In this paper, we introduce the implementation of driver fatigue monitering system and its result. Input video device is selected commercially available web-cam camera. Haar transform is used to face detection and adopted illumination normalization is used for arbitrary illumination conditions. Facial image through illumination normalization is extracted using Haar face features easily. Eye candidate area through illumination normalization can be reduced by anthropometric measurement and eye detection is performed by PCA and Circle Mask mixture model. This methods achieve robust eye detection on arbitrary illumination changing conditions. Drowsiness state is determined by the level on illumination normalize eye images by a simple calculation. Our system alarms and operates seatbelt on vibration through controller area network(CAN) when the driver's doze level is detected. Our algorithm is implemented with low computation complexity and high recognition rate. We achieve 97% of correct detection rate through in-car environment experiments.

기존의 전동휠체어를 사용하는 약자 또는 중증 장애인 등 지체(肢體)가 불편한 사람들이 휠체어 사용 시 생기는 문제점을 해소할 목적으로 시작되었다. 이는 전동휠체어가 보행 기구임에도 자동차에 준하는 교통사고에 대해 무방비하게 노출되고, 중증 장애인에 대한 이동권 보장이 아직 미흡하여 생기는 문제이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제로 인한 불편함을 해소하고자 아이트래킹을 이용한 스마트 전동휠체어 기술을 적용하고자 한다. 루게릭병 등으로 인해 지체(肢體)의 움직임에 제한이 있는 사람들에게 보호자가 밀어주는 휠체어에 의존하는 것이 아닌 Eye-Tracker를 이용한 시선 추적(Eye-Tracking) 기술로 휠체어 동작이 가능하다. Web-Cam과 라즈베리 파이를 통해 얻은 전·후·좌·우의 영상정보를 디스플레이 화면에 송출한다. 그 후 Eye-Tracking 기술을 이용해 디스플레이 화면에 표시된 전·후·좌·우 이동에 관한 UI(User Interface)룰 사용자가 송출된 영상을 보면서 눈의 움직임만으로 선택해 휠체어의 방향을 제어한다. 또한 전동휠체어의 조작 실수로 다른 행인 또는 장애물과 충돌하는 문제점을 초음파 센서를 이용하여 일정 거리 내에 사물이나 사람이 있을 경우 디스플레이 화면에 경고표시 및 경고음, 각 초음파 센서 위치에 맞는 LED작동으로 사용자들에게 추돌 위험경고와 함께 장애물의 위치파악이 가능하도록 한다. 따라서 스마트 전동휠체어를 통하여 수동적인 움직임이 아닌 능동적이고, 초음파 센서로 인해 안전한 이동이 가능하게 한다.

항공 산업의 발전으로 개인의 해외여행의 부담이 낮아져 각국의 왕래가 많아지고 있으며 사람들이 느끼는 국가 간 거리감이 크게 축소되고 있다. 또한, 화물의 운송이 활발해지며 이와 함께 화물 항공 물류량이 크게 늘어가고 있다. 항공물류 절차 중 화물적재는 사람들이 작업하고 적재 실수로 인한 사고들이 발생하는 것을 알고 이를 개선하고자 본 연구를 선정하게 되었다. 본 연구를 통해 구현할 '항공기 자동 중량평형 알림 시스템'은 평형 상태일 때 항공기 화물실 각 위치의 무게를 측정하고 적정 평형 값을 계산해 스크린에 출력하고 적정 평형 한계를 초과할 경우 경고음과 스크린을 통해 적정 평형이 아님을 알리는 방식으로 작동된다. 이러한 방식을 통해 조종사와 운항관리사, Load Master들이 잘못된 적재로 인한 화물의 위치를 수정하여 화물적재 과정의 안전핀 역할을 할 수 있다. 따라서 우리는 과제 개발에 따른 기대효과 로 항공사에서 여객기, 대형 수송기 등에 시스템을 추가하여 평형으로 인한 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있다.

소방청 국정감사에서 2020년 전국 자동화재속보설비 화재신고 32,764건 가운데 32,685건이 오작동으로 출동해 소방서 출동의 99.8%가 헛걸음이었다. 그리고 화재가 발생할 경우 화재경보장치와 대피경로를 안내하는 비상등이 미흡하고, 화재 연기가 제거되지 않아 대피가 힘들어질 뿐만 아니라 미처 대피 못한 인원을 파악하는 등의 신속한 대처가 힘들다. 본 논문은 화재 상황에서 피해를 최소화하기 위한 '스마트 화재 안전 시스템' 기술을 제안한다. 화재가 발생할 경우, 대피 경로를 안내하는 유도등 작동 및 경보음과 LED의 작동으로 화재발생을 경고하여 신속한 대처를 할 수 있게 도와주고, 문과 창문의 자동 개방 및 환기팬 작동으로 인한 유해가스를 환기시켜 준다. 그리고 스프링클러 작동과 소화제를 자동 분사하여 화재의 번짐 등 2차 피해를 예방하여 준다. 또한, 자동 신고 기능으로 더욱 빠르게 화재를 진압할 수 있게 도와주기 때문에 피해를 최소화할 것이다.

A ship can be considered as a large human-machine system and the interaction between worker and system affects the work performance and its efficiency. In the bridge if a ship, there exist many auditory signals as well as visual signals. However, only a few studies have been performed related to human recognition to alarm systems in the bridge. In this study, auditory icons and abstract sounds are compared to find more effective means if alarm systems. The study result shows that auditory icons are recognized faster than n abstract sounds. The result is expected to be use as a basic data for developing performance criteria q auditory display inside bridge and for designing integrated ship bridge alarm system.

At the current stage of a semi-autonomous vehicle, there are situations in which the vehicle has to request take-over control to the driver quickly. However, current self-driving cars use only simple messages and warning sounds to notify drivers when handing over control, so they do not adequately convey considerations of individual characteristics or explanations of various emergent situations. This study investigated how visual and auditory information and the efficacy of drivers in self-driving cars can improve efficient take-over requests between the car and the driver. We found that there were significant differences in driver's cognitive load, reliability, safety, usability, and usefulness according to the combination of three visual and auditory information provided in the experiment of the take-over request situation. The results of this study are expected to help design self-driving vehicles that can communicate more safely and efficiently with drivers in urgent control transition situations.

In this paper, research was conducted to prevent various safety accidents that may occur from infant carriages carrying children and to make the use of infant carriages easier. In order to prevent the baby car from running without protection, a brake function is installed on the baby car wheels using a pressure sensor and a servo motor. Then, a pressure sensor and LCD are used to determine whether the seat belt is fastened to prevent the child from falling out of the baby car. In addition, it was designed to use LCD and LED to turn on a warning light when the temperature and humidity exceed a certain level, so that infants can be in a comfortable environment when using the baby car.

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

In this paper, a safe driving assistance system is proposed by detecting the status of driver's doze based on face and eye detection. By the level of the fatigue, safe driving system alarms or set the seatbelt on vibration. To reduce the effect of backward light and too strong solar light which cause a decrease of face and eye detection rate and false fatigue detection, post processing techniques like image equalization are used. Haar transform and PCA are used for face detection. By using the statistic of the face and eye structural ratio of normal Koreans, we can reduce the eye candidate area in the face, which results in reduction of the computational load. We also propose a new eye status detection algorithm based on Hough transform and eye width-height ratio, which are used to detect eye's blinking status which decides doze level by measuring the blinking period. The system alarms and operates seatbelt on vibration through controller area network(CAN) when the driver's doze level is detected. In this paper, four algorithms are implemented and proposed algorithm is made based on the probability model and we achieves 84.88% of correct detection rate through indoor and in-car environment experiments. And also we achieves 69.81% of detection rate which is better result than that of other algorithms using IR camera.

This study was performed to investigate the currents status of the sexual assaults on women public transportation users and to provide solutions in order to provide safe transportation services to women. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with career women in Gyeonggi-do. The main purpose of the interview was to understand their experiences about sexual assaults while using public transport and to investigate the extent to which their experiences affected their transportation-related behaviors. The effects of various related transport policies on women behaviors were also analyzed by estimating structural equation models. The results showed that among them, CCTV, accessible warning bells, and more police presence seemed to be more effective, but that woman-only sections were not as effective as others in reducing the number of crimes. The results implied that individual subjective norms and their perceived behavioral control, behavior intention were important factors. Based on these results, we recommended additional policies more effective in sexual crime reduction.
