Most accident reconstruction or analysis depend on the coefficient of friction to estimate the vehicle speeds. Skid mark and coefficient of friction are usually utilized to calculate the velocity and behavior of vehicles. For a critical case such as traffic accident reconstruction, however, the initial velocity of the car should be calculated precisely. In this paper, emergency brake tests on ABS and Non-ABS brake system are conducted on the dry pavement asphalt road on speed 40, 60, 80 and 100 km/h respectively. The SWIFT sensor was established in the front wheel and rear wheel at driver side to measure the forces, moments and speeds of revolution of the tires. These tests results can be available to brake tests and accident reconstruction.

This paper describes an algorithm for Advanced Emergency Braking(AEB) with tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB is a system to avoid a collision or mitigate a collision impact by decelerating the car automatically when forward collision is imminent. Typical AEB system is operated by Time-to-collision(TTC), which considers only relative velocity and clearance from control vehicle to preceding vehicle. AEB operation by TTC has a limit that tire-road friction coefficient is not considered. In this paper, Tire-road friction coefficient is also considered to achieve more safe operation of AEB. Interacting Multiple Model method(IMM) is used for Tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB algorithm consists of friction coefficient estimator and upper level controller and lower level controller. The numerical simulation has been conducted to demonstrate the control performance of the proposed AEB algorithm. The simulation study has been conducted with a closed-loop driver-controller-vehicle system using using MATLAB-Simulink software and CarSim Vehicle model.

As advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) and autonomous driving performance continue to improve, existing crash accidents and crash types are changing. Accordingly, the collision angle and the seating posture of the occupant are changed. It is necessary to study how the occupant injury mechanism changes according to these different crash types. In this regard, a representative crash test mode was derived when the automatic emergency braking system (AEB), one of the autonomous driving performance, was applied to the representative car-to-car crash scenario in Korea. The derived crash test mode was used to analyse the mechanisms of collision injuries according to both impact angle and the occupant seating posture (reclined seat-back angle). The results obtained through this study can be utilized as reference data for the development of new crash evaluation methods and improvements in crash restraint systems for enhancing crash safety.

Smart application is developed in this paper by using an android-based platform to automatically determine the human emergency state (Lifesaver) by using different technology sensors of the mobile. In practice, this Lifesaver has many applications, and it can be easily combined with other applications as well to determine the emergency of humans. For example, if an old human falls due to some medical reasons, then this application is automatically determining the human state and then calls a person from this emergency contact list. Moreover, if the car accidentally crashes due to an accident, then the Lifesaver application is also helping to call a person who is on the emergency contact list to save human life. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to develop an application that can save human life. As a result, the proposed Lifesaver application is utilized to assist the person to get immediate attention in case of absence of help in four different situations. To develop the Lifesaver system, the GPS is also integrated to get the exact location of a human in case of emergency. Moreover, the emergency list of friends and authorities is also maintained to develop this application. To test and evaluate the Lifesaver system, the 50 different human data are collected with different age groups in the range of (40-70) and the performance of the Lifesaver application is also evaluated and compared with other state-of-the-art applications. On average, the Lifesaver system is achieved 95.5% detection accuracy and the value of 91.5 based on emergency index metric, which is outperformed compared to other applications in this domain.

Purpose: There are two theories about the relationships between facial fractures and cranial injuries. One is that facial bones act as a protective cushion for the brain, and the other is that facial fractures are the marker for increased risk of cranial injury. They have been debated on for many years. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between facial fractures and cranial injuries. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 242 patients with facial fractures. The data were analyzed based on the medical records of the patients: age, gender, cause of injury, Injury Severity Score (ISS), alcohol intake, type of facial fractures, and type of cranial injury. The patients were divided into two groups: facial fractures with cranial injury and facial fractures without cranial injury. We compared the general characteristics between the two groups and evaluated the relationship between each type of facial fracture and each type of cranial injury. Results: Among the 242 patients with facial bone fractures, 96 (39.7%) patients had a combination of facial fractures and cranial injuries. Gender predilection was demonstrated to favor males: the ratio was 3:1. The mean age was $36.51{\pm}19.63$. As to the injury mechanism, traffic accidents (in car, out of car, motorcycle) were statistically significant in the group of facial fractures with cranial injury (p=0.038, p=0.000, p=0.003). The ISS was significant, but alcohol intake was not significant. No significant relationship between facial fractures and skull fractures was found. Only maxilla fractures, zygoma fractures, and cerebral concussion had a significant difference in cranial injury (p=0.039, p=0.025). Conclusion: There is a no correlation between facial fractures and skull fractures, which suggests that the cushion effect is the predominent relationship between facial fractures and cranial injuries.

무선인터넷 기술의 발달과 응용의 확산으로 위치정보를 이용한 위치기반 서비스 형태는 더욱더 다양해 지고 있다. 특히, 언제 어디서나 사람과 사물 같은 객체의 위치를 인식하고 이를 기반으로 유용한 서비스를 제공하는 유비쿼터스 위치기반 서비스(Ubiquitous Location Based Services : u-LBS)가 중요한 서비스로 대두되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 차량 충돌 위치와 관련한 서비스 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 된 시스템에서 사용된 GPS Packet에는 위치에 대한 정보와 차량 충돌에 대한 충돌 세기와 시간, 차량에 대한 NodeID 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 데이터들을 이용하여 하나의 패킷이 만들어 지게 되고 차량 간 충돌이 발생할 경우 차량에서 Gateway로 전송된다. Gateway에서 Server로 전송된 패킷은 충돌 여부를 판단하여 위급상황으로 판단되면, 구급센터로 위치정보와 충돌측정여부에 대하여 알려주게 된다. 또한, 이러한 위급상황에 대해서는 외부에 있는 가족 등의 관련된 사람들에게 무선으로 무선단말기(PDA, 휴대폰)를 통해 알려주게 된다. Server에 들어오게 되는 충돌 정보들은 Database에 저장이 되도록 구성하였다. 아울러, 제안한 u-LBS시스템의 유효성을 검증하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다.

차량 간 통신 네트워크 환경에서 차량 간 혹은 차량 대 기지국 간 통신 시 다양한 통신에 방해가 되는 장애 요소가 발생하거나 존재할 수 있다. 다양한 장애 요인들로 인하여 차량의 고장이나 긴급상황이 발생할 경우 정보 전송과정에서 통신 네트워크의 포화상태나 과도한 경쟁으로 인한 패킷의 손실 및 지연이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 결과 인적, 물적 피해와 더불어 지속적인 통신시도로 차량의 전원고갈 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 다양한 장애요인이 상존하는 도로 환경에서 종단간에 고속, 안정적일 뿐만 아니라 에너지 효율적인 프로토콜 개발이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.3 WPAN을 기반으로 차량간 통신 시스템에서 에너지 효율적인 긴급 메세지 전송을 위한 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 및 분석을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 패킷충돌 및 경쟁으로 발생하는 전송지연을 감소시켰으며, 에너지 효율적인 프로토콜임을 확인하였다.
