When doing maintenance works at the trackside of railway, the method which delivers information on approaching of train to maintenance workers through alarm devices such as the flag or indication light, etc., is being used by locating persons in charge of safety alarm in addition to the maintenance workers at fixed distances in the front and rear of the workplace. Workers maintaining at the trackside may collide with the train since they cannot recognize the approach of train although it approaches to the vicinity of maintenance workplace because of the sensory block phenomenon occurred due to their long hours of continued monotonous maintenance work. The clash or rear-end collision accidents between many maintenance trains called motor-cars can be occurred since there are cases where the signal systems for safe operation of motor-car such as track circuit etc. are blocked or not operated normally. We developed the new safety equipment for protection of trackside maintenance workers using radio frequency signals and bidirectional detection mechanism. The developed safety equipment must analyze the several operational mechanism for each different operation situations. In this paper the analysis results are represented.

Recently Digital-TachoGraph(DTG) was mounted mandatorily in commercial vehicles(Taxi, Bus, etc.). DTG records accurate and detailed information of the running state of vehicles related to traffic accident, such as Time, Distance, Velocity, RPM, Brake ON/OFF, GPS, Azimuth, Acceleration. Thus those standardized data can play an important role in traffic accident investigation and reconstruction. To develope the accurate and objective method using the DTG data for the reconstruction of traffic accident, we had conducted several tests such as driving test, high speed circuit test, braking test, slalom test at Korea Automobile Testing & Research Institute(KATRI), and collision test at Korea Automobile insurance repair Research and Training center(KART) with the vehicle equipped with several DTG. Development of the program which enables the reading and analysis of the DTG data was followed. In the experiments, we have found velocity error, RPM error, brake signal error and azimuth error in several products, and also non-continuous event data. The cause of these errors was deduced to be related to the correction factor, the durability of electronic parts and the algorithm.

Recently, as Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and self-driving system become influential in the ground transportation system, automotive radar systems have been actively studied among the various radar systems to implement the vehicle collision detection system and distance measurement system between vehicles. Most of the automotive radars are Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar type which can calculate distance and velocity of target by estimating the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and received signal. Therefore, accurate frequency estimation is very important in the FMCW radar system. For this reason, to improve the measurement accuracy of the FMCW radar, Reverse Directional FRI (RD-FRI) Super-Resolution technique which has high frequency estimation accuracy is applied to the FMCW radar system. The feasibility of the proposed technique is evaluated with simulation results and compared with FFT and conventional Super-Resolution techniques. The simulation results show that the proposed technique estimates the frequency with high accuracy and the distance with centimeter accuracy.

The reach truck, which is mainly used in warehouses, is required to have high-mast to improve its working efficiency and space utilization. The high-mast takes advantage of more vertical space but severe vibrations are easily generated at the end of the high-mast. These vibrations may cause a collision or misplacement of loading location at work. In this study, the vibration characteristics of a three-stage high-mast of a reach truck are analyzed, and an active vibration controller verified through a similar experiment is designed to reduce this vibration. A similar experiment for reach truck mast verifies the performance of the active vibration controller. By applying an active vibration controller designed for a real reach truck, the operations of the reach truck are made more efficient through the reduction of the vibration amplitude.

In recent times, Natural User Interface/Natural User Experience (NUI/NUX) technology has found widespread application across a diverse range of fields and is also utilized for controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Even if the user controls the UAV by utilizing the NUI/NUX technology, it is difficult for the user to easily control the UAV. The user needs an autopilot to easily control the UAV. The user needs a flight path to use the autopilot. The user sets the flight path based on the waypoints. UAVs normally fly straight from one waypoint to another. However, if flight between two waypoints is in a straight line, UAVs may collide with obstacles. In order to solve collision problems, flight records can be utilized to adjust the generated path taking the locations of the obstacles into consideration. This paper proposes a natural path generation method between waypoints based on flight records collected through UAVs flown by users. Bayesian probability is utilized to select paths most similar to the flight records to connect two waypoints. These paths are generated by selection of the center path corresponding to the highest Bayesian probability. While the K-means algorithm-based straight-line method generated paths that led to UAV collisions, the proposed method generates paths that allow UAVs to avoid obstacles.

In recent years, with the development of automobile technology, smart system technology that assists safe driving has been developed. A camera is installed on the front and rear of the vehicle as well as on the left and right sides to detect and warn of collision risks and hazards. Beyond the technology of simple black-box recording via cameras, we are developing intelligent systems that combine various computer vision technologies. However, most related studies have been developed to optimize performance in laboratory-like environments that do not take environmental factors such as weather into account. In this paper, we propose a method to detect object by restoring visibility in image with degraded image due to weather factors such as fog. First, the image quality degradation such as fog is detected in a single image, and the image quality is improved by restoring using an intermediate value filter. Then, we used an adaptive feature extraction method that removes unnecessary elements such as noise from the improved image and uses it to recognize objects with only the necessary features. In the proposed method, it is shown that more feature points are extracted than the feature points of the region of interest in the improved image.

본 연구에서는 무인기가 운용 중에 고장이 발생하여 추락함으로써 발생할 수 있는 지상 충돌 위험을 정량적으로 계산하기 위한 지상 충돌 위험 모델을 개발하였다. 지상 충돌 위험 모델은 무인기 고장 확률, 무인기가 지상에 추락하여 사람과 충돌할 확률, 무인기가 사람과 충돌했을 때 인명 피해가 발생할 확률을 이용하여 계산된다. 본 연구에서는 무인기 운용의 지상 충돌 위험을 평가하기 위해 수학적으로 각 확률을 유도하였다. 또한 무인기와의 충돌에 노출되는 인구수를 추정하기 위해 인구 밀도 맵, 건폐율 맵, 차량 교통량 데이터베이스를 활용하였다. 최종적으로 대전에서 두 가지 무인기 경로에 대한 운영을 가정하여 각 무인기 경로에 대한 지상 충돌 위험을 평가하였다.

Urban Air Mobility is expected to resolve some problems in urban transportation such as traffic congestion and air pollution. Various studies for a large-scale commercialization of UAM are being actively conducted. To that end, the UAM Traffic Management system aims at securing a safety and an efficiency of UAM operations. In this study, a risk assessment model is proposed to evaluate the risk of collision between a vehicle and surrounding obstacles. The proposed model is conceived from the past studies for determining a proper separation distance between parallel runways for their independent operations. The model calculates the risk that the surveillance system fails to meet a target level of safety for a given buffer zone size between a designed route and surrounding obstacles. The model is applied to one of the routes proposed in K-UAM roadmap to evaluate its performances.

위치 측정 기술의 발달로 인해 다양한 서비스들이 개발 되어 현대 사회에 제공되고 있다. 이러한 서비스들 중 GPS는 현재 우리 사회에 깊숙이 녹아 들어와 핸드폰, 내비게이션, 배송처리, 차량 위치 파악, 긴급구조서비스, 항공 및 선박 항법장치, DSLR 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. GPS는 위성신호를 수신하여 위치를 파악하기 때문에 위성신호를 수신할 때 공간상의 제약이 있고, 매우 민감하게 방해요소에 의해 간섭을 받을 수 있다. 차량이 충돌위험 발생시 GPS가 방해요소로 인해 수신되지 않으면 충돌회피를 위한 시스템이 제대로 작동하지 못할 우려가 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPS가 수신율이 떨어지는 터널, 고가도로, 지하주차장과 같은 장소에서의 WLAN을 기반으로 한 위치측정 기술을 이용하여 차량의 충돌회피를 방지하기 위한 프로토콜을 제안한다.
