Visibility of lane marking is impaired at night, or in case of rain, and thereby threatens traffic safety. Recently, various studies and technology have been developed to improve lane marking visibility, such as the extension of lane marking life expectancy (up to 1.5 times), improvement of lane marking equipment, improvement of lane marking visibility (32.7%) by applying phosphorescent material mixed paint, and expressway lane design standards alternative (length 6m, gap 12m, width 13cm: 27.8% of painted surface are reduced) adoption with ergonomic analysis. In this study, a set of cost-benefit analyses was performed for the cases where such techniques were applied. Based on the literature review, 26.9% of traffic accidents would be prevented by improving lane marking visibility by 32.7%; accident reduction benefit was calculated as much as 12.5 billion KRW. Meanwhile, total increased cost when introducing phosphorescent material mixed paint and lane design standards alternative is calculated as 30.6 billion KRW. However, economic feasibility could not be secured with 0.41 of cost-benefit ratio when applied to the expressway network as a whole. Additionally, cost-benefit (B/C) analysis was applied to each of the top 20 night accident hot spots and the results of B/C ratios were between 0.67 and 4.20, showing that 11 out of 20 spot sections of expressway can have economic feasibility. This results indicate, with this kind of pavement marking applied to accident hot spots in rural expressway, better visibility and economic feasibility can be guaranteed through traffic accident reduction. Some limitations and future research agenda have also been discussed.

Heating supply system using solar energy-collecting plate was examined for 20 farmers. Some problems, resolution, future energy system, and basic information were discussed, Installation cost was approximately 18 million won/20a. Main crops cultured were tomato(30%) and floricultural crop(40%). Minor crops cultured were grape, red pepper, cucumber, lettuce, and strawberry. Information was mostly obtained from agricultural service agents. 75% of farm house hold reported that energy reduction effect was below 20%, showing some different result compared with over 20% that was totalized from agricultural service agents. Cost of installation was excessive in considering energy reduction effect. Another problem was insufficient technical proficiency of solar energy company.

The objective of this study is to predict the expansion possibility of treatment capacity in public livestock manure treatment plant (PLMTP) integrated individual farmhouses. According to the treatment efficiency and cost reducing effect, expansion possibility was examined using three cases; (i) decrease of influent concentration from 20,000 mg/L BOD to 1,000 mg/L BOD, (ii) maintenance of low concentration influent with minimum revising existing facilities (BIOSUF) and (iii) maintenance of low concentration influent without revising existing facilities (liquid corrosion method, LCM). In BIOSUF, the treatment capacity increased from 130 ton/day to 300 ton/day. Also, LCM resulted in expansion of treatment capacity from 210 ton/day to 250 ton/day while that of designed concentration influent decreased from 210 ton/day to 190 ton/day. The treatment costs were 14,674 won/ton and 9,929 won/ton for BIOSUF and LCM, respectively. After some revisions, it will be changed to 7,221 won/ton and 8,277 won/ton. Therefore, it must be considered that the livestock manure treats to low concentration and flows into PLMTP for the efficient operation and reducing treatment cost.

Hub network design for freight transportation is a decision process that determines hub locations together with freight transportation routes among shippers so as to ultimately minimize total logistics cost. This study presents the optimal location of hubs by strict hub network design policy with single allocation, which overcomes the limitation of Kim et al. (2008) that does not allow direct transportation among shippers. The greedy-interchange algorithm is employed for hub location decision process, and EMME/2 is adopted for the route searching process. Application of the processes to the nationwide highway network shows that the best hub locations in order are Seoul metropolitan, GyeongNam, Chung-nam, Jeon-Nam, Gyeong-Buk, Chung-Buk, and the locations are concentrated on the Seoul-Busan corridor. The strict hubnetwork design policy with single allocation increases the transportation distance but decreases the transportation cost by passing through the hubs instead of direct transportation. The reduction in total transportation cost can be achieved as the number of hubs increases, but the amount of the reduction gradually decreases because the cost reduction from the decrease in detour transportation distance between non-hubs and hubs becomes less than the discount reduction from dispersion of inter-hubs transportation volumes.

It is well recognized that component-based development (CBD) is an effective approach to manage the complexity of modem software development. To achieve the benefits of low-cost development and higher productivity, effective techniques to maximize component reusability should be developed. Component is a set of related concepts and objects, and provides a particular coarse-grained business service. Often, these components include various message flows among the objects in the component, called 'business workflow`. Blackbox components that include but hide business workflow provide higher reusability and productivity. A key difficulty of using blackbox components with business workflow is to let the workflow be customized by each enterprise. In this paper, we provide techniques to model the variability of family members and to customize the business workflow of components. Our approach is to provide formal specification on the component variability, and to define techniques to customize them by means of the formalism.

전력산업에 당초 도입 예정되었던 도매경쟁시장을 운영지원하기 위하여 전력거래소는 지난 2002년 도매경쟁 전력시장 운영시스템(Two Way Bidding Pool Market Operation System; TWBP MOS, 이하 전력시장운영시스템)을 구축하였다. 그러나 이후 배전분할 잠정 중단정책에 따라 구축 완료된 시스템은 실 업무에 적용해보지도 못한 채 폐기될 수도 있는 상황이 발생하였다. 하지만 전력거래소는 배전분할 잠정 중단에 따른 발전 경쟁시장(CBP; Cost-Based Pool) 장기화에 대비, 운영상의 효율성을 개선하고 기 개발된 전력시장운영시스템을 활용하여 급전체계를 개선하는데 성공하였다. 실시간 급전 운영을 위해 기존 EMS에 전력시장운영시스템을 연계하여 전력시장운영시스템의 5분 단위 수요 예측량을 기반으로 송전망 제약과 예비력 요구량 등을 고려한 발전기별 경제부하 배분량 및 예비력 배분량을 결정하고, 추가적으로 EMS에서 수요예측 오차 및 주파수 보정량을 실시간으로 계산하여 발전기별로 배분하도록 함으로써, 1일 전 시행하던 급전계획을 취득 자료를 기반으로 5분 단위로 실시간 계산할 수 있도록 급전 개선하였다. 이를 통해 실시간으로 에너지와 예비력을 동시에 최적화함으로써 전력시장 및 전력계통 운영을 한층 선진화 할 수 있는 계기를 마련하였으며 또한 저비용 발전기 사용을 극대화함으로 발전비용의 절감에도 기여하는 효과를 가져왔다. 이러한 긍정적인 효과에도 불구하고, 전력시장윤영 시스템은 구축된 모든 설비 및 프로그램을 당초 목적에 맞게 활용하지 못한다는 이유 등으로 시스템의 최적화 및 성능 개선에 대한 투자가 망설여지는 현실이다. 특히 온라인 실시간 시스템과 별도로 전력시장운영을 모의 할 수 있는 시뮬레이터가 구축되지 않아 시장의 흐름을 사전 예측하거나 시스템 오류 등을 재현하여 재발 대책 등을 마련하기가 매우 어려운 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 그동안 쌓아온 전력거래소의 전력시장운영시스템 운영관리에 대한 다양한 경험을 바탕으로 구축비용을 획기적으로 절감할 수 있는 전력시장운영시스템 시뮬레이터의 구축방안을 제시하고자 한다.

ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) has become a major guideline for many companies to improve corporate value and enable sustainable management. Among them, the environment requires a technological approach. This is because technological solutions are needed to reduce or prevent environmental pollution and save energy. Semiconductor package technology has been developed to better satisfy the essential roles of semiconductor packaging: chip protection, electrical/mechanical connection, and heat dissipation. Accordingly, technologies have been developed to improve heat dissipation effect, improve electrical/mechanical properties, improve chip protection reliability, stacking and miniaturization, and reduce costs. Among them, heat dissipation technology increases thermal efficiency and reduces energy consumption for cooling. Also, technology to improve electrical characteristics has had an impact on the environment by reducing energy consumption. Technologies that recycling or reducing material consumption reduce environmental pollution. And technologies that replace environmentally harmful substances contribute to environmental improvement, in particular. In this paper, I summarize trends in semiconductor package technologies to prevent pollution and improve environment.

본 연구의 목적은 도시고온화와 도시열섬 현황을 파악하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 하는 도시 지역의 알베도와 지표면의 토지이용 자료를 이용하여 한반도 행정구역의 알베도 분포를 비교 평가하고자 하는 것이다. 도시 지역의 알베도와 토지이용을 현장조사 할 경우 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되기 때문에, 시간적 경제적인 비용절감효과를 위해 전 지구적으로 변화를 감지할 수 있도록 NASA에서 제공하는 MODIS 위성영상 자료를 사용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과 서울, 부산, 대구 등 주요 도시를 중심으로 대체적인 알에도 값이 낮게 나타났다. 이는 도시 지역의 인공 환경의 영향으로 인하여 주요 도시 지역이 주변 지역보다 알베도 수치가 낮게 나타났음을 알 수 있고 이러한 알베도 수치는 도시 열환경에 직접적인 영향을 주고 있으며 따라서 도시고온화와 도시열섬 현상을 감소시키기 위하여 도시 내 빌딩 및 도로의 재질개선, 지붕 및 도로 포장, 건물의 외벽을 밝은 색으로 교체 등의 방법으로 지표면 알베도를 높이기 위한 방안 마련이 시급 할 것이다.
