PURPOSES : This paper aims to summarize the findings of studies related to driving safety in long tunnels, and based on these findings, evaluate the risk in driving safety in consecutive tunnels. METHODS: After evaluating the risk in consecutive tunnels, it was verified that driving safety depends on the tunnel length of the consecutive tunnels and the interval between the tunnels. The experimental devices used in this study were a virtual driving simulator and PolyG-I system, measuring, driving speed and among driver's brain waves, theta wave that represents drowsiness or inner conscious states. RESULTS: The results of experiment I showed that, in consecutive tunnels, the variation of speed was higher and the theta wave increased at similar points in comparison with that for long tunnels, demonstrating the risk in consecutive tunnels. The results of experiment II revealed that the variation of speed was the highest in the shortest tunnel (250 m) and the risk of overspeeding was the highest in the longest tunnel (900 m). Additionally, among the consecutive tunnels, the longer tunnels significantly increased the overall theta wave in the tunnels, increasing the risk of drowsy driving. CONCLUSIONS: Of the three scenarios, it was concluded that safety was highest when the tunnel length was set to 600 m.

본 연구는 연안여객선 안전관리 향상을 위해 우선적으로 개선되어야 할 요인을 도출하고, 안전관리 주체 간 인식차이를 분석 하는데 목적이 있다. 안전관리 개선 요인 발굴을 위해 전문가 그룹을 구성 후 델파이 조사를 실시하여 요인을 3개의 대분류와 10개의 중 분류로 계층화 하였다. 이후 요인 간 상대적 중요도를 평가하기 위해 점검자 그룹(해사안전감독관, 선박운항관리자)과 수검자 그룹(안전 관리책임자, 연안여객선사 관계자)으로 구분하여 설문조사를 실시하고 계층분석법(AHP)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 점검자 그룹에 서는 대중교통수단 지정 요인이 가장 중요하게 나타났고, 수검자 그룹에서는 선원복지 지원 요인이 높게 나타났다. 계층분석법을 이용한 중요도 분석을 보완하기 위해 t-검정을 이용하여 두 그룹 간 안전관리 개선 요인에 대한 인식의 차이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 상대적 중요 도 평가결과와 대부분 일치하였으나 점검 인력 증원, 점검 인력 자격기준 강화, 운항관리 출장소 추가에 있어서는 인식의 차이가 발생하 였다. 이 연구결과는 향후 연안여객선 안전관리 제고를 위한 정책 등에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

The seismic safety of nuclear power plants has always been emphasized by the effects of accidents. In general, the seismic safety evaluation of nuclear power plants carries out a seismic probabilistic safety assessment. The current probabilistic safety assessment assumes that damage to the structure, system, and components (SSCs) occurs independently to each other or perfect dependently to each other. In case of earthquake events, the failure event occurs with the correlation due to the correlation between the seismic response of the SSCs and the seismic performance of the SSCs. In this study, the EEMS (External Event Mensuration System) code is developed which can perform the seismic probabilistic safety assessment considering correlation. The developed code is verified by comparing with the multiplier n, which is for calculating the joint probability of failure, which is proposed by Mankamo. It is analyzed the changes in seismic fragility curves and seismic risks with correlation. As a result, it was confirmed that the seismic fragility curves and seismic risk change according to the failure correlation coefficient. This means that it is important to select an appropriate failure correlation coefficient in order to perform a seismic probabilistic safety assessment. And also, it was confirmed that carrying out the seismic probabilistic safety assessment in consideration of the seismic correlation provides more realistic results, rather than providing conservative or non-conservative results comparing with that damage to the SSCs occurs independently.

In this paper, we analyzed the safety on static and dynamic characteristics of a top-down evacuation instrument fixed on the exterior walls of a building using finite element analysis. For this purpose, the stress distribution characteristics of the H-beam structure were analyzed and the equivalent stress distribution, deflection displacement and natural frequency characteristics of the overall structure of the evacuation instrument were analyzed. The structures were applied with the materials of SS440 and SUS304. The static analysis results showed the elastic behavior with safety coefficients from 2.4 to 2.9, by confirming the structural safety. In addition, the analysis of the natural frequency characteristics confirmed that the vibration characteristics were higher than the external conditions of 20Hz.
