We analyze the tag identification procedure of conventional EPC Class 1 RFID system and propose the fast anti-collision algorithm for the performance improvement of the system. In the proposed algorithm, the reader uses information of tag collisions and reduces unnecessary procedures of the conventional algorithm. We evaluate the performance of the proposed anti-collision algorithm and the conventional algorithm using mathematical analysis and simulation. According to the results, the fast anti-collision algorithm shows greatly better performance than conventional algorithm.

Tag collection is one of the major functions in RFID systems. In this paper, we propose a multichannel slotted-aloha anticollision protocol to mitigate the tag collision problem and improve tag collection performance in active RFID systems. In the proposed anticollision protocol, while an RFID reader transmits commands to multiple RFID tags via a common channel, it receives multiple tag responses over multiple channels simultaneously. We also implemented an active RFID system supporting the proposed anticollision protocol. In experiments with the implemented reader and 60 tags, the proposed dual-channel slotted-aloha anticollision protocol showed a large improvement in tag collection performance compared with the single-channel slotted-aloha anticollision protocol. With 60 tags, the average time spent on tag collection using the dual-channel anticollision protocol was 600.543 ms, which was 46.3% of the 1289.721 ms required using the single-channel anticollision protocol.

This paper proposes a collision prevention system for an agricultural unmanned helicopter. The collision prevention system consists of an obstacle detection system, a mapping algorithm, and a collision avoidance algorithm. The obstacle detection system based on a LiDAR sensor is implemented in the unmanned helicopter and acquires distance information of obstacles in real-time. Then, an obstacle mapping is carried out by combining the distance to the obstacles with attitude/location data of the unmanned helicopter. In order to prevent a collision, alert is activated to an operator based on the map when the vehicle approaches to the obstacles. Moreover, the developed collision prevention system is verified through flight test simulating a flight pattern aerial spraying.

This study analyzed the development status and applications of collision avoidance systems for mine safety management. The definitions of collision avoidance system used in Australia and USA were compared. Sensing technologies utilized in the collision avoidance systems were reviewed. In addition, several collision avoidance systems developed in oversea mining company, such as $MineAlert^{TM}$ Collision Awareness System, Cat $MineStar^{TM}$, and Intelligent Proximity Detection, were reviewed. In the domestic mining industry, no collision avoidance system was used. However, similar systems were utilized in the construction and railroad industry. Collision avoidance system can prevent unexpected collision accident and thus improve worker's safety in mine. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and apply sensors and system appropriate for the domestic mining environment via review of overseas collision avoidance system.

In this paper, we propose an efficient automatic control method for the collision avoidance of drones. In general, the drones are controlled by transmitting to the flight control (FC) module the received PWM signals transmitted from a RC controller which transduce movements of the knob into PWM signal. We implemented the collision avoidance module in-between receiver and FC module to monitor and change the throttle, pitch and roll control signals to avoid drone collision. In order to avoid the collision, a LiDAR distance sensor and a servo-motor are installed and periodically measure the obstacle distance within -45 degrees from 45 degrees in flight direction. If the collision is predicted, the received PWM signal is changed and transmitted to the FC module to prevent the collision. We applied our proposed method to a hexacopter and the experimental results show that the safety is improved because it can prevent the collision caused by the inadvertency or inexperienced maneuver.

RFID 시스템은 유통물류 분야를 비롯해 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있지만, RFID 시스템에서의 태그 및 리더 충돌로 인해 태그의 인식효율 및 인식속도의 감소가 RFID시스템의 확산에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본고에서는 RFID 시스템의 효율을 높이기 위한 태그 및 리더 충돌방지 알고리즘들을 소개한다. 특히, ISO 18000-6 Type C 수동형 RFID 시스템에서의 태그 및 리더 충돌방지 알고리즘에 대하여 집중적으로 알아본다.

The suspension bridge between Myodo and Gwangyang is located in the main navigation channel to Gwangyang Harbor. So, there is need for the collision protection against large vessels. In this paper, the method of risk analysis and non-linear numerical analysis are conducted to consider the ship collision effects. The results of risk analysis, the annual frequency of collapse is more than the acceptable frequency 0.0001. Therefore, as a ship collision protection, island protection with concrete block quay wall is planned. The ship collision force on the pylon is less than the lateral capacity of pylon from the nonlinear numerical analysis.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) 기술은 RF 신호를 사용하여 물품에 부착된 전자 태그(tag)를 인식하는 자동인식 기술이다. 이런 RFID 기술의 확산을 위해서는 다수의 태그를 빠르게 읽는 다중접속 방식에서 태그 간 충돌 문제를 해결 하는 충돌방지(anti-collision) 알고리즘이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 충돌 방지 알고리즘 중에서 트리 기반 메모리래스(tree based memoryless) 충돌방지 알고리즘 기반인 충돌 추적(collision tracking) 알고리즘을 개선한 RCT(Revised Collision Tracking) 방식을 제안한다. 그리고 기존의 충돌 추적 알고리즘과의 성능 비교를 통해 제안하는 방식의 성능을 증명한다.

확률적(stochastic) RFID 충돌방지 알고리즘은 둘 이상의 태그가 리더기의 인식범위 내에 있을 경우 태그들이 동시에 리더기의 질의에 응답함으로서 발생하는 충돌을 확률적으로 감소시켜, 정확하고 빠르게 다수의 태그를 인식하기 위한 알고리즘이다. 본 논문에서는 확률적 충돌방지 알고리즘 중 하나인 dynamic framed ALOHA를 기반으로 새로운 태그 수 추정 방법을 이용한 RFID 충돌 방지 알고리즘을 제안하였다.
