Identifying the effect of turning characteristics on collision avoidance for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) can provide a key to avoid the collision of MASS. The purpose of this study was to derive a method to identify the effect of turning characteristics, which can be changed by various rudder angles and the ship's speed, on collision avoidance. The turning circle was observed using a mathematical model of a 161-meter-long ship, and it was analyzed that the turning circle had an effect on collision avoidance through numerical simulations of collision avoidance for four collision situations of two ships. The evaluation results using the two variables, the minimum relative distance between two ships and the minimum time at the minimum relative distance, demonstrated that the rudder angle has a major influence on the change of the minimum relative distance, and the ship's speed has a major influence on the change of the minimum time. The evaluation method proposed in this study was expected to be applicable to collision avoidance as a measures in remote control of MASS.

A minimum turning circle test of vehicles is operated by using Real-Time Kinematic(RTK) surveying method which enhances the precision of the Global Positioning System(GPS). A procedure of the conventional method to obtain results is to take post processing after the test. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure results in an instant. This paper introduces developed process and equipment that can immediately obtain results after the minimum turning test without post processing.

An optimum configuration of the hybrid/dual swirl jet combustor for a micro-gas turbine was investigated experimentally. Location of pilot nozzle, angle and direction of swirler vane were varied systematically as main parameters under the conditions of constant thermal load. The results showed that the variation in locations of inner fuel nozzle and pilot burner resulted in significant change in flame shape and swirl intensity due to the changes in recirculating flow pattern and minimum flow area near burner exit, in particular, with the significant reduction of CO emission near lean-flammability limit. In addition, it was observed that the co-swirl configuration produced less CO and NOx emissions compared to the counter-swirl configuration.

본 연구에서는 농작업지내 모서리 점을 이용하여 자율주행 트랙터의 경로점을 생성하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 작업지는 직사각형의 형태에서 거리가 긴 방향으로 직선주행 경로로 하고, 직선경로의 수는 작업폭에 의해 결정되며 홀수 또는 짝수 개일 수 있다. 또한 TM좌표계에서 직선주행 경로의 기울기는 양수 또는 음수 일 수 있으며, 선회시 전체적으로 좌회전 또는 우회전하는 경우로 구분하여, 즉 총 8가지의 경우에 대하여 조건이 주어지면 경로점을 구할 수 있도록 프로그램하였다. 선회를 위한 곡선경로 생성에는 트랙터의 최소 회전반경 데이터를 사용하였으며, 이때 새로 진입할 다음 경로가 충분히 떨어져 있는 경우에는 선회 구간에서도 직선 경로 구간이 생길 수 있음을 고려하였다. 한 주기의 경로점은 직선 경로 구간의 시작점과 끝점, 선회 구간의 시작점과 끝점, 다음 직선경로로 진입을 위해 선회하기 직전까지의 직선 구간에 대한 시작점과 끝점 등 6가지의 경우로 구분할 수 있다. 이때 어떤 끝점 경로점은 다음 조작 구간의 시작점 경로점이 되므로 최종적인 경로점 데이터는 4개가 된다. 여기서, 첫 번째 경로점 생성에서는 직선구간 진입을 위한 선회구간의 시작점과 끝점은 제외하였으며, 작업지로 진입할 수 있는 입구와 출구는 동일한 것으로 가정하여, 작업이 완료되는 지점에서 선회하여 다시 출발점으로 돌아올 수 있도록 추가 구성하였다. 실제 상황에서는 직선주행 경로의 수가 정수가 되지 않을 수 있으며, 이때는 작업 구간이 약간씩 오버랩되도록 작업폭을 조정하여 경로의 수가 항상 정수가 되도록 하였다. 알고리즘 평가에 사용된 작업 패턴은 관행적인 방법으로서 작업 포장을 반으로 나누어 8자형 패턴을 이용하였다.

In most countries, instrument flight procedures are designed by applying one of the following standards: the International Aviation Organization's DOC 8168, Air Navigation Services and Operation Procedures (PANS-OPS), or the US Federal Aviation Administration's TERPS, Terminal Procedures. In particular, the circling approach procedure has many differences between the two standards, and the US terminal procedure (TERPS) has become more complicated since 2013 by applying expanded standards depending on altitude. The circling approach procedures are more risky than straight-in approach procedures because it involves maneuvering the aircraft close to the ground at low energy for landing. In order to accurately understand these differences, this study provides to distinguish by what criteria the circling approach procedure is designed according to individual domestic airports in Korea, to calculate the radius for the range of circling approach areas that guarantee minimum obstacle avoidance during circling approach maneuvers, and to present methods for performing safe circling approach procedures.

This paper considers subway routing problem. Given a schedule of train to be routed by a railway stock, the routing problem determines a sequence of trains while satisfying turnaround time and maintenance restrictions. Generally, the solution of routing problem is generated from set partition formulation solved by column generation method, a typical integer programming approach for train-set. However, we find the characteristics of metropolitan subway which has a simple rail network, a few end stations and 13 departure-arrival patterns. We reflect a turn-around constraint due to spatial limitations has no existence in conventional railroad. Our objective is to minimize the number of daily train-sets. In this paper, we develop two basic techniques that solve the subway routing problem in a reasonable time. In first stage, we formulate the routing problem as a Min-cost-flow problem. Then, in the second stage, we attempt to normalize the distance covered to each routes and reduce the travel distance using our heuristic approach. Applied to the current daily timetable, we could find the subway routings, which is an approximately 14% improvement on the number of train-sets reducing 15% of maximum traveling distance and 8% of the standard deviation.

As the number of pedestrian accident increases, the reconstruction of an accident becomes important to find the source of the fault. Generally, accidents are reconstructed by the intuition of experts or primitive physics. A reconstruction method is proposed using sophisticated optimization technology. At first, a dynamic simulation model is established for the accident environment. Occupant analysis for automobile crashworthiness is employed. The situation before an accident is identified by optimization. The impact velocity and the position of the pedestrian are utilized as design variables. The design variables are found by minimizing the difference between the simulation and the real accident. The optimization process is performed by linking an occupant analysis program MADYMO to an optimization program VisualDOC. Since the involved analysis is dynamics and highly nonlinear, response surface method is selected for the optimization process. Problems are solved for various situations.

This paper describes development of 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) Electric Vehicle (EV) based driving control algorithm for severe driving situation such as icy road or disturbance. The proposed control algorithm consists three parts : a supervisory controller, an upper-level controller and optimal torque vectoring controller. The supervisory controller determines desired dynamics with cornering stiffness estimator using recursive least square. The upper-level controller determines longitudinal force and yaw moment using sliding mode control. The yaw moment, particularly, is calculated by integration of a side-slip angle and yaw rate for the performance and robustness benefits. The optimal torque vectoring controller determines the optimal torques each wheel using control allocation method. The numerical simulation studies have been conducted to evaluated the proposed driving control algorithm. It has been shown from simulation studies that vehicle maneuverability and lateral stability performance can be significantly improved by the proposed driving controller in severe driving situations.

Performance of injector equiped with screw type swirler which is suitable for supersonic cruise engine combustor was investigated using theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods. Based on discharge coefficient and spray angle which represent the performance of injectors, the geometrical parameters which affect these performance parameters were defined, control group injectors were designed, and variation of performance parameters according to the geometrical parameters were examined. Within the defined range, measured value of performance of injectors was smaller than result of theoretical prediction, and prediction result from numerical simulation using VOF method agreed with the result of experiments very well. The viscous barrier was not observed, and minimum discharge coefficient and maximum spray angle, 0.05 and 104 respectively, was obtained for this type of injector.
