자동차의 안전에 대한 연구는 객실의 변형제한과 승객의 감속도 축소를 위한 여러가지 구조부재의 에너지 흡수능력 및 흡수 메카니즘을 연구하는데 초점이 맞추어져 왔다. 그 이유는 충돌사고시에 인명을 보호하기 위해서는 차제변형에 의한 물리적 접촉의 회피 뿐 아니라 충돌에너지를 적절히 흡수조절하여 충돌력을 감소시키도록 구조부재를 설계함으로써 충돌안전성이 확보되기 때문이다. 충돌에너지 흡수 특성은 구조부재의 단면 형상과 재질에 따라 달라지며 압괴모드도 구분되어진다. 즉, 복합재료의 압축붕괴특성은 금속이나 플라스틱 재질과는 다르다. 일반적으로 복합재는 재질의 파손으로 에너지가 흡수되지만 금속재는 소성변형으로 에너지를 흡수한다. 이때의 붕괴양상은 작용하중에 따라 축방향 붕괴, 굽힘붕괴, 측면붕괴의 경우는 정규압괴모드(compact mode) 및 불규칙압괴모드(noncompact mode)로 나뉘고, 원통쉘의 경우는 축대칭모드 및 다이아몬드형 모드 등으로 나뉠수 있다. 원형 및 사각 튜브는 광범위한 형상비와 후폭비를 가지도록 제작할 수 있으며 산업전반에 걸쳐 널리 쓰이므로 충돌특성 연구의 대상으로 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 또한, 충돌특성의 해석을 위한 이론적 모델이 제시되었으며 계속적인 보완이 이루어져 오고 있다.

Recently the car and elevator accidents as well as the fire, explosion and collapse increased. The passenger elevator accident from 1993 year to 2001 year has about 56.7% of total accidents and the human victims of 180 according to the Korea Elevator Safety Institute. Accident cause and prevention were investigated for the elevator having the fall, impact and narrowness accident types. The prevention and protection methods of the elevator accident from analysis results were suggested by comparing and analogizing the accident statistics about the accident investigation of the passenger elevator according to the elevator accidents.

Recently, Child safety has become one of the issue with Q10 dummy representing large child. The objective of this paper was to evaluate performance of three child restraints system (backless booster, high-back booster and without booster) by changing D-ring location in the rear seat. Sled tests were carried out with a Q 10 in 64km/h frontal impact. Before the dynamic sled tests, we assessed dummy positioning with difference in CRS types and height adjustment positions. Dynamic sled test results indicated that there is different performance of CRS types and belt routing. These test results will use as base line data for development CRS safety performance for Q 10.

The wire rope, one of the component of the elevator, is extremely important for the sage operation of the elevator. That is why the wire rope is replaced at a specific interval regradless of the operating conditions or the degree of damage to prevent the breakage of the wire rope. This is the waste of resources, causing economic and environmental loss. This paper has surveyed and analyzed and analyzed the status of replacing wire-rope by buildings that use elevators, in order to compare the replacement cycles of the wire rope under each operating conditions.

With the advance of autonomous vehicle technology various sitting posture is possible like relax position (inclined seating posture). Parametric study was done with MADYMO, a mutibody dynamics solver, to investigate the effect of sitting posture in different frontal crash modes, full frontal, 40% offset, and angled rigid barrier crash as well as various impact speeds. Hybrid III 50th male and 5th female dummies were used to figure out the difference induced by occupant weight and dimension. Restraint system parameters complying to current safety protocols like NCAP are studied if they still work effectively in relax position which is feasible with autonomous vehicles.

Many studies are being conducted to improve high speed, light weight and safety of passenger. To improve safety of rolling stock, safety of running performance is most important, and optimizing flow lubrication in driving gear is essential. This study simulates lubricant flow change in driving gear casing which is splashed by the surface of low speed gear teeth following rotational direction of driving gear unit for EMU by using CFD analysis, and based on analysis detail, non-load actual test is conducted for similar driving condition to find out suitability of analysis, selection of lubricate and stability of driving gear.

This paper examines the safety perception of passengers on low cost carriers which has made several accidents and incidents at the early stage of their business. The concept of low cost carrier is becoming more important to airline industry in Korea. This study achieves the first selecting attribute among airline service factors on domestic flights and try to indicate that how much the passengers trust in the safety of low cost carriers. It is also sets the comparative safety awareness between low cost carriers and two full service national carriers in domestic market. The safety perception of aircraft type can be a major factor for LCC choice in Korea due to frequent accidents and incidents for last two years. More than 60% of LCC passengers have increasingly considered the safety after recent accidents. The low cost airlines' images of the passengers showed that the first image of the LCC was the fare and the second image was safety. This study indicates that most of the LCC travelers will use the international low cost airlines when LCC extend their destination to adjacent countries. For the accomplishment of the low cost carriers' competitiveness in domestic market, they have to try to get rid of bad image for safety and pay extra attention to find out better services other than the safety and develop other strategies to compete against existing full service carriers.

Many car manufacturers have frequently adopted an aggressive inflator and a lower threshold speed for airbag deployment in order to meet an injury requirement for unbolted occupant at high speed crash test. Consequently, today's occupant safety restraint system has a weakness due to an airbag induced injury at low speed crash event. This paper proposes a new crash algorithm to improve the weakness by suppressing airbag deployment at low speed crash event in case of belted condition. The proposed algorithm consists of two major blocks-crash severity algorithm and deployment logic block. The first block decides crash severity with two levels by means of velocity and crash energy calculation from acceleration signal. The second block implemented by simple AND/OR logic combines the crash severity level and seat belt status information to generate firing commands for airbag and belt pretensioner. Furthermore, it can be extended to adopt additional sensor information from passenger presence detection sensor and safing sensor. A simulation using real crash data for a 1,800cc passenger vehicle has been conducted to verify the performance of proposed algorithm.
