In Vehicle Safety Communication (VSC), noted as a representative application of VANET technologies, emergency warning messages (EWM) are broadcast over vehicles in response to an emergency situation. However, as the number of vehicles increases, the so-called Broadcast Storm Problem often occurs due to a huge number of redundant EWM transmitted. Though many approaches in the literature have been proposed to solve the problem, most of them require the preliminary phase for setting up or refreshing neighbor relationship through exchanging beacon messages with nearby vehicles, thereby further increasing the traffic load. In this paper, we propose Longest Leaping Relay (LLR) scheme which can efficiently solve the Broadcast Storm Problem without any preliminary phase for setting up neighbor relationship. Through computer simulations, we compared the performance of the proposed scheme with competitive schemes and verified the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

The existing landslide warning guideline was mostly issued in 1990's and did not consider recent weather changes such as focused area heavy rainfall or regional geographic features. And every regional government applies the guideline equally which results in continued disasters. Thus it is necessary to conduct a research on landslide with regards to the correlation between the increased focused rainfall and regional geographic features. We propose a renewed emergency escape guideline against steep slope landslides that can assess most likely avalanche time according to amounts of rain and a continued raining time, for a swift escape of the residents of the affected area.

Post-earthquake crisis management is a key capability for a country to be able to recover after a major seismic event. Instrumental seismic data transmitted and processed in a very short time can contribute to better management of the emergency and can give insights on the earthquake's impact on a specific area. Romania is a country with a high seismic hazard, mostly due to the Vrancea intermediate-depth earthquakes. The elastic acceleration response spectrum of a seismic motion provides important information on the level of maximum acceleration the buildings were subjected to. Based on new data analysis and knowledge advancements, the acceleration elastic response spectrum for horizontal ground components recommended by the Romanian seismic codes has been evolving over the last six decades. This study aims to propose a framework for post-earthquake warning based on code spectrum exceedances. A comprehensive background analysis was undertaken using strong motion data from previous earthquakes corroborated with observational damage, to prove the method's applicability. Moreover, a case-study for two densely populated Romanian cities (Focsani and Bucharest) is presented, using data from a $5.5M_W$ earthquake (October 28, 2018) and considering the evolution of the three generations of code-based spectral levels for the two cities. Data recorded in free-field and in buildings were analyzed and has confirmed that no structural damage occurred within the two cities. For future strong seismic events, this tool can provide useful information on the effect of the earthquake on structures in the most exposed areas.

각종 자연적 사회적 재난 위험의 증가와 함께 국내에서도 선진국과 같은 대국민 경보 전달체계의 정비가 진행중이다. 본 연구는 경보 전달 체계에 대한 시민들의 인식 실태를 조사 분석하고, 시민들의 인식을 바탕으로 한 시스템 개선 방향점을 찾아보고자 했다. 조사 결과에 의하면 현재 시민들의 경보 전달에 관한 인식은 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이런 경보 전달의 문제를 해결하는 시스템적 방법으로는 도심형의 야외 디지털 전달체계와 구내방송을 활용한 건물내 전달 체계 개선이 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 또 한편으로는 경보 상황에서 사람들의 실질적 대응 행동 유발의 전략적 사회 맥락을 제공하는 연구가 필요하다는 것이 나타났다. 예를 들어 왜 사람들은 실제 경보 메시지를 받으면 방송에 주목하게 되는지, 또 그런 시민에게 어떤 식으로 대응 행동 가이드를 제공할지가 앞으로의 과제로 부각되었다.

ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System) which is developed for alleviating driver's load has become improved with extending it's role. Previously, ADAS offered simple function just to make driver's convenience. However, nowadays ADAS also acts as Active Safety system which is made to release and/or prevent accidents. Longitudinal control system, as one of major parts of Active Safety System, is assessed as doing direct effect on avoiding accidents. Therefore, many countries such as Europe and America has pushed longitudinal control system as a government-wide project. In this paper, it covers the result of evaluation system and vehicle evaluation for development study in FCW, ACC and AEB.

This paper addresses the effective and quantitative image DB construction for the development of front looking camera systems. The automotive industry has expanded the capability of front camera solutions that will help ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System) applications targeting Euro NCAP function requirements. These safety functions include AEB(Autonomous Emergency Braking), TSR(Traffic Signal Recognition), LDW(Lane Departure Warning) and FCW(Forward Collision Warning). In order to guarantee real road safety performance, the driving image DB logged under various real road conditions should be used to train core object classifiers and verify the function performance of the camera system. However, the driving image DB would entail an invalid and time consuming task without proper guidelines. The standard working procedures and design factors required for each step to build an effective image DB for reliable automotive front looking camera systems are proposed.

In general, forecast tsunami heights announced for tsunami warning are computed by using a linear tsunami model with coarse grids which leads the underestimation of inundation area. Thus, an accurate tsunami inundation map corresponding to the forecast tsunami height is indispensible for an emergency evacuation plan. A practical way to construct a relatively accurate tsunami inundation map was proposed in this study for the quantitative forecast of inundation area. This procedure can be introduced as in the followings: The fault dislocations of potential tsunami sources generating a specific tsunami height near an interested area are found by using a linear tsunami model. Based on these fault dislocations, maximum inundation envelops of the interested area are computed and illustrated by using nonlinear inundation numerical model. In this study, the tsunami inundation map for Imwon area was constructed according to 11 potential tsunami sources, and the validity of this process was examined.

During the Covid-19 pandemic's first term of April-June 2020, the general public throughout Indonesia became familiar with the slang term "local lockdown." This term emerged in response to disorderly implementation of the half-hearted government policy called Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB). In villages around the country, people started to build portals to restrict "strangers" or "outsiders" from entering their village areas. These portals were also meant to publicly signal the villagers' fear of the spread of the virus. This paper will discuss two things: first, how fear was produced, using frameworks drawn from Giorgio Agamben's notable works State of Exception and Homo Sacer, and how governance reproduces it; and second, how people come to accept the state of emergency and then publicly express their acceptance of the situation. Critical discourse analysis is applied to read government policy and its reception. The research took place at Rempoah, Kedungmalang, and Pabuwaran villages in Banyumas, the southern regency of Central Java, Indonesia. The villagers' responses to the government's policy are visually represented through written warning signs.

In this paper, we propose an authentication scheme for EVPT (Emergency Vehicle Priority Transit) service in Vehiclar Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) enable a variety of vehicle comfort services, traffic management applications, and infotainment services. These are the basis for a new generation of preventive and active safety functions. By intelligently controlling signalling at intersections, providing additional information to the driver and warning the driver in critical situations. we therefore focus on vehicle-to-infrastructure communication for the authentication between emergency vehicles and traffic lights system. This authentication process should identify the vehicle, and provide privacy protection.

VANETs can provide traffic warring service to help drivers drive safely based on the information of the traffic condition. The driver can drive safely through the warning service information provided by the VANET and know the traffic condition exactly more than through only the sight of driver. In this paper we suggest a new mechanism of updating the table to broadcast the message more rapidly based on the table driven method as the way of sending the emergency message in the VANETs. When updating the table, nodes sends only based on the message transmission success rate. In the result of simulation we could find that the suggested mechanism would reduce the delay time of the emergency message broadcast compared to the existing mechanism.
