  • Vehicle Ad hoc Network (VANET) is next-generation network technology to provide various services using V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure). In VANET, many researchers proposed various studies for the safety of drivers. In particular, using the emergency message to increase the efficiency of traffic safety have been actively studied. In order to efficiently transmit to moving vehicle, to send a quick message to as many nodes is very important via broadcasting belong to communication range of vehicle nodes. However, existing studies have suggested a message for transmission to the communication node through indiscriminate broadcasting and broadcast storm problems, thereby decreasing the overall performance has caused the problem. In addition, theses problems has decreasing performance of overall network in various form of road and high density of vehicle node as urban area. Therefore, this paper proposed Clustering based Routing Algorithm (CBRA) to efficiently transmit emergency message in high density of vehicle as urban area. The CBRA managed moving vehicle via clustering when vehicle transmit emergency messages. In addition, we resolve linkage problem between vehicles according to various form of road. The CBRA resolve link brokage problem according to various form of road as urban using clustering. In addition, we resolve broadcasting storm problem and improving efficacy using selection flooding method. simulation results using ns-2 revealed that the proposed CBRA performs much better than the existing routing protocols.

  • Chungbuk has various regional characteristics in terms of population composition by region, industrial facilities, and distribution of emergency medical institutions. However, there are no studies yet that have analyzed regional characteristic factors related to the occurrence characteristics of cardiac arrest patients. Therefore, this study provided basic data to establish a response system for OHCA patients suitable for the characteristics of the Chungcheongbuk-do region by analyzing the characteristics of OHCA patients and the transfer status of 119 paramedics in Chungcheongbuk-do. This study is a retrospective study that analyzed 1,188 cardiac arrest patients transferred by ambulance based on raw data from the survey on acute cardiac arrest in Chungbuk (2020). There are a total of 11 emergency medical institutions in Chungbuk-do, which are concentrated in city-level areas, so the transfer time of patients to hospitals in county-level areas was delayed. In the county-level area, the frequency of dispatch of special paramedics was relatively small, and the frequency of administration of cardiac arrest drugs to help resuscitate cardiac arrest patients was also low. In conclusion, efforts should be made to improve accessibility of emergency medical services (deployment of emergency vehicles in marginal areas, proper placement of emergency medical institutions, etc.), to promote prevention of traumatic cardiac arrest patients, and to expand the scope of work to strengthen the first aid expertise of paramedics.

  • The flight control system designed for an unmanned airship, which is under development by KARI, is in reduced. First, the dynamic characteristics of the airship are addressed, which are fairly different from those of the nominal aircraft. In order to implement autonomous flight for the unmanned airship, flight control logic is designed including autopilot and guidance law. The autopilot is designed under consideration of the velocity region of the unmanned airship. The guidance laws are implemented in main operational modes such as point navigation, station keeping and spiral up/down for emergency return. Their simulation results are also presented in order to validate performances of the flight control system.

  • Vehicular-to-anything (V2X) technology is attractive for wireless vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) because it allows for opportunistic choice of a vehicular protocol between vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) and vehicular-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. In particular, achieving seamless connectivity in a VANET with nearby network infrastructure is challenging. In this paper, we propose a density-based opportunistic broadcasting (DOB) protocol, in which opportunistic connectivity is carried out by using the nearby infrastructure and opposite vehicles for solving the problems of disconnection and long end-to-end delay times. The performance evaluation results indicate that the proposed DOB protocol outperforms the considered comparative conventional schemes, i.e., the shortest path protocol and standard mobile WiMAX, in terms of the average end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, handover latency, and number of lost packets.

  • 우리나라 응급의료체계의 구축은 선진국이 1960년대 초 시작한 반면 1980년 이후 구축되기 시작하여 아직까지 미흡한 편이다. 사고 및 재해 발생시 응급환자에 대한 적절한 처치는 관련정보가 빠르게 전달되고, 적절하게 사용되어 응급환자로 하여금 지체시간내에 얼마나 적합한 응급의료서비스를 수혜토록 하느냐가 가장 중요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 의료기관, 소방서 등 의료체계의 실태조사를 통하여 현재의 응급의료체계의 현황과 문제점을 분석하였다. GIS를 이용하여 119구급차 등 응급차량이 가는 경로와 일반 시민들이 이용할 수 있는 응급경로탐색에서 많은 영향을 미치는 교통요소, 좌회전, 우회전, 경유지, 시간대별 교통량을 고려하였다. 그리고 환자의 상태에 따른 병원을 찾도록 정보를 제공하였다. 이러한 교통요소 및 병원에 대한 정보를 제공함으로서 보다 나은 환자이송에 최적경로를 제시하고자 하였다.

  • 응급상태가 발생하면 여러 가지 응급구조장비를 탑재한 차량이 출동하여 현장에서 각종 구조 활동을 진행한다. 긴급 구난차량에는 각종 구조장비를 보유하고 있으며, 구조대원의 숙련도에 따라 구조결과는 약간씩 다르게 나타날 수 있지만 구조장비의 성능과 사용상의 편리성에 많은 영향을 받을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 응급구조 차량의 엔진출력의 잉여분을 충분히 활용하여 엔진실 내에 장착이 가능한 고효율 발전을 설비하여 엔진의 시동만으로 전력을 생산하고 발생된 전압을 전력변환기를 통해 안정적인 전력을 확보하여 사용의 편의성을 도모할 수 있는 전원장치를 개발하였다.

  • Fire accidents reported to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) during 1997.2006 in Korea are investigated. A survey of 23523 accidents due to fires is presented. Statistical comparisons based on the type of accidents and the causes of fires are analysed. The results indicated that 27.5% of the total number of fires are residental houses and apartments and 18.0% were motor vehicles. Electricity was classified to be the highest cause of fire ignition sourses and smoking was the second source of ignition.
