Bus splitting technique reduces bus energy by placing modules with frequent communications closely and using necessary bus segments in communications. But, previous bus splitting techniques can not be used in MPSoC platform, because it uses cache coherency protocol and all processors should be able to see the bus transactions. In this paper, we propose a bus splitting technique for MPSoC platform to reduce bus energy. The proposed technique divides a bus into several bus segments, some for private memory and others for shared memory. So, it minimizes the bus energy consumed in private memory accesses without producing cache coherency problem. We also propose a task allocation technique considering cache coherency protocol. It allocates tasks into processors according to the numbers of bus transactions and cache coherence protocol, and reduces the bus energy consumption during shared memory references. The experimental results from simulations say the bus splitting technique reduces maximal 83% of the bus energy consumption by private memory accesses. Also they show the task allocation technique reduces maximal 30% of bus energy consumed in shared memory references. We can expect the bus splitting technique and the task allocation technique can be used in multiprocessor platforms to reduce bus energy without interference with cache coherency protocol.

In general, bus system consumes a very significant portion of power in a chip. Bus splitting can be used to reduce the energy dissipation and to reduce the Propagation delay on the bus by lowering the parasitic load of each bus segment. Data exchange probability distribution between a set of interconnected processing elements affects the average energy dissipation of the splitted bus architectures. In this research, we have developed tree-based bus splitting techniques and design methodologies, as an extension of horizontally aligned bus splitting. We have developed the methodology to select near-optimal bus architectures for low energy dissipation when data exchange probability distribution of a system is given. Experimental results show that the proposed techniques can reduce energy dissipation on the bus by up to 83$\%$.

In this paper we present the Low-Power Bus Driven Floorplan(BDF) in which the bus power consumption is minimized by using a new cost function. The previously reported BDF has used the cost function which minimizes only the chid and the bus area. However, such a cost function may not consider the bus power consumption determined by the topology of a bus in case of the segmented bus design. In this paper, we formulate a new cost function which. reflects the communication frequency and the real distance between blocks in a bus to model the bus power consumption. For the Low-Power BDF with the new cost function, the experimental results show the bus power consumption cost is reduced by 11.43% on the average.

이 논문에서는 우리는 버스에서의 연속된 데이터 전송 시 발생하는 데이터 값의 천이를 줄이는 새로운 버스-인버트 코딩에 적용 된 것과는 달리, 우리의 기법은 다양한 버스 분할을 시도하여, 각 분할에 독립적으로 버스-인버트 코딩을 적용하여 전체의 데이터 값 천이를 최소화하고자 한다. 실제 회로를 통한 실험에서 기존의 버스-인버트 코딩과 비교하여 우리의 제안한 기법은 데이터 값의 천이를 전체적으로 10%-50% 수준으로 줄일 수 있음을 보여 준다.

버스-인버트 코딩 기법은 버스에서의 연속된 데이터 전송시 발생하는 데이터 값의 천이를 줄이는 기법이다. 기존의 방식에서는 전체버스 라인이나 그중의 한 일부분만에 버스-인터트 코딩을 적용했었던 것과는 달리, 우리의 기법은 버스 라인들을 몇 개의 묶음으로 분할하여, 각 묶음에 대해 독립적으로 버스-인버트 코딩을 적용하여 데이터 값의 천이를 최소화 하려고 한다. 실험을 통해서 우리의 기법은 데이터 값의 천이를 전체적으로 10-50% 감소시킬수 있음을 나타났다.

6시 15분, 모 설비건설업체 김과장의 스마트폰 알람이 울렸다. 6시에 맞춰놓은 알람이 15분이나 늦게 울린 것이다. 침대에서 뒤척인 정도를 측정해 가장 얕은 잠을 자고있는 최적의 기상시간에 깨워주는 스마트폰 수면 앱을 켜놓고 잔 김과장. 어젯밤 뒤척이다 늦게 잠드는 바람에 스마트폰이 김과장의 최적수면상태를 체크하여 15분 지연된 뒤 깨워준 것이다. 김과장은 자리에서 일어나자마자 오전 중에 있을 공사현장 미팅을 생각해 냈다. 중요한 미팅이라 늦으면 큰일이다. 15분이나 늦게 일어나는 바람에 아침은 걸러야했다. 김과장은 간단히 씻고 난 후 실시간으로 버스 운행 정보를 알려주는 스마트폰 앱을 클릭한다. 5분 후면 버스가 집 앞 버스정류장에 도착한다. 이 버스를 놓치면 15분을 기다려야 한다. 급히 신발을 신고 버스 정류장으로 내달리는 김과장. "휴!"겨우 버스를 탔다. 이제 지하철을 한 번만 갈아타면 된다. 갈아탄 지하철 안에서 김과장은 이메일을 확인한다. 현장에서 자재를 발주해 달라는 이메일이 도착해 있다. 오후에는 자재 발주를 해야 한다. 그러나 오전의 현장미팅이 지연될 수 있으니 지금 발주하는게 좋겠다. 명함관리용 앱을 활용해 자재업체 담당자를 검색하여 전화를 건다. 좀 이른 시간인지 담당자가 전화를 받지 않는다. 김과장은 즉시 자재업체 담당자에게 물품 출고 요청 이메일을 보낸다. 물론 물품내역은 스마트폰 안에 저장된 파일을 통해서다. 모 설비건설업체 김과장의 아침 출근길 단면을 들여다보았다. 스마트폰을 이용해 출근길 버스 및 지하철 속에서도 이메일을 확인하고 물품 출고를 지시한다. 과거에는 사무실에서만 할 수 있었던 일들이 스마트폰이 보편화 되면서 언제 어디서든 움직이면서 업무처리가 가능하게 됐다. 이처럼 스마트폰이 모바일 인터넷 대중화 시대를 열고 있다. 올해 국내 시장에는 약 400만명이 넘는 스마트폰 사용자가 생겨날 것이며 앞으로 더욱 가속화될 전망이다. 스마트폰은 $\triangle$실시간 $\triangle$정보소통의 확장 $\triangle$공간극복 등의 특성을 바탕으로 개인과 기업, 더불어 사회를 변화시킬 전망이다. 통신 플랫폼 패러다임이 변화되고 있는 것이다. 거대한 물결처럼 밀려오는 이러한 변화에 기민하게 대처하지 못하면 개인이든 기업이든 낙오될 수밖에 없다. 건설산업 분야 역시 인터넷 등 통신망을 통해 사업홍보와 시장개척은 물론 각종 업무의 전산처리 등 그 활용 범위가 급증하고 있다. 이제 건설업계도 스마트폰 패러다임에서 비껴나갈 수는 없다. 본지는 스마트폰이 가져온 환경변화와 그 활용범위에 대해 살펴본다.

The Purpose of this Paper is to develop a multi-period bus scheduling model, in which a decomposition technique is applied. In general a bus scheduling requires a vast amount of calculation. Thus, a bus scheduling is a very complicated problem even with a single depot and is almost unable to obtain the optimal solution theoretically with many depots. In this paper in order to simplify the problem, the whole operating hours of a day are partitioned into several time periods. In one period, the same headways are maintained. For one period, the bus scheduling is simple and the solution applying the FIFO(First-In, First-Out) Principle is the optimal. However, connection between Periods remains as another scheduling Problem with a reduced problem size. This paper suggests how to connect bus schedules of consecutive periods efficiently, minimizing the operating cost. Through case studies for multiple routes with a single depot, this decomposition technique is proved to be effective practically.

It is necessary to improve transfer impedance of express bus terminal users in order to increase the usage of public transportation. This study constructed a model for calculating transfer impedance based on bodily sensational transfer time in express bus terminal and calculated transfer impedance on major express bus terminals in Korea. The study results show that the addition of 100 meter exterior walking distance increases 3 minute travel time, 100 meter interior walking distance increases 5 minute travel time, 100 stairways increase 13 minute travel time, and escalators decreases 3 minute travel time. The calculated transfer impedance based on bodily sensational transfer time in this study can be utilized as objective criteria to compare transfer conditions of different bus terminals and to prioritize them for facility improvement. The calculated transfer impedance also can be used as facility guidelines for designing a new transit center.

Real-time bus arrival information within the Bus Information System (BIS) is an invaluable resource for users that demand accurate and up-to-date bus headway information while waiting at a bus stop. The associated benefits of such a system come in two folds, that is to 1) resolve the psychological uncertainty caused by the lack of real-time bus arrival information and 2) empower the user waiting at bus stops with the ability to reliably coordinate various tasks and errands, such as a quick trip into a convenience store or restroom without fear of missing a bus pick-up. This paper discusses the appropriate methodology with which to measure the economic value of reliable bus arrival information, with particular emphasis on the psychological uncertainty in users associated with the lack of real-time headway information at bus stops. Data regarding bus transit users' willingness to pay for such a service is obtained through questionnaire surveys, and the Contingent Valuation Method is used to analyze and derive the associated economic value. Our findings indicate the monetary value associated with a real-time bus arrival information system is approximately 132.5 won/min at the 0.3 significance level.

As the local bus service diagram after the bus route reform is studied by variable analysis based on traffic card data and income adjustment data, the characteristic of the local bus system is revealed in Busan Metropolitan city. The relationship between traveling length and traveling time is influenced by traveling velocity. In order to keep a headway within 10 minutes, bus service number per minute should be over 0.1013 vehicles. The traveling time of afternoon is generally longer than that of forenoon. Compared with the bus used by a lot people, the deviation of that used by a few people is larger in the all cases of length, headway, time and velocity. According to the analysis of the relationship among card trip number, average income and transfer rate, the relationship between card trip number and average income is expressed as linear function in the general bus and as exponential function in the high-grade & rapid bus. The 1% increase of transfer rate is equal to 6.3 trip/vehicle/day decrease and 4.9 trip/vehicle/day decrease in two bus types respectively. The four effective variables are defined by the discriminant analysis between the profitable routes and the unprofitable; According to discriminant size, bus service number per km, bus via suburb, subway meeting number, bus via university. In order to increase the income when the minibus will be included among public transit transfer system in 2008, it should be necessary to settle the bus network and revitalize the public transit better. In order to decrease the cost, it should be necessary to reorganize the hierarchy between the local bus and the minibus better.
