Congestion on expressways is increasing in spite of continuous road construction. In enlargement of expressway capacity to lessen congestion, a long period is needed and in the case of traffic congestion, it would be impossible to avoid long periods of traffic congestion. So, it is necessary to cope with traffic congestion through continuous traffic condition monitoring, analysis of the causes of congestion and the development of alternatives before traffic conditions worsen. A congestion index that can express traffic operating conditions measurably is needed to monitor those conditions. Thus, in this research, a new congestion index, the Traffic Condition Index (TCI), is developed. TCI is able to evaluate roads that have different grades (or design speeds) and to judge traffic condition as good, fair and poor (congested). In addition, TCI has merits in that it can strengthen the function of existing Freeway Traffic Management Systems (FTMS) and can be applied to congestion management easily: TCI calculates congestion intensity and severity using data obtained from existing FTMS. In order to validate TCI, it was applied to the Kyungbu Expressway and the Seohaean Expressway. As a result, TCI shows a good performance in the aspect of applicability and ability of presentation of traffic conditions compared with travel speed and Travel Time Index (TTI).

현재 에너지 시장은 신흥 개발 도상국의 화석 에너지 사용량 급등 등의 요인으로 인해 고유가 시대가 지속될 것으로 전망되고 있다. 또한 화석 에너지 사용으로 지구 온난화가 지속되고 있으며, 이에 온실가스 배출을 규제하기 위한 유엔기후변화협약 및 환경변화 문제 해결을 위한 사회적인 합의가 이뤄지고 있다. 그러므로 다양한 신재생 에너지원의 연구 개발 및 사용이 가속화되고 있으며, 그중 기술적으로 가장 근접한 것이 태양광 발전이다. 본 논문은 당사에서 개발하는 50kW 태양광 PCS의 운전 상태를 감시하고, 필요 요소를 제어하며, 취득된 데이터를 eRTU 등의 상위 시스템에 개방된 프로토콜로 통신을 통해 올려주는 태양광 PCS HMI Unit에 대해 논하였다.
