An energy storage system is composed of lithium-ion batteries in modern applications. Batteries are regarded as storage devices for renewable and residual energy. The failure of batteries can cause the performance reduction and explosion of battery systems. High maintenance cost is essential when dealing with the problem of battery safety. Therefore an accurate health diagnosis is required to ensure the high reliability of battery systems. A battery pack is a combination of single cells in series and parallel connections. A battery pack has to consider various factors to assess battery health. Battery health involves conventional factors and additional factors, such as cell-to-cell imbalance. For large applications, state-of-health (SOH) can be inaccurate because of the lack of factors that indicate the state of the battery pack. In this study, six characterization factors are proposed for improving the SOH estimation of battery packs. The six proposed characterization factors can be regarded as health indicators (HIs). The six HIs are applied to the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm. To reflect information regarding capacity, voltage, and temperature, the PCA algorithm extracts new degradation factors by using the six HIs. The new degradation factors are applied to a multiple regression model. Results show the advancement and improvement of SOH estimation.

선박 충돌 사고는 경제적 손실, 인명피해 등 다양한 부정적 상황을 초래할 수 있기 때문에 사고를 예방하기 위한 다각적인 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 사고 예방을 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 선박 충돌 사고 예방을 위한 새로운 선행 지표를 제안한다. 기존 연구에서는 특정 해역에서 선박들간의 거리를 고려하여 충돌위험을 표현하였지만 이를 다른 해역에 적용하기 위해서는 모델을 새로 개발해야하는 단점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 선박 운항 정보인 AIS(Automatic Identification System) 데이터를 활용하여 해역의 환경과 운항의 특징을 포함한 밀도기반 선박 도메인 DESD(Density based Empirical Ship Domain)을 정의하였다. 각 해역별로 만들어진 2차원의 DESD를 대상으로 Deep Clustering을 적용하여 유사한 운항 환경을 가진 해역들을 군집화 한다. 군집화된 해역과 선박 충돌 사고의 연관성 분석을 통해 해역의 특징별로 사고의 발생여부가 달라짐을 통계적으로 검정하여 DESD가 사고의 선행 지표로서 활용될 수 있음을 증명하였다.

국내 공동주택의 지속가능한 화재안전성능을 유지하고 확보하기 위한 대책은 일반 소방대상물에 비해 우수한 소방제품의 적용, 기술인력 확보, 관리실태 등에서 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 또한 화재 시 방호공간의 특성상 인명피해가 발생할 가능성이 높은 구조적인 문제점을 가지고 있다. 현재 공동주택에 설치된 화재시스템의 문제점은 각 세대에 설치된 화재감지기의 성능을 실시간 확인할 수 없으며, 경계구역이 세대별로 설정되어 있지 않아 정확한 화재발생지점을 파악하기 어렵고, 거주자가 화재발생을 확실하게 인지할 수 없는 상태로 안전한 대피를 하지 못하는 실정이다. 또한 세대 외부에서 스프링클러소화설비의 유수검지장치 작동성능시험을 할 수 없는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개발한 원격화재시스템의 성능평가를 위하여 실험을 실시하였으며, 성능실험결과 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 각 세대마다 세대경보장치를 설치하여 화재발생을 정확하게 경보할 수 있도록 하여 거주자가 신속히 대피할 수 있는 경보장치의 성능을 개선하였다.

The Highway Capacity Manual specifies procedures for evaluating intersection performance in terms of delay per vehicle. What is lacking in the current methodology is a comparable quantitative procedure for ass~ssing the safety-based level of service provided to motorists. The objective of the research described herein was to develop a computational procedure for evaluating the safety-based level of service of signalized intersections based on the relative hazard of alternative intersection designs and signal timing plans. Conflict opportunity models were developed for those crossing, diverging, and stopping maneuvers which are associated with left-turn and rear-end accidents. Safety¬based level-of-service criteria were then developed based on the distribution of conflict opportunities computed from the developed models. A case study evaluation of the level of service analysis methodology revealed that the developed safety-based criteria were not as sensitive to changes in prevailing traffic, roadway, and signal timing conditions as the traditional delay-based measure. However, the methodology did permit a quantitative assessment of the trade-off between delay reduction and safety improvement. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) specifies procedures for evaluating intersection performance in terms of a wide variety of prevailing conditions such as traffic composition, intersection geometry, traffic volumes, and signal timing (1). At the present time, however, performance is only measured in terms of delay per vehicle. This is a parameter which is widely accepted as a meaningful and useful indicator of the efficiency with which an intersection is serving traffic needs. What is lacking in the current methodology is a comparable quantitative procedure for assessing the safety-based level of service provided to motorists. For example, it is well¬known that the change from permissive to protected left-turn phasing can reduce left-turn accident frequency. However, the HCM only permits a quantitative assessment of the impact of this alternative phasing arrangement on vehicle delay. It is left to the engineer or planner to subjectively judge the level of safety benefits, and to evaluate the trade-off between the efficiency and safety consequences of the alternative phasing plans. Numerous examples of other geometric design and signal timing improvements could also be given. At present, the principal methods available to the practitioner for evaluating the relative safety at signalized intersections are: a) the application of engineering judgement, b) accident analyses, and c) traffic conflicts analysis. Reliance on engineering judgement has obvious limitations, especially when placed in the context of the elaborate HCM procedures for calculating delay. Accident analyses generally require some type of before-after comparison, either for the case study intersection or for a large set of similar intersections. In e.ither situation, there are problems associated with compensating for regression-to-the-mean phenomena (2), as well as obtaining an adequate sample size. Research has also pointed to potential bias caused by the way in which exposure to accidents is measured (3, 4). Because of the problems associated with traditional accident analyses, some have promoted the use of tqe traffic conflicts technique (5). However, this procedure also has shortcomings in that it.requires extensive field data collection and trained observers to identify the different types of conflicts occurring in the field. The objective of the research described herein was to develop a computational procedure for evaluating the safety-based level of service of signalized intersections that would be compatible and consistent with that presently found in the HCM for evaluating efficiency-based level of service as measured by delay per vehicle (6). The intent was not to develop a new set of accident prediction models, but to design a methodology to quantitatively predict the relative hazard of alternative intersection designs and signal timing plans.

Structural displacement is an important indicator for assessing structural safety. For structural displacement monitoring, vision-based displacement measurement systems have been widely developed; however, most systems estimate only 1 or 2-DOF translational displacement. To monitor the 6-DOF structural displacement with high accuracy, a vision-based displacement measurement system with a uniquely designed marker is proposed in this paper. The system is composed of a uniquely designed marker and a camera with a zooming capability, and relative translational and rotational displacement between the marker and the camera is estimated by finding a homography transformation. The novel marker is designed to make the system robust to measurement noise based on a sensitivity analysis of the conventional marker and it has been verified through Monte Carlo simulation results. The performance of the displacement estimation has been verified through two kinds of experimental tests; using a shaking table and a motorized stage. The results show that the system estimates the structural 6-DOF displacement, especially the translational displacement in Z-axis, with high accuracy in real time and is robust to measurement noise.

Tilt is a key indicator of structural safety. Real-time monitoring of tilt responses helps to evaluate structural condition, enable cost-effective maintenance, and enhance lifetime resilience. This paper presents a prototype wireless sensing system for structural tilt measurement. Long range (LoRa) technology is adopted by the sensing system to offer long-range wireless communication with low power consumption. The sensor integrates a gyroscope and an accelerometer as the sensing module. Although tilt can be estimated from the gyroscope or the accelerometer measurements, these estimates suffer from either drift issue or high noise. To address this challenging issue and obtain more reliable tilt results, two sensor fusion algorithms, the complementary filter and the Kalman filter, are investigated to fully exploit the advantages of both gyroscope and accelerometer measurements. Numerical simulation is carried out to validate and compare the sensor fusion algorithms. Laboratory experiment is conducted on a simply supported beam under moving vehicle load to further investigate the performance of the proposed wireless tilt sensing system.

In this paper, a robust wireless sensor network configuration design method is proposed to develop the optimal configuration under the consideration of sensor failure and energy consumption. A malfunctioned sensor in a wireless sensor network may lead to data transmission failure of the entire sensing cluster, inducing severe deterioration in system identification performance. The proposed method determines a wireless sensor network configuration that is robust against sensor failure. By utilizing Bayesian inference, we introduce a robust indicator to evaluate the impact on estimation accuracy of sensor configurations with various malfunctioned sensors. Moreover, a network formation strategy is proposed to optimize the energy efficiency of the wireless sensor network configuration. Therefore, the resultant robust wireless sensor network configuration can operate with the minimum energy consumption while the measurement information of the sensor network with malfunctioned sensors can be guaranteed. The proposed method is illustrated by designing the robust wireless sensor network configurations of a truss model and a bridge model.

지금까지 연안 양식장의 지속적인 생산 및 체계적인 관리를 위해 어장환경용량 산정 및 활용에 관하여 많은 연구가 선행되어 왔다. 그러나, 생태학적 부하를 고려한 지속적 적정 생산을 위해서는 4가지 계층구조(물리적 수용능력, 생산 수용능력, 생태학적 수용능력 및 사회적 수용능력)에 의한 어장환경용량 산정 개념을 활용할 수 있다. 생태학적 수용 능력 산정의 경우, 환경과 패류 양식의 상호작용에 관한 좀 더 전체적인 접근이 필요하여 아직까지 모델 개발은 초기 단계에 있으므로, 이에 대한 대안접근으로 패류양식장이 해양생태계의 가능을 어떻게 변화시킬 수 있는지 패류양식장의 생태적 효율을 평가할 수 있는 생태지표의 필요성이 대두되었다. 현재 거제한산만 굴양식장의 정화율 생태지표는 0.331, 여과압 생태지표는 0.203으로 계산되었으며, 이는 연안 생태계에 부하를 주지 않는 생태학적 수용 능력인 0.05를 초과하고 있음을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 생태학적 수용 능력의 개념에 근거한 생태지표를 거제한산만에 적용하여, 현재의 굴 양식장의 개발 수준이 어느 정도인지를 평가하여 지속적인 생산과 효과적인 양식어장 관리 지침으로 활용하는 방안을 마련하고자 하였다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze 'response time', 'peak response time' and 'overshoot value' for each muscle by applying the EMG signal to the vehicle response in ISO 7401 and to quantify the response of the driver according to vehicle characteristics by comparing vehicle characteristics and muscle responses of the driver. Background: The Open-loop test defined in international standards ISO 7401 is the only method for evaluating the performance of the vehicle. However, this test was focused only on mechanical responses, not driver's ones. Method: One skilled male driver(22 yrs. experience) was participated in this experiment to measure muscle activities of the driver in transient state. Then the seven muscle signals were applied to calculate 'response time', 'peak response time', and 'overshoot value'. Results: In the analyses of the EMG data, the effects of vehicle type and muscle were statistically significant on the 'response time' and 'peak response time'. Also, the effects of vehicle type, muscle, and lateral acceleration level were statistically significant on the 'overshoot value' in this study. According to the analyses of the vehicle motion data, vehicle motion variable(LatAcc, Roll, YawVel) was statistically significant on the 'response time' and vehicle type, vehicle motion variable, and lateral acceleration level were statistically significant on the 'peak response time', respectively. Conclusion: In the analyses of the 'response time' and 'overshoot value', the data of muscle activities(EMGs) was better index that could evaluate the vehicle characteristic and performance than the data of vehicle motion. In case of peak response time, both EMG and vehicle motion data were good index. Application: The EMGs data from a driver might be applicable as index for evaluation of various vehicle performances based on this study.
