An analysis model is proposed for the performance prediction of typical ball and tube type mechanical crash sensors based upon mass-spring-viscous gas damping idealization. Also a construction of mechanical crash pulse generator is suggested as an experimental tool for calibration and verification of model predictions. A sensor tuning procedure for a particular set of crash pulses is suggested based upon the analysis model and the experimental tools.

In this study, the effects of sitting position of the driver on the whiplash neck injury have been analyzed experimentally by using hybrid III series 50 percentile male crash test dummy. A testing platform consisting of vehicle ground, driver foot rest, driver seat and a 3-point seatbelt has been prepared. This testing platform and the instrumented crash test dummy are prepared for tests according to the Euro NCAP whiplash testing protocol. The prepared test set-up has been exposed to 3 different acceleration-time loading curves defined in the Euro NCAP whiplash testing protocol by performing sled tests. 9 different sled tests have been performed with the combinations of 3 different seating positions of the crash test dummy and 3 different acceleration-time loading curves. The sensor data obtained from the crash test dummy and high-speed videos taken are analyzed according to the injury assessments criteria defined in the Euro NCAP whiplash testing protocol and the criticality of the whiplash injury is defined. It is seen that the backset distance of the driver head with the headrest and the height difference of the top of the head of the driver with the headrest have a great importance on whiplash injuries.

비상위치송수신장치(ELT)는 항공기 추락 시 조난 신호를 송출하는 장비이다. 유용한 장비이지만 항공기 추락과 경착륙에 대한 오판으로 인하여 잘못된 조난신호를 송출하기도 한다. 이러한 문제점은 현재 사용되고 있는 기계식 G-스위치의 부정확성에 그 원인이 있다. ELT의 성능 개선을 위하여 기계식 G-스위치를 MEMS 가속도계로 대체한 ELT 시스템을 개발하였다. ELT 시스템은 가속도 정보 수집/분석 시스템과 추락 판단 프로그램, 추락 상황에서 위치 정보를 제공하기 위한 GPS 수신 시스템으로 구성되어 있다. 또한, ELT 시스템을 검증하기 위한 자유 낙하 실험대를 제작하였다. 자유 낙하 실험대는 추락과 경착륙에 해당하는 충격 가속도와 충격 유지 시간을 모사할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 자유 낙하 실험대를 이용하여 개발한 ELT 시스템이 정확히 작동함을 확인하였다.

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 the development and verification of control algorithms for V2X and environmental sensor integrated intersection support and safety systems. The objective of the research is to develop core technologies for effective fusion of V2X and environmental sensors and to develop new safety function for intersection safety. One of core technologies is to achieve the improvement of GPS accuracy, and the other is to develop the algorithm of a vehicle identification which matches all data from V2X, vehicle sensors and environmental sensors to specific vehicles. A intersection optimal pass (IOP) algorithm is designed based on these core technologies. IOP recommends appropriate speed to pass the intersection in the consideration of traffic light signal and preceeding vehicle existence. Another function is developed to prevent a collision avoidance when car crash caused by traffic violation of surrounding vehicles is expected. Finally all functions are implemented and tested in three test vehicles. It is shown that IOP can support convenient and comfortable driving with recommending optimal pass speed and collision avoidance algorithm can effectively prevent collision caused by traffic sign violation of surrounding vehicles.

실속, 결빙, 센서 이상 등으로 인해 일어나는 제어불능 또는 비정상 비행 상황은 항공기의 추락으로 이어지기 때문에 필수적으로 대비해야 한다. 이와 관련해 비정상 비행 상황에서 항공기의 동적 특성을 정확하게 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 일시적인 센서 이상이 발생한 고받음각의 비정상 비행상태 항공기에 대해서 기존의 칼만 필터 기반의 시스템 식별법 대비 보다 효과적인 적응 차수 조노토픽 칼만 필터와 이동창-최소자승법을 활용한 시스템 식별법을 제시하였다. 제안한 방법을 실제 비행 데이터에 적용하고 그 성능을 기존 연구 결과와 비교하였다.
