This paper presents the stress and deformation behaviors using the finite element method as a function of the thickness of the helmets without the bead frames on the top of the shell structure. The helmet that would provide head and neck protections without causing discomfort to the user when it was worn for long periods of time should be manufactured for increasing the safety and impact energy absorption. The FEM computed results show that when the impulsive force is applied on the top surface of a helmet, the maximum stress and strain have been occurred around the position of an applied impact force, which may lead to the initial failure on the top surface of the helmet shell. As the helmet thickness is decreased from 4mm to 2mm, the impact energy absorbing rate is radically increased, and the maximum stress of the helmet is increased over the tensile strength, 54.3MPa of the thermoplastic material. Thus, the top surface of the helmet should be supported by a bead frame and increased thickness of the shell structure.

In this paper, we describe the architectural design, unit component hardware design and core software design(Helmet Pose Tracking Software and Terrain Elevation Data Correction Software) of IHDS(Intelligent Helmet Display System), and describe the results of unit test and integration test. According to the trend of the latest helmet display system, the specifications which includes 3D map display, FLIR(Forward Looking Infra-Red) display, hybrid helmet pose tracking, visor reflection type of binocular optical system, NVC(Night Vision Camera) display, lightweight composite helmet shell were applied to the design. Especially, we proposed unique design concepts such as the automatic correction of altitude error of 3D map data, high precision image registration, multi-color lighting optical system, transmissive image emitting surface using diffraction optical element, tracking camera minimizing latency time of helmet pose estimation and air pockets for helmet fixation on head. After completing the prototype of all system components, unit tests and system integration tests were performed to verify the functions and performance.

현재 전동 킥보드 헬멧 미착용으로 인한 사고가 끊임없이 야기되고 있다. 개인형 이동장치 이용자 수가 증가함에 따라 법 개정을 통하여 헬멧 착용이 의무 사항이지만 여전히 낮은 착용률을 나타내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 모든 공유 킥보드 회사에서 사용 가능한 딥러닝 기반의 전동킥보드 헬멧 착용 인식시스템을 제시한다. 타 공유 전동킥보드 회사 앱에서 본 논문의 결과물을 사용할 때는 사용자가 타사 앱에서 헬멧 인식 요청 시 자사 앱에서 헬멧 착용 여부를 인식하여 결과를 전송한다. 자사 앱 사용자는 인식 기록을 조회할 수 있고, 타사 관리자는 사용자의 정보를 조회 및 관리할 수 있다. 본 시스템을 통해 전동킥보드 이용 시 헬멧 착용을 장려하여 착용률 증가와 사고 시 인명피해 감소를 기대한다.

This study is to investigate the needs for the cool motorcycle helmet and the factors affecting the purchasing intention of cool helmet. The convenient sampling from motorcycle clubs were conducted during 5/20/2014~5/28/2014 on Google DAX. As a result, 197 participants were surveyed. The main reasons of sensing unpleasant feeling wearing helmet were identified as 'hot and uncomfortable feeling' and 'it ruins hair style'. The mean score expressed in terms of five point scale showed that the needs for cool helmet was 3.9 and the purchasing intention of cool helmet was 3.6, respectively. The significant factors influencing the purchasing intention of cool helmet were identified as 'the needs for cool helmet' (odds ratio=6.52) and 'extra paying intention for cool helmet' (odds ratio=1.77). The main reasons of sensing unpleasant feeling wearing helmet were similar to the previous research. However, we can expect that the initial target market for cool helmet would be the low end (less than \40,000 of extra paying intention) or the high end (more than \100,000 of extra paying intention). The main contribution of this study is dealing with the topics related to the purchasing intention of the cool helmet.

This paper presents the numerical study on the strength safety and displacement behaviors of a helmet, which is to protect impact forces and to absorb the impact energy. Four different helmet models including a bead frame and a corrugation damper have been analyzed for the stress and the displacement characteristics by using the finite element method. The computed FEM results show that the bead frame on the summit area of the helmet is very useful to increase the strength safety of the helmet, and the corrugation damper on the lower part of the helmet may increase the energy absorption capacity. Thus, this paper recommends the bead frame and the corrugation damper as new design elements of the helmets.

In this paper, the strength analysis has been presented for the stress and strain by using the finite element method for various shell models of the helmets. The advanced helmet that would provide head protection without causing discomfort to the user when it was worn for long periods of time should be manufactured for increasing the safety and workability of the workers. We need a safe, comfortable and light weight of the helmet shell structure. Thus, the helmets had to stand up to the most rigorous conditions encountered for the fire and gas explosion. The FEM computed results show that when the impulsive force is applied on the summit area of a helmet shell structure, the maximum stress and strain have been occurred around the position of an applied impact force, which may lead to the initial failure on the summit of the helmet shell. Thus, the summit area of the helmet shell should be supported by a bead frame and increased thickness of the bead. But the overall thickness of the helmet is to decrease for the light weight of a helmet.

최근 전동 킥보드 사용량이 크게 늘었으나, 다른 이동수단 대비 낮은 안정성과 사용자들의 헬멧 착용에 대한 인식 부족으로 인해 사고의 위험성이 큰 상황이다. 이에 대하여 정부는 헬멧 착용을 강제하는 법률을 제정하였으나, 경찰력의 한계에 따른 단속 미비로 여전히 헬멧 착용율은 낮다. 본 연구는 YOLO v3 알고리즘을 통해 학습시킨 딥러닝 모델을 활용하여 도로 상황을 촬영한 동영상 내에서 헬멧 착용자와 미착용자를 구분하고 미착용자 탐지 시 알람을 제공하는 시스템을 제시한다. 기존 YOLO 알고리즘 및 신경망을 적용하되, 전동 킥보드 데이터를 새로 수집하고 클래스를 구분하여 학습시켰다. 소수의 탐지 및 분류 오류를 보정하기 위해, 히스토그램 간 유사도를 측정해 최종적으로 객체를 추적 및 확정하고, 객체에 대한 헬멧 착용 여부를 통계적으로 확인한다.

This study was a prior study to establish the shelf life of bulletproof helmets, considered the aging factor of bulletproof helmets. To estimate the aging factor of bulletproof helmets, we established a hypothesis that the 'temperature' factor would have the greatest impact on the shelf life of the bulletproof helmet, considering the environmental treatment of the American army's bulletproof helmet's materials. To verify the hypothesis, high temperature acceleration environmental treatment of bulletproof helmets was performed, and the Arrhenius formula was applied to calculate the shelf life. The study result confirmed the negative correlation between bulletproof performance and high temperature, and the influence of temperature as an aging factor was not significant by deriving life by using the Arrhenius model. The limitation of this study is that we couldn't obtain enough samples due to the specificity (miliary supplies) of the test subjects. However, given that the life-related research on bulletproof helmets has not been carried out, this research has great implications and could be used as a reference for improving the Korean Army's bulletproof helmet specifications.

In this paper, the stress and strain characteristics of a helmet shell structure have been analyzed by using the finite element method and Taguchi's design method as functions of the material properties, the thickness of a helmet, the thickness and the number of a bead frame. The optimized design of the helmets for a firefighter and a gas worker is very important for increasing the strength safety and an impact energy absorption capacity of a helmet shell due to an impulsive external force. Thus, the optimized design data of the helmet indicated that the uniform thickness of a helmet shell may be reduced for reducing the total weight of a helmet and increasing the strain energy absorption rate, but the thickness and the number of a bead frame would be increased for increasing the impact strength of the helmet.

This study is on the color expression of 100 male bike helmet products examining color image scale with high preference, PCCS color system applied color analysis and influence of color in decision making. The targets are all domestically distributed male bike helmets. The image scale was divided into 4 sections (Soft, Hard, Dynamic and Static) by color, and color image scale was analyzed to top 10 priority products. And analysis according to PCCS color system was made. Finally, questionnaire survey was carried out to analyze the influence of color on purchase decision making. The questionnaire survey was carried out to male in 20s~50s who were the member of 18 bike clubs in S agent in Seoul. 414 out of 422 sheets except for 8 insufficient ones were used. The results can be divided into 3.
