Due to the aging effect, older people have relatively weaker muscular performance, less range of motion in the joint articulation, and the lower sense of equilibrium than younger people. These factors attribute to their slow and clumsy ingress/egress motion. In order to analyze ingress/egress motion strategy of the elderly, healthy thirty 65 or more years old volunteers were recruited. The health condition of the each volunteer was verified by the medical checkup and also their physical capabilities were quantified by six fitness tests. Through the video analysis, older driver's ingress/egress motion strategies were classified and statistically investigated. For a comparison purpose, another thirty young volunteers also participated in the same test protocol and their ingress/egress motion strategies were also included in the statistical analysis.

This study attempts to develop improved ingress and egress in vehicle for disabled wheelchair people who driving is available, after investigating the ingress and egress relation demand and the inconvenient factor in the vehicle. An experiment was performed for that disabled wheelchair people to analyze the characteristics of ingress and egress relation operation through the questionnaire survey and the camera photographing. The results suggest various improvements possibilities in inside handlebar as a main factor. Through analysis of disabled wheelchair person's ingress and egress tendency, the alternative shape and position of inside handlebar are suggested. Also, this paper aimed to draw ingress and egress improvement proposal by executing a verification experiment and collecting the preferences from disabled people.

The objective of this paper is to study the usability of the ingress/egress of elderly people, and analyze the physiological workload electromyography (EMG). We investigated the factors of discomfort while the elderly people are using the ingress/egress. Experiments were performed using a seating buck with 22 elderly participants (over 65 years old). The results showed that different muscles are activated during ingress and egress. A system called "easy access" was found which helps to access easily when a driver gets into a car. The current easy access was compared a newly proposed one. It was found that elderly people use less muscle during in/egress in the new easy access system.

This paper describes a novel quantitative discomfort evaluation method based on motion data and its application to discomfort analysis of ingress/egress motions for cars. To develop the discomfort evaluation model, we introduced the discomfort regression curve and the range of motion for each degree-of-freedom of the joints of a whole human body. The maximum discomfort value for the joints at a specific time is selected to represent the discomfort value of the whole body at the time. The results of the experiments and questionnaires support the claim that our discomfort measure matches experimental subjective discomfort levels.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of seat heights for optimizing the ingress/egress performance in the elderly people. Background: Recently elderly users have been increasing in number and the ease of ingress/egress of the vehicle becomes an important issue. Method: Seven elderly subjects participated in this study(age: 71.7${\pm}$3.6yr, height: 167.7${\pm}$5.4cm, weight: 68.1${\pm}$11.5kg). Each subject performed the sitting and rising task from comfortable seated position on the chair under the following conditions: (1) with a lumbar support and (2) without a lumbar support. We measured EMG activities of seven muscles(tibialis anterior, soleus, gastrocnemius, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris and erector supinae) and ranges of motion in lower limb during sitting and standing from three different heights (400mm, 500mm and 600mm from ground) of slide-up seat. Results: Muscle activities and angular movements of hip and knee joints during standing-up and sitting-down with a high seat height(600mm) were reduced mean 30.4% in extensor muscles, 57.11% in flexor muscle, 18.74% in erector muscle and 31.0% in joints compared with a low seat height(400mm). Conclusion: Muscle activities and joint movements in hip and knee were reduced when rising/sitting from a high seat height(600mm) compared with a low seat height(400mm). Application: This study can be used to design vehicle that are easy to get in and out of by older peoples with or without impairments.

This paper proposes a novel discomfort assessment method for truck ingress and egress motions based on the maximum-voluntary-contraction (MVC) ratios of muscles obtained by biomechanical analysis of human musculoskeletal models. In this study, a human motion to enter and exit a truck cabin with different types and heights of footsteps is first measured using an optical motion capture system and load sensors. Next, in a biomechanical analysis system, a human musculoskeletal model with contacting conditions on footsteps and handles is modeled, and then joint torques and muscles forces are calculated by inverse dynamics of the musculoskeletal model with the motion data. Finally, the MVC ratios for the muscles are calculated and their statistical values are used as the measure of discomfort. To ensure the feasibility of our method, subjective discomfort levels have been investigated through the participants' experiments and questionnaires and compared to the results of our method. Comparing to the existing methods based on joint angles or torques, our approach provide a more essential criterion for discomfort because it is based on the muscle contraction by which an active human motion is basically generated.

NG-SDH 시스템에서는 시스템으로 들어오는 이더넷신호를 GFP 프레임으로의 신호동기가 필요하다. 지금까지 외국에서는 칩셋 개발이 완료되어 관련 기술을 확보하고 있지만 국내에서는 아직 확보하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 GFP를 통한 이더넷 신호의 동기화 방법을 제시하였다. GFP-F를 통한 이더넷 신호의 동기화 방법은 Ingress 및 Egress 버퍼와 GFP idle를 통해서 신호동기를 얻을 수 있음을 알았다. 또한 GFP-T를 통한 이더넷 신호의 동기화 방법은 GFP Idle과 $65B{\_}PAD$를 적용해야 하고, 최대 3비트까지 이더넷 Idle의 추가 및 삭제되어야 함을 알았다. 또한 신호특성 시뮬레이션을 통해서는 신호동기의 실현과 함께 Egress 출력에서의 MTIE와 TDEV 특성과 첨두치 지터를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 기존 LAN 응용뿐 아니라 다양한 3계층 프로토콜을 ATM 망상에서 서비스해주기 위하여 ATM 포럼에서 제안한 MPOA(multiProtocol Over ATM)를 구현하고 이를 테스트하였다. MPOA 호스트와 엣지 디바이스의 기본이 되는 MPC(MPOA Client)와 라우터 상에 존재하는 MPS(MPOA Server0의 작동 프로시져에 중점을 두어 구현하였다. 구현한 MPC의 기능은 LEC(LAN Emulation Client)와 프리미티브 교환 작업, Ingress와 Egress 캐쉬의 관리와 유지, 그리고 LEC를 통한 디폴트 전송과 지름길 전송들이다. 또한 MPS는 LEC와 프리미티브 교환, MPOA와 NHRP(Next Hop Resolution Protocol)사이의 프레임 변환 및 교환 그리고 Ingress/Egress 캐쉬 관리와 유지 등을 구현하였다. 구현된 MPOA시스템이 올바로 작동하는지 테스트하고자 가능한 모든 시나리오를 작성하여 시뮬레이션에 의해 테스트하였다.
