Since 2005, when "The Mobility Enhancement for the Mobility Impaired Act" was enacted, special transport systems(SPS) has been introduced by each responsible local entity. For its efficient operations and service enhancements, a clear understanding of travel patterns of SPS users is required. Yet we currently have a very limited understanding about them due to a lack of necessary data. This study represents an attempt to provide a better understanding of SPS user's travel patterns with the data generated by Gyeongsangnam-do SPS Call Center. The data include the number, time and day of calls, origins and destinations of callers, types of callers' impairement etc. The data thus allow one to analyze users' travel patterns, including area-wide O-D patterns. There were a number of interesting findings. For example, wheelchair users are only about 42% and the trips are made mostly on non-peak daytime periods. The results are expected to provide a helpful information not just for Center's SPS operations, but for other local entities that are interested in developing similar call centers as well. By refining the SPS system, periodic patterns of callers could be identified in the future.

This study evaluates potential sources of errors in k-NN(k-nearest neighbor) algorithm such as procedures, variables, and input data. Previous research has been thoroughly reviewed for understanding fundamentals of k-NN algorithm that has been widely used for short-term traffic states prediction. The framework of this algorithm commonly includes historical data smoothing, pattern database, similarity measure, k-value, and prediction horizon. The outcomes of this study suggests that: i) historical data smoothing is recommended to reduce random noise of measured traffic data; ii) the historical database should contain traffic state information on both normal and event conditions; and iii) trial and error method can improve the prediction accuracy by better searching for the optimum input time series and k-value. The study results also demonstrates that predicted error increases with the duration of prediction horizon and rapidly changing traffic states.

해상교통관제 구역은 항만 시설을 사용하기 위한 입·출항 선박, 연안 해역을 이동하는 선박 등이 서로 복잡하게 운항하는 교통 패턴을 가지고 있다. 이를 안전하고 효과적으로 관리하기 위해 해상교통관제센터(VTS)에서는 선박을 실시간 모니터링하며 관제 업무를 수행하고 있지만, 교통 혼잡 상황에서는 업무 로드의 증가로 인해 관제 공백이 발생하기도 한다. 이에 교통 혼잡도 및 혼잡 구역을 예측한다면보다 효율적인 관제가 가능하지만 현재는 관제사의 경험에 전적으로 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 VTS 관점에서의 교통 혼잡을 정의하고, 과거 항적 데이터를 이용하여 항내 선박 교통 혼잡도 및 혼잡 구역을 예측하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한, 실해역 데이터(대산항 VTS)를 적용하여 제안된 기술이 관제지원 도구로서 활용될 수 있는지 검토하였다.

We studied driftwood behaviors including generation and deposition in a tsunami using a numerical simulation. We used an integrated two-dimensional numerical model, which included a driftwood dynamics model. The study area was Sendai, Japan. Observation data collected by Inagaki et al. (2012) were used to verify the simulation results by comparing them with driftwood deposition patterns. A simplified model was developed to consider the threshold of driftwood generation by the drag force of water flows. To consider the volume of driftwood generated, we estimated the total wood number in the study area using Google Earth. Therefore, we simulated more than 13,000 pieces of driftwood that were generated and transported inland from approximately 300,000 trees that were growing in the forest. The final distribution of the driftwood was similar to the observation data. The reproducibility of the generation and deposition patterns of driftwood showed good agreement in terms of longitudinal deposition pattern. In the future, a sensitivity analysis on driftwood parameters, such as the size of the wood, boundary conditions, and grid size, will be implemented to predict the travel patterns of driftwood. Such modeling will be a useful methodology for disaster prediction based on water flow and driftwood.

Quantitative risk levels must be presented by analyzing the causes and consequences of accidents and predicting the occurrence patterns of the accidents. For the analysis of marine accidents related to vessel traffic, research on the traffic such as collision risk analysis and navigational path finding has been mainly conducted. The analysis of the occurrence pattern of marine accidents has been presented according to the traditional statistical analysis. This study intends to present a marine accident prediction model using the statistics on marine accidents related to vessel traffic. Statistical data from 1998 to 2021, which can be accumulated by month and hourly data among the Korean domestic marine accidents, were converted into structured time series data. The predictive model was built using a long short-term memory network, which is a representative artificial intelligence model. As a result of verifying the performance of the proposed model through the validation data, the RMSEs were noted to be 52.5471 and 126.5893 in the initial neural network model, and as a result of the updated model with observed datasets, the RMSEs were improved to 31.3680 and 36.3967, respectively. Based on the proposed model, the occurrence pattern of marine accidents could be predicted by learning the features of various marine accidents. In further research, a quantitative presentation of the risk of marine accidents and the development of region-based hazard maps are required.

The results of current method of traffic sign detection gets hindered by environmental conditions and the traffic sign's condition as well. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method of improving detection performance of damaged traffic signs by utilizing Hopfield Network and Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network. In this proposed method, the characteristics of damaged traffic signs are analyzed and those characteristics are configured as the training pattern to be used by Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network to initially classify the characteristics of the traffic signs. The images with initial characteristics that has been classified are restored by using Hopfield Network. The images restored with Hopfield Network are classified by the Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network onces again to finally classify and detect the damaged traffic signs. 8 traffic signs with varying degrees of damage are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method which resulted with an average of 38.76% improvement on classification performance than the Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network.

Origin-destination data have been collected and utilized for demand analysis and service design in various fields such as public transportation and traffic operation. As the utilization of big data becomes important, there are increasing needs to store raw origin-destination data for big data analysis. However, it is not practical to store and analyze the raw data for a long period of time since the size of the data increases by the power of the number of the collection points. To overcome this storage limitation and long-period pattern analysis, this study proposes a methodology for compression and origin-destination data analysis with the compressed data. The proposed methodology is applied to public transit data of Sejong and Seoul. We first measure the reconstruction error and the data size for each truncated matrix. Then, to determine a range of principal components for removing random data, we measure the level of the regularity based on covariance coefficients of the demand data reconstructed with each range of principal components. Based on the distribution of the covariance coefficients, we found the range of principal components that covers the regular demand. The ranges are determined as 1~60 and 1~80 for Sejong and Seoul respectively.

On-line shopping allows consumers to order goods via internet and receive them at homes or workplaces. Emergence of online shopping industry has brought the changes in the structure of freight industry, in the location selection pattern of industrial clusters and in the consumer's travel pattern. This trend is likely to continue, especially in Korea, as the society sees increases in women's participation in workforce, in population of the elder and in production pattern of manufacturing individually customized goods. Despite on-line shopping's heavy influence on travel demand, no study on this particular topic has been done yet, and thus the effect of on-line shopping on travel demand has not been properly reflected on policy making process. This paper suggests the transportation strategy to cope with this change based on the analysis of the effect of on-line shopping on personal travel demand.

A network design model has been proposed. which represents a transportation facility investment decision problem. The model takes the discrete hi-level programming form in which two types of decision makers, government and travelers, are involved. The model is characterized by its ability to address the total social costs occurring in transportation networks and to estimate the equilibrium link volumes in multi-modal networks. Travel time and volume for each link in the multi-modal network are predicted by a joint modal split/traffic assignment model. An efficient solution algorithm has been developed and an illustrative example has been presented.

본 논문에서는 기존 철도 운영 및 관리시에 철도 주변환경으로 부터 발생하는 소음, 진동, 미세먼지 센서에서 다양한 실시간 스트림 데이터를 감지하고 정형화된된 데이터 패턴을 인식하고 분석할 수 있도록 데이터를 구성 및 저장하고 분석된 데이터를 표현할 수 있도록 시각화 지원을 위한 모니터링 시스템 플랫폼을 구현하였다. 데이터 전송을 위해 시리얼 통신 기법을 주로 적용하였으나, 센서와 디바이스의 증가로 인해 시리얼 통신의 한계가 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존의 아두이노와 서버 간의 직접 통신 방식 대신 라즈베리파이를 도입하여 MQTT Broker(브로커)를 설치하고 통신을 진행하였다. 철도 데이터 모니터링 시스템 플랫폼은 NoSQL 데이터베이스인 MonGoDB와 데이터 시각화할 수 있는 Grafana를 이용하여 구축하였다.
