Baby walkers have been a major cause of injuries in young children. The main purpose of this study is to identify the pattern of injuries associated with baby walker. The data ore collected from May 13 to June 15, 1998 from 438 mothers who have used or are using baby walkers for their children aged average 6 month old(range 1-33 month). It was founded that 19.2%(84 infants) of these children had walker-related accidents. The types of injuries included ‘falling down’(52.4%), ‘tiping over’(21.4%), ‘being crashed into the wall’(17.9%), and burns(1.2%). These injuries predominantly involved the head and neck region(88%). The majority of injuries were minor, and most injuries occured at home with the mother present. The most common reason to use the baby walker was to keep the infant happy and occupied. Although many parents used walker to promote walking, there was no supportive evidence that walkers helped babies learn to walk sooner. In conclusion, injuries among infants who use walkers are minor, but common. Also, baby walkers may cause a fatal min to some infants. Therefore, child safety warning label policies, anticipatory safety guidance and quality control of infant walkers are needed to prevent injuries associated with a infant walker.

현대도시는 여러 가지 원인으로 인하여 각종 재해가 발생하고 있다. 또한 재해의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 대형화되고 있는 시점에서 이들을 효과적으로 대처하기 위한 재해관리시스템이 필요하게 되었다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 급격한 차량의 증가로 인해 도시생활에서 가장 큰 재해로 지적되고 있는 교통사고와 사고발생 시 대형재해를 일으키는 가스재해 및 유지 보수의 중요성이 커지고 있는 교량 재해를 중심으로 데이터베이스를 구축하였다. 이에 본 연구는 실시간 정보의 제공을 가능케 하는 무선 인터넷 GIS를 이용하여 재해발생 시 현장에서 재해관리 데이터베이스에 접근하고, 신속하게 현장정보를 확인하여, 재해상황에 효과적으로 대처하며, 즉시 재해정보를 수정, 갱신할 수 있는 재해관리시스템을 개발하였다.

It is very important to evaluate the priority of prevention factors and strategies in order to minimize industrial accident. It provides decisive information for accident prevention and safety management. Therefore, this paper proposes evaluation method of the priority through statistic testing with prevention factors and strategies by the cause analysis of cause and effect models. Especially, this paper uses priority matrix criterion to justify application of rank and objectivity. This paper is based on the results of a questionnaire of workers and managers who are engaged by real manufacturing and construction industries with less than 300 workers in the central region of Korea, where most of the fatal accidents have happened. Finally, the result provides one way to implement safety management for industrial accident prevention.

차세대지능형교통시스템(C-ITS)는 차량과 차량, 차량과 인프라 간의 양방향 통신으로 교통 정보를 공유하여 더욱 편리하고 안전하게 교통을 제어하는 시스템이다. C-ITS의 보안에 대한 준비가 제대로 갖춰지지 않을 경우 일시적인 교통 마비 및 대형 교통사고를 유발할 수 있고, 이에 따라 운전자의 생명에도 직접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 C-ITS에서 발생할 수 있는 사이버 공격들을 시나리오를 통해 연구하여 그 예방 및 대응 방안을 제시한다.

치명적인 사고를 막기 위해 드라이버 졸음 (DD)를 검출하는 다양한 최근 방법이 제안되고있다. 본 논문은 운전자의 눈에 폐쇄 속도를 모니터링 할 수 있는 기능을 AdaBoost 기반 물체 검출 알고리즘에 적용한 DD 탐지 시스템 구현에서 하드웨어/소프트웨어 공동 설계 방법을 제안한다. 소프트웨어 구성 요소는 DD 검출 알고리즘 중에서 필요한 기능성을 완전하게 달성하기 위해 전체적인 제어 및 논리 연산을 구현한다. 반면, 본 연구에서는 DD 검출 알고리즘의 중요한 기능은 처리를 가속화하기 위해 맞춤형 하드웨어 구성 요소를 통해 가속된다. 하드웨어/소프트웨어 아키텍처는 비디오 도터 보드와 알테라 DE2 보드에 구현되었습니다. 제안 된 구현의 성능을 평가하고 몇 가지 최근의 작품을 벤치마킹했다.

Recently, the number of automotive electrical and electronic system has been increased because the requirements for the convenience and safety of the drivers and passengers are raised. In most cases, the data for controlling the various sensors and automotive electrical and electronic system used in runtime should be stored on the internal or external non-volatile memory of the ECU(Electronic Control Units). However, the non-volatile memory has a constraint with write limitation due to the hardware characteristics. The limitation causes fatal accidents or unexpected results if the non-volatile memory is not managed. In this paper, we propose a management scheme for using non-volatile memory to prolong the writing times based on AUTOSAR(AUTOmotive Open System Architecture) platform. Our proposal is implemented on the CDD(Complex Device Driver) and uses an algorithm which swaps a frequently modified block for a least modified block. Through the development of the prototype, the proposed scheme extends the lifetime of non-volatile memory about 1.08 to 2.48 times than simply using the AUTOSAR standard.

Tower crane is a large construction equipment which is extremely tall for its section when it is erected, with its high slenderness ratio, and it has a heavy load by itself due to large lifting stuff to handle. In line with the construction projects in these days which increasingly tend to become higher, larger and complex, the stuff and height subject to lifting are also getting larger and higher, which has also increased the risk of disastrous accidents. A stable foundation design thus to deal with the increasing self load becomes more important. When a typhoon Maemi swept the nation in 2003, as many as 43 tower cranes fell down or collapsed, causing a severe damage to the people and the properties. Considering such fatal damages, a technical evaluation of the stability to prevent the safety accident with the tower crane must be very crucial. Tower cranes operation in domestic construction sites, in fact, have been simply dependent on personal experience and intuition of the engineers. Particularly when it comes to the foundation design, it mostly depends on manufacturer's recommendation. The study hence was intended to develop the fundamental measures for granting the objective stability, instead of following the individual's experience only. The simulation model recommended in the study is expected to make a good commitment to achieving an effective lifting work as well as preventing the safety accident.

해안 및 해양에 설치되어 있는 해저관로는 원유, 가스, 물과 이들의 혼합된 유체들을 전달하기 위한 수단으로 사용되고 있다. 관로 내부 유체의 열과 압력 차이는 해저관로의 팽찰을 야기시킨다. 해전관로 팽창은 관로와 연결되는 구조물들에 응력을 유발시킨다. 작용 응력이 연결 부재의 항복점을 초과하거나 전체 시스템의 허용변형을 초과할 경우 구조물에 손상이 발생된다. 해안 및 해양에 설치되는 해저관로는 주로 위험 물질이나 유독 유체를 포함하기 때문에 만약 이런 유체의 유출이 발생될 경우 인명 피해는 물론 큰 경제적 손실을 가져온다. 비록 해저관로는 시간적/공간적 제약 없이 유체를 전달할 수 있지만, 이런 관로 설계시 안전하게 그 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 해저관로의 열변형 해석에 사용되는 여러 개의 이론을 조사하였고, 관로의 요소들이 관로 팽창에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다.

Article 29(3) of Occupational Safety And Health Act, which states a contractor can request a design change to an employer of businesses under the risk condition of construction of temporary structure, was established. Accordingly, in this study, recent fatal accidents caused by temporary structures were analyzed, and the level of inclusion of temporary structures in the design document were examined, and high risk temporary structures were classified. In addition, the requirements of design change of temporary structures were presented, and the qualifications of expert to certify the design change were proposed.

It is necessary to develop new methods to prevent catastrophic failure of structural material in order to avoid accidents and conserve natural and energy resources. Design of intelligent materials with a self-diagnosing function to prevent fatal fracture of structural materials was achieved by smart composites consisting of carbon fiber tows or carbon powders with a small value of ultimate elongation and glass fiber tows with a large value of ultimate elongation. The changes in electrical resistance of CF-GFRP/GFRP (carbon fiber and glass fiber-reinforced plastics/glass fiber-reinforced plastics) composites increased abruptly with increasing strain, and a tremendous change was seen at the transition point where carbon fiber tows were broken. Therefore, the composites were not to monitor damage from the early stage. On the other hand, the change in electrical resistance of CP-GFRP/GFRP (carbon powder dispersed in glass fiber-reinforced plastics/glass fiber-reinforced plastics) composites increased almost linearly in proportion to strain. CP-GFRP/GFRP composites are superior to CF-GFRP/GFRP composites in terms of their capability to monitor damage by measuring change in electrical resistance from the early stage of damage. However, the former was inferior to the latter as an application because of the difficulties of mass production and high cost. A method based on monitoring damage by measuring changes in the electrical resistance of structural materials is promising for improved reliability of the material.
