This study is aimed at enhancing mobility rights for the transportation underprivileged that has been made light of relatively compared to normal people. In order to do this, we've suggested having ITS (Intelligent Traffic System) built and improving satisfaction through the test operation of its main system. The existing sound signal device for the visually handicapped has one problem with managing it. Because, the people in charge of it had to visit each problematic site directly to maintain and fix some problems every time it was out of order. Moreover, it couldn't provide sustainable services about voice guidance and the visually handicapped had to control it by either confirming the location of buttons that were installed on the pillar of traffic light and then pressing one of them or using a remote controller on their own. In order to improve such inconveniences, we have created a new typed sound signal device for the visually handicapped by applying the cutting-edge wireless technology based on ergonomics considering actual road situations. Such technology enables it report the status of signal device and light to them by using its voice guidance system automatically every time they have access to it. Additionally, we've already introduced it to a couple of test areas and then known the fact that they recognized traffic situation more conveniently and safely compared to the existing sound signal device. That is above average in terms of satisfaction. In addition to that, we've provided LTS (Location Tracking System - Location-based service intended for elementary students) by utilizing the existing wireless infrastructure and founded the fact that about 87% of their parents were satisfied with the service based on LTS.

In this scholarly investigation, the focus is placed on the transformative potential of edge computing in enhancing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for the facilitation of autonomous driving. The intrinsic capability of edge computing to process voluminous datasets locally and in a real-time manner is identified as paramount in meeting the exigent requirements of autonomous vehicles, encompassing expedited decision-making processes and the bolstering of safety protocols. This inquiry delves into the synergy between edge computing and extant ITS infrastructures, elucidating the manner in which localized data processing can substantially diminish latency, thereby augmenting the responsiveness of autonomous vehicles. Further, the study scrutinizes the deployment of edge servers, an array of sensors, and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies, positing these elements as constituents of a robust framework designed to support instantaneous traffic management, collision avoidance mechanisms, and the dynamic optimization of vehicular routes. Moreover, this research addresses the principal challenges encountered in the incorporation of edge computing within ITS, including issues related to security, the integration of data, and the scalability of systems. It proffers insights into viable solutions and delineates directions for future scholarly inquiry.

All kinds of disasters are occurring for several reasons in modern cities. So, We need the disaster management system to deal with them at this point that Those disasters are getting larger and more frequent. We organized the database into three categories; the traffic accident database on traffic accidents that is recognized as a typical disaster resulting from vehicles's increasement rapidly in modern urban life, the gas explosion disaster database on gas explosion that causes to fatal damage through broad areas, and the bridge management database that contains bridge resource information and repair record. In this study, we developed the Disaster Management System using the wireless internet GIS that can access the database and identify field information for the accident area in emergency situation as well as can modify and update the database in field directly, so that can cope with the disaster situations effectively.

이태리를 비롯한 대부분의 유럽 국가들에 건설된 많은 기존 도로 및 철도 교량들 중에는 현재의 구조설계기준이나 교통시스템, 유지관리비용 절감 등을 고려한 요구조건과 비교했을 때 구조적 안전성과 기능성을 만족시키지 못하는 경우가 종종 있다. 따라서 어떤 형식의 교량이든 특정 취약성을 평가할 수 있는 신속하고 신뢰성 있는 방법론이 필요하다. 이 논문의 앞부분은 이태리 내 도로 및 철도 구조물에 대해 그런 형태의 방법론의 적용에 대해 기술하였으며, 그 결과를 보면, 한 예로 조적조 아치 교량이 일반적으로 상당히 건전한 구조 시스템으로 나타났으며 RC 교량은 일반적으로 내구성 문제를 드러내며 지진하중에 대해서도 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 강교량은 내구성 문제 외에 피로에 특히 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이 논문에서 고려한 전형적인 보강기법들에 대해 간략히 소개하였다. 뒷부분에서는 네 개의 기존 RC교량을 중심으로 주요 교량보강 사례연구들에 대해 좀 더 자세히 기술하였다. 이 교량들은 2차 세계대전 이후에 가장 일반적으로 채택되던 형식들 중의 한 예로 보강기법의 일반적 성질을 고찰하는데 있어 적합하다. 교량의 성능개선에 대해서는 방법론적 접근에 대해 개략적으로 나타내었으며, 여기에는 구조물의 유형적 특성, 유지관리 현황, 기능적 요구조건 및 보수 보강 시스템과 연계된 환경적인 면을 고려하고 있다.

There are various types of foreign object debris (FOD) in the aviation industry. Tools lost by workers can act as a risk factor throughout aircraft operation, manufacturing, and maintenance fields. Accidents caused by tools lost due to workers' carelessness continue to occur throughout the aviation industry. Aviation-related institutions such as FAA and EASA have established tool control regulations and systems to prevent FOD occurrence. However, in Korea, related regulations and procedures are insufficient. A systematic and effective tool control system is required for reliable manufacturing, airworthiness, operation, and maintenance of aircraft. In this paper, tool control regulations and procedures of domestic and foreign air traffic authorities and aviation industry-related organizations were studied. A wireless communication-based tool control system was proposed based on the NAS 412's tool control regulations certified by the National Standards Association.

The objective of this study is to develop the new vehicle classification algorithm and minimize classification errors. The existing vehicle classification algorithm collects data from loop and piezo sensors according to the specification("Vehicle classification guide for traffic volume survey" 2006) given by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. The new vehicle classification system collects the vehicle length, distance between axles, axle type, wheel-base and tire type to minimize classification error. The main difference of new system is the "Wandering" sensor which is capable of measuring the wheel-base and tire type(single or dual). The wandering sensor obtains the wheel-base and tire type by detecting both left and right tire imprint. Verification tests were completed with the total traffic volume of 762,420 vehicles in a month for the new vehicle classification algorithm. Among them, 47 vehicles(0.006%) were not classified within 12 vehicle types. This results proves very high level of classification accuracy for the new system. Using the new vehicle classification algorithm will improve the accuracy and it can be broadly applicable to the road planning, design, and management. It can also upgrade the level of traffic research for the road and transportation infrastructure.
