일반 가정이나 산업 현장에서 화재가 발생할 경우 인명 피해와 재산 피해가 막대하다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 막대한 피해를 막기 위하여 국가에서는 소화방재를 위한 법적 검토와 소방 안전교육 및 피난훈련을 실시하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 화제 현장에서의 초기 대응은 대부분 분말소화기에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 현재 새롭게 개발된 청정 소화약제를 활용한 고체에어로졸(fixed aerosol) 소화장치를 개발하여 화재 방지시스템을 개발하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고체에어로졸 소화장치의 활용에 있어서 불꽃감지센서 및 열 감지센서의 데이터를 활용할 수 있고, 화재 발생 현장에 대한 현장 데이터를 원격지에서 모니터링 할 수 있는 유무선통신기반의 제어기 모듈을 개발하여 원격지 화재 현장을 보다 효율적으로 대응할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

The Chemical Control Act of 2015 was enhanced to ensure the safe management of hazardous chemicals. In particular, there have been substantial changes in the standards for the installation and management of handling facilities for manufacturing and storing hazardous chemicals. However, some standards for handling facilities are difficult to implement due to a lack of physical space or because of safety accidents during facility improvements. Therefore, the Safety assessment system (SAS) has been operating for such facilities since 2018. This study developed a leakage trajectory evaluation module that can easily evaluate the outside of a dike for safety evaluation. We analyzed two case studies on a dike for hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid storage tanks with this module and suggest a reasonable plan for the facility. We believe that it will be possible to more easily submit SAS reports at chemical plants by using this evaluation module. This study is expected to contribute to the improvement of the safety design of hazardous chemical handling facilities.

A pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera-based monitoring system for efficient monitoring in the engine room of a vessel was designed. A number of places exist where traditional analog instruments are still used in vessel engine rooms, and blind spots closely related to safety exist, for which flooding or fire is a concern. A camera-based monitoring system that guarantees a wide range at a relatively fast cycle for these monitoring points can be an effective alternative to enhance the safety of a vessel. Therefore, a multiview monitoring system is proposed in which the functions of the existing PTZ camera are further strengthened using a software. The monitoring system comprises four modules: camera control, location registration, traversal control, and multiview image reconstruction. The effectiveness of the method was evaluated through a series of experiments in an engine room environment.

In this paper, the architecture of a safe stove with an automatic fire suppression function using a sound wave fire extinguisher has been proposed and developed for the first time. A microcontroller connected to a fire sensor detects and suppresses a fire by driving a fire extinguisher. The sound wave fire extinguisher is composed of a speaker and collimator, and is driven by a driver module including an audio amplifier. The attenuation of the sound wave is reduced by preventing the sound diffusion with an enclosure surrounding a stove. The frequency of the sound wave is set to 50 Hz, and the sound pressure of 93 dBA is measured at the distance of 0.5 m. It takes maximum 8 and 15 seconds to suppress the flame from 7-cc and 14-cc flammable liquid, respectively, which corresponds to 24% and 42% of the natural extinguishing time. Since the proposed safe stove is non-toxic and leaves no residues over the conventional ones, it would combine with various home appliances to suppress early-stage fires and prevent fire expansion.

화재발생 시 인명 안전을 위하여 초기의 화재감지가 매우 중요한 요인이다. 특히 도로터널, 지하철역사 등 광범위 폐쇄공간에서 연기에 의한 질식사 등 2차 피해의 발생위험이 높다. 이에 최근 광범위 공간에서 적외선 레이저를 활용한 원거리 연기검출 화재탐지기에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 레이저 기반 원거리 연기검출장치는 이격(100m 이상) 설치되는 레이저 발신기와 수신기의 레이저 포인트가 정확히 정합되어야 한다. 아울러, 레이저 발신기와 수신기 사이의 거리에 비례하여 레이저 초점의 이동거리가 매우 민감하게 변화하므로 이를 정확히 정합하기 위한 고정밀 제어장치가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 복수개의 레이저 발신모듈과 복수개의 조도센서(CdS)를 통해 초점의 정합을 자동 추적할 수 있는 알고리즘을 설계, 구현하였다. 이는 초기 레이저 초점의 설정과 이후 외부환경에 따른 초점의 틀어짐을 자동 보정하여 다양한 레이저 인식 장치에 적용될 것으로 사료된다.

Since the direct and indirect damage caused by the fire in the underground utility tunnel will cause great damage to society as a whole, it is necessary to make efforts to prevent and control it in advance. The most of the fires that occur in cables are caused by short circuits, earth leakage, ignition due to over-current, overheating of conductor connections, and ignition due to sparks caused by breakdown of insulators. In order to find the cause of fire at an early stage due to the characteristics of the underground utility tunnel and to prevent disasters and safety accidents, we are constantly managing it with a detection system using image analysis and making efforts. Among them, a case of developing a fire detection system using CCTV-based deep learning image analysis technology has been reported. However, CCTV needs to be supplemented because there are blind spots. Therefore, we would like to develop a high-performance acoustic-based deep learning model that can prevent fire by detecting the spark sound before spark occurs. In this study, we propose a method that can collect sound in underground utility tunnel environments using microphone sensor through development and experiment of prototype module. After arranging an acoustic sensor in the underground utility tunnel with a lot of condensation, it verifies whether data can be collected in real time without malfunction.

Recently, seismic Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) methods have been developed for process plants, such as gas plants, oil refineries, and chemical plants. The framework originated from the PSA of nuclear power plants, which aims to assess the risk of reactor core damage. The original PSA method was modified to adopt the characteristics of a process plant whose purpose is continuous operation without shutdown. Therefore, a fault tree, whose top event is shut down, was constructed and transformed into a Bayesian Network (BN), a probabilistic graph model, for efficient risk-informed decision-making. In this research, the fault tree-based BN from the previous research is further developed to consider the multi-hazard of earthquake-induced fire and explosion (EQ-induced F&E). For this purpose, an event tree describing the occurrence of fire and explosion from a release is first constructed and transformed into a BN. And then, this BN is connected to the previous BN model developed for seismic PSA. A virtual plot plan of a gas plant is introduced as a basis for the construction of the specific EQ-induced F&E BN to test the proposed BN framework. The paper demonstrates the method through two examples of risk-informed decision-making. In particular, the second example verifies how the proposed method can establish a repair and retrofit strategy when a shutdown occurs in a process plant.

고층빌딩, 지하역사와 같은 대형 복합건물은 건물 자체의 복합도 증가와 더불어 이에 따른 위험요소(hazard)의 증가를 가져오고 위험상황에 대처해야 할 소방관들의 대응기술 및 훈련도 고도화되어야 한다. 실제 화재현장, 특히 대형 복합건물에 대한 훈련은 비용, 시간뿐만 아니라 소방관 안전 확보라는 차원에서 불가능하며 반복적인 훈련이나 그 평가가 어렵다는 점에서 가상환경을 이용한 훈련 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 복합건물에 대한 소방관 팀 훈련 시스템 구현을 위한 가상환경의 설계 및 구현을 소개하고자 한다. 가상환경은 소방관의 훈련 및 평가, 팀 단위훈련을 제공하고 현실감 있는 훈련을 위하여 가상현실, 증강현실, 물리체험 모듈을 이용한 사용자 인터페이스를 제공한다. 가상환경 구축을 위하여 대상 건축물에 대한 3 차원 모델을 구축하고 도출된 발생 가능한 화재 시나리오에 대한 수치적 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 가상환경 및 훈련 시나리오에 반영하였다.
