The study developed physical distribution channel choice models reflecting decision making of the firms and studied how choice decision factors influence selection of distribution channel. The distribution channel survey data in Korea was used to do empirical study. As a choice set, distribution channels were classified into two main choice channels: direct and indirect channels. In addition, indirect channels were classified into other three channels according to the type of intermediate point: distribution center, wholesale store, and agency. This study developed choice models by applying both binary and multinomial logit model with various set of factors. The results showed that the developed logit models seemingly reflect distribution channel choice behaviors. The hypothesis tests on how each factor influences choice of distribution channel were performed and discussed as well.

It is proper that the load distribution and the actual stress of members is analyzed by field measurement in estimating to the behavior of truss railway bridges, but those procedures are very difficult. So, the studies for the deduction of the stress, using the indirect data which are able to get from the research and investigation without field measurement, are needed. In this study, to investigate quantitically the variation of the stress of members, the stresses are obtained from the simulation which is considered the the reduction of the section area and the stiffness due to the corrosion and the degree of the stress ratio and the distribution is calculated. As the results, the stress of truss members is almost lineary increased to the decreasing of the area and the lower chord is greatly affected. And the increasing of the stress is predicted by the superposition to the results of the amount of that in each members.

This paper analyzed and compared the service level and satisfaction of the sidewalks in collector roads from 6 different location, which has a lot of volume of pedestrians. For the study, it performed an investigation of road geometry, flow, research about satisfaction of walking and video recording. Based on this data, this study computed the service level of the sidewalks and pedestrian satisfaction. This study made a sense of correlation between service level and satisfaction. Also it focused on factors influencing on the effectiveness of satisfaction. This study also analyzed the change of walking behavior chracteristics according to the change of the level of satisfaction. This study adopted Multi-Modal Level of Service(MMLOS) method, because it could consider more factors. This study reached the conclusion that MMLOS method cannot completely reflect the level of pedestrian satisfaction. We have to consider more factors than in the current system for use in the development of sidewalk design. The result of this study is expected to reflect the pedestrian satisfaction in future sidewalks design.

Since 1990s. there has been an increasing number of traffic accidents at intersection. which requires more urgent measures to insure safety on intersection. This study set out to analyze the road conditions, traffic conditions and traffic operation conditions on signalized intersection. to identify the elements that would impose obstructions in safety, and to develop a traffic accident prediction model to evaluate the safety of an intersection using the cop relation between the elements and an accident. In addition, the focus was made on suggesting appropriate traffic safety policies by dealing with the danger elements in advance and on enhancing the safety on the intersection in developing a traffic accident prediction model fir a signalized intersection. The data for the study was collected at an intersection located in Wonju city from January to December 2001. It consisted of the number of accidents, the road conditions, the traffic conditions, and the traffic operation conditions at the intersection. The collected data was first statistically analyzed and then the results identified the elements that had close correlations with accidents. They included the area pattern, the use of land, the bus stopping activities, the parking and stopping activities on the road, the total volume, the turning volume, the number of lanes, the width of the road, the intersection area, the cycle, the sight distance, and the turning radius. These elements were used in the second correlation analysis. The significant level was 95% or higher in all of them. There were few correlations between independent variables. The variables that affected the accident rate were the number of lanes, the turning radius, the sight distance and the cycle, which were used to develop a traffic accident prediction model formula considering their distribution. The model formula was compared with a general linear regression model in accuracy. In addition, the statistics of domestic accidents were investigated to analyze the distribution of the accidents and to classify intersections according to the risk level. Finally, the results were applied to the Spearman-rank correlation coefficient to see if the model was appropriate. As a result, the coefficient of determination was highly significant with the value of 0.985 and the ranks among the intersections according to the risk level were appropriate too. The actual number of accidents and the predicted ones were compared in terms of the risk level and they were about the same in the risk level for 80% of the intersections.

Much time has passed since Korea's expressway congestion-threshold speed was revised in 2011. In the meantime, various expressway environments have changed owing to improved performance of vehicles, expanded operations of transport competition (i.e., the KTX), and increased speed limits along some expressway sections. In addition, the speed that expressway users expect to travel at is also increasing. Therefore, through a survey, this study investigates expressway users' perceptions of congestion, and reviews the adjustment of the expressway speed congestion threshold by analyzing expressway traffic flow. One result of the survey confirms that the threshold speed expressway users consider to be congestion has slightly increased. Analyzing traffic and speed data through a K-means algorithm found that the threshold speed for congestion is 60 km/h. In addition, assuming the congestion threshold speed increase from 40 km/h to 50 km/h and 60 km/h, frequently congested expressway sections are identified, determining that 50 km/h is appropriate as a congestion threshold for proper expressway mobility management.

울산항은 1996년 9월부터 입출항 선박의 항행안전을 위해 VTS 시스템을 설치운영하고 있으나 많은 선박통항량과 위험화물 운송선박의 잦은 운항으로 여러 가지 위험요소가 상존하고 있는 개항장이다. VTS 시스템은 레이더의 자동물표추적장치에 의한 데이터, PORT-MIS의 선박관련 데이터 등 많은 정보들이 분산 처리되어 관제사에게 제공되고 있으나 최근 선박에 설치 운영되고 있는 선박자동식별장치(AIS)에 의해 선박의 정보들이 더욱 신속하고 정확하게 처리되는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 인위적인 과실에 의한 AIS의 오류정보들과 원활하지 못한 데이터통신에 의한 데이터 누락현상에 의해 VTS 시스템 운용에 막대한 영향을 초래하고 있다. 이러한 인위적인 과실에 의한 AIS의 오류 데이터는 PSC 검사관들의 적극적인 개선의지로 정책적인 계도작업을 수행하고 있으므로 점차 개선될 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 AIS의 원활하지 못한 통신망에 의한 데이터 누락 현상에 의한 VTS 시스템에서의 영향을 조사 분석하고 이에 따른 개선 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study was performed to analyze the pollutants contaminated in the soils and leaves of ornamental trees along the Namhae Express way. The results obtained were as follow ; 1. The contents of total sulfur in soils were generally high in site 8 with slope way and site 9 having more traffic volume, as 87 ppm and 74 ppm, respectively, 2. The contents of heavy metals in soils were lower than those of industrial areas and urban roads, and Fe and Pb contents were higher in sites having much traffic volume. 3. The contents of soluble sulfur in leaves were in the range of 0.08%-0.25%. and those of Pinus strobus and Cedrus deodara were the highest as 0.25% and 0.23%, respectively, and that of Euonymus japonica was 0.08%, the lowest. 4. In the case of heavy metals concentration in leaves, the contents of Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn and Cu were in the range of 68-340 ppm, 101-463 ppm, 2.4-4.9ppm, 33-60 ppm and 1.8-5.1 ppm, respectively. Except Fe, there was not a wide difference between sites and species. 5. In the contents of soluble S, Pb and Zn in leaves, the sites between Jinju and Masan having generally much traffic showed more contents than between Jinju and Hadong. Therefore, it is inferred that contents of S, Pb, and Zn are positive related to the traffic volume. 6. Only for Pb, there was significant correlation between the heavy metals in soils and the leaves at 1% level.
