Cost estimation in the early phase enables government to plan public budgeting more efficiently by providing information about construction cost. However, cost estimation in the early phase is difficult to predict because only a little information can be utilized. The cost estimation method now being used by the government is calculated by length of the road multiplied by unit cost per length and shows high error rate because it cannot reflect the unique characteristics of each project. As the project is being proceeded, level of available information also changed. So, reflecting available information of a project is important. This paper divided early phase into two parts : planning phase and early design phase, and developed cost estimation model considering level of available information of each phase. Total 143 cases are utilized to find influencing variables and develop cost estimation model and model validation is done by adopting required accuracy level. This cost estimation model reflecting level of available information can be applied to public budgeting, feasibility test, and comparison between routes.

To predict ground conditions ahead of the tunnel face, seismic refraction survey has been widely used. But due to the development in seismic equipment and techniques, tomography using borehole and others are actively applied in recent years. This study has a purpose to prevent stability problems during excavation and construction of tunnels by predicting unfavorable ground conditions such as fault, fractured zone and rock quality variation zone ahead of the tunnel face using TSP survey equipment. In this study, the validity of predicting ground conditions ahead of tunnel face by TSP survey has been evaluated through the case study in the road construction site.

The high-rise building construction field in the urban area is short of working space because it is surrounded by adjacent buildings and nearby roads. The insufficient space causes problems of interference and conflicts in transporting materials and working at the site. These problems can be resolved partly through the proper selection and layout of temporary facilities. A method proposed in this paper supports a decision-maker to evaluate and select the alternatives of temporary facilities plans by establishing and analyzing processes and influence factors of them. Knowledges considered in planning temporary facilities layout are structurized and a program is implemented for a field manager. Case studies are performed to evaluate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method.

Due to continuous change in traffic and increase in traffic volumes at the intersection, efficient traffic control system is required to manage road situations flexibly in accordance with the change occurring every hour. In this paper, we study the control systems which will help us to determine the interva ls of intersection following the autonomous analysis of complexity of the road. Fuzzy logic control concept was applied to the fuzzy logic controller(FLC) for controlling traffic signal. Furthermore the fuzzy signal systems were compare with the regular signal systems to prove higher performance of the FLC presente d in the paper. By means of simulation, the validity of FLC was proven. About 6% increase in the efficiency of traffic control based on the proposed algorithm in this paper was when we use the simulation.

A soil mailed wall is adapted as road widening measure and is constructed under a miniature abutment built on steel pipe piles. The soil nailed wall called for removal of the existing embankment slope to permanently retain the fill behind the abutment. The soil nailed wall is fully instrumented and is monitored. A 3D finite element analysis is used to study further the behavior of the soil nailed wall. The complete sequence of construction is simulated. The numerical model is calibrated against the instrumented nailed wall. Then a parametric study is conducted. The results provide valuable information related to the effect of the excavation and nailing on the following: axial load and bending moment in the piles, load in the nails, and wall deflections.

In this study, the validity of items of RMR system is evaluated and the applicability of this system to the data measured in Korean sites if discussed. Database was constructed from 139 sites, which are composed of subways, railway tunnels and road tunnels. These sites are located nationwide. Analysis shows that original classification of Bieniawski is valid although it was derived empirically. But it has considerable rating difference (error) in the result of Korean application. Thus new classification systems of KRMRI and KRMR2 are suggested, which are deduced from the Korean database. The former includes adjusted ratings and the latter adopts two more items. These are deduced by artificial neural network because it is difficult to select \`characteristic value'to estimate rock quality.

The current traffic signal control systems are operated depending on the pre-planned control scheme or the selected control scheme according to a period of time. The problem with these types of traffic control systems is that they can not cope with variant traffic flows appropriately. Such a problem can be difficult to solve by using binary logic. Therefore, in this 0paper, we propose a traffic signal control system which can deal wit various traffic flows quickly and effectively. The proposed controller is operated under uncertainty and in a fuzzy environment. It show the congestion of road traffic by using fuzzy logic, and it determines the length of green signal by means of a fuzzy inference engine. It modeled using petri-net to verify its validation.

도시주민들은 경제, 문화생활 및 의식수준이 향상됨에 따라 보다 다양하고 양질의 공공서비스를 요구하게 되었다. 주민들의 이러한 요구는 공공서비스 시설의 입지문제와 직결되는 것으로 도시의 입지결정 시 가장 중요한 고려사항 중의 하나는 공공서비스를 보다 저렴하고 편리하게 시민들이 이용할 수 있게 제공함으로써 이용주민들의 복지를 극대화 시켜야한다는 점이다. 이러한 기본 목적을 충족시키기 위해서는 공공시설의 위치결정이 중요한 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 접근성 이론과 GIS 공간분석 기법을 접목하여 입지분석을 시행하였으며 연도별 최적입지를 산출하고, 각 구청의 연도별 최적 입지점의 지도화를 통해 그들의 이동 추이를 추적하며 각 구청의 연도별 최적값의 변화 추이를 살펴보았다. 또한 비교분석을 통하여 연도별 현구청의 입지 혹은 이전할 입지의 적합성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해서 입지분석을 위한 이론적 검토로서 공공서비스 시설의 입지이론에 대해 살펴보고 구청사의 입지 적정성을 객관적인 기준에 따라 평가할 수 있는 계량적인 입지분석 방법을 검토 정립하였다. 본 연구에서는 이론적인 근거를 실제 공공시설적용을 위하여 금천구를 선정하였고, 구청의 도시현황을 분석하고, 도로망, 인구추정을 통하여 관련자료를 수집하였다. 이를 토대로 정성적, 정량적 분석 및 효율성과 형평성을 고려하여 구청사 위치의 적정성에 대한 결론을 도출하였다.

This paper proposes a propagation prediction model which can calculate a propagation path loss easily at option point in case of the propagation processing by repeat reflection when we analysis a propagation route, it makes the calculation speed which is the defect of a geometrical of image method and a ray-launching method improve and we develop and apply the algorithms which can do an angle of incidence, an angle of reflection with a propagation direct path, a reflection path and a maximum reflection number arithmetic process synchronously. Finally we choose as a sample which is the real road condition where is around SK telecoms chunnam branch office in wolgok-dong, kwangsan-ku, kwangju and simulate proposition model then we demonstrate the relative superiority with comparing the results.

철강석 또는 석탄의 적치장에서는 이들 원석을 퍼내어 용광로로 보내주는 불출기(reclaimer)가 사용되고 있다. 불출기를 자동화하려면 야적파일에 불출용 회전 버킷(bucket)을 자동착지시키는 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 야적 파일 표면위의 버킷 착지점을 추출하는 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 파일의 3차원 형상 검출, 파일의 등고선 추출, 불출기의 역기구학해의 도출 및 착지점 추출 알고리즘으로 이루어진다. 파일의 3차원 형상과 거리를 측정하기 위한 3차원 형상 검출기가 2차원 레이저 검출기에 수평주사(scanning)용 모터를 부착하여 개발하였고, 다 단계의 영상처리를 통해 버킷이 작업할 수 있도록 파일의 작업 등고선을 추출하였다. 불출기가 회전 버킷에 의해 기구학적으로 여유자유도로 이루어 졌음을 보였으며, 역기구학 해를 구하는 방법을 아울러 제시하였다. 그리고 버킷의 착지점을 과부하 방지와 단위 시간당 생산성을 최대화하는 성능기준에 근거하여 구하였다. 또한 개발된 시스템을 제철소 원석 야적장의 불출기에 설치 시험하여 타당성을 입증하였다.
