A systematic understanding of the effects of high-intensity flash sources on the human eye is strongly needed, not only for proper use of the sources, but for human eye health. In this study, the exposure-limit distance (ELD), indicating the minimal safe distance in case of seeing by chance a high-intensity flash, is proposed. The optical procedures to determine the ELD of a high-intensity flash are clarified, and the dependence of ELD on its parameters such as luminous intensity, duration, and radius of a flash are thoroughly investigated. From this investigation it is obvious that, while being weakly dependent on duration, the ELD is nearly proportional to the luminous intensity and the radius of a flash. The proposed ELD as an intuitive safety-indicating parameter is more useful and intuitive than the other characteristic parameters of a high-intensity flash. The ELD is expected to be an essential parameter as a safety indicator, to characterize the performance of a high-intensity flash and to promote the safety of the human eye.

AIS-ASM is one of the studies to provide a variety of maritime safety information as well as the information on a ship's position that is their own function, and AIS-ASM has been implemented with adjustment of the relevant regulations since 2004. However, it was reported that the increased use of ASM message on the existing AIS channel affects the part of the existing AIS own function such as the transmission of the ship's position and safe-related information. Also, seamless MSP service is difficult to provide at a low transmission rate of the existing AIS channel. This study aims to reduce the marine officer's workload through automating captain's mandatory reporting items using the one of the next maritime digital communication technology (ASM2.0). For this purpose, we designed and realized the ASM2.0 protocol through analyzing domestic regulations about passenger flight and AIS-ASM message.

By using text mining, we explore the factors responsible for an increase in SUV preference. We collected 32,679 posts related to SUVs from "Bobaedream," the largest online automobile community in South Korea, and applied the LDA topic model. While previous studies have explained the SUV boom as an individual's risk aversion strategy from crime, the result shows that the topic of 'Safety' appears to be an important factor in the SUV discourse in the context of a car accident and high-speed driving situation. To conclude, the consumption of SUVs in Korean society serves as a mean to prevent anxiety and danger to individuals when driving. We insist that decreasing social trust, caused by an increase in inequality, underlies the perception of risk on the road.

최근 식생활의 다양화와 식품 안전에 대한 관심 증가에 따라 식품 공장의 청정화와 작업장의 위생 관리에 대한 노력이 많이 이루어지고 있다. 그 중에 서도 농식품 분야에서는 최근 들어서 신선한 과일과 채소류를 식품소재로 이용한 신선편이 가공 농산물의 수요가 늘어나고 있다. IFPA(The International Fresh-cut Produce Association)의 정의에 따르면 신선편이 농식품은 박피되거나 절단되어져 신선함을 유지한 채로 소비자들에게 높은 영양과 편이성 및 풍미를 제공하는 포장형태의 100% 이용 가능한 과일 및 채소제품을 말한다. 이러한 신선편이 농식품은 식재료공급에 있어 안전성 및 편이성이 있으나 수확 후 처리시설에 대한 위생 개념이 도입되지 않고는 양질의 식재료를 공급하는 것은 어렵다. 그러나 신선편이 농식품은 살아있는 생체 조직으로 박피, 절단 등의 과정을 거치면서 세포가 파괴되어 급격한 품질 변화가 나타 날 수 있으며, 최소한의 비가열 가공공정만을 거치게 되므로 식품원료 내에 존재하는 미생물이 그대로 유지 될 수 밖에 없는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 또한 일반적으로 선선편이 제품의 가공과정에서 절단 처리시 표면에 묻어 있던 미생물이 과육 부위로 옮겨지면서 식품 세포 조직의 체액을 영양성분으로 활용하여 급격히 증식함으로서 식품의 변질을 일으키거나 섭취시 질병을 일으킬 수 있는 가능성이 있다. 특히, 신선편이 농식품 중에서 가장 많이 소비되는 엽채류는 수확 직후 잎 표면에 토양과 물에 의한 다양한 미생불이 부착되어 식품의 변질 가능성이 크다. 그러므로 농산물의 유통 및 보관단계에서 미생물 오염 가능성이 있기 때문에 신선편이 농식품은 원료 구입 후 제품 생산 및 포장에 이르는 과정에서 각 작업 단계별 위해요소를 분석하고, 식품 안전성을 확보하여 철저한 위생 관리가 중요하다. 따라서 본 자료는 농식품 작업장중 세척공정을 거치는 신선편이농산물과 세척공정을 거치지 않는 신선농식품 작업장에 대한 위생관리 및 관련 설비 기술 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 현재 운영중인 작업장을 중심으로 직접 현지 조사한 자료이다.

It may be reasonable to consider density per unit area over time rather than analyze traffic volume, which is simply the traffic volume per unit of time, in assessing the maritime traffic congestion of a certain area. This study contributes to the standardization of maritime traffic congestion assessment methods for the maritime traffic safety diagnosis institute while seeking a new method to minimize evaluation error due to converted traffic volume per ship tonnage level. To solve this problem, a method to evaluate maritime traffic congestion by comparing the area occupied by a vessel with the area of its route using vessel identification data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) has been proposed. In this new model, it is possible to use actual data due to the development of information and communication technology, reducing conversion error while allowing for the evaluation of maritime traffic congestion by route.

Power plant is the important infrastructure to generate electricity. This plant in normally located next to river and seashore in order to take cooling water through intake. However, the plant is stopped when marine organism blocks the intake, and it caused damages by social and commercial. Therefore, air bubble barrier has been used to block marine organism in order to operate the plant properly. The aim of this study was to test the rates of cut off of floating substance by air bubble barrier to develop the facility for the plant. The test was conducted by current velocity, pressure of air, specific gravity of the substance and the layer of the barrier, and the result showed the blocking rates by the condition. It will be used as basic data to develop the air bubble barrier and to operate power plant properly from the marine organism.

The weapon system has developed by adding various functions because of the warfare change. And, an weapon system test set (WSTS) that is used to test and judge the condition of weapon system also deal with a lot of complex information. However, almost WSTS is developed on the basis of developer-centric. Because of it, it is hard to make a result by apprehending information on WSTS's display. Thus, I proposed a new display of WSTS by adapting the Ecological Interface Design(EID) Methodology to reduce operator's cognitive workload and assure safe testing. WSTS's Display is developed through Information Requirement and Work Domain Model as a result of Work Domain Analysis. The most powerful thing in the new display is that operator can identify his testing and status of WSTS directly. I expect that it reduces operator's cognitive workload and helps safe testing.

A ROUNDABOUT is more effective way to improve safety and prevent delays than signal intersection. ROUNDABOUT has been known highly safe treatment that could be used as a method to reduce conflicts between vehicles, to reduce travel speed in inner or approach of intersection, and to have no speed difference between drivers than intersection. In this study, the effective analysis on the installation of ROUNDABOUT was carried out using computer-based simulation tool VISSIM, in order to evaluate performance and safety of ROUNDABOUT and develope a warrant. In conclusion, the results indicated that there was remarkable increase of Y-intersection capacity and decrese of delay, and improvement of traffic safety. Finally, A nice feature of this study is to firstly attempt to use microscopic simulator to evaluate the effectiveness of ROUNDABOUT and suggest a passible operation boundary.

One of the effective countermeasures for preventing traffic accidents is to provide traffic safety warning information to drivers. Provision of warning information would lead to safer driving to avoid accident occurrence. This study investigated the effects of in-vehicle warning information on driver's behavior. A variety of warning information contents using text, sound, and pictograms were prepared for the field experiments. Individual vehicle speed and acceleration data, which represent quantitative drivers' behavior in response to in-vehicle warning information, were collected using differential global positioning systems (DGPS). Statistical analyses including ANOVA and Tukey's pairwise comparison were conducted. It is expected that the results could be invaluable for designing more effective warning information.
