The finite element modeling of small female occupant for crash simulation is presented in this paper subsequently to the part I of articulated rigid body model. The limbs and internal components are additionally modeled by joining them to the articulated rigid body model for predicting the crash injuries such as bone fractures and joint dislocations. The behavioral characteristics of each limbs and internal components were validated against available cadaveric test results. Accordingly, the human model proposed in this paper could be utilized for the investigation of impact injury mechanism and further complement the lacking biofidelity of current crash dummy.

In order to reduce the damage of life and property caused by an automobile accident, we should design new car models and safety standard with reference to the data analysis and in-depth investigation of the accident. In-depth research and analysis of the current world other than the police investigation team (GIDAS, iGLAD, NHTSA, etc.) and collect in-depth data. Going to develop a safety policy to make it much safer cars based on this data. However, the country still does not have the advantage of KIDAS data Safety Policy Direction. In KNCAP tests, there is nothing in order to protect far side passengers even if far side impact causes approximately 50% injured people. Based on DBs like KIDAS (Korean In-Depth Accident Study) and GIDAS, far side passengers got injured as much as near side passengers did. So as to protect far side passengers, KNCAP has to change the test method of side crashes. In this study, injury severities to compare with ES-2, World SID and Thor dummies and the movements of far and near side passengers, SLED TEST was used.

Vehicular communication networking is one of the most important building blocks of Intelligent Transportation System(ITS). The vehicular communication network is a wireless communication system enabling vehicles to communicate with each other as well as with roadside base stations. Especially, Wi-Fi based vehicle-to-infrastructure(V2I) communication is an emerging solution to improve the safety, traffic efficiency, and comfort of passengers. In this paper, we proposed a new communication hub platform for vehicles, and explained vehicle communication technology in short. Through car simulation results, we show thar our proposed system reduces signaling interference.

우리나라는 국제해사기구(IMO)에 "여객선 탈출지도체계의 기술개발에 관한 정보"라는 안건(IMO SSE4/INF2)을 2017년에 제출한 바 있다. 이 의제에 소개된 지능형 선박 및 인명대피 안내시스템(SEGA)은 한국해양과학기술원의 주관으로 한국해양수산부의 지원을 받아 2016년부터 2020년 3월까지 약 4년간의 프로젝트로 개발 중에 있다. SEGA는 데이터 수집과 분석, 정보 표시의 프로세스를 자동화하여 우리나라 연안에서 항해 중인 선박에 비상상황이 발생할 경우 항해자의 의사결정을 지원하는 시스템이다. SEGA 시스템을 지원하기 위해 구축된 SEGA 서버와 데이터베이스는 해양기상정보, 수심정보, 해상교통정보를 처리 한다. 또한 비상상황 시 2차 사고를 방지하기 위해 선박이 대피 할 수 있는 장소에 대한 정보를 사용자가 확인할 수 있도록 알고리즘이 설계되어 있다. 인명안전을 위해 SEGA는 비상상황 시 선박내부 구조정보와 화재 등 변수사항들을 고려하여 승객들에게 빠른 탈출을 위한 최적대피경로를 제공하며, 원격탐사기술을 이용하여 선박주변의 익수자를 탐지하도록 개발 중에 있다. 보다 상세한 내용은 항해항만학회 VTS 특별세션에서 발표할 예정이다.

Bus manufacturers have tested and studied the dynamic collapse behavior of a bus body structure in rollover since UN ECE established ECE Regulation 66 to provide the requirement for the strength of bus structure. In spite of the costly cycles of practical tests, however, it is still a hard task to meet the rollover regulation by means of local reinforcements in the bus structure. Therefore it is necessary to develop a well designed strategy for the rollover strength implemented in the early stage of vehicle development. In this study, the suitable development method for each design stage from a component to complete body structure was considered to make a well-established development process of a bus body structure for rollover safety. For the efficient approach of the concept design stage, a numerical model based on the plastic hinge theory was used instead of detailed shell models. After setting up the concept design for the component size and geometry, the shell model was used to confirm and optimize the whole structure composition. The process developed in this study was practically used as an effective method to predict the rollover behavior of a new bus body structure.

This paper statistically reviewed for the USNCAP frontal crash test results carried out by NHTSA. Vehicle samples were selected on total 20 vehicles which were included on 15 vehicles for MPV&SUV and 5 Pickup. The results was summarized as followings. The performance for the driver was better than the passenger's in the average sense. There exist distinctions between the driver and the passenger on the USNCAP front test procedure, for example dummy size, seating position and airbag style. Therefore these differences originated in the statistical results. Main effect was Neck injury for crash performance on both dummies on the average value. Root cause of neck injury was different for each dummy, ie, the driver caused from Nte & Ntf, but the passenger did absolutely Nte mode. Reliability evaluated from the standard deviation was highly dependent upon chest injury on the driver and neck injury on the passenger. Restraint system was also summarized.

The objective of this study is to analyze the smoke extraction efficiency using by the partial extraction system with CFD simulation for case of tunnel fire. The Comparison of CFD results with the preceding scaled model test results, it is equal to the smoke extraction efficiency and smoke stratification in tunnel by the partial smoke extraction system (distributed damper). It shows that the smoke extraction efficiency is increased about 7% by the distributed damper which is opened near fire, compare with the distributed damper which is all opened. The case of the fire occurs on a traffic jam in a tunnel, it is proposed that the operating method of partial smoke extraction system for the escaping passengers.

Avionics, a type of embedded system, requires high safety and reliability. Failure of avionics equipment can have a significant impact on aircraft operations and, in the worst case, could result in loss of life for pilots and passengers. In this paper, we propose a Built-In-Test (hereafter referred to as BIT) design technique that can detect possible faults in avionics equipments in order to increase the reliability of avionics system and a design that can improve the Mean Time Between Failure (hereafter: MTBF) and applied it to real aviation electronic equipment to improve reliability.

This study shows the developing process of the risk assessment models for railway casualty accidents. To evaluate the risks of these accidents, the hazardous events and the hazardous factors were identified by the review of the accident history and engineering interpretation of the accident behavior. The frequency of each hazardous event was evaluated from the historical accident data and structured expert judgments by using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) technique. In addition, to assess the severity of each hazardous event, the ETA (Event Tree Analysis) technique and other safety techniques were applied. The risk assessment models developed can be effectively utilized in defining the risk reduction measures in connection with the option analysis.
