  • Urban subways are one of the main parts of urban transportation networks in every city that always requires much attention in order to improve its efficiency in aspects of safety, reliability speed and costs. As the viewpoint of costs, an accurate design, especially design of vertical alignment, can have a dominant role to reduce the costs of urban railway projects. This paper seeks to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of designing chain vertical alignment for urban subways in compare to flat vertical alignment. To achieve this goal, line A of Qom subway in Iran was selected as a case study in this research. Five parameters considered in the technical-economical evaluation: (1) energy consumption, (2) rolling stock, (3) operation, (4) civil works and geotechnical and (5) hydrological, drainage and pumping. According to the results, a power saving of about 40% have been estimated in the chain vertical alignment for the train without regenerative braking in compare with the flat vertical alignment, although the power saving was calculated less than 10% for the train with regenerative braking. Finally it was found that due to the modern rolling stock technology, the chain vertical alignment represents fewer advantages in compare to the past years.

  • Light weight of vehicles by composite materials makes possible high speed, energy saving, and low repair cost. As Bimodal Tram and Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) use carbon composite material for their bodies, safety for passengers and electrical devices against unexpected failures has been issued more than ever. Lightning strike which generates high voltages and large currents is the worst case for the safety of passengers and devices. With this background, we experimentally investigated the insulation breakdown phenomena on carbon composite materials by the application of lightning surge voltage and current. From the experimental results, we could estimate whether the composite body is safe or not for the inside passengers and devices against lightning strikes.

  • This study examined the relative effects of feedback frequency and specificity of Eco-IVIS(eco in-vehicle information system) on the fuel-efficiency and workload. Eighty participants randomly assigned into four experimental groups (high frequency/specific, high frequency/global, low frequency/specific, and low frequency/global feedback) and they drove 16.4Km motorway under the each feedback condition. The dependent variable were fuel efficiency and Drive Activity Load Index which measured participants' subjective ratings of driving workload. The results showed that high frequent feedback was more effective for increasing fuel-efficiency than low frequent feedback, however, there was no significant difference of fuel-efficiency between specific and global feedback. Although, overall DALI score was comparable among four experimental conditions, visual demand score was significant higher under the high frequent feedback condition than low frequent feedback.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 형광직물과 재귀반사 소재만으로 제작, 보급되고 있는 현 안전의복에, 광섬유 적용으로 시인성을 높여 야간이나 기상악화 시 안전사고로부터 작업자나 보행자를 보호하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 LED를 촉매로 한 광섬유와, 에너지 하베스팅 기술을 적용하여 설계·제작한 안전조끼를 개발하였다. 안전조끼는 필름에 일체화된 자동 점멸 광섬유에 의해 빛을 방출하도록 설계되었고 이 조끼를 착용한 작업자의 움직임으로, 버려지는 에너지를 수확하여 광섬유의 발광을 더 지속적으로 구동시키기 위해 에너지 하베스터를 제작하여 부착하였다. 그 결과, 첫째로 조끼 착용자의 신체는 광섬유(optical fiber)와 재귀반사 테이프를 통해 멀리서 인식 가능하도록 시인성이 높아져 사고예방에 도움이 된다. 즉 야간에 실시하는 도로변이나 고지대에서의 작업, 구조대원의 활동, 스포츠 활동 시 사고를 예방하거나, 비상상황이 발생할 경우 광섬유 발광을 변화시키는 신호로 사고 지점을 빨리 발견할 수 있어 인명구조에도 도움이 될 것이다. 둘째, 생활 속 버려지는 에너지를 활용하기 위하여 압전소자 발전 시스템을 개발하여 압전 에너지 하베스팅 장치를 탑재한 결과, 배터리부의 유효 충전량을 활성화하고 보조 충전을 함으로써 에너지를 소량일지라도 효율적으로 생산할 수 있었다. 동시에 안전조끼에 내장하여 제작함으로써 탈착이 용이하도록 하여 활용도를 높였다. 기존 안전 조끼의 경우 야간에 주변 조명이 없을 때는 조끼를 착용한 사람을 인식하는 것이 거의 불가능하지만, 본 연구에서는 안전조끼의 빛 신호로 주변 조명이 없을 때에도 100m 이내에서 착용자를 식별할 수 있었다. 또한 광섬유적용 안전조끼는 측면에서의 시인성 향상뿐만 아니라 가볍고 (물)세탁이 가능하여 실용적 측면에서 현존하는 LED적용 안전의류보다 우수하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 개발한, 광섬유와 에너지 하베스터를 장착한 안전조끼는 실용도가 높고 안전사고 발생 예방과 감소, 나아가 인명구조에 이바지할 것으로 추정된다.

  • The functions and uses of existing buildings are not properly changing as modern life needs. As a result, the frequent reconstruction(construction after removal) of existing buildings have been done but it became more and more difficult because of strengthening of regulations and systems concerning construction. And also it has several disadvantages like lower plot ratio and site coverage than existed buildings, enormous construction cost, production of waste-construction materials and thoughtless consumption of natural resources, which gives rise to environmental pollution. Therefore renovation is brought to the fore. In Korea, many business buildings were constructed in 1960s-1970s, during the period of high growth. Such buildings needs to be repaired in whole. It is caused by the change of social, economic, and cultural conditions and deterioration of equipments. Therefore renovation meets some necessary conditions; recovery of building functions and extension of building life span. In case study, the present state of renovation in business buildings is 1) Basic safety, for example, fire prevention and crime prevention, is great important. 2) Advanced technology, INS(international news service), IBS(Intelligent Building System), and internationalization, is pursued for adapting to multimedia ages. 3) It tries to promote proficiency, and to save the energy using spatial environment and natural energy(light and sound). Also, improving comfortable level of users and installing equipments for physically handicapped person needs to be considered.

  • Curtain wall means a non-bearing wall that forms the outer walls of a building to divide the exterior and interior space. The increased use of curtain walls is diverse, including structural safety, watertightness, and wind pressure. As the government's energy conservation policy and the aim of zero-energy houses, the importance of heat reduction is also greatly increased. So, the study of monotony is constantly being conducted. Thus, in this study, insulation performance was analyzed through simulation according to the shape of curtain wall and the shape of insulation inside, and the purpose of this study was to provide basic data on the application of insulation criteria by energy saving design of buildings.

  • Nowadays, many people are trying to develop eco-friendly engines such as the electric motor and the air engine because the I.C. engine cause a lot of pollutants. Nevertheless of these effort, there are few evaluation and comparison of these engines to conventionally used I.C. engines. Because of this, it is difficult to determine that the eco-friendly engines are really energy saving engines. In this paper, the efficiency of the air engine is calculated. The air engine does not cause environmental pollution problem because it uses "Compressed air". Due to the air engine operated at a low temperature and spark-free condition, this engine can be used in extreme condition for safety. Despite the many advantages of the air engine, there are few analysis on the air engine because of an air engine is low energy density.

  • 최근 사물인터넷(Internet of Things, IoT)이 인간의 안전, 생명, 자산과 직결되는 산업과 일상생활에 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 저가, 경량, 저전력 요건을 충족해야 하는 IoT 장치는 배터리 소모 공격과 간섭 때문에 배터리 라이프타임이 심각하게 단축되는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 웨이크업 리시버(Wake-up Receiver, WuR)를 위한 802.11ba 표준이 등장했고, 이 기능은 와이파이 기반 IoT의 에너지 소비를 최소화하는데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 그러나 WuR 프로토콜은 지연시간과 오버헤드를 단축하기 위해서 보안 메커니즘을 고려하지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 배터리 소모 공격에 대응하기 위해서 저전력 웨이크업 리시버를 위한 적응형 파워 세이빙 메커니즘(Adaptive Power Saving Mechanism, APSM)을 제안한다. APSM은 공격이 잦은 환경에서 파워 세이빙 시간을 기하급수적으로 증가시킴으로써 비정상적으로 발생하는 파워 소모량을 최소화할 수 있다. 실험 결과에 따르면, APSM은 전체 트래픽 중 공격 비중이 10% 이상일 때 종래의 파워 세이빙 메커니즘(Legacy Power Saving Mechanism, LPSM)보다 13.77% 이상의 에너지 소비 효율을 개선할 수 있었다.
