Robots are widely used in various automation processes in industrial applications. Traditionally, it operated under fixed condition by teaching operating positions. Recently, diverse 2D/3D sensors are used together with robot to give more flexibility in operation. In this paper, we deal with automatic manipulation of tie rod in automotive production line. Sensor system consisted of a camera and slit laser is used for the acquisition of 3D information and it is used attached on the robot. Nut runner is used for the manipulation of stop nut and adjust bolt on the tie rod. Detailed procedures for the automatic manipulation of tie rod are presented. In the presented approach, we effectively use 3D information in whole procedure such as computing distance to the tie rod, rotation angle of bolt and nut. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

This paper describes performance improvement of GPS/DR Integration system using area decision algorithm and vehicle movement information. In GPS signal blockage area, i.e., tunnel and underground parking area, DR sensor errors are accumulated and navigation solution is gradually diverged. We use the car movement information according to moving area to correct the DR sensor error. Also, vehicle movement is decided as stop, straight line, turn and movement changing region through DR sensor data analysis. The car experiment is performed to verify the supposed method. The results show that supposed method provides small position and heading error than previous method.

This paper represent the design of a digital modem which transmits the ECG data from an ambulatory arrhythmia monitor over the telephone lines to a large hospital for the instantaneous interpretations. The digital modem provides on-line communications between the patient and the central computer located near cardiologists. For commercial telephone lines, the transmitting error rates of the digital modem were measured 200 times at a speed of 300 baud. In those measurements, the block errors-results, due to the misinterpretation of start and stop bits, did not occur, The data bit errors which were due to a single bit interpreted incorrectly were 0.78 (bits/10 ) . Since the acceptable data bit error limit is 10 per 106 bits transmitted, the digital modem designed in this paper can be used for the clinical applications without any difficulty.

In this paper, we studied about AGVs modeling and material handling automation simulation using a virtual AGV. The proposed virtual AGV model that operates independently each other is based on a real AGV. Continuous straight-line and workstation model using vector drawing method that could easily, rapidly work system modeling are suggested. Centralized traffic control, which could collision avoidance in intersection and should not stop AGV as possible, and algorithm for detour routing which performs when another AGV is working in pre-routed path are proposed. The traffic control and the algorithm have been proved efficiently by simulation.

To start or stop the train safely within the limited traveling distance, it is necessary to guarantee the proper traction or braking force. Presently, most trains are run by the electrical power and have adopted a combined electrical and mechanical(friction) braking system. In order to design a good traction or a brake system, it is essential for designers to predict the traction or brake performance. In this paper, the traction/coasting/braking performances analysis program has been developed and verified by comparing the simulation results with on-line test results of the Korean high speed train(HSR-350); Both results match very well. Consequently, the designers can predict the traction/coasting/braking performances of trains by using the proposed program under various operating conditions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative importance of seven JIT operational techniques in Domestic industries. These techniques are used to improve manufacturing effectiveness and efficiency such as : Setup time reduction, Kanban, Multi-functional worker, U type layout, Andon(line stop), Atonomation, and Smoothing production. The new analytic hierarchy process(AHP) model is used in order to evaluate the relative importance of the seven JIT operational techniques which are used to increase the manufacturing effectiveness and efficiency. To aggregate the multi-divisions priorities, in this paper, we suggest a way which decision maker can exclude outlier matrix from group by using the concept of the compatibility in AHP.

In this paper, we introduce a system that detects all kinds of violations at a street intersection such as red light running, speed violation, stop line violation and lane violation by tracking individual vehicles. Two cameras are used for defecting violations. One is an analog camera for real-time tracking and the other is a digital camera for license plate reading. This system is connected to the traffic signal system controller and monitors the red, arrow, yellow and green phases of an approach. Two loops in the road are used to detect vehicle approach and speed. The system takes pictures of all vehicles passing a second loop and tracks the vehicles until they go out a street intersection...

In general, the braking system of high speed train has an important role for the safety of the train. To stop the train safely at its pre-decided position, it is necessary to combine the various brakes properly. The Korean high speed train (HSR-350x) has adopted a combined electrical and mechanical (friction) braking system. In this study, the measuring method that can obtain the disc braking forces and friction coefficient between disc and pad during on-line test of HSR-350x has been suggested and verified through the comparison of the results obtained from this method and those of the results of the dynamo-tests.

A PSD which cooperates with train door provides safety and convenience for passengers. In order to cooperate with train door, the PSD should interface between the PSD control system and the control units of train door. This interface is generally performed in signaling system(ATC/ATO), however, the lines which don't have the interface functionality in the signaling system, it is required to have additional "PSD inter face system" to communicate between train and PSD. In this paper, we propose a safe PSD interface methodology by discussing interlocked control between train door and PSD, recognition of accuracy stop point, troubleshooting logic and log of troubles and driver panel which are adopted in Inchon line1.

The brake system of train must posses the large braking effort in order to stop the train safely within the limited traveling distance. But, the excessive braking effort has been deteriorated the ride comfort due to high level of deceleration and jerk, and sometimes occurred the skid, because the applied braking force exceeds the allowable adhesive force. This skid causes not only to increase the stopping distance but also to deteriorate the safety of train and damage the rail surface by wheel flat. In the present paper, the braking force for disc brake of Korea High Speed Train (HSR350x) was measured through on-line test and the adhesion force was estimated by using the analytic model in the skid condition. Also, we have discussed the relationship between the actual disc brake force and the adhesion force in real skid condition.
