The Chinese toxic milk scandal raised tremendous global concerns about food safety in China. To repair the tarnished reputation of domestic food production, Chinese authorities focused on compulsory food safety liability insurance. Unfortunately, the introduction of compulsory food safety liability insurance in the Food Safety Law of the PRC has been delayed by the disagreements of Chinese legal scholars. Chinese legal scholars have examined the legitimacy of compulsory food safety liability insurance in China mainly from the standpoint of domestic laws. The valuable insight of international laws has been ignored by them. This article attempts to fill this research gap by scrutinizing the Chinese endeavor of launching compulsory food safety liability insurance through the joint perspective of public and private international law. It further demonstrates that the ideology of human rights of public international law has already penetrated into the body of broadly-interpreted private international law.

The vehicle weight and alternative light materials development like aluminum alloys are hot issues around the world. In order to obtain the goal of the weight reduction of automobiles, the researches about lighter and stronger suspension links have been studies without sacrificing the safety of automotive components. Therefore, in present study, the structure analysis of the torque strut links made by aluminum alloys (A356) was performed by using CAE (computer aided engineering) to investigate the light weight design process from the reference of the rear suspension torque strut link which was made by STKM11A steel and was already proven in the commercial market. Especially, the simulated maximum von Mises stresses after strength analysis were normalized as fatigue limit and these were converted to the WF (weight factor) of the same type as the fatigue safety factor suggested and named like that in present study. From these, it was suggested that the fatigue properties of the torque strut could be simply predicted only from this static CAE simulation.

현재 국내 자동차 산업의 환경은 국제표준인 ISO 26262의 등장으로 새로운 국면의 단계에 와있다. 자동차 설계의 전 단계에 있어서 차량의 안전성과 신뢰성을 만족 시 키기기 위해 세부 활동과 프로세스 단계별 수행에 따른 산출물을 요구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ISO 26262의 수행활동 중 개념설계 단계에서 요구되는 개발 환경을 모델 기반 시스템공학 기법을 적용함으로써 ISO 26262 대응에 관한 적용 기법안을 도출하 려고 한다. 특히, ISO 26262에서 제시하는 프로세스 중 하나인 개념 단계에서 요구되 는 활동과 산출물을 본 연구를 통해 추구하는 연구 결과를 기반으로 향후 추가 연구 를 수행하면, ISO 26262에 대응하지 못하고 있는 자동차 산업에서의 중소업체들이 자 동차 시스템 개발에서 전면적인 모델기반 시스템공학 방법론 기반으로 ISO 26262에 대한 대응하기 위한 발전과정에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

According to ISO 26262 (the international standard on functional safety for automotive industry), the functional safety should be considered during the whole automotive systems life cycle from the design phase throughout the production phase. In order to satisfy the standard, the automotive and related industry needs to take appropriate actions while carrying out a variety of development activities. This paper presents an approach to coping with the standard. Analyzing the standard indicates that the safety issues of the automotive systems should be handled with a system's view whereas the conventional approach to solving the issues has been practiced with focus on the component's level. The aforementioned system's view implies that the functional safety shall be incorporated in the system design from both the system's life-cycle view and the hierarchical view for the structure. In light of this, the systems engineering framework can be quite appropriate in the functional safety development and thus has been taken in this paper as a problem solving approach. Of various design issues, the analysis and verification of the safety requirements for functional safety is a key study subject of the paper. Note, in particular, that the conventional FMEA (failure mode effects analysis) and FTA (fault tree analysis) methods seem to be partly relying on the insufficient experience and knowledge of the engineers. To improve this, a systematic method is studied here and the result is applied in the design of an ABS braking system as a case study.

산업기술의 비약적인 발전으로 인해 오늘날 우리가 개발하거나 사용하는 시스템은 보다 기술의 고도화 양상을 보이고 있다. 따라서, 기존의 시스템이 지니고 있어 제공하는 단일 특성에서 벗어나 다양한 학제간 결합된 기술로 기존 시스템이 지니고 있는 관념적인 기능에서 벗어나 다기능을 제공하고 있다. 이로 인해, 기존의 개발단계에서는 보다 높은 설계 신뢰성이 요구되고 있다. 특히, 오늘날 우리사회는 시스템의 개발성공이라는 안도에서 벗어나 시스템 운용·유지단계에서도 안전성 측면에서 매우 중요성을 인식하고 대비하고 있다. 따라서, 국내에서는 미흡한 상위 단계에서의 설계활동과 또한, 같은 시스템 수명주기 상에서의 시스템 안전활동을 동시에 고려한 동시공학적인 접근에 관한 연구를 본 연구팀은 지속적으로 수행해왔다. 따라서, 기존의 연구결과인 설계와 안전을 동시에 고려한 통합 설계 프로세스 모델에 대해, 시스템개발에 관련한 모든 이해당사자가 공통된 이해를 바탕으로 시스템설계와 안전 활동에 대해 상호 호완성과 공통된 인식을 갖고 접근할 수 있는 방안을 본 연구를 통해 수행하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 모델기반 시스템공학 기법중 보편적인 언어인 공통 언어를 통해 기존 연구를 통해 제시한 통합설계 프로세스 모델을 구현에 관한 연구 수행을 통한 접근 방안에 관하여 논의하고 있다. 본 연구를 기반으로 향후 추가 연구를 수행한다면, 국내 대형복합시스템의 설계단계에서의 안전성을 동시 고려한 시스템 설계 신뢰성 확보를 위해 도움이 될 것으로 기대 된다.

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.

최근 현대사회는 자동차, 철도 및 항공 등 대형 복합 시스템의 체계 속에서 지내고 있으며, 고장 및 사고로 인한 시스템의 안전 설계에 대한 고려와 안전에 대한 인식이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 기존의 시스템공학 프로세스에서 다루는 시스템 설계에 대한 단계별 안전 활동의 강화의 필요성 역시 강조되고 있다. 그 중에서도 시스템 설계의 최종 활동에 해당하는 검증 단계 활동이 제대로 수행되어야만 초기에 의도한 시스템 설계의 안전도 향상을 바라볼 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 안전 활동을 고려한 시 스템공학 프로세스의 검증 단계의 개선사항 도출과 모델링을 통해 안전중시 시스템인 철도 차량 운전실 시스템을 대상으로 적용 및 조정 구축에 대한 내용을 기술하고 있 다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 향후 품질 향상 및 비용 절감과 데이터의 관리

오늘날 자동차 기술의 비약적인 발전으로, 단순히 이동수단으로만 여겨왔던 자동차 는 과거와는 비교 할 수 없을 정도의 안전성과 편의성을 제공하고 있다. 이러한 편의 와 안전을 제공하는데 있어서의 핵심은 전자제어 장치의 발달로 이뤄진 결과이다. 최 근 개발되는 전자제어 장치는 통합 모듈제어의 형태를 지니고 있어서 설계의 복잡성 을 지니고 있다. 따라서 이러한 특성으로부터 발생되는 문제를 기존에 준수해왔던 IEC 61508으로는 해결하지 못해, ISO 26262가 제정되었다. 따라서, ISO 26262의 국내 도입 에 따른 발생되는 문제들이 예측되고 있다. 이러한 문제에 대한 분석을 통해, 모델 기 반 시스템공학 적용을 통해 해결하고자 노력하였다. ISO 26262의 국내 적용에 따른 가장 유려되는 개발 전체 라이프사이클에 안전성과 신뢰성을 만족하기 위한 개발 프 로세스 도입에 대한 문제와 요구사항 분석 및 개발, 그리고 관리 측면에 대해 시스템 공학 전산지원도구 활용을 통한 모델기반 시스템 공학 접근 방법을 활용한 방안에 관 하여 논의하고 있다. 본 연구 결과를 기반으로 향후 추가 연구를 수행하면, ISO26262 의 국내 자동차산업 도입에 따른 문제에 해결하기 위한 과정에 도움이 될 것으로 기 대된다.

Recently, we have witnessed the definitely negative impacts of large-scale accidents happened in such areas as atomic power plants and high-speed train systems, which result in increased fear for the potential danger. The problems appear to arise due to the deficiency in the design of large-scale complex systems. One of the causes can be attributed to the design process that does not fully reflect the safety requirements in the early stage of the system development because of the substantially increased complexity. In this paper, to enhance the systems safety an integrated process is studied, which considers simultaneously both the system design process and system safety process from the beginning of the system development. In the conceptual system design phase an integrated process model is constructed by analyzing the activities of both the system design and safety processes. As a case study example, an inner city train system is described with the application of the developed process. The computer simulation of the example case is followed by the result discussed. The results obtained in the paper are expected to be the basis for the future study where a detailed process and its associated activities can be developed.

In this paper we discuss the problems related with the existing electrical safety system that is influenced by all the socio-technical factors including the electrical safety law, government organizations, and their practicing rules and regulations. Sometimes intangible practices also affect the safety issues. It is our intention to incorporate all those factors effectively and systematically in improving the electrical safety system. Since, the problem in nature is so complex, an approach based on the systems engineering (SE) method could be a good candidate. Specifically, as a first step of the SE process we performed the requirements analysis of all the factors mentioned above and some recommendations from the experts in the field. In the work environment utilizing a computer-aided SE tool, the requirements are verified and managed efficiently although the data base is complicated in general in tracking the changes. Next, by analyzing the verified requirements, a functional architecture is developed to achieve an improved electrical safety system. We also did the reverse engineering of the existing electrical safety system to explore potential problems there. The result can also help improve the existing one. Overall, a systematic approach to constructing electrical safety system based on SE is proposed for the first time in this paper. Note that the method described here can be adopted in the study of other safety systems.
