is one of the basic tasks to ensure the safety of chemical plants. However, it has many shortcomings. To overcome the problems, there have been attempts to automate this work by utilizing computer technology, particularly knowledge-based technique. However, many of the past approaches are lacking in properties: safeguard consideration, accident diversity, cause and consequence diversity, pathway leading to accidents, and various hazard analysis reasoning. Therefore, in this study, three analysis algorithms were proposed using multimodel approach, and a hazard analysis system, AHA, was developed on G2. The case study was solved with AHA system successfully.

최근 차량증가에 따라 교통사고가 날로 증가하고 있고, 안전운전을 위한 보조장치 개발의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 교통사고 원인중 운전자의 졸음으로 인한 사고가 30%에 달하고 있어 졸음운전 예방장치의 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 졸음운전예방을 위한 효율적인 졸음경보 장치시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 HRV와 안구활동 신호를 BP(역전파알고리즘)을 이용 보다 더 정확한 측정 및 판단을 행하여 운전자에게 음성경고를 보내주는 방식이다. 제안된 방식은 기존의 연구된 피부전기활동, 영상처리를 이용한 졸음운전 감지 시스템, 심박변동신호 분석 방법보다 훨씬 효율적인 졸음경보를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

현재 정부는 국가차원의 녹색성장에 따른 신재생에너지의 확대보급 활성화 방안에 따라 지자체 와발전사업자 등의 분산전원 도입계획은 많은 반면, 아직 국내에는 분산전원의 연계에 따라 문제점으로 지적되는 사고전류의 증가, 보호협조의 문제 등 분산전원의 도입 시 배전계통에 끼치는 영향과 문제점에 대한 구체적인 분석이 필요한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 배전계통 모의실험 장치 및 분산전원 모의실험 장치를 구성하여 분산전원에 의한 비상사고 시 계통의 전류변동을 계전장치 VIPAM3000을 통해 사고 상태에 대한 전류특성을 연구 하여 이에 대한 해결책을 제시 하였다.

The digital tachograph is a device that automatically records speed and distance of a vehicle, together with the driver's activity and vehicle status at an accident. It records vehicle speed, break status, acceleration, engine RPM, longitude and latitude of GPS, accumulated distance, and so on. European Commission regulation made digital tachographs mandatory for all trucks from 2005. Republic of Korea made digital tachographs mandatory for all new business vehicles from 2011 and is widening the range of vehicles that must install digital tachographs year by year. This device is used to analyze driver's daily driving information and car accidents. Under a car accident that makes the device reliability unpredictable, it is very important to store driving information with maximum reliability for its original mission. We designed and implemented a practical digital tachograph. This paper presents a storage scheme that consists of a first storage device with small capacity at a high reliability and a second storage device with large capacity at a low cost in order to reliably records data with a hardware at a low cost. The first storage device records data in a SLC NAND flash memory in a log-structured style. We present a reverse partial scan that overcomes the slow scan time of log-structured storages at the boot stage. The scheme reduced the scan time of the first storage device by 1/50. In addition, our design includes a scheme that fast stores data at a moment of accident by 1/20 of data transfer time of a normal method.

Multi-car rear-end collision accidents have three categories: sequential collision from the rear which is commonly referred to as chain reaction collision, sequential collision from the front, and mixed-order collision. This paper suggests several effective methods of reconstruction analysis for multi-car rear-end collision accidents. First, by incorporating the traditional empirical method which uses vehicle damage caused by brake dive and passenger injuries, with results of theoretical analysis made within mechanics of rigid body, it is made possible for the method to be put to immediate practical use. A methodology to precisely analyze multi-car rear-end collision accidents was suggested using a simulation program simultaneously with a video event data recorder which is starting to be widely used in domestic vehicles. To go beyond the simple intuitive analysis of the video event data recorder, the simulation analysis based on the results of video analysis was executed to acquire various information, so that the causes and responsibility could be clearly stated.

For consequence analysis at a gas explosion by vessel release, release rates, demage areas of facilities, and fatality areas were estimated and analyzed at various conditions(release materials, temperatures, pressures, and vessel types) by using the release scenario of API-581 BRD. Simulation results showed that release rates and consequences in the vessel release were higher than those in the pipe release, and the order of release rates and damage areas was as follows; tank>reactor>drum> column.

For the purpose of technological analysis in the marine accidents and their prevention, IMO have made it obligatory to load VDR which is similar to the black box in aircraft. However, in case of body sinkage, capsizing, stranding and plunging which are almost 10% of marine accidents, it is difficult to take out the necessary data from the VDR in order to analyze the cause of them. Therefore, this paper apply the navigation dangerousness evaluation technology to the VDR to improve its performance. And we suggest that the vertical acceleration which is one of the factors for evaluating seakeeping performance of a ship is to be added in the existing VDR record data recommended by IMQ.

A lane departure warning system (LDWS) is an effective technology-based countermeasure for preventing traffic crashes as it provides warning information to drivers. Understanding the characteristics of perception and satisfaction levels on LDWS is fundamental for deriving better performance and functionality enhancements of the system. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the user satisfaction of LDWS. A survey to collect user perception and user preference data was conducted. Both cross-tabulation analysis and binary logistic regression technique were adopted to identify the factors affecting user satisfaction for LDWS. The results revealed that the accuracy and timeliness of warning information was significant for evaluating the effectiveness of LDWS. In particular, the warning accuracy at a curve segment on the road was the most dominant factor affecting user satisfaction. The outcome of this study would be valuable in evaluating and designing LDWS functionalities.

The purpose of this study is to assess the risk of depending on the presence or absence of safety device of domestic heating and drying furnaces, by derivation and analysis of accident frequency of safety devices through FTA (Fault Tree Analysis). Installation standards are lacking in Korean for the safety device of LPG heating and drying furnace, which have a risk of explosion due to structure to trap the leaked gas. Four different safety devices were selected on the basis of NFPA and national standards for combustors of other equipment. Effects of frequency reduction in accidents were analyzed before and after installing the safety devices respectively. As a result, a minimal leakage safety device was presented for preventing damages from gas leak of domestic LPG heating and drying furnace.
