While damage caused by fire increases, awareness of fire is still low. Morever, Small fires often spread into big fires as they fail to keep the golden time due to the delay in initial response. In particular, the initial response is more important in areas where many unauthorized buildings are called " Panjachon " as firefighting facilities are insufficient compared to other residential facilities. Therefore, we will combine BIM technology, drones and IT convergence technologies to develop a firefighting safety information system that can speed up initial response and help combat fires.

To design and study the dynamic performance of safety structures, crash tests are needed. Method to get the angular accelerations at the time of impact by integating the Euler equations are introduced. Numerically stable 9-array system contains several 7 and 8-array sub-systems in it. Numerical stability of those latent sub-systems are studied using test files. All of the 8-array subsystems were found to be numerically stable. Six of the 7-array sub-systems were stable and other six of the 7-array sub-systems were unstable. Using this findings fail-safe measurement system can be developed.

An interlocking equipment of railway signalling systems should have very high functional safety and reliability properties because of its vital railway protection functionality. In order to achieve the required safety and reliability level, an engineer, in general, designs and implements the interlocking equipment to operate under RTOS(Realtime Operating System) environment, and the control hardware architecture redundant to cope with the random failures of system or subsystem. In such an architecture, it's very difficult to implement the interlocking equipment to communicate with various interface systems including the signal operator's terminal. In this paper, we propose a dual ethernet network topology and dual packet seamless transfer protocol algorithm for railway signaling system such as the interlocking equipment. We verify in this paper that the proposed DPST protocol algorithm has the evidence of its robust properties against the random hardware faults and communication errors. The proposed communication structure and algorithm is implemented in the electronic interlocking equipment for the private railway system of Hyundai Steel Company and its performance and properties are validated on the guideline of European Railway Standard EN50159.

The existing method of deriving the fail-safe design requirements for the domestic developed rotary-wing aircraft system may miss the factors that cause critical system function failures, when being applied to the latest integrated avionics system. It is because the existing method analyzes the severity effect of the failures caused by a single item. To solve the issue, we present a systematic analysis procedure for deriving fail-safe design requirements of system architecture by utilizing functional hazard assessment and development assurance level analysis of SAE ARP4754A, international standard for complex system development. To demonstrate that our proposed procedure can be a solution for the aforementioned issue, we set up experimental environments that include common factors that can cause critical function failures of a system, and we conducted a cross-validation with the existing method. As a result, we showed that the proposed procedure can identify the potential critical common factors that the existing method have missed, and that the proposed procedure can derive fail-safe design requirements to control the common factors.

Since the flight-control system is critical for the safety of an aircraft, a fail-safe system is needed in a flight demonstrator used to test a new flight-control system. A backup control system is also needed to ensure safety in using a mechanical flight-control system. This paper presents a development of an MFCS (Mechanical Flight Control System) model for simulating control authority switching of a helicopter technical demonstrator, as well as the results of evaluating the developed MFCS model.

The FAA, along with the ICAO and other members of the civil aviation community, has recognized that a GNSS will provide the primary stand-alone navigation system in the 21st Century. FAA has initiated plans to transition from its present ground-based navigation and landing system to satellite-based using signals generated by the GPS. In spite of some risks, GPS users are increasing rapidly. About 52 aircraft equipped with various GPS in their system and wide spread of GPS may be expected in Korea. However, the regulations concerning with CPS implementation were not established by the government. Another problem is GPS receiver's interface. The user interface, operating method and capability vary with GPS class and model. As a direct operator for the system, pilots have to ensure these limitations and rules for efficient adaptation and safety. The issues identified by the study are highly interrelated, and are evidence of aviation system problem. To treat one issue in isolation may improve certain aspects of the aviation system, but will ultimately fail to fundamentally increase the safety and efficiency for the system.

The overall goal of a safety based railroad system is either to eliminate hazards in designing or to minimize the possibility of it. In order to indicate system safety or low risk although it may not be possible to achieve zero risk conditions, first, it shall ensure that any disasters would occur due to system operation because the prescribed specifications are properly fulfilled and there are no failures of any kind. Second, the risk of faults or failures leading to a mishap must be eliminated or minimized by using fault-tolerance or fail-safe procedures. This paper will attempt to summarize the personal and social risk criterion at widely scattered points, presently used as a safety approach in all over EU, in order to establish the step by step procedures of the detailed standard for railway facilities. In addition, we present the new safety analysis method using the SIL-based evaluation standard and the Reachability Graph of the Petri Net.

This paper presents an integrated chassis control system with fail safety using optimum yaw moment distribution for a vehicle with steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire devices. The proposed system has two-level structure: upper- and lower-level controllers. In the upper-level controller, the control yaw moment is computed with sliding mode control theory. In the lower-level controller, the control yaw moment is distributed into the tire forces of active front steering(AFS) and electronic stability control(ESC) with the weighted pseudo-inverse based control allocation(WPCA) method. By setting the variable weights in WPCA, it is possible to take the sensor/actuator failure into account. In this framework, it is necessary to optimize the variables weights in order to enhance the yaw moment distribution. For this purpose, simulation-based tuning is proposed. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations are conducted on a vehicle simulation package, CarSim.

Railway signalling system is required to be high safety against collision, derailment and collision at level crossing and to be high availability. The signalling system is usually divided into automatic train control, interlocking and centralized traffic control systems and each system must be high fail safe and availability. This study focused on reliability calculation of vital systems in train control system.

Requirement management is an important phase that has a significant influence on the project success. As a risk to a project fail is getting bigger, people adopt Systems Engineering method to the development of the effective requirement management. Accordingly, Railroad Safety Technology R&D Corps. is progressing the plan of the construction of Railway Safety Test Facilities as a part of the Railway Total Safety Project to enhance the railway safety, and carrying out researches on effective requirement management methods with Systems Engineering techniques. To support that, we introduce the Systems Engineering Requirement Management Process and propose the more effectual management method of constructing the Railway Safety Test Facilities applying the model-based systems engineering tool to the research.
