GPS(Global Positioning System) location tracking is a method for taking the precise coordinates after the coordinates are obtained by a GPS receiver, and displaying them on the map. In this paper with WAVE(Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) simulation, we show that various services such as vehicle tracking service, real-time road conditions service and logistics can go tracking service, control and operation services according to the vehicle position and the traveling direction by using the GPS position data. A vehicle tracking system using GPS is automatically able to manage multiple RCP when exchanging data between RMA and the RCP, and it provides rapid requests and responses. To verify that multiple sessions between RMA and RM, as well as multiple sessions between RMA and RCP are able to be implemented, we take RMA as a RCP application on an OBU, until the RMA is receiving data response from corresponding RM. As a result of this experiment, we show that the response speeds of single session between RMA and RM using 1, 2, 3, and 4 kbyte unit data are similar, 62.32ms, 62.65ms, 63.02ms, and 63.48ms, respectively. Likewise, those of 128 muliple sessions using 1, 2, 3, and 4 kbyte unit data are not much more time difference, 298.08ms, 302.21ms, 322.85ms, and 329.62ms, respectively.

Recently, foreign tourists and car owners or motorists are increasing, so tourist sign boards are necessary to inform them. Unfortunately, tourist sign boards are difficult to understand because they are often written incorrectly. This paper has a thorough grasp of this problem and will present an ideal standard model which is precise and detailed. This paper includes research of tourist boards sign Seoul, Kyongju, Pusan, Kwangju, Yosu, Kwang reung in Korea. Also tourist sign boards in the U.K, France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria will be discussed. A survey was conducted of eight hundred people to determine tourist information is obtained. In conclusion, tourist sign board should convey accurate and useful information to people of all ages. Tourist information should be systematic and logical. An ideal standard model of tourist signs will render traveling easier for tourists all over the world. It will be more convenient for both kinds of tourist; domestic and foreign. Futhermore good tourist sign board will give an excellent and bright image.

SpaceWire is a standard for high-speed links and networks between spacecraft components, which was invented for better, cheaper and faster on-board data handling in spacecraft. The standard defines timecode and its distribution which can be used for time synchronization among the nodes in a SpaceWire network. A timecode output from the time master which provides standard time over a SpaceWire network travels through links and routers to reach every nodes. While traveling, a timecode suffers from transmission delay and jitter which cause some difference in time synchronization among nodes. In this work, a simulator was developed using OMNeT++ to simulate the operation of a SpaceWire network and some analyses were performed on the transmission delay and jitter accompanied with a transmission of a timecode. The result will be used in the near future for the research of a precise time synchronization technique over a SpaceWire network.

The initiation and growth of short fatigue cracks in the simulated aircraft structure with a series of rivet holes was detected by acoustic emission (AE). The location and the size of short tracks were determined by AE source location techniques and the measurement with traveling microscope. AE events increased intermittently with the initiation and growth of short cracks to form a stepwise increment curve of cumulative AE events. For the precise determination of AE source locations, a region-of-interest (ROI) was set around the rivet holes based on the plastic zone size in fracture mechanics. Since the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was very low at this early stage of fatigue cracks, the accuracy of source location was also enhanced by the wavelet transform do-noising. In practice, the majority of AE signals detected within the ROI appeared to be noise from various origins. The results showed that the effort of structural geometry and SNR should be closely taken into consideration for the accurate evaluation of fatigue damage in the structure.

This study proposes a new convergence weapon system that combines the covert placement and detection abilities of a self-propelled mobile mine with the rapid tracking and attack abilities of supercavitating rocket torpedoes. This innovative system has been designed to counter North Korea's new underwater weapon, 'Haeil'. The concept behind this convergence weapon system is to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of each weapon type. Self-propelled mobile mines, typically placed discreetly on the seabed or in the water, are designed to explode when a vessel or submarine passes near them. They are generally used to defend or control specific areas, like traditional sea mines, and can effectively limit enemy movement and guide them in a desired direction. The advantage that self-propelled mines have over traditional sea mines is their ability to move independently, ensuring the survivability of the platform responsible for placing the sea mines. This allows the mines to be discreetly placed even deeper into enemy lines, significantly reducing the time and cost of mine placement while ensuring the safety of the deployed platforms. However, to cause substantial damage to a target, the mine needs to detonate when the target is very close - typically within a few yards. This makes the timing of the explosion crucial. On the other hand, supercavitating rocket torpedoes are capable of traveling at groundbreaking speeds, many times faster than conventional torpedoes. This rapid movement leaves little room for the target to evade, a significant advantage. However, this comes with notable drawbacks - short range, high noise levels, and guidance issues. The high noise levels and short range is a serious disadvantage that can expose the platform that launched the torpedo. This research proposes the use of a convergence weapon system that leverages the strengths of both weapons while compensating for their weaknesses. This strategy can overcome the limitations of traditional underwater kill-chains, offering swift and precise responses. By adapting the weapon acquisition criteria from the Defense force development Service Order, the effectiveness of the proposed system was independently analyzed and proven in terms of underwater defense sustainability, survivability, and cost-efficiency. Furthermore, the utility of this system was demonstrated through simulated scenarios, revealing its potential to play a critical role in future underwater kill-chain scenarios. However, realizing this system presents significant technical challenges and requires further research.
