One of the most important elements of the management of chemical accident is threat zone estimation of fires, explosions and toxic gas dispersion based on chemical releases. The threat zone estimation is going to be standard of emergency response for the first defender and base line data of off-site risk assesment (hereinafter referred to as "ORA") and risk management plan (hereinafter referred to as "RMP"). Generally, ALOHA form EPA(U.S.) and Kora(from KOREA MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT) has been used for the off-site consequence analysis in Korea. However it is hard to predict accurate consequences rapidly in case of emergency. Hydrochloric acid is a multipurpose raw material used in many industrial applications such as chemical, metal and food industries. It is usually treated in concentrations from 10 ~ 35 %, and release accident have occurred frequently. In this study, we have developed a simplified estimating method and equation to calculate threat zone easily in case of emergency due to release accident of hydrochloric acid.

Purpose: After Mers breakout in 2015, major hospital in Korea have been renovated the emergency department to make a separate infection control zone for high-risk patient with potential infection and to improve a triage area and an entrance area for efficient patient evaluation. However, there are no specific design standards to reinforce infection control for patients and staffs safety. Therefore, it is important to establish of initial design factors in the triage and entrance area as a guideline. Methods: 5 cases which had been recently renovated are selected to analyze patient circulation and spatial composition in a triage area and an entrance area. The partial floor plans of each case are represented as bubble diagrams to help understanding of different patient circulation flows. Based on this analysis, significant design factors which should be considered in planning stage for infection control have been extracted. Results: 13 design factors are established. Using these design factors, patient circulation diagram is generated to provide an optimized suggestion for efficient infection control. Implications: This suggestion provides basic databases to start to establish design guideline in the triage area and the entrance area to minimize infection spreading in the emergency department.

대심도 실내공간에서 직면하는 재난상황에서 재실자는 종합적인 상황인지가 불가능하며, 공간지각 능력 저하로 황금시간 내 탈출이 쉽지 않다. 주어진 시간내 피난대피가 어려운 상황에서는 최대한 안전한 구역으로 이동 가능한 설계를 제시하여야 하는데, 본 연구에서는 실내 공간 보행 통행량 기반 평가 시뮬레이션인 PATS (Pedestrian movement based Assessment Toolkit for Simulation)을 활용하여, 복합환승센터 피난대피구역 적정 위치 선정을 위한 분석 체계를 수립하고, 지하 6층 대심도 복합환승센터의 시나리오 분석을 통해 피난대피 경로 상 문제점을 도출하여 이에 적합한 피난대피 구역 적정 위치를 제안하였다.

A study assessing driver acceptance level for various active safety systems against Korean drivers has been conducted. A 2013 Cadillac ATS model vehicle was tested along southern outskirt of Seoul including local roadway and interurban highway. Active safety systems included were FCA(Forward Collision Alert), LDW(Lane Departure Warning), SBZA(Side Blind Zone Alert), FRPA(Front/Rear Park Assist), RCTA(Rear Cross Traffic Alert), ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control), and AEB(Autonomous Emergency Braking). Participants experienced the FRPA, RCTA and AEB features in a controlled parking lot with a dummy vehicle and traffic cones as target obstacles. Remaining features have been tested on the accumulated stretched of 106 km long urban and interurban roadway. Series of questionnaires corresponding to each active safety systems have been conducted. Tentative results revealed that RCTA and SBZA systems received favourable ratings compared to the other ones.

Recently, location based service(LBS) expended based on personal specialized service, however since commercialized GPS based emergency rescue service comes with shadow zone for GPS signal such as inside building, the accuracy and reliability are not guaranteed. Therefore to improve such problem, we propose an active location detecting algorithm using RFID-TAG and Yagiantenna. To track the location of RFID-TAG where signal is generated, location tracking device in which Yagi-Antenna is installed moves around. Since directed wave and reflected wave co-exist during signal reception, final signal generated location is searched by setting up multiple of locations where signal can be generated on the map and moving location tracking device along minimum length of path. The algorithm proposed in this paper was verified of its technical validity through simulator.

Hazardous work zones (i.e., hot, warm, and cold) are typically established by emergency response teams during hazardous materials (HAZMAT) calls but less consistently for fire responses to segment personnel and response activities in the immediate geographic area around the fire. Despite national guidelines, studies have documented the inconsistent use of respiratory protective equipment by firefighters at the fire scene. In this case-series report, we describe warm zone gas levels using multigas detectors across five independent fire incident responses all occurring in a large South Florida fire department. Multigas detector data collected at each fire response indicate the presence of sustained levels of volatile organic compounds in the "warm zone" of each fire event. These cases suggest that firefighters should not only implement strategies for multigas detector use within the warm zone but also include respiratory protection to provide adequate safety from toxic exposures in the warm zone.

화학공장에서 현실적인 사고피해 최소화 대책수립 방법을 제시하기 위하여 API-581 절차를 이용하여 누출 시 나리오를 설정하고, 정량적 원인분석이 가능한 한국형 위험기반검사(KS-RBI) 프로그램을 사용하여 사고 영향범위를 산출하였다. 그리고 위험성 평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 화학공장의 사고피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 4가지 누출공의 크기(소, 중, 대 및 파열)와 검출 및 차단 시스템의 등급에 따른 누출시간을 사용하고, 고장빈도에 의한 가중평균과 최악의 누출의 경우를 동시에 고려한 피해면적을 산출하여 비상조치계획을 수립하는 것이 바람직하였다.

본 연구에서는 화학사고 및 화학테러 대응 시 화학물질로부터 인명 및 환경을 보호하기 위한 경계구역 설정에 관하여 국·내외 사례 조사를 바탕으로 우리나라 실정에 적합한 경계구역 선정 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 현재 다양한 관계부처에서는 공통적으로 hot zone, warm zone, cold zone으로 구분하여 사용 중이나 특정 지역에 대해서는 용어 활용 측면에서 상이한 의미로 혼용되고 있다. 따라서 경계구역을 기존 3개 지역에서 hot zone, warm zone, cold zone, safety zone 4개 지역으로 구분하여 활용할 것을 제시하였다. 그리고 warm zone을 관심지역, safety zone을 안전지역으로 용어를 정립하도록 한다. 기존에 적용하던 ERPG 급성노출기준은 다양한 노출시간을 고려하지 않기 때문에 장시간 노출상황 적용에 적합하지 않으므로 적용 우선순위를 AEGL, ERPG, PAC, IDLHs 순으로 하도록 한다. CARIS 정보제공 방안은 확산평가가 가능한 물질 또는 불가능한 물질이거나 실내누출 상황으로 구분하고 풍향신뢰선과 ERG의 초기이격거리 및 방호활동거리를 함께 표현하여 현장대응 및 주민대피 결정 정보자료로 활용될 수 있도록 한다.

This study examined the drivers' acceptance level of various active safety features with Korean drivers on Seoul urban and city roads. The test vehicle, 2013 Cadillac ATS, was equipped with FCA(Forward Collision Alert), LDW(Lane Departure Warning), SBZA(Side Blind Zone Alert), FRPA(Front/Rear Park Assist), RCTA(Rear Cross Traffic Alert), ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control), and AEB(Autonomous Emergency Braking). Participants had chances to run the tests on those systems in the parking lot accompanied by the 106km long stretch of predetermined route including local road and interurban highway in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do under normal traffic flowing environment. After the test, participants completed a series of questionnaires about the features they experienced. The results revealed that RCTA and SBZA systems received more favourable ratings compared to the other features in avoiding crashes. The respondents preferred sound alerts to haptic ones even though haptic warning methods were better in providing directional information.
