These days the researches using IT technologies have been done to decrease the traffic accident. Especially, the optimal safety speed considering the weather conditions have to be calculated in real time to protect the traffic accident on the high way in the case of the rain and snow. In this paper, we have simulated the automatic warning broadcasting system for the freezing and foggy regions based on Web to protect the traffic accident. Also, we have developed the simulator that can provide the drivers with the optimal safety speed in real time to protect the traffic accident even under the worst weather conditions using the Fuzzy Reasoning rules.

유역 상류의 지표수는 급경사로 인해 빠른 흐름을 나타냄으로써 유역의 저류기능은 하류부에 비해 부족한 형편이다. 또한 광역상수도의 공급이 불가능한 지역이 많아 소규모 급수시설을 이용하여 물공급에 대처하고 있다. 샌드댐은 이와 같은 물공급 소외지역의 저류기능을 높이기 위해 활용될 수 있으며 주된 특성은 증발에 의한 손실 방지와 겨울철 결빙에 따른 대처가 가능하다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 춘천 물로리 지역을 중심으로 샌드댐의 공급기여도를 평가하기 위해 SWAT-MODLFOW모형을 이용한 수문성분 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 연구 지역의 수문성분 중 상당한 양의 측방 흐름이 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 월평균 지하수 함양 분포는 유역의 제한된 지역에서만 발생했고, 토양 유형과 밀접한 관련이 있었다. 전체 지하수 함양량의 약 85 %는 지역의 여름과 봄철에 발생했고 연평균 함양률은 강수량의 약 6 %내외로 저조하였다. 하천과 대수층은 연결성을 나타냈으며 유역 출구 부근에서 하천유출량이 증가하는 양상을 나타냈다. 대수층과 샌드댐 저류지에서 이용 가능한 물의 양은 수위저하를 야기하지 않으면서 약 30m³/일의 물을 공급할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 현재 이 지역의 물 공급 수요는 15.4m³/일임을 감안하면 샌드댐 설치후 이 지역의 공급은 비교적 안정적일 것으로 기대된다.

Eco-friendly mountain railways operate on concrete rack tracks embedded on existing sharp curved and steep roads to preserve the environment in mountainous areas. Owing to the narrow roads, single lines are inevitable, and many branches are required. In branches, previous switchers and heating devices cannot be applied, because of the limited spacing for the rack and the slow removal of thick ice. To solve these problems, a switch and a heating device have been developed. The switcher changes the line by moving the block of concrete track with hydraulic actuators. The lack of discontinuity reduces the derailment risk and makes locking simple. The heating device uses high frequency induction coils to increase the efficiency and melt the thick ice rapidly. The prototype switcher and heating device were produced and operated to prove their performance. The heating device yielded a 10 times greater efficiency than the previous one. The switcher and heating device are the essential core technologies for the operation of mountain trams in winter and contribute to the spread of mountain railways to domestic or foreign resort areas by enhancing safety and efficiency. In addition, they can provide transportation rights to local residents in poor winter traffic, and bring about tourism and local economic growth.

To investigate the feasibility of a new concept of storing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in a lined hard rock cavern, and to develop essential technologies for constructing underground LNG storage facilities, a small pilot plant storing liquid nitrogen (LN2) has been constructed at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). The LN2 stored in the cavern will subject the host rock around the cavern to very low temperatures, which is expected to cause the development of an ice ring and the change of ground condition around the storage cavern. To investigate and monitor changes in ground conditions at this pilot plant site, geophysical, hydrogeological, and rock mechanical investigations were carried out. In particular, geophysical methods including borehole radar and three-dimensional (3D) resistivity surveys were used to identify and monitor the development of an ice ring, and other possible changes in ground conditions resulting from the very low temperature of LN2 in the storage tank. We acquired 3D resistivity data before and after storing the LN2, and the results were compared. From the 3D images obtained during the three phases of the resistivity monitoring survey, we delineated zones of distinct resistivity changes that are closely related to the storage of LN2. In these results, we observed a decrease in resistivity at the eastern part of the storage cavern. Comparing the hydrogeological data and Joint patterns around the storage cavern, we interpret this change in resistivity to result from changes in the groundwater flow pattern. Freezing of the host rock by the very low temperature of LN2 causes a drastic change in the hydrogeological conditions and groundwater flow patterns in this pilot plant.

Deicer has been generally used for prevention of a road freezing in winter, and the usage amount is increasing every year. However, deicer may induce the decrease of bond strength, surface scaling, and environmental pollution. In this study, the field test was performed to investigate the deterioration of concrete road structures used for 17 years. And, the corrosion resistance characteristics were compared for the existing deicer and eco-friendly deicer. According to the field test results, the penetration depth of limit chloride amount was about 40mm, and the average concentration of chloride was $3.45kg/m^3$ at the surface of structures. On the contrary, the carbonation depth was slight. The penetration depth of eco-friendly deicer was less than the existing deicer, and the corrosion resistance of eco-friendly deicer was higher.

현재 농업용수 이용량은 158억$m^3/yr$로 우리나라 전체 수자원이용량의 48%에 해당되며 하천유지수량을 제외하였을 경우 61%에 해당된다. 농업용수의 이용은 노후화된 농업수리시설과 관리기술 부족 등의 원인으로 이용효율이 낮은 것으로 추정되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 현황을 뒷받침해 줄 측정 및 조사자료가 부족한 실정이다. 농업용수의 물관리 연구는 장기간의 신뢰성 있는 수문자료의 획득이 절대적으로 필요하고 실제 현장에서의 물관리 상황을 조사파악하는 것이 중요한다. 이러한 자료의 축척은 체계적이고 일관되게 수행되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 한국농촌공사에서는 2000년에 경기도 용인에 위치한 이동저수지 유역을 종합시험지구로 선정하여 운영하게 되었다. 이동시험지구는 경기도 용인시, 평택시, 안성시, 사이에 위치한 전형적인 농촌지역이다. 저수지와 양수장 시설이 복합적으로 운영되어 농업용수를 공급하는 지구로 농업용수의 물관리 연구 수행을 위해 적합한 지역이다. 이동시험지구에 강우계, 저수지 수위계, 하천 수위계, 수로 수위계를 설치하여 운영하고 있으며 정기적으로 유지 관리 및 자료수집을 함으로써 신뢰성 있는 농촌지역 수문자료를 축척하고 있다. 이동시험지구의 운영은 농업용수 물관리와 관련된 체계적이고 신뢰성 있는 장기간의 수문자료를 축척하고 축척된 현장 자료의 분석을 통해 물관리 기초자료를 계량화 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 실제 농업용 저수지의 용수공급 운영에 따라 하천에서의 유출특성에 대한 조사를 통하여, 농업용저수지가 하천에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 시험지구 덕성교 하천수위관측지점의 하천유출율은 65 %, 재인교 하천수위관측지점의 경우 하천유출율은 60 %를 나타내었다. 이동유역의 경우 상류에 저수지가 있으며 저수지의 시기별 저수상태와 강우량에 따라 유출에 영향을 받고 있다. 1월에 상류 저수지의 저수상태가 만수를 유지하고 있었으며 예년에 비하여 많은 강우가 발생하여 저수위 조절 차원에서 인위적으로 방류한 양이 많았기 때문으로 추정할 수 있다. 두 지점의 1월 유출이 100 % 이상인 것은 동절기 하천 결빙으로 인한 유량파악이 힘든 것으로 나타났다. 1월의 하천수위는 계측기에 기록된 수위값으로 유량을 산정한 것이다. 3월, 10월, 12월의 유출이 많은 것은 전월말 발생한 강우의 영향으로 크게 나타났다.

Using variable speed limits (VSL) is a key strategy for preventing traffic accidents and alleviating traffic congestion. This study proposes an algorithm to operate VSLs on freeways for traffic safety. The proposed algorithm consists of two components based on accident likelihood estimation and analysis of safe stopping distance under various environmental conditions. A binary logistic regression technique is used for estimating accident likelihood. It is expected that the proposed algorithm would be successfully applied in practice in support of an integrated traffic and environmental condition monitoring system. Technical issues associated with the field implementation are also discussed.

Vehicle washer heater system is more widely adopted to defrost a window or to clear the windshield glass in winter season. The washer heater system should be designed to heat up washer fluid rapidly to the target temperature for only a short time. A numerical analysis has been carried out to analyze the heat transfer characteristics with materials of inside parts in vehicle washer heater system with filler and flow path. ANSYS - FLUENT software is employed for the analysis. The axial symmetry model is three-dimensional and unsteady. It applies to the coupled method which is one of pressure based. Through this result, it was obtained to find the optimal material condition for the filler and flow path in washer system. For material of filler, the air with lower density was heated more rapidly rather than silicon carbide(SiC). For material of flow path, copper with the heat transfer coefficient of approximately four times greater than the nickel gives us higher efficiency. That is the reason why the heating time of methanol was reduced to make uniform temperature in washer heater system.

Water quality and Pollution state of Lake Chungcho were evaluated during three years from 1998 to 2000. We surveyed physicochemical parameters, and TSI (trophic state index) was calculated using TP, Chl. a, and SD (secchi disc transparency) data of growing season average. Water samples were collected bimonthly except freezing season. During the study period, total annual precipitation in 1998, 1999 and 2000 year was 1,797,1,722 and 1,345 mm, respectively. Salinity and conductivity were high($29.3{\pm}5.5\;ppt$, and $45,105{\pm}7,585\;{\mu}S/cm$) then other lagoons in the Eastern Coast of Korea. Chemocline was formed by salinity at $0.5{\sim}1.5\;m$ water depth. As a result of this, DO concentration of hypolimnion was below $3.0\;mgO_2/L$. Especially, when intense chemocline was formed, temperature of hypolimnion was higher than epilimnion. Secchi disc transparency, chlorophyll a, and COD were $1.8{\pm}0.3\;m$, $15.7{\pm}20.7\;mg/m^3$, and $3.1{\pm}0.8\;mgO_2/L$, respectively. Most of TN/TP ratios below 20, but concentration of TN and TP was high. Values of TSI ranged between 59 and 77, indicating a eutrophic condition in this system.
