Of the Korean military's 3,959 ammunition depots, 1,007 - more than 25% - violate safety requirements for distance and equipment. There is a risk of explosion in old depots that are vulnerable to various interior and exterior accidents. This paper examines 10 scenarios, with varying values for ammunition amount and safety distance. The study calculated the overpressure that can be applied to risk-exposure objects, based on the safety distance; expected damage was predicted using constructed spatial information from 3D explosion simulations. The simulations confirmed that explosion overpressure increased the most when the safety distance violation rate increased from 80% to 90%. It also confirmed that secondary damage such as fire and explosion can cause casualties and property damage when the violation rate is 60% or higher. The results show that building collapse becomes a risk with a violation rate of 70% or higher. We conclude that taking ammunition depot safety distance violation into account when planning military facilities and their land utilization could better protect life and property.

For the commercialization and standardization of autonomous vehicles, demand for rigorous safety criteria has been increased over the world. In Korea, the number of extraordinary service permission for automated vehicles has risen since Hyundai Motor Company got its initial license in March 2016. Nevertheless, licensing standards and evaluation factors are still insufficient for operating on public roadways. To assure driving safety, it is significant to verify whether or not the vehicle's decision is similar to human driving. This paper validates the safety of the autonomous vehicle by drawing scenario-based comparisons between manual driving and autonomous driving. In consideration of real traffic situations and safety priority, seven scenarios were chosen and classified into basic and advanced scenarios. All scenarios and safety factors are constructed based on existing ADAS requirements and investigated via a computer simulation and actual experiment. The input data was collected by an experimental vehicle test on the SNU FMTC test track located at Siheung. Then the offline simulation was conducted to verify the output was appropriate and comparable to the manual driving data.

Reliability Lifecycle from Concept to In-Service Operation and Maintenance. Reliability management must consider - SAFETY - SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. Reliability targets/objectives can be specified at feasibility stage. Reliability analysis to support design process. Reliability assessment to support reliability growth or contractual demonstration. Maintenance optimisation to improve reliability during lifetime of operation. Lessons learnt incorporated into next generation of trains.

Objective: Two control rooms of a petroleum complex were ergonomically evaluated for this study using diverse drawings of the rooms. The objective of the study is to show the evaluation process and its results, assessment method and essential elements for drawing-based ergonomic evaluation. Background: Ergonomics can enhance the working environment and safety for a control room when implemented effectively. A control room design was examined by ergonomists based on ergonomic principles and well-practiced standards. This study was conducted because a construction consortium wanted to perform an ergonomic evaluation of the control rooms before the construction. Method: A simple evaluation process, composed with a pre-evaluation, an evaluation and a post-evaluation, was employed to carry out the study. ISO 11064, NUREG-0700, NUREG/CR-6150, and CRIOP were reviewed to evaluate the control rooms. The assessment ranges over the control room layout, workstations, display and control, environmental requirements and safety. Three ergonomists participated in the study and performed the evaluation for two months. Results: An experienced consortium of construction companies designed the petroleum complex and control rooms. No significant ergonomic design problems were detected. Quantitative recommendations were provided for the layout and workstation dimensions. Specific design directions were also proposed for environmental requirements and safety. Conclusion and Application: Design advice and minor potential problems were reported as results of the drawing-based ergonomic evaluation. More practical suggestions could be additionally provided if an on-site assessment was conducted. However, the ergonomic evaluation used in this study could be helpful and applied to designing and evaluating other various control rooms prior to their construction.

On July 1 2012, the carriage requirement for ECDIS became mandatory in a phased-in manner. The system has since been widely used as a core bridge navigation system and as a replacement for paper charts with a back up arrangement. However operational anomalies have been found in the system internationally. IMO and IHO have recognised these anomalies and seek for solution. This study has been conducted on a survey of seafarers on the use of ECDIS with regard to anomalies identification, level of the seafarer satisfaction and requirements for further functional improvement. From the results, the ECDIS user focused requirements suggested on strengthening the level of navigational safety and efficiency. The efficiency of using main functions of ECDIS was positively evaluated. However, there were concerns regarding its operational safety.

The use of computers as part of nuclear safety systems elicits additional requirements-software verification and validation (v/v), hardware qualification-not specifically addressed in general industry fields. The computer used in nuclear power plants is a system that includes computer hardware, software, firmware, and interfaces. To develop the computer systems graded with nuclear safety class, the developing environments have to be required in advance and the developed software have to be verified and validated in accordance with nuclear code and standards. With this requirements, the test facility for Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS) as one of safety systems in the nuclear power plants was developed. The test facility consists of three(3) parts such as Input/Output (I/O) simulator, Plant Data Acqusition System (PDAS) cabinets and supervisory computer. The performance of the system was validated by manual test procedure.

There are increasing policies and safeguards to prevent various human resource losses with the development of automotive industry. Currently ISO26262 $1^{st}$ edition has been released in 2011 to ensure functional safety of electrical and electronic systems and the $2^{nd}$ edition will be released in the second half of 2016 as part of a trend. The E/E (Electrical & Electronics) system requirements verification is required through walk-through, 인스펙션, semi-formal verification and formal verification in ISO 26262. This paper describe the efficiency of model checking for the E/E system requirements verification by applying the product development project of ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) D for the electrical parking brake system.
