K-drone delivery system is a commercial delivery system that ensures compliance with aviation safety. It is equipped with flight routes for automated deliveries and features a drone identification device along with a real-time monitoring system for drone positions. This study proposes the application of an ICAO SMS-based safety management system as an appropriate safety management framework that non-aviation personnel drone operators can adopt. It suggests that applying an ICAO SMS-based safety management system to the K-drone delivery system, similar to Europe and the USA, is valid. To introduce ICAO SMS into the K-drone delivery system, procedures must be established for building a drone safety management system, from business registration to drone operation and training. The main components of the drone safety management system are presented, including 8 items: safety policy and authority and responsibility, risk management, safety assurance, safety promotion, drone control system, drone delivery operation manual, drone maintenance manual, and accident response, incorporating the four fundamental elements of ICAO SMS and European Light UAV operator Certificate standards. Additionally, as a core aspect of the drone safety management system, a seven-step risk assessment procedure is proposed, which includes basic risk identification, hazard identification, risk scenario development, calculation of severity and likelihood, SMS matrix risk assessment, mitigation measures, and implementation determination.

The focus of this research was to devise a conceptual methodology for drone usage and to assess the viability of safety checklist items specific to drone application in safety oversight. The appraisal was grounded in a focus group interview involving professionals from construction management and safety fields. The proposed process was segmented into four stages: 1) pre-flight phase for flight plan development, 2) drone flight phase for safety condition inspection utilizing checklist items, 3) post-flight phase for visual asset analysis, and 4) documentation and management phase. Furthermore, the research scrutinized the applicability of 32 distinct safety checklist items for drone operations. The primary aim of this investigation was to probe the possible deployment of drones as part of construction safety inspections at work sites. However, it bears mentioning that subsequent research should strive to gather a more extensive sample size through questionnaire surveys, thereby facilitating quantitative analysis. Administering such surveys would yield more comprehensive data compared to a focus group interview, which was constrained by a limited participant count. In summation, this study lays a foundational groundwork for understanding the potential advantages and challenges associated with integrating drones into construction safety management.

In spite of various safety measures, coastal safety accidents continue to occur, so this study focused on using drones as countermeasures. Municipalities that already have coasts have begun operating unmanned multicopters for coastal safety management. In particular, by connecting an unmanned multi-copter to the currently applied smart city safety net system, it is possible to transmit real-time images of the scene in case of emergency in the coastal area to the local government safety information center. It is also expected to contribute significantly to strengthening safety management in coastal waters through a more rapid response to safety accidents. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the use of drones as an alternative to the limitations of the domestic coastal safety system by investigating the state of coastal safety accidents and analyzing the state of domestic coastal safety systems. In addition, it is expected to be a key breakthrough in the coastal area safety system by proposing a model linking the Korean K-Drone system.

Various facilities such as safety railings and safety nets are used to prevent safety accidents at construction sites. As construction progresses, additional safety facilities may need to be installed or existing facilities may be damaged, so continuous management is required. To manage safety facilities, it is best for safety managers to check them directly, but there are parts of the site that cannot be checked directly. This study proposes a method to identify the installation status of safety facilities using photogrammetry. A drone is used to take photos and a three-dimensional model is created using these photos. By reviewing the implemented model to determine whether safety facilities are installed, it is possible to secure the safety of construction sites.

Roadway lighting is an integral element of a highway system. Luminaires on roadways provide viewing conditions for drivers and pedestrians during nighttime in order to improve safety. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to manually measure roadway illuminance at predetermined spots with a handheld illuminance meter. To improve the efficiency of illuminance measurement, a remote-control electrical cart and a drone were utilized to carry an illuminance meter for the measurements. The measurements were performed on the marked grid points along the pavement. To measure the illuminance manually, one person measures illuminance at each grid point with the handheld meter and another person records the illuminance value. To measure the illuminance with the remote-control cart, the illuminance meter is attached to the cart and it measures illuminance values continuously as the cart moves along the grid lines. With the drone, the meter records the illuminance continuously as the drone carries the meter and flies along the grid line. Because the drone can fly at different heights, the measurements can be done at different altitudes. The illuminance measurements using the cart and the drone are described in detail and compared with manual measurements in this paper. It is shown through this study that automated measurements can greatly improve the efficiency of roadway illuminance data measurements.
