지난 4월16일 발생된 세월호의 사고는 300명 이상의 인명피해가 발생되는 대형 참사로 기록되고 있다. 이로 인하여 국내외적인 국객이 현저히 추락하고 해상에서의 안전에 관한 후진적 이미지가 강하게 각인되었다. 그간 우리나라는 고도 성장기를 거쳐 경제적 성장은 이루었으나 국민생활의 안전지수는 후진성을 면치 못하고 있음을 반영하고 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 점을 인식하여 연안여객항로의 현황과 운영 실태를 분석하고, 안전한 해상여객운송을 위한 개선..

Various motors have been used in many cars to control the height of automotive seats. As the motor is connected with seat, it can be moved as the convenience of passenger and vibration affects passenger when motor is being driven. In this study, three models are designed. The lengths of link parts and screw axes are increased or decreased respectively in the order of models 1, 2 and 3. The case of motor is made of aluminum alloy and the rest is made of structural steel. As model 1 has the maximum amplitude displacement at 1360Hz by the basis of vibration analysis, model 1 has the most durability among three models. This study result can be effectively utilized with the design on height motor by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.

Among many potential problems associated with passenger cars, the problem regarded as most sensitive and important to the customers is the passenger car’s quietness. In particular, because the trend toward the high-performance passenger cars is increasing, the quietness should be considered reflecting the increasing demand of the customers for the comfort of passenger car ride. Road noises are of low-frequency in the region of 20Hz to 350Hz, generated when the tires are making contacts with the rough road surface while the passenger car is running, in which the noises are resonating within the passenger compartment or with the passenger car suspension. In this research, among the factors related to the road noises, the influencing factors associated with the suspension and the tire design were investigated. In particular, among the tire design factors, the structure and the rubber material were investigated as the influencing factors, and for the investigative purpose, experimental tires were manufactured and road noise evaluations were conducted thorough actual feeling tests. Then the test results and correlations were analyzed using the 6-Sigma statistical method.

The purposes of this study are to survey stereotypes of control-display relationships for seven principal controls in passenger cars using the paper-pencil and hardware tests, and to examine stereotype strength of the paper-pencil test through comparing the stereotypes for the controls derived by the two methods. Ninety two and 60 college-aged students participated in the paper-pencil test and the real car simulation of the hardware test, respectively. There are dominant motion-directions for all controls in the paper-pencil test, while in the hardware test, there are dominant motion-directions for six controls including head light, high beam, door window, ignition key, door key and door lock controls. The stereotypes of motion-directions for six controls obtained by the paper-pencil test were the same as or similar to those by the hardware test. It was inferred from this that the congruence of the stereotypes by the two methods might be attributed to two simple motion-direction principles of 'clockwise for increase' and 'upward for increase.' Although it is known that the hardware test would be best for obtaining accurate stereotypes between controls and displays, this study implies that if the paper-pencil test is well designed, the paper-pencil test can produce the same results as the hardware test at low cost and without consuming time.

The shape of tire footprint is one of the important factor which affects to the performance of tire such as handling, ride and wear. In this study, the effect of the stiffness for tire footprint is investigated. Some tires on the market were selected and tested the vertical stiffness, lateral stiffness by stiffness measuring system. And the contact length, contact width and contact area are tested, too. The contact width and length is reduced by the increase of the tire stiffness. According to the change of the tire stiffness, the leading edge and trailing edge in the footprint have a different shape.

For the matter of elevator, one of the multi-use facilities for unspecified public, the JIS has re-established and reformed to apply to the environment in South Korea for the past 20 years. In the aspect of safety assurance, it was inevitable to suggest improved measures. The government, Ministry of Public Administration and Security has secured the safety by enhancing the safety management functions in the elevator inspection standards and expanding its safety device measures. Further, the international inspection standard has been introduced, which is about unifying inspection standard system into the international standard code. In March 14th 2012, the international standard (EN) has been amended and fully announced. Escalator and passenger conveyor among lift devices have several common danger factor that cause safety accident. First, the accident caused by decreased braking power of brake. Second, the accident caused by the rate difference between handrail and tread-board. Third, the accident caused by defects of contraflow preventing device or carelessness inspection. Fourth, the accident caused by wet tread-board or wet floor of platform which makes passenger slip and fall. As the improvements to prevent and reduce these negligent accidents, the inspection list to check and methods should be subdivided and applied for each accident likelihood cause for safety management enhancement and safety assurance of existing escalator and passenger conveyors. The escalators and passenger conveyors without safety devices in existence should be obliged to modify the part of the system or install additional safety device. With making these measures obligations, it requires to improve the system to be suitable for the international inspection standard and to have measures to prevent safety accidents. It also needs to arrange improvements for skid accident of tread-board by the external environment factors such as snow and rain.

The aims of this study are to investigate stereotypes of motion-direction and real motion-directions for seven principal controls in passenger cars, and to compare the stereotypes and real motion-directions for the controls. The stereotypes were obtained by using questionnaire survey, in which 385 subjects participated. The real motion-direction data were gathered for 64 passenger cars including RVs and SUVs. The results showed that while there are dominant motion-directions for head light, door key and door lock controls, dominant motion-directions are not found for other controls investigated in this study. The stereotypes of motion-directions for seven controls obtained in this study were much different from those of the real data. Furthermore, the stereotypes for wiper, head light and high beam controls based on the questionnaire survey were opposite to the real motion-directions.

The human activity of most what kind of form belongs in the vibration. For example, we listen in order for the eardrum membrane to vibrate and for the light to fluctuate in order and we make see. The breath is relating in the vibration of the lung and walking becomes accomplished in compliance with the periodic oscillatory motion of the arm and the leg. With technical advancement joins in, the vibration of the passenger cars is influencing many in sound arresting and riding in a car feeling of the vehicle. Gradually the field where the vibration isolation and decrement technique automobile plan is important according to being turning out, the necessity of the measurement which the passenger cars vibration is accurate and analysis was augmented.

효율적인 도로의 설계와 관리를 위해서는 도로건설의 경제성 분석이 중요하며 이를 위해서는 도로 상태별 차량별 유류소모량의 평가가 필요하다. 도로에서는 초기 건설비용, 유지보수비용, 차량운행비용, 지정체비용 등이 발생되는데, 도로의 경제성 분석을 위해서는 초기 건설비용, 유지보수비용 등과 같은 관리자비용과 차량운행비용, 지정체비용 등과 같은 이용자비용을 모두 포함한 사회적 비용이 고려되어야 한다. 이 중 차량운행비용은 교통량에 따라 그 비용이 변화되므로 차량운행비용 항목의 큰 부분을 차지하는 유류소모량 또한 교통량에 따라 변화하게 된다. 그런데 유류소모량은 차량의 주행속도 및 도로포장의 상태, 특히 평탄성에 따라 크게 변화되므로 도로의 경제성 분석을 위한 차량운행비용의 산정을 위해서는 주행차량에 대해 도로 상태에 따른 유류소모량을 평가하여 경제성 분석에 반영해야 할 필요가 있으나 아직 이를 고려하지 못하고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 운행되는 승용차에 대해서 도로 상태별 유류소모량 추정모델을 개발하였다. 우선 우리나라의 교통시설 투자평가 및 도로건설의 예비타당성 조사에서 차량운행비용 산정을 위해 사용되고 있는 주행속도와 유류소모량의 관계식을 고찰하고, 승용차를 대상으로 도로포장의 평탄성에 따른 유류소모량 변화의 관계를 실제 도로에서 실측하여 평탄성과 유류소모량 변화의 관계를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 평탄성에 따른 유류소모량의 변화는 평탄성이 1m/km 증가하였을 경우 100km 주행시 약 80ml 정도의 비율로 유류소모량이 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 도로의 설계 및 유지관리에 있어서 보다 정확한 경제성 분석을 수행하기 위해서는 도로포장의 평탄성에 따른 유류소모량 변화를 고려해야 할 필요가 있다.

For the purpose of the enhancement of the air conditioner performance and fuel effciency, several cases of centrifugal impeller for passenger car air conditioner have been numerically analyzed by changing central angle of blades and length of outlet for shape optimization of the impeller. Commercial CFD program Fluent 6.3.26 has been used to compute velocity, temperature, pressure and turbulence intensity that can lead numerous results. The central angles of two blades and three cases of outlet length led 4～12% and 3.5～6.4% differences of velocity and flow rate, respectively. The velocity distribution near the blade surface was axisymmetric and had a maximum value of 22.19 m/s and velocity of the vertical direction of the impeller showed linear increase with horizontal direction. At case 3 of oultet length, there existed a a minimum pressure value of -133320 Pa.

This paper examines the applicability of formal safety assessment to the passenger ships. This is followed by an analysis of passenger ship characteristics and a proposed formal safety assessment methodology. Five interlocking steps are described to construct a safety model including novel risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis and decision-making approaches. A case study is carried out in order to demonstrate the proposed methodology. Further development in formal safety assessment in the context of passenger ship safety is finally discussed in detail.

Most real world design evaluation and risk-based decision support combine quantitative and qualitative (linguistic) variables. Decision making based on conventional mathematics that combines qualitative and quantitative concepts always exhibit difficulty in modelling actual problems. The successful selection process for choosing a design/procurement proposal is based on a high degree of technical integrity, safety levels and low costs in construction, corrective measures, maintenance, operation, inspection and preventive measures. In this paper, a design decision support framework using a composite structure methodology grounded in approximate reasoning approach and evidential reasoning method is suggested for design evaluation of machinery space of a ship engine room at the initial stages. An illustrative example is used to demonstrate the application of the proposed framework.

According to a statistics, in recent three years number of traffic accident and casualty remain stand still while casualty by car to car side crash has been increased. This phenomenon is attributed to the two main factors. One is vehicle structure and the other is vehicle safety regulation which does not appropriately reflect current market situation. The distance from vehicle side door to occupant is kind of short compare to vehicle front to occupant, so the likelihood of occupant injury or death at side crash accident is higher than any other types of accident. Even Korean government runs to evaluate and improve vehicle side impact crashworthiness, this program does not reflect current vehicle fleet cause it is based on vehicle fleet of more than 20 years ago. In this paper, three sets of car to car side impact test have done to evaluate occupant injury probability and aggressivity of SUV to passenger vehicle, and based on this result the way to reduce injury and fatality likelihood at side crash is recommended.

Vehicle drivers are subject to be exposed to high concentrations of airborne pollutants emitted from vehicles on roads. To investigate the indoor air quality of vehicles on roads, black carbon (BC) was measured inside a passenger car commuting between the residential area in southern Seoul and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in northern Seoul using a portable aethalometer. When the vehicular windows were closed, the ventilation mode was set to fresh air mode (or circulation mode) for a total of thirteen runs made during May 2005. When the windows were open, the analysis was made with the system turned off (for twelve runs in October 2005). The BC concentration depended on such parameters as spatial location, time of day, and ventilation mode. The average BC concentration measured on non-express ways was higher than those measured on express ways, inside KIST, and nearby the residential area for most runs. On circulation mode, the average BC concentration was 5.9±1.7 ㎍/㎥ in the afternoon or evening, which was similar to a 24-hr average BC concentration for ambient air at 200 m apart from a road in Seoul. In the case of fresh air mode, the average BC concentrations measured in the morning rush hour, in the afternoon or evening, and after midnight were 22.8±3.4, 15.9±7.7, 3.7 ㎍/㎥, respectively. The average BC concentrations measured with the vehicular window open were 31.9±9.2, 19.4±5.9 ㎍/㎥, respectively in the morning rush hour and in the afternoon or evening. These measured values were higher than those measured with the windows closed. The average BC concentrations inside a passenger car with a fresh mode operation or open-window driving were significantly higher than a 24-hr average BC concentration measured at 200 m apart from a road in Seoul.

선박에서 선내 소음이 문제로 인식되기 시작한 시기는 1970년대 초반 유럽에서 선박소음규제를 명문화하기 시작하였다. 이후 1982년 국제해사기구(IMO)에서 "International Code on Noise Levels on Board Ships"가 채택되어 오늘날에는 거의 모든 신조 선박에 대하여 해당하는 조항의 적용이 명문화되었다. 특히, 대형의 디젤기관과 다수의 보조기계가 동시에 운전되어지는 기관실 내부는 크고 복잡한 소음이 발생하는 환경으로 되어지고, 이러한 환경에서 작업하는 작업자는 소음성난청으로 되기 쉽다. 최근에는 각 나라별로 직업상의 난청으로부터 작업자를 보호할 목적으로 허용소음 폭로 시간을 법적으로 규제하고 있다. 우리나라에서는 근로기준법에서 정의하고 있지만 선박의 기관실과같이 특수한 조건에 대해서 국제해사기구의 규정에 따르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 서남 연안을 정기적으로 운항하고 있는 화객선에 대한 소음의 정도를 조사하였다
