Recently, vehicle simulators are widely used to evaluate driver s responses and driver assistance systems. It needs much effort to construct the virtual driving environment for a vehicle simulator. In this study, it is described how to make effectively the roads and the driving environment for a vehicle simulator. GIS (Geographic Information System) is used to construct the roads and the environment effectively. Because the GIS is the integrated system of geographical data, it contains useful data to make virtual driving environment. First, boundaries and centerlines of roads are extracted from the GIS. From boundaries, the road width is calculated. Using centerlines, mesh models of roads are constructed. The final graphic model of roads is constructed by mapping road images to those mesh models considering the number of lanes and the kind of surface. Data of buildings from the GIS are extracted. Each shape and height of building is determined considering the kind of building to construct the final graphic model of buildings. Then, the graphic model of roadside trees is constructed to decide their locations. Finally, the driving environment for driving simulator is constructed by converting the three graphic models with the graphic format of Direct-X and by joining the three graphic models.

생산시스템의 유연성과 효율성을 동시에 만족시키기 위한 자재취급 시스템으로써 AGV 시스템을 사용한다. AGV 시스템은 전체 생산시스템의 성능을 결정하는 중요 요인으로써 최적 설계안의 도출이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 상용 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 이용하여 AGV 시스템 설계 검증이 이루어지고 있지만, 이러한 검증 과정을 신속히 처리하기 위한 일련의 절차에 대한 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 근사최적화된 일방향 흐름 경로와 다양한 운영 파라미터를 고려할 수 있는 일방향 AGV 시스템 시뮬레이터의 아키텍처를 제시 및 개발 하였다. 개발된 AGV 시스템 시뮬레이터는 Java를 기반으로 개발되었으며, 타부탐색을 이용한 근사최적 일방향 네트워크 설계를 지원하고, 사용자가 쉽게AGV 시스템의 설계 검증 및 대안분석에 사용할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 사용자의 시스템 설계 운영 정보는 입력창을 통해 입력되며 이 정보는 레이아웃 생성기, AGV 운영계획 생성기, 통합 AGVS 생성기로 구성된 시뮬레이션 엔진에서 자동으로 AGV 시스템을 모델링 및 시뮬레이션을 하여 빠른 시간 안에 시뮬레이터 사용자에게 피드백을 제공한다.

국내 철도 신호시스템은 전자화로 발전하고 있으며 이 중 연동장치의 전자화는 57%에 이르고 있고, 선로변장치 중 건널목 보안장치는 통합시스템으로 개발이 완료되어 있다. 그러나 기존선 전 구간의 폐색장치는 전자화 및 통합화가 되어있지 않아 건설과 유지보수 측면에서 많은 보완점을 가지고 있다. 현재 국내 기존선에 사용되고 있는 ABS와 경부 및 호남선에 설치중인 LEU는 동일한 장소에서 동일한 열차의 신호정보에 의해 열차를 제어하고 있음에도 불구하고 각각 별개의 시스템으로 분리되어 설치되어 있기 때문에 동일한 정보를 각각 별개로 나누어 송수신하여 열차를 제어하고 있다. 따라서 종래의 ABS와 LEU에서는 램프검지부나 전원부 등과 같이 중복 설치된 부품이 많기 때문에 전체적인 제품의 제조 원가가 높아질 뿐만 아니라, 시공비 역시 2중으로 소요되고 유지보수에도 많은 인력과 비용을 투자해야 하는 등의 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현재 사용 중인 ABS에 통신 및 전자기술을 접목시켜서 집중형 전자폐색제어장치를 개발하기 위한 내용을 제시하고 있으며, 해당역 관내 폐색장치를 집중감시 및 관리를 하고 ATP 시스템의 지상장치인 LEU와 연계하여 정보 전송이 가능하도록 하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a structure of the control system for the step & scan exposure tool. The step & scan exposure tool is used for the manufacturing process of the semiconductor DRAM memory of giga bit. The control system employs the VME bus instead of the conventional ISA bus so that all control signals and data can be managed separately by the 4 VME-PCs for fast and fault-free flow of signals for multi-tasking. A high speed I/O card is equipped for the real-time monitoring and control of the sub module equipment. Then all the subsystems are integrated and aligned for the operation of the step & scan exposure tool with the VME bus and, I/O card.

In this work, a 4-DOF industrial robot system with three translational and one rotational motions which is widely used in palletizing applications is developed. In order for small robot manufacturing companies to develop their own robot systems for CNC machining and/or general automations, the analysis and design methods of a 4-DOF robot manipulator are presented and the development of a PC-based robot controller with EtherCAT are introduced. It is noted that the robot controller is developed by using Simulink Real-Time, which can provide an integrated environment of easier control algorithm development and data logging. Through position control and accuracy/repeatability measurement results, the developed robot prototype has comparable performances with commercial counterparts. In the future works, the advanced functions of industrial robots such as kinematic calibration, vibration suppression control, computed torque control, etc. will be investigated.

A landmark tracking system(LTS) has been developed for use in locating objects in a manufacturing environment. The Landmark Tracking System is an integrated system which consists of a grey scale CCD camera, an image processor, an illumination system based on electronic flash, and software intended primarily for tracking retroreflective landmarks. The term "integreated" means that the camera electronics and the strobe electronics are directly linked to the computer system, governed by the same clock and under direct software control. A novel element in the LTS is that a pinhole is used for the optics.he optics.

Diverse approaches for reducing the total energy consumption of machine tools have been introduced and developed, to cope with rapid increase of total energy costs in world-wide manufacturing industries. To realize the improvement of the energy efficiency, systematic and integrated strategies must be considered, including energy-saving design, optimized control operation and concrete evaluation of the energy efficiency. This paper proposes key enabling technologies required to improve the energy efficiency of 5-axis multi-functional machining tools, considering both of system design and operation in the real production environments. Related standardized procedures of the energy efficiency evaluation is also represented.

This paper deals with civil infrastructures in general, sensor and smart structure technology, and smart steel structures in particular. Smart structures technology, an integrated engineering field comprising sensor technology, structural control, smart materials and structural health monitoring, could dramatically transform and revolutionize the design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures. The central core of this technology is sensor and sensor networks that provide the essential data input in real time for condition assessment and decision making. Sensors and robust monitoring algorithms that can reliably detect the occurrence, location, and severity of damages such as crack and corrosion in steel structures will lead to increased levels of safety for civil infrastructure, and may significantly cut maintenance or repair cost through early detection. The emphasis of this paper is on sensor technology with a potential use in steel structures.

Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS), which is an element of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), is a widely used material handling equipment with conveyors and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Until now the evaluation of operational policies of AS/RS and control algorithms is done theoretically or by computer simulations. In this study, a real-time control and monitoring software of an AS/RS is also developed by making actually moving AS/RS miniature. A PC-based real-time monitoring program can control the AS/RS directly through the communication port. The monitoring program has additional functions such as storage/retrieval management, inventory management, and statistics management. The program can not only collect the necessary statistics but monitor the current action of the AS/RS concurrently.
