Piles of a bridge pier are connected with a column through a pile cap(footing). Behavior of the pile foundation can be different according to the connection method between piles and the pile cap. This difference causes a change of the design method. Connection methods between pile heads and the pile cap are divided into two groups ; rigid connections and hinge connections. KHBDC(Korea Highway Bridge Design Code) has specified to use rigid connection method for the highway bridge. In the rigid connection method, maximum bending moment of a pile occurs at the pile head and this helps the pile to prevent the excessive displacement. Rigid methods are also good to improve the seismic performance. However some specifications prescribe that conservative results through investigations for both the fixed-head condition and the free-head condition should be reflected in the design. This statement may induce an over-estimated design for the bridge which have very good quality structures with casing covered drilled shafts and the PC-house contained pile cap. Because the assumption of free-head conditions (hinge connections) are unreal for the elevated pile cap system with multiple piles of the long span sea-crossing bridges. On the other hand, elastic displacement method to evaluate the pile reactions under the pile cap is not suitable for this type of bridges due to impractical assumptions. So, full modeling techniques which analyze the superstructure and the substructure simultaneously should be performed. Loads and stress state of the very large diameter drilled shaft and the pile cap for Incheon Bridge which will the longest bridge in Korea were investigated through the full modeling for rigid connection conditions.

This paper presents a deadlock avoidance method for AGVs in automated container terminals. For a more efficient use of AGV traveling area, we divided the area into small-sized grids not enough to cover a whole AGV. Our deadlock avoidance method controls AGVs by identifying strongly connected components(SCCs) in a graph derived from the paths of AGVs on the grids. Also in this paper we suggest a route selection scheme which selects a route by predicting and comparing travel times of candidate routes by using a regression formula. Simulation experiments have shown that the proposed method can control AGVs for 48 hours without deadlocks and the count of AGV visits per QC is increased by $2\~10$ an hour.

Because the global positioning system (GPS) is not available in underwater environments, an inertial navigation system (INS)/doppler velocity log (DVL) integrated navigation system is generally implemented. In general, an INS/DVL integrated system adopts a loosely coupled method. However, in this loosely coupled method, although the measurement equation for the filter design is simple, the velocity of the body frame cannot be accurately measured if even one of the DVL transducer signals is not received. In contrast, even if only one or two velocities are measured by the DVL transducers, the tightly coupled method can utilize them as measurements and suppress the error increase of the INS. In this paper, a filter was designed to regenerate the measurements of failed transducers by taking advantage of the tightly coupled method. The regenerated measurements were the normal DVL transducer measurements and the estimated velocity in RPM. In order to effectively estimate the velocity in RPM, a filter was designed considering the effects of the tide. The proposed filter does not switch all of the measurements to RPM if the DVL transducer fails, but only switches information from the failed transducer. In this case, the filter has the advantage of being able to be used as a measurement while continuously estimating the RPM error state. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to determine the performance of the proposed filters, and the scope of the analysis was shown by the standard deviation ($1{\sigma}$, 68%). Finally, the performance of the proposed filter was verified by comparison with the conventional tightly coupled method.

This study describes the three-dimensional behavior of pile foundations based on a numerical study. A series of numerical analyses were performed for connectivity conditions between piles and cap under vertical and lateral loadings. It is shown that a fixed connection between pile and cap is able to transfer significant bending moment through the connection and increases the pile lateral stiffness and the bending moment. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the cross sectional shear force in the raft with fixed head condition was larger than that of pinned head condition. Thus, the reinforcement of pile head and thickness of the raft also increases in fixed pile head condition. From the results, it is found that the overall behavior and cross sectional forces of pile foundations is affected significantly by the pile head conditions. Furthermore, the design of pile foundations with pinned head condition was judged to be less costly and very useful for preliminary design stages.

In this paper we study the performance of the measurement time-delay estimation of tightly-coupled GPS/INS(Global positioning system/Inertial Navigation system) system. Generally, the heading error estimation performance of loosely-coupled GPS/INS system using GPS's Navigation Solution is poor. In the case of tightly-coupled GPS/INS system using pseudo-range and pseudo-range rate, the heading error estimation performance is better. However, the time-delay error on the measurement(pseudo-range rate) make the heading error estimation performance degraded. So that, we propose the time-delay model on the measurement and compose the time-delay estimator. And we confirm that the heading error estimation performance in the case of measurement time-delay existence is similar with the case of no-delay by Monte-Carlo simulation.

The system error model for the compensation of the low-cost personal navigation system is derived and the error compensation method using GPS is also proposed. The walking navigation system (WNS) that calculates navigation information through walking detection has small error than INS, but the error also increases with time. In order to improve reliability of the system regardless of time, WNS is integrated with GPS. Since WNS is usually used in urban area, the blockage of CPS signal is frequently occurred. Therefore tightly coupled Kalman filter is used for the integration of WNS and GPS. In this paper, the system model for the design of tightly coupled Kかm filter is designed and measurement is linearized in consideration of moving distance error. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulation that the error is bounded even through the number of visible satellite is less than 4.

차세대의 무선 네트워크 기술은 기존의 망을 통합하고 IP화 하는 방향으로 발전중이며, WWAN과 WLAN의 통합망에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구는 최근 상용화 서비스가 이루어지고 있는 WDMB 기술을 WWAN, WLAN과 강결합(Tight Coupling) 방식으로 통합한 네트워크 환경을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 수직적 핸드오프(Vertical Handoff) 기법은 WLAN 인터페이스를 필요한 상황에만 구동하여 에너지 소모율을 낮춘다. 또한 WDMB 인터페이스를 상시 구동하여 데이터 트래픽이 발생할 때에 곧바로 WDMB 인터페이스를 통해 데이터 전송을 시작하여 전송률을 높인다. 또한 성능 평가를 통하여 단말에 장착된 모든 인터페이스를 구동하는 방식과 비교하여 에너지 소모율이 경감되었으며, 단말에 장착된 한 가지 인터페이스만을 구동하는 방식과의 비교를 통해 데이터 전송률이 크게 향상되었음을 보인다.

마이닝 시스템은 그 특성에 따라 매우 다른 형태의 구현 방법이 존재한다. 그러므로 마이닝 시스템간 호환성이나 재사용성은 매우 낮다. 본 노문에서는 이 문제를 시계열 데이터베이스를 통한 RDB와 강 결합함으로써 표준화에 대한 문제를 해겨라고자 시도하였다.

A graph traversal technique is a certain pattern of visiting nodes of a graph. Many special traversal techniques have been applied to solve graph related problems. For example, the depth first search technique has been used for finding strongly onnected components of a directed graph or biconnected components of a general graph. The distributed protocol to implement his depth first search technique on the distributed network can be divided into a fixed topology problem where there is no topological change and a dynamic topology problem which has some topological changes. Therefore, in this paper, we present a more efficient distributed depth first search protocol with fixed topology and a resilient distributed depth first search protocol where there are topological changes for the distributed network. Also, we analysed the message and time complexity of the presented protocols and showed the improved results than the complexities of the other distributed depth first search protocols.
