Loop detection systems have been used in real-time signal control system to collect traffic information for estimating queue lengths. The queue length algorithm uses speed as a key variable estimated from occupancy time and average vehicle length. The measurement of average vehicle length is affected from the lengths of feeder cable, but their effects have not yet been evaluated. In this study, the variability of average vehicle length due to the lengths of feeder cable is assessed through a field study, and a practical guidelines is proposed. By applying this result, the operational performance of real-time signal control system could be improved.

Trench sate CB-BRT:TC-BRT의 최대 제어 가능 전류(Maximum Controllable Current)에 영향을 미치는 설계 변수들을 조사하였다. 최대 제어 가능 전류를 결정하는 중요 설계 변수들로 트렌치 깊이, 핑거 게이트 길이, 메인 게이트 길이, 트렌치 밀도를 고려하였다. TC-BRT의 실험적 결과를 기존의 BRT와 CB-BRT의 결과와 비교하였다. 최대 제어 가능 전류는 트렌치 깊이와 트렌치 밀도가 증가하고 메인 게이트 길이가 감소할수록 증가하였으며 핑거 게이트 길이에 대해서는 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 핑거 게이트가 있는 TC-BRT가 없는 것에 비해 최대 제어 가능 전류가 약 15% 높게 나타났다. 트렌치 밀도가 작을 때는 핑거 게이트에 의한 영향이 두드러지고 트렌치 밀도가 높아질수록 트렌치 게이트의 역할이 증가하였다.

We developed a simple method to control the length of carbon nanotube array by using oxygen plasma etching. In this way, we could obtain a carbon nanotube with a uniform length (20, 30, 50, $70\;{\mu}m$), that was parallel to the substrate. Moreover, our growing method of carbon nanotube array gives a uniform diameter ~3.5nm, which is consistent with our previous results. Using the same etching method, we demonstrated the carbon nanotube radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna. The results could be useful for carbon nanotube applications such as flexible and transparent conductive films.

일반적으로 가변구조제어는 외란과 변수 변화에 대해 강인한 특성을 가지지만 제어기 설계자는 이러한 값들에 대한 상한 값과 하한 값을 알아야한다. 그러나 때로는 이러한 상한 값과 하한 값을 얻는다는 것은 쉽지가 않다. 이에 반해 퍼지제어기는 외란과 변수 변화에 대한 제어기 설계에 있어서 효과적인 방법을 제공한다. 따라서 퍼지제어기와 가변구조제어기가 가지는 장점들을 결합하는 연구가 진행되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 선형 슬라이딩 면을 가지는 퍼지제어기를 이용하는 방법 대신 비선형 슬라이딩 면을 가지는 퍼지제어기를 이용한 적응 퍼지 가변구조제어기를 이용하였다. 따라서 시스템의 결과는 선형 슬라이딩 면을 가지는 제어기 설계에서 나타나는 동적 특성과 정적 특성의 대립을 해결할 수 있다. 또한, 가변구조제어의 동적 특성을 결정하는 제어입력을 도입하여 적응 퍼지 가변구조제어기의 안정도를 판명하였다. 제안된 제어 알고리듬의 유용성을 입증하기 위해 비선형성이 큰 가변 길이를 갖는 진자 시스템을 이용하였다.

The mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability and the possibility of combustion control using a loudspeaker to these instabilities were studied. By changing inlet velocity, combustor length and equivalence ratio, the dynamic pressure signals and the flame structures were simultaneously taken. The results showed that as the combustor length increased and the inlet velocity decreased, the instability frequency decreased and the maximum power spectral densities of the dynamic pressures generally decreased. The instability frequency could be affected by an equivalence ratio over the operating conditions. From the data of close-loop control, as the loudspeaker may work out-of-phase with the natural instability, the optimum time-delay controller was confirmed to be able to reduce the vortex shedding from the mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability.

This paper introduces the dynamic control of acceleration lanes at freeway-ramp junctions. The feasibility of operation with flexible length of acceleration lane was tested with most possible traffic conditions. The operational qualify was also evaluated using average speed and total thru-put at both ramp section and freeway section. A CORSIM microscopic simulation model was used to evaluate the operation quality with a variety or volume conditions and three acceleration lanes, each representing different length categories. In addition, tollgate O-D data including travel times were obtained for two sections on the Gyeong-bu Freeway where an effective merging distance has been largely reduced. Its effect was analyzed and compared to the simulation results. Finally, the effects of acceleration lane are discussed and operational improvement at junctions is presented as research findings.

ABR 서비스에서 전송률 제어 방식은 크게 크래딧 방식과 전송률 기반 방식으로 구분되는데, 전송률 기반 방식의 대표적인 스위치 알고리즘인 EPRCA(Enhanced Properties RATE Control Algorithm)를 비롯하여 지금까지 제안된 전송률 기반 폭주제어방법은 대부분 스위치의 평균 큐 길이 Q 에 의한 폭주제어 방식을 사용한다. [2, 6, 8]. 폭주판단방법은 큐 임계치 방식, 부하 임계치 방식, 큐 증가 임계치 방식으로 나눌 수있다. 큐 임게치 만을 사용하는 방법이 가장 일반적이지만, 큐 길이와 큐 임계치의 비교에 따른 지연이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 큐 길이의 증감 상태를 큐 임계치와 동시에 사용하여 폭주제어를 신속히 할 수 있는 스위치 알고리즘을 제안한다.

The cycle length design model of the Korean traffic responsive signal control systems is devised to vary a cycle length as a response to changes in traffic demand in real time by utilizing parameters specified by a system operator and such field information as degrees of saturation of through phases. Since no explicit guideline is provided to a system operator, the system tends to include ambiguity in terms of the system optimization. In addition, the cycle lengths produced by the existing model have yet been verified if they are comparable to the ones minimizing delay. This paper presents the studies conducted (1) to find shortcomings embedded in the existing model by comparing the cycle lengths produced by the model against the ones minimizing delay and (2) to propose a new direction to design a cycle length minimizing delay and excluding such operator oriented parameters. It was found from the study that the cycle lengths from the existing model fail to minimize delay and promote intersection operational conditions to be unsatisfied when traffic volume is low, due to the feature of the changed target operational volume-to-capacity ratio embedded in the model. The 64 different neural network based cycle length design models were developed based on simulation data surrogating field data. The CORSIM optimal cycle lengths minimizing delay were found through the COST software developed for the study. COST searches for the CORSIM optimal cycle length minimizing delay with a heuristic searching method, a hybrid genetic algorithm. Among 64 models, the best one producing cycle lengths close enough to the optimal was selected through statistical tests. It was found from the verification test that the best model designs a cycle length as similar pattern to the ones minimizing delay. The cycle lengths from the proposed model are comparable to the ones from TRANSYT-7F.

In this paper, a queue length calculation algorithm using image detectors has been proposed. The algorithm produces the queue length using a pair of image detectors installed both on upstream and on downstream of a corridor. In addition, a new framework for controlling the traffic signal system based on queue length has been presented. More specifically, the scheme of determining the cycle time and green split using the queue lengths has been proposed. To validate the results, a simulation study was conducted with a network environment. Results showed that the proposed method gave better operational performance than a traditional method. However, additional validation effort is necessary in order to apply the real traffic conditions.
