FirstNet는 2012년에 출범하여 미 전역에 단일의 공공안전용 브로드밴드 네트워크 (NPSBN) 구축을 추진하고 있다. 출범과 동시에 700 MHz 대역에 20 MHz 대역폭이 할당되고 미화 70억불의 예산이 책정되었다. 그리고 망구축을 PS-LTE를 기반으로 하되, 추진 일정상 공공안전의 요구사항을 모두 만족하지는 못 하기 때문에 미션크리티컬 음성을 제외하고 미션크리티컬 데이터를 위주로 하는 기능을 정의하였다. 망 구조는 네트워크 코어가 중앙에 위치하며, 지역에 RAN 위주의 장비들이 배치되게 된다. 지방정부가 지역에 배치될 장비와 시설을 구축할 것이며 이를 위하여 FirstNet는 지방정부와 긴밀하게 협의를 추진하고 있다. 현재 RFP 에 앞서 RFI를 진행하고 있다. 2015년에 RFP를 완성하고 2016년에 네트워크 코어를 구축할 예정이다. 그리고 이전에 BTOP PSBN 프로그램으로 추진되고 있던 일곱 개의 프로젝트에 대하여 FirstNet 의 PS-LTE 망과의 호환성과 협조를 보장하는 조건으로 주파수 사용 협상을 추진하여 다섯 개의 프로젝트와 협상을 완료했으며, 두 개의 프로젝트는 중지시켰다. 이중 가장 규모가 큰 프로젝트는 LA-RICS PSBN으로서 231 국의 eNodeB가 시설되며 2015년 2사분기에 개통될 예정이다. 이 시설을 활용하여 2차 재난대응기관의 이용, QoS (서비스 품질), 우선순위/선취에 대하여 분석될 예정이다.

Using current evacuation methods, a crew describes the physical location of an accident and guides evacuation using alarms and emergency guide lights. However, in case of an accident on a large and complex building, an intelligent and effective emergency evacuation system is required to ensure the safety of evacuees. Therefore, several studies have been performed on intelligent path finding and emergency evacuation algorithms which are centralized guidance methods using gathered data from distributed sensor nodes. However, another important aspect is effective rescue guidance in an emergency situation. So far, there has been no consideration on the efficient rescue guidance scheme. Therefore, this paper proposes the genetic algorithm based emergency rescue guidance method using distributed wireless sensor networks. Performance evaluation using a computer simulation shows that the proposed scheme guarantees efficient path finding. The fitness converges to the minimum value in reasonable time. The density of each exit node is remarkably decreased as well.

In this study, the summary and characteristics of WHO International Safe Community are examined and the activities for the establishment of safe city were analyzed targeting Samcheok City in Gangwon-do which prepares for the certification of the International Safe Community. And, based on the result, this study intends to present the direction of establishment and development of international safe city to improve the regional safety. First, for the establishment of safe city, measures and programs for vulnerable classes and accidential forms in the area must be developed and operated continuously. Second, continuous and systematic activities must be done by establishing combined network between regional government association and relative organ and resident association in the area. Third, public policies for establishing safe city so as to improve regional safety, such as enactment of relative si/do ordinance, etc, must be prepared so as to operate it systematically. Finally, through the various activities by establishing international network, education, publicity activities and various informations must be acquired.

Presently, all nations think importantly about an industry and environment. While importance of the environmental field is recognized and the natural environment preservation is importantly regarded, importance of the advanced prevention of the natural disaster and disaster are emphasized. By using the small sensor, the Ubiquitous Sensor Network obtains and processes a neighboring information. And the information is provided through the air interface to the other sensor. Presently, the several kinds of disasters and society safety accident increase around the world. In this paper, the intelligent crisis management strategy and the application field which uses the sensor network technology of the IT based so that nations can go on living safely are inquired.

This study identified terminologies related to the proximity and frequency of disaster by social network analysis (SNA) and text mining, and then expressed the outcome into a mind map. The termdocument matrix of text mining was utilized for the terminology proximity analysis, and the SNA closeness centrality was calculated to organically express the relationship of the terminologies through a mind map. By analyzing terminology proximity and selecting disaster response-related terminologies, this study identified the closest field among all the disaster response fields to disaster response and the core terms in each disaster response field. This disaster response terminology analysis could be utilized in future core term-based terminology standardization, disaster-related knowledge accumulation and research, and application of various response scenario compositions, among others.

High incident of accidents in construction jobsite became a social problem. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), more than 60,000 fatal accidents occur each year in construction workplace worldwide. This number of accidents accounts for about 17 percent of all fatal workplace accidents. Especially, accidents from struck-by and falls comprise of over 60 percent of construction fatalities. This paper introduces a prototype of a received signal strength index (RSSI)-based safety monitoring to mitigate the potential accidents caused by falls and struck-by. Correlation between signal strength and noise index is examined to create the distance profile between a transmitter and a receiver. Throughout the distributed sensor nodes attached on potential hazardous objects, the proposed prototype envisions that construction workers with a tracker-tag can identify and monitor their current working environment in construction workplace, and early warning system can reduce the incidents of fatal accident in construction job site.

Over the past 20 years, there has been a rapid increase in the number and size of subway stations and underground structures worldwide, and the importance of safety for subway users has also continuously grown. Subway stations, due to their structural characteristics, have limited visibility and escape routes in disaster situations, posing a high risk of human casualties and economic losses. Therefore, an analysis of disaster vulnerabilities is essential not only for existing subway systems but also for deep underground facilities like GTX. This paper presents a case study applying a betweenness centrality-based disaster vulnerability analysis framework to the case of Gwanggyo Central Station. The analysis of Gwanggyo Central Station's base model and various disaster scenarios revealed that the betweenness centrality distribution is symmetrical, following the symmetrical spatial structure of the station, with high centrality concentrated in the central areas of basement levels one and two. These areas exhibited values more than 220% above the average, indicating a high likelihood of bottleneck phenomena during evacuation in disaster situations. To mitigate this vulnerability, scenarios were proposed to distribute evacuation flows concentrated in the central areas, enhancing the usability of peripheral areas as evacuation routes by connecting staircases continuously. This modification, when considered, showed a decrease in centrality concentration, confirming that the proposed addition of evacuation paths could effectively contribute to dispersing the flow of evacuation in Gwanggyo Central Station. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed framework for assessing evacuation vulnerability in enhancing subway station user safety and can be effectively applied in disaster response and management plans for major underground facilities.
