This paper presents a bridge road surface frost prediction and monitoring system. The node sensing hardware comprises microprocessor, temperature sensors, humidity sensors and Zigbee wireless communication. A software interface is implemented the control center to monitor and acquire the temperature and humidity data of bridge road surface. A bridge road surface frost occurs when the bridge deck temperature drops below the dew point and the freezing point. Measurement data was used for prediction of road surface frost occurrences. The actual alert is performed at least 30 minutes in advance the road surface frost. The road surface frost occurrences data are sent to nearby drivers for traffic accidents prevention purposes.

The accumulated ice and snow during the operation of aircraft and railway vehicles can degrade aerodynamic performance or damage the major components of vehicles. Therefore, it is crucial to predict the temporal growth of ice for operational safety. Numerical simulation of ice is widely used owing to the fact that it is economically cheaper and free from similarity problems compared to experimental methods. However, numerical simulation of ice generally divides the analysis into multi-step and assumes the quasi-steady assumption that considers every time step as steady state. Although this method enables efficient analysis, it has a disadvantage in that it cannot track continuous ice evolution. The purpose of this study is to construct a surrogate model that can predict the temporal evolution of ice shape using reduced-order modeling. Reduced-order modeling technique was validated for various ice shape generated under 100 different icing conditions, and the effect of the number of training data and the icing conditions on the prediction error of model was analyzed.

The frozen road is effected as major cause of car accident in winter. Especially, road surface freezing on the highway can lead to fatal accident. The accident by frozen road can effectively reduced by prevent road surface freezing before it frozen as evaluate road surface condition. Therefore, this study installed thermometer in each depth of concrete pavement for evaluate road surface conditions which freezing chronically. The result of this study will be used as preliminary data for predict before freezing.

This study improved the algorithm for the road ice prediction algorithm and analyzed the prediction rate when comparing actual field measurement data and algorithm prediction value. For analysis, road and weather conditions were measured in Geumdong-ri, Sinbuk-myeon, Pocheon-si. First algorithm selected previous research result algorithm. And the 4th algorithm was improved according to the actual freezing conditions and measured values. Finally, five algorithms were developed: freezing by condensation, freezing by precipitation, freezing by snow, continuous freezing, and freezing by wind speed. When forecasting using an algorithm at the Pocheon site, the freezing hit rate was improved to 93.2%. When calculating the combination ratio for the algorithm. the algorithm for freezing due to condensation and the continuation of the frozen state accounted for 95.7%.

In the previous studies, the validation of numerical codes has been conducted based on the qualitative comparison of predicted ice shapes with experiments, which poses a significant limit on the systematic analysis of ice shapes due to the variation of meteorological conditions. In response to this, the numerical code has been quantitatively validated against available experiment for the ice accretion on cylinders and airfoils in the present study. Ice shapes accumulated on the bodies are systematically investigated with respect to various icing parameters. To this end, maximum thickness, heading direction and ice thickness are quantified and expressed in the polar coordinate system for the comparison with other numerical results. By applying the quantitative analysis, similar shapes are intuitively distinguished. The developed numerical code underestimates the ice accretion area and the ice thickness of lower surface. In order to improve the accuracy, further accurate aerodynamic solver is required for the water droplet trajectories.

This study analyzed the scenario for road freezing section by applying the road freezing evaluation algorithm. To apply road freezing algorithm, the influencing factors on road freezing were reviewed. Observation data from four points, Mokgam IC, Jeongneung tunnel, Seongsan bridge, and Yeomchang bridge were used for analysis. All observatories are installed on the expressway, and they are classified for the analysis of road freezing characteristics. When the difference between the road surface temperature and dew-point temperature of the road freezing evaluation algorithm was 3℃ or less, the section where road freezing occurred was checked. In addition, road freezing evaluation was derived through the change of the road surface condition and water film thickness of the freezing section.

This study suggests a method for securing road safety by extracting the expected surface freezing section in planning a route using GIS. When planning a road construction in a mountainous area it is possible to confront surface freezing especially in the wintertime. In addition, it is required assessment data of surface freezing rates in the case of turnkey inspections of newly constructed or expanded roads. Consequently, an analysis method that can quantitatively estimate the surface freezing section and sunshine influence on each section of a road is needed. We can extract the expected surface freezing section which amounted to around 29km of the Donghae highway, with such techniques as three-dimensional modeling, sunshine simulation geographical database construction and spatial analysis using the overlay function of the GIS spatial analysis. This study can be used as a method to assess advance safety which has a direct influence on planning the blueprint that should be approved by a policy maker after efficiently understanding the expected surface freezing section in accordance with hill shade.

본 연구의 목적은 GIS 공간분석을 이용하여 음영에 따른 노면결빙예상구간을 정량적으로 평가하는데 있다 산악지역의 도로는 절토 및 터널구간이 많아서 겨울철에는 결빙구간이 발생될 우려가 있으며, 이는 교통 안전사고를 크게 야기시킬 수 있다. 따라서 도로의 기본설계에서부터 각 구간에서의 일조 환경 및 노면결빙예상구간을 정량적으로 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 동해고속도로 중 약 29km구간에 대하여 3차원 모델링, 일조 시뮬레이션, 지오데이터베이스 구축, GIS 중첩 기능에 의한 공간분석을 통해 노면결빙 예상구간을 추출할 수 있었다. 연구결과, GIS를 이용할 경우 기상조건 별로 도로의 일조영향에 따른 노면결빙 예상구간을 정량적으로 추출할 수 있었으며, 연구대상지역 중 상당한 구간이 결빙의 위험에 노출되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 GIS를 이용한 렌더링 기법이 기존의 음영기복 방법보다 정확하며, 3차원 상에서 그림자의 변화를 시각적으로 판단할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 향후 본 논문이 도로관련 법제도상의 노면결빙구간에 대한 규정을 제정하는데 크게 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며, 도로 설치 구조물의 배치 및 도로포장의 종류 등을 고려한 추가적인 음영구간추출 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

Ice accretions on the surface around a rotorcraft air intake can deteriorate the safety of rotorcraft due to the engine performance degradation. The computational simulation based on modern CFD methods can be considered extremely valuable in analyzing icing effects before exact but very expensive icing wind tunnel or in-flight tests are conducted. In this study the range and amount of ice on the surface of anti-icing equipment are investigated for heat-on and heat-off modes. It is demonstrated through the computational prediction and the icing wind tunnel test that the maximum mass and height of ice of heat-on mode are reduced about 80% in comparison with those of heat-off mode.
