본 논문에서는 해상 위험유해물질(Hazardous Noxious Substances, HNS) 사고의 효과적인 대응을 위해 개발된 부유식 무인이동체 기반 광역탐지 및 모니터링 시스템의 운용 시나리오 설계와 실험 검증 내용을 보인다. 광역탐지 및 모니터링 시스템은 장시간 운용이 가 능하되 제한적 이동이 가능한 무계류형 부이 형태를 갖는 부유식 무인이동체 플랫폼을 기반으로 개발되었으며 임무 수행에 필요한 열화 상 카메라, 레이더, 부유 및 대기 HNS의 탐지를 위한 센서가 탑재되었다. 실험 검증 과정에서는 탐지 센서 성능을 야외 환경에서 실험적 으로 검증하기 위해 이동식 가스 유출 시스템(Portable Gas-exposure System, PGS)을 추가로 설치하였다. 무인 시스템의 원격 및 자율 운용을 위해 전체 운용 소프트웨어는 로봇운영체제(Robot Operating System, ROS) 프레임워크를 기반으로 통합되었다. 내수면 및 실해역에서의 실 험을 통해 개발된 시스템의 운용 및 활용 가능성을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

IEC 60079-10-1 edition 2.0, the global standard for hazardous area classification, was newly revised in 2015. There are many differences compared to the previous edition 1.0 version, first released in 2008, so it has caused confusion in the industry. In case of edition 1.0, the hazardous area extent can be derived through the mathematical formula, but in case of edition 2.0, there was the problem that the exact hazardous area extent was not known because of the mathematical formula of the plot for applying the hazardous area extent was not presented. In this study, we converted the plot introduced in edition 2.0 to CAD format and derived the plot as the mathematical equations. Through this, we suggest the hazardous area extent formula of three states (heavy gas, diffusive, jet). As the IEC committee did not provide the mathematical formula of the hazardous area extent according to the release characteristic, it is impossible to apply the exact hazardous area extent. In this study, a mathematical approach was derived for the plot introduced in edition 2.0, which can reduce the confusion of the applying hazardous area extent.

Classify of explosion hazardous areas must be made at the site where flammable materials are used. This reason is that it is necessary to manage ignition sources in of explosion hazardous areas in order to reduce the risk of explosion. If such an explosion hazard area is widened, it becomes difficult to increase the number of ignition sources to be managed. The method using the virtual volume currently used is much wider than the result using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). Therefore, we tried to improve the current method to compare with the new method using leakage characteristics. The result is a realistic explosion hazard if the light gas is calibrated to the mass and the heavy gas is calibrated to the lower explosion limit. However, it is considered that the safety factors should be taken into account in the calculated correction formula because such a problem should be considered as a buffer for safety.
