Variable message signs(VMS) in use are being displaying with the LED device as the luminous source, and it is a recent trend to be changed from the Lamp type to the Surface-Mount Devices(SMD) type. The LED device leads to get VMS display brightly and clearly, leading to have visibility and legibility better than the existing VMS. However, the lights which display off the road, the unnecessary energy, might have negative effect on ecosystem. This study developed the way of getting the lights be displayed only to drivers without the unnecessary energy and estimated the energy efficiency of the development by the optical testing. As a result, this study showed that the energy consumption of the developed display device appeared to decrease by about 36.1% compared to the existing device. Also the upward and downward angle of the lights changed from an angle of $24^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$and from an angle of $-24^{\circ}C$ to $-11^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore, it anticipates that the developed device would benefit highway safety due to an improvement in visibility and legibility compared to the existing VMS and the energy consumption would be less lower than the existing VMS.

In this paper, we propose indoor IoT monitoring system based on visible light communication using smart phone with attracting attentions in recent wireless communication. The main features and contributions of the proposed system developed in this paper are as follows. First, the actual data generated within indoor can be processed via the server by using only the visible light communication. Second, the collected data by using the visible light communication can be monitered by smart phone. Performance evaluation of the proposed system is performed under illumination of the normal fluorescent lamps. We first check successful transmission between transmitting module and receiving module of the data collection system. The monitoring system is tested according to the change of the degree of condensing and distance of the LED and the decoding success rate of the proposed smart phone application. We expect that the proposed system can be applied for indoor and outdoor IoT areas together.

영상수위계는 카메라에 의해서 수위표를 촬영하여 촬영된 영상을 처리하여 수위값으로 변환하여 자동적으로 수위를 측정하는 장비이다. 이 수위계는 기존 수위측정 장비인 부자식, 압력식, 기포식, 초음파식, 레이다식과는 달리 수위표를 촬영한 영상으로부터 수위를 직접 눈으로 확인할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이로 인해 영상자료로부터 측정된 수위를 검증할 수 있어 수위측정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 그리고 수위표 영상과 더불어 관측지점 주변의 전체 영상을 동시에 촬영하여 실시간으로 전송하기 때문에 홍수시 하천 상황에 대한 모니터링 목적으로 사용될 수 있다. 영상수위계 시스템은 크게 메인제어기, 전원부, 서버부 및 카메라부로 구성되어 있다. 현재 운영되고 있는 시스템은 전원장치 리셋시 전 시스템을 리셋해야하고, 상전 단전시 전 시스템이 off된다. 그리고 별도의 통신모듈을 사용하여 장비간 통신이 이루어지고 있다. 또한 카메라부에는 렌즈와 팬/틸트를 제어하기 위한 별도의 장비가 포함되어 있고, 백색 LED 조명이 사용되어 야간에 수위인식주기마다 조명이 on/off 되고 있다. 위와 같은 전원장치의 운영으로 시스템을 안정적으로 운영할 수 없다. 그리고 수위 오인식을 최소화하기 위해서는 연속적인 수위 인식이 필요하지만, 백색 LED조명과 1초에 2프레임을 캡쳐하는 비디오 캡쳐방식에 의해 시스템을 상시로 운영하는 것이 곤란하다. 현재 운영 중인 영상수위계를 안정적으로 운영할 수 있도록 장비별로 제어가 가능하도록 전원 제어장치를 개발하였고, 상전 단전시 최소 30분 정도 전원을 유지할 수 있도록 무정전전원장치(UPS)를 설치하였으며, 측정자료의 저장장치를 하드디스크 타입에서 Flash SSD 메모리 타입으로 교체하였다. 또한 영상수위계 시스템을 상시 운영할 수 있도록 백색 LED조명을 적외선 LED조명으로 교체하였고, 1초에 1회 수위를 인식하도록 수위인식주기와 1초에 25프레임 캡쳐할 수 있도록 비디오 캡쳐방식을 개선하였다. 위와 같은 시스템의 개선으로 시스템을 안정적으로 운영할 수 있게 되어 시스템 고장에 의해 발생하는 수위 결측을 감소시킬 수 있고, 시스템의 상시 운영으로 수 위 오인식을 최소화시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A Photovoltaic power streetlight is a system that uses solar energy to charge a secondary battery and then uses it for night lighting through a lamp, and can be configured as a standalone or grid-connected type by installing an LED streetlight at the load end. The energy generated through the solar cell module can be charged to the secondary battery through the charge/discharge control device, and then the LED street light can be turned on and off by comparing the power generation voltage and the charging voltage according to the monitoring of solar radiation, or by setting a specific time after sunset or sunrise. Based on these contents, this paper designed and manufactured a simulated solar power streetlight for education using new and renewable energy utilization and storage functions. Using these educational equipment, students can 1) understand the flow of energy change using renewable energy including sunlight as electric energy, 2) understand new and renewable energy, and cultivate basic design and manufacturing application power of related products, 3) The use of new and renewable energy through power conversion and strengthening of practical training and analysis through hardware production can be instilled.

We investigated the optical design of a smart headlamp capable of producing various beam patterns through only on/off modulation of light sources. This was implemented by forming a continuous matrix of beams from discontinuous beam patterns by means of a multi-array LED optical system. As one such optical system, the multi-array LED system is a convenient and economical device for implementing beam patterns with the simple on/off modulation of the light sources. A single optical assembly module can be made by combining a multiple-LED array, optical system module, and electronic control with no need for any additional mechanical components. The present optical system was designed to include a secondary lens and a projection lens mounted at the front of each LED in the array to realize accurate lighting patterns as well as the required luminosity at a distance of 25 m in the forward direction. Finally, we identified and analyzed the patterns implemented by the designed optical system that produced satisfactory performance of high beams and adaptive driving beams (ADB).

본 논문에서는 LCD 구동 모들 PCB의 기능 검사를 위한 자동 검사시스템인 EVT(Emulated Vision Tester)를 제안하고 구현하였다. 기존의 대표적인 자동검사 방법으로는 전기적 검사나 영상기반 검사방식이 있으나 전기적 검사만으로는 Timing이 주요한 변수가 되는 LED 장비에서는 검출할 수 없는 구동불량이 존재하며 영상기반 검사는 영상획득에 일관성이 결여되거나 Gray Scale의 구분이 불명확하며 검출결과의 재현성이 떨어진다. EVT 시스템은 Pattern Generator에서 인가된 입력 패턴 신호라 구동모듈을 통한 후 출력되는 디지털 신호를 직접 비교하여 패턴을 검사하고 아날로그 신호 (전압, 저항, 파형)의 이상 여부도 신속 정확하게 검사할 수 있는 H/W적인 방법이다. 높은 검출 신뢰도와 빠른 처리 속도 뿐만 아니라 간결한 시스템 구성으로 원가절감 실현 등 많은 장점을 가진다.

This study examined changes in the energy landscape, focusing on the photovoltaic module carbon certification system. As the global photovoltaic market has been reorganized around Chinese companies, the South Korean government has pushed to strengthen the competitiveness of the nation's photovoltaic industry. However, a limitation remains in that the government-led effort was not sufficient to bring about dynamic changes in the energy landscape. Against this backdrop, this study explored the stages leading to the multi-level perspectives of "macro-environment, socio-technical regime, and niche" to track the process of the government and domestic photovoltaic companies as part of a socio-technical regime responding to global market changes. In particular, this study raised an issue with the conceptual discussion of multi-level perspective, which placed a particular emphasis on the rate of change at each level and the niche in which innovative experiments take place, and thus attempted to fill this gap by tracking the energy landscape that varies differently from space. These spatial discussions can track different carbon emissions coefficients and industrial characteristics for each country, and have a higher level of explanatory power for the system thus constructed. In addition, through discussions on the problems and implications of the government-led introduction of renewable energy policies, this study suggests the need to create and implement a field-oriented system.

Thermal performance of an impinging cooling module for 150 W class high power LEDs have been investigated numerically and experimentally. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effect of several design parameters such as nozzle number, nozzle spacing, coolant flow rate, and impinging distance. The experiments were also carried out in order to validate the numerical results and the comparison between the experimental and numerical results showed good agreement. It is found that the overall thermal resistance of impinging cooling module strongly depends on the nozzle number, nozzle spacing, flow rate, and impinging distance. This results showed the optimized operating condition when number of nozzles is 25, nozzles spacing is 4mm, flow rate is 2.70 lpm, distance between nozzles and impinging surface is 2 mm.
