This paper presents an Integrated Risk Management System (IRMS), which is designed to integrate longitudinal and lateral collision avoidance systems. Indices representing longitudinal and lateral collision risks are designed. From the designed indices, an integrated control strategy is designed. A collision avoidance algorithm is designed to assist the driver in avoiding collisions by using a vehicle-driver-controller integrated linear model. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated via computer simulations conducted using the vehicle dynamics software CARSIM and Matlab/Simulink.

Occupant protection in the side impact of a vehicle becomes one of the most important issues today. So, to reduce development time and cost, it needs test equipment which conducts an accurate simulation of the side impact crash. This paper describes a new test method for side impact, which utilizes a standard 12inch-HYGE-type sled facility. If a side impact sled test can simulate vehicle intrusion very well, it will contribute to develop full-scale side impact crash performance. The newly developed sled test method enables simulation for dummy motion, injury, door velocity, trim crack, and vehicle structure to be accurate. Ant also this sled test method can be applied to the development of side air-bag.

95년도 한국 교통사고 통계에 의하면 사망자의 73%가 두부(Head), 경부(Neck) 에 손상을 입고 있으며 부상자의 22%는 두부에 20%는 경부에 부상을 입고 있다. 사고 형태로도 여러 사고 형태중 고속도로 혹은 시내주행시 후면 충돌에 의한 사고 가 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 일반적으로 사용중인 Head Restraint 시스템의 효과와 그 사용방법에 따라서 인체에 미치는 영향을 충돌 모의 실험이 가능한 DYNAMAN Package를 사용하여 고찰하였다. 충돌시험 속도인 30mph 후방 충돌 Test 시 Head Restraunt(H/R)을 사용하지 않을 경우는 Head Injury Criterion(HIC)이 한계치 1000 을 상회하는 것은 경추의신전 한계(extension)를 넘어 사망 혹은 하반신 마비의 가능성이 매우 높으며, H/R을 사용하고 있다고 해도 머리높이까지 충분히 높지 않거나 머리와의 거리가 멀 경우 경추의 신전 한계를 넘어 경부의 손상 가능성을 높여 주고 있다. 그러므로 제작자는 머리 높이까지 충분히 구속이 가능한 H/R을 설계 제작하여야 하겠고, 사용자는 H/R을 적절한 위치까지(머리높이)조절하여 하용하도록 하며 머리와의 거리 또한 되도록 가깝게 위치하도록 H/R 의 각도를 조절하여 경미한 후면 충돌시에도 머리보다 H/R을 넘어 경부에 부상을 입지않도록 게몽되어 계몽되어야 한다.

A water-flow test for acceptance verification is carried out for a nonimpinging-type injector prior to the design-performance verification of hydrazine thruster under development. The injector used in the experiment is to be equipped on the hydrazine thruster producing 70 N of nominal thrust at an inlet pressure of 24.6 $kg_f/cm^2$. It is observed that there exist varying characteristics of atomization among the injector-nozzle orifices caused by a fabrication error which can be judged from a microscopic standpoint. On the other hand, all of the injector orifices are placed within the design criteria in an injection-angle performance.

멀티에이전트 시스템(MAS: Multi-Agent System)에서 에이전트는 각자의 목표 달성을 위해 주위 에이전트들과의 상호작용을 통해 목표의 충돌이 없는 일치 상황에 도달하도록 설계되어야 한다. 멀티에이전트 시스템에서 에이전트들 사이의 목표 충돌은 일반적으로 발생 가능한 상황이고, 어떤 에이전트가 다른 에이전트에 관한 모든 지식을 가진다는 것은 불가능하기 때문에 상대방에 관한 부분적인 지식만을 가진 상황에서 목표 충돌을 해결할 수 있는 협상은 중요하다. 본 논문은 멀티에이전트 시스템에서 믿음(Belief), 소망(Desire); 그리고 의도(Intention)을 에이전트 구조의 핵심 요소로 가정하고 이러한 구조를 가지는 BDI 에이전트를 논리 프로그래밍의 입장에서 표현한다. 또한 서로 다른 목표를 가진 BDI 에이전트들이 서로 협상하여 문제를 해결하는 과정에서 발생하는 에이전트들 상호간의 목표 충돌을 해결하는 방법을 제시하며, 이 방법의 효과성을 검증하기 위하여 JAVA와 PROLOG를 결합시킨 InterPROLOG 프로그래밍 언어로 구현하여 시험한다.

The concrete median barriers are the most popular safety appurtenance that can be installed on narrow medians and are effective in keeping uncontrolled vehicles from crossing into opposing lanes of traffic. It is necessary to install and maintain median barriers because it is very difficult to reserve enough room required for medians in KOREA. Also, concrete median barriers are accepted as the actual alternatives for median barriers, mostly because they require almost no maintenance even after serious collisions. Typical concrete median barriers are 810mm high and have 596mm high glare screens on top of them. However we have experienced a number of "climb" and "roll-over" accidents of heavy vehicles and most of all, there have been some serious accidents caused by the part of broken glare screens. So the improvement study of concrete median barriers started. Prior to this study, a new type of concrete median barrier was suggested which is 1,270mm high and has no glare screens on top of it. So it was required to compare the properties of various types of concrete median barriers including the new type to find the optimal type of concrete median barrier. In this study, we have evaluated the characteristics of four types of concrete median barriers (New Jersey type, F type, constant slope type, and wall type). We have performed many computer simulations for the evaluation of the crashworthiness of them, and through the simulations we have tried to find a proper type of concrete median barrier. Through the computer simulations, we evaluated the structural stability and safety of the four types of concrete median barriers. We confirmed the structural stability and safety of them But in regard to the probability of "roll-over" of heavy vehicles, the higher concrete median barriers showed better performances than the lower. As the result of this study a new type of concrete median barrier was recommended.

Accidents involving wheelchair accessible vehicles have been frequently occurring since the introduction of these vehicles in the Korean market. However, detailed regulations, which are required to ensure the safety of the wheel-chair occupants, are unavailable. In this study, both domestic and international vehicle safety regulations are analyzed in order to select the regulations that are similar to the transportation environment of Korea. Sled tests with an actual wheel-chair accessible vehicle were carried out based on the analyzed regulation requirements, as well as the values of the HIC, belt loads, dummy movements, and wheelchair movements. The test results showed that the movements of the dummy and the wheelchair did not meet the criteria of the regulation due to the improper positioning of the restraint systems.

During crash of a vehicle, most of the kinetic energy of the driver is absorbed by the steering system. The deformation characteristics of the steering system has significant effects on the injury of the driver. A part of the energy is absorbed by the steering wheel and another part by the collapsable steering column. It is believed that strength distribution between the wheel and the column has an important effect on the injury of the driver. A design criterion is suggested for steering wheels for maximum protection of drivers. Tagushi method is used to analyse the effects of design parameters.

It is possible to set up the Roadside Barrier which is suitable for Performance Evaluation Criteria by domestic standard. But a number of section of expressway roadside have old guardrail that was installed before reform the guideline. These poor performance guardrails threaten driver's life. There is lots of difficult problem to change old guardrails that are installed 2,777km in expressway of whole road side at the same time. Especially budget problem. The purpose of study is to develop performance improvement guardrails by the minimum reinforcement. In this study, guardrail improvement method(SB1, 3, 5 grade) is developed through crash simulation using LS-DYNA 3D and vehicle crash test. And it's expected not only to decrease of collision accident but to increase safe level. Of course one thing that can't be missing is to reduce a lot of budget of guardrail change.
