Uninterrupted facility - since there is a close relationship between traffic volume, speed and density -, when a ramp traffic flow merges into the main line, will change the traffic speed or density, and the corresponding correlational model equation will be changed. Thus, this study, using time and space-series traffic data on areas under the influence of such a merging, identified sections which changed the correlation between speed and density variables, and examined such changes. As a result, the upstream and merging sections showed the "Underwood"-shaped exponent, and the downstream after passing the merging section showed a straight line "Greenshields" model. The downstream section which changed the correlation between speed and density showed a gradual downstream movement phenomenon within 100 m-500 m from the end of the third lane linking with the ramp, as the traffic approached the inner lanes. Also, the upstream section, merging section, and downstream section involving a change showed heterogeneous traffic flows which, in the speed-density model, have a statistically different free flow speed (constant) and a different ratio of free flow speed to jam density (gradient).

This study aims to investigate the settling velocity of aggregates of cohesive sediment (floc) and its relationship with sediment size, density and fractal dimension. A system of commercial camera and macro-lens is used for the experiment. Through the image-analysis technique, the image taken by the camera system is analyzed. For the experiment, kaolinite and a natural sediment sampled at Lake Apopka in Florida have been tested. From this study, it is known that kaolinite and Lake Apopka sediments show different behaviors mainly depending on the organic matter content. Samples of kaolinite with less organic contents show a more definite trend to follow a fractal theory and relatively strong relationships between the settling velocity, density, fractal dimension and floc size compared to the Lake Apopka sediments rich in organics.

This Paper Presents a novel incident detection method for using the speed-density difference between detectors. When a incident is happened the downstream traffic condition is mostly lower speed and higher density and the upstream is higher speed and lower density In respect of such characteristics, we can suggest a method for detecting an incident based on the speed-density information provided from detectors. The incident detection method is tested by using the accident data collected from the Cheonan-Nonsan Highway. The results show that suck an incident detection method can analyze the position of accident by comparing the speed-density difference between detectors. The work described in this paper is only at on early stage, in the sense that there are several areas to be further investigated in application of this method. such as setting a critical value for judging the incident. a level of accident wave, a varying Pattern between the incident locations and detectors, etc.

흔히 진흙으로 대표되는 점착성 유사는 모래와 같은 비점착성 유사와 달리 응집 현상으로 인해 지속적으로 유사 입자의 크기가 변화한다. 응집 현상은 점착성 유사 입자의 응집 과정과 파괴과정으로 구성된다. 응집 현상 중 응집 과정은 유사 입자 간의 충돌로 인해 발생하는 것으로 이해되며, 충돌을 야기하는 메커니즘으로는 브라운 운동(Brownian Motion), 차등침강(Differential Settling), 난류 전단 (Turbulent Flow Shear)이 있다. 파괴 과정은 입자간 충돌로 인해 깨지는 것이 아닌 난류 전단(Turbulent Shear)로 인한 덩어리 분리(Massive Splitting)가 발생하는 것으로 이해한다. 이러한 유체의 특성, 흐름 특성 (난류 거동) 뿐만 아니라 유사 입자의 특성 모두의 영향을 받으며 지속적인 응집 현상을 겪는 점착성 유사 입자들은 하나의 커다란 덩어리인 플럭(Floc)을 형성한다. 형성된 플럭의 구조는 프랙탈 기하학을 따르는 것으로 이해된다. 따라서 플럭의 구조는 자기 유사성을 띠며, 플럭의 밀도는 형성된 플럭 크기의 함수가 된다. 플럭의 크기가 증가할수록 플럭의 프랙탈 차원이 감소하며, 플럭의 밀도는 감소한다. 많은 이전의 연구에서 플럭의 침강 속도를 농도에 따른 함수로 가정하고 경험식을 이용하여 산정하나, 유사 입자의 침강 속도는 크기와 밀도의 함수임을 Stokes Law를 통해 생각해 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 응집 현상의 결과물로 형성된 응집물의 크기와 밀도를 각각 산정하고, Stokes Law를 이용하여 침강 속도와 응집물 크기의 관계에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 보다 심도 있는 연구를 위해서는 응집 현상을 야기하는 메커니즘에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 간소화된 응집 모형으로부터 얻어진 플럭 크기를 이용하여 프랙탈 차원, 플럭의 밀도를 산정한다. 형성된 응집물의 크기와 침강 속도의 관계에 대한 이해를 통해 보다 정확한 플럭의 침강 속도 산정이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Shear wave velocity was used to estimate the geotechnical characteristics (void ratio and shear strength) of ground near an underground rainfall storage facility. An oedometer cell was utilized to measure the shear wave velocity and the displacement of specimens. Shear strengths were obtained by direct shear tests. The relationships along the shear wave velocity, void ratio, and shear strength were verified and used to infer the shear strength profile with the depth. In addition, changes in shear strength due to the construction of the underground rainfall storage system were estimated using the suggested method. The results show that the in-situ shear strength deduced from the shear wave velocity-void ratio-shear strength relationship is in good agreement with that obtained from an in-situ investigation (SPT).

본 연구에서는 홍수터 식생 밀도 변화에 의한 하안침식 관계를 정량적으로 분석하고, 사주의 거동과 사행하천의 발달 관계를 실내실험을 통하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 이를 정량적으로 파악하기 위하여 수치모형을 적용하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 시간이 증가함에 따라, 사주의 이동속도는 감소하였다. 하폭이 증가하면서 수심과 소류력이 감소하고, 사행도가 감소하였기 때문이다. 식생의 밀도가 증감함에 따라, 사주의 이동속도가 감소하였다. 식생의 밀도가 증가함에 따라 하안침 식량은 감소하였다. 식생의 밀도가 상대적으로 낮은 곳에서는 저수로가 일정한 형상을 유지하면서 횡방향과 하류로 이동하였다. 시간이 증가함에 따라 저수로의 사행도가 증가하고 있으나, 식생의 밀도가 상대적으로 높은 하도에서는 저수로 사행도가 거의 변화가 없다. 식생밀도가 낮은 곳에서 무차원 곡률반경이 가장 크고, 하안침식속도가 가장 빠르다. 식생밀도가 가장 높은 곳에서는 무차원 곡률반경이 가장 작고, 하안침식속도가 가장 낮았다. 하도 식생은 저수로를 분할시켜서 새로운 저수로가 형성된다. 식생하천에서 하천의 이동, 분할, 저수로 사행도를 변화시키는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 또한 식생의 영향을 고려하여 자유사행의 발달과정을 수치모의 결과, 사행의 발달과정을 잘 모의하였으며, 식생의 밀도가 높은 곳에서 사주의 이동속도는 빠른 특성을 보여주었다.

Ultrasonic velocities are widely used in the investigation of material properties. In this paper, a micromechanics model and the ultrasonic velocity were used to develop a nondestructive method to determine the density variation due to porosity in structural SiC. The micromechanics model developed can consider the pore shape and orientation. The model also takes into account the interaction between pores so that it can be applied to the material with high porosity content. A contact pulse overlap method was used to measure the ultrasonic velocities of porous SiC samples, and there was a linear correlation between the velocity and density (or porosity). Using the model and the measured velocity, the bulk density can be easily calculated. The calculated density was in good agreement with that obtained by Archimedes' method.

The main purpose of this paper is to develop the practical method to estimate the congestion price in odor to overcome the difficulty of traditional microeconomics approach for demand and cost function concepts. In this paper, we estimate the theoretical congestion toll which reflecting the real traffic conditions such as a speed-density functions using a traffic engineering methods We calculates the optimal congestion toll based on the real traffic conditions assuming that the electronic road pricing (ERP) systems ave installed for the study road. After evaluating the various speed-density relationship methods. we found that the Drake model is best suited for the Gangbyeon Expressway Using the Drake model, the optimal congestion toll will be 94 to 3,255 Won for the traffic speed between 44km/h to 68 km/h based on wage rate method and 107 to 6,381 Won for the marginal substitution method for the Gangbyeon Expressway in city of Seoul, Korea.

This paper considers the influence of floc on the sedimentation rate for the cohesive material. The effects of floc density and size changes were also taking into consideration during the experiment. The settling velocity of a discrete floc was measured in a quiescent water column. Floc diameter and density were investigated using a modified Stokes equation with some constants such as water density, viscosity, material density and the floc fractal dimension $n_f$ obtained from the relationship between the floc diameter and the floc settling. The floc diameter of quartz and alumina increased at increasing initial concentrations. The floc size of quartz with increasing NaCl concentration varied between approximately 0.8 um to $10{\mu}m$. Floc density decreased as floc size increased. The floc settling velocity and the floc diameter have a straight line relationship on a logarithm. The floc fractal dimension nf was 2.65 with increasing of initial concentration and 2.93 with increasing of NaCl. The exponent n to predict the settling velocity was proposed and varied from 1 to 1.93.

This study is to define new road capacity concept, and to develop and propose an estimation method, through the analysis of individual vehicular behaviors in continuum flow. Developments in detection technology enable various and precise traffic data collection. The U.S. HCM (Highway Capacity Manual) method does not require such various and precise traffic data, and outputs only limited results. Alternative capacity concepts, which can be classified into a stochastic model and behavioral or deterministic model, are attempts for modeling some prominent traffic flow features, namely so-called a capacity drop and a traffic hysteresis, using such various and precise traffic data. Yet, no capacity concept up-to-date can describe both features. The analysis of individual vehicular behaviors, including speed-density plot per time lap, traffic flow-speed-density diagram per each sampling interval, time headway distribution, and free flow speed distribution, is performed for overcoming the limits of the previous capacity concepts. A stochastic methods are applied to determine time headway for estimating freeway capacity for traffic control.
