For many rears, traffic accident statistics are the most direct measure of safety for a signalized intersection. However it takes more than 2 or 3 yearn to collect certain accident data for adequate sample sizes. And the accident data itself is unreliable because of the difference between accident data recorded and accident that is actually occurred. Therefore, it is rather difficult to evaluate safety for a intersection by using accident data. For these reasons, traffic conflict technique(TCT) was developed as a buick and accurate counter-measure of safety for a intersection. However, the collected conflict data is not always reliable because there is absence of clear criteria for conflict. This study developed objective and accurate conflict criteria, which is shown below based on traffic engineering theory. Frist, the rear-end conflict is regarded, when the following vehicle takes evasive maneuver against the first vehicle within a certain distance, according to car-following theory. Second, lane-change conflict is regarded when the following vehicle takes evasive maneuver against first vehicle which is changing its lane within the minimum stopping distance of the following vehicle. Third, cross and opposing-left turn conflicts are regarded when the vehicle which receives green sign takes evasive maneuver against the vehicle which lost its right-of-way crossing a intersection. As a result of correlation analysis between conflict and accident, it is verified that the suggested conflict criteria in this study ave applicable. And it is proven that estimating safety evaluation for a intersection with conflict data is possible, according to the regression analysis preformed between accident and conflict, EPDO accident and conflict. Adopting the conflict criteria suggested in this study would be both quick and accurate method for diagnosing safety and operational deficiencies and for evaluation improvements at intersections. Further research is required to refine the suggested conflict criteria to extend its application. In addition, it is necessary to develope other types of conflict criteria, not included in this study, in later study.

Broadband Convergence Network(BcN) is a critical infrastructure to provide wired-and-wireless high-quality multimedia services by converging communication and broadcasting systems, However, there exist possible danger to spread the damage of an intrusion incident within an individual network to the whole network due to the convergence and newly generated threats according to the advent of various services roaming vertically and horizontally. In order to cope with these new threats, we need to analyze the vulnerabilities of BcN in a system architecture aspect and classify them in a systematic way and to make the results to be utilized in preparing proper countermeasures, In this paper, we propose a new classification of vulnerabilities which has been extended from the ITU-T recommendation X.805, which defines the security related architectural elements. This new classification includes system elements to be protected for each service, possible attack strategies, resulting damage and its criticalness, and effective countermeasures. The new classification method is compared with the existing methods of CVE(Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) and CERT/CC(Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center), and the result of an application to one of typical services, VoIP(Voice over IP) and the development of vulnerability database and its management software tool are presented in the paper. The consequence of the research presented in the paper is expected to contribute to the integration of security knowledge and to the identification of newly required security techniques.

하천에서 유해화학물질 유출사고로 인하여 오염물질이 유입되었을 경우, 이에 대응하기 위하여 오염운의 도달시간과 농도를 예측하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 종방향의 혼합거동이 중요한 넓은 범위의 하천을 대상으로 오염물질의 이송을 예측하기 위하여 일반적으로 1차원 Fickian 모형을 사용한다. 그러나 실제 하천에서 오염물질의 농도를 측정하였을 경우, 대부분의 농도분포는 오염물질의 저장대효과로 인하여 긴 tail 부분을 갖는 왜곡된 분포를 갖게 된다. 이러한 저장대 효과는 여러 하천내의 다양한 불규칙성으로부터 발생하나, 국내 하천에 많은 보가 설치되어 있음에도 불구하고 하천 내부에 설치된 수리구조물에 의하여 발생하는 인공적인 저장대 효과에 관한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내 수리실험과 수치 모의를 통하여 노치가 존재하는 보주변에서의 흐름 특성과 오염 물질의 이송 특성을 규명하고, 이를 통해 보의 지형 및 수리적 인자가 저장대 메커니즘에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수리 실험을 통한 넓은 범위에서의 수평방향 흐름장과 농도장을 측정하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 광역 계측방법인 Large Scale Particle-Image-Velocimetry (LSPIV) 기법과 Planar-Concentration-Analysis (PCA) 기법을 각각 유속과 농도 측정을 위해 적용하였다. 더 많은 보의 지형 및 수리적 조건에 따른 저장대 메커니즘을 분석하기 위하여 3차원 Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) 모형을 통해 모의조건을 확장 적용하였다. 측정 및 모의 결과를 바탕으로 노치가 존재하는 보의 지형 및 수리적 인자가 저장대 메커니즘에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 저장대 영역 면적의 크기는 노치사이의 간격이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 노치의 높이의 경우에는 크게 민감하지 않은 경향을 나타냈다. 추적물질의 체류 시간은 노치사이의 간격과 보의 높이가 증가할수록, 유량이 감소할수록 증가하여 질량교환계수 값이 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 프루드 수와 레이놀드 수 모두 질량교환계수와 양의 상관 관계를 나타냈으나 저장대 영역의 면적의 크기와는 낮은 관계성을 나타냈다.

A safety device with shut-off function was developed for preventing intentional accidents that might happen by separating of cutting hoses connected to pressure regulators used in residential LP gas facility. For the verification of function and field adaptability, the safety device with shut-off function was tested in the state of joining the device to the regulator and a field test was carried out at home. This study shows that, at the inlet pressure of 0.07-1.56 MPa, the device shuts off the gas within the 5m length of hose regardless of the installation condition of the regulator. The shut-off flow rate increases in the order of perpendicular upward, horizontal and perpendicular downward. From the results of the field tests carried out at home for 5 months, there appears no problem using a gas range or a boiler. If the developed shut-off device is commercialized and distributed in the market the intentional accidents occurred by cutting or separating hoses can be prevented remarkably.

There are a lot of curved subway stations in Seoul metropolitan area. These must be straightly constructed as many as possible. But some of stations are roundly designed and built in order to avoid pre-existed underground obstacle such as basement of high rise building, underground gas or water pipe line and subway stations from another line. As shown fig 1, one of the biggest problem occurring curved subway station is considered large gap between platform and vehicle when vehicle completely stop at the station. The gap potentially is in existence to subway passenger as very dangerous factors in rush hours. If passenger accidentally drop their food or leg between this gap when they get on the train and train leaves station, the passenger will be seriously injured by vehicle. In this paper, various design and instruments are introduced and best solution for this matter will be presented. In order to eliminate any possibility of accident happened gap between platform and vehicle, KRRI(Korea Railroad Research Institute) have been developed new safety instrument. These technologies were applied for patent by KRRI. These mechanisms will provide confidence as well as safety to Korean subway passenger

RDF는 장기저장이 가능한 것이 특징 중의 하나이지만, 우리나라보다 앞서 대량저장을 시작한 일본의 RDF 저장 사일로에서 폭발사고가 발생한 사례가 있어, RDF를 실제로 저장하여 RDF 온도 및 가연성가스 발생상황 등을 장기간 감시 측정하여 사일로 안전관리지표를 도출하였다. 실험에 사용한 RDF 저장조는 직경 3.1m, 높이 11.4m의 사일로방식으로 제작하였다. RDF 저장량은 $70m^3$이었으며, 저장기간은 475일이었다. 사일로에는 15개의 열전대를 설치하여 사일로 표면, 직경방향 1.2m 지점 및 기온을 측정하여 수직방향 및 수평방향의 온도변화를 분석하였다. 가스 샘플링포트는 온도측정지점과 동일한 위치 설치하여 진공펌프로 흡인하여 테트라 백에 포집하여 GC로 분석하였으며, 가스샘플링은 17회 실시하였다. 비교적 대형 저장설비이고 RDF가 열전도성이 낮은 물질임에도 불구하고 사일로 내부온도는 기온보다는 높았지만, 기온의 영향을 많이 받아 7월에 정점, 1월에 하점을 나타내는 사인곡선과 같은 패턴을 보였다. 측정지점별 온도차는 수평방향 보다 수직방향에서 높게 나타났으며, RDF층으로 전열 및 축열이 진행되고 생화학반응을 촉진시키는 상승작용의 결과로 월평균온도가 $49^{\circ}C$를 나타내는 지점도 있었다. 실제 사일로는 RDF의 투입과 배출이 연속적으로 진행되어 방열이 이루어지므로 하계에 대량저장을 실시하지 않는 한 RDF층 내부에서 생화학적 반응열이 생성되더라도 $40^{\circ}C$를 상회할 가능성은 매우 희박할 것으로 판단된다. RDF 저장시 발생하는 가스는 대부분 $CO_2$였으며, 미량이지만 $H_2$, CO, $CH_4$도 검출되었다. 가연성 가스는 저장 후 2개월 동안은 발생하지 않았으며, 하계에는 타 계절에 비해 상대적으로 고농도로 검출되었다. 발생가스와 온도 및 $CO_2$와 $H_2$농도의 상관성은 높게 나타나지 않았지만, 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 저장한 RDF의 성상(수분, 발열량, 분화물)은 실험개시 전의 RDF분석결과와 실험종료 후 분석결과에서는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 RDF의 안전 저장을 위해서는 (1) 반입되는 RDF성상관리, (2) RDF가 2개월 이상 장기간 체류하는 데드스페이스가 발생하지 않고 선입선출이 확보되는 저장조 설계, (3) 사일로 내부에 최소 3개 이상의 지점에서 온도를 측정하여 상시감시하고 $40^{\circ}C$이하로 관리, (4) 발생가스는 CO, $CO_2$, $H_2$, $CH_4$ 등의 가연성가스를 모두 측정 감시하는 것이 바람직하지만, 최소 $CO_2$와 $H_2$는 상시감시하고 각각 1%와 100ppm 미만으로 관리, (5) 배풍기 등을 이용한 상시 환기실시, (6) 하계에는 대량저장이 이루어지지 않도록 저장조 운용계획 수립 등을 실시해야 한다.

This paper aims at developing 'gyro-mouse' which provides decent and comfortable human-computer interface that supports the usage of such software as an internet-browser in PC for the people paralyzed in upper limbs. This interface operates on information collected from head movement to get the cursor control. The interface is composed of two modules. One is hardware module in which the head horizontal and vertical angular velocities are detected and transmitted into PC. The other is a PC software that translates the received data into movement and click signals of the mouse. The ANN (artificial neural network) learns the quick nodding pattern of each user as click input so that it can provide user-friendly interface. The performance of the system was evaluated by three indices that are click recognition rate. error in cursor position control. and click rate of the moving target box. The performance result of the gyro-mouse was compared with that of the optical-mouse to assess the efficiency of the gyro-mouse. The average click recognition rate was 93%, average error in cursor position control was 1.4∼5 times of optical mouse. and the click rate with 50 pixels target box was 40%(30 clicks/min) to that of optical mouse. The click rate increased monotonously with the number of trial from 35% to 44%. The suggested system is expected to provide a new possibility to communicate with the society.

Aircraft are representative of human-machine systems. There is a delay between the human operation and the completion of the machine operation such as when the machine starts to operate and when the force is transmitted to the machine and completed. Time perception is an important component of timing tasks and is known to be affected by the anxiety associated with high arousal. This research verified the impact of weather, flight, and time conditions on the anxiety and time perception of in-service pilots in a virtual reality area. Weather conditions were divided into visual flight weather conditions and very low visibility conditions. Experiments 1 and 2 were performed with different flight and time conditions. In Experiment 1, time perception was measured by employing a button added to the control rod in the scenario of hovering and level flight with relatively little transformed in momentum and little delay. In Experiment 2, time perception was measured in the procedure of naturally taking off the helicopter by employing only the control stick in a takeoff scenario where there was a lot of transformation in momentum and a lot of delays. As a result of the experiment, it was reported that anxiety and heart rate increased in very low visibility conditions In particular, among all flight conditions in Experiments 1 and 2, it was reported that time was overestimated in the scenario of increased anxiety. This outcome can lead to overestimation of time under the impact of anxiety and failure of the timing task, which may lead to challenges in maneuvering and possibly lead to accidents.
