본 연구에서는 기후학적 물수지 방법을 적용하여 우리나라 전역에 대한 습윤 및 건조 상황을 모니터링하는 연구를 수향하였다. 이 기후학적 물수지로부터 생성되는 과잉수분량은 유역에서의 지표면 유출 성분을 반영하여 홍수유출의 유추, 치수 구조물의 설치 및 운영에 관한 지표로 활용할 수 있으며, 부족수분량은 가뭄에 대한 정보를 취득할 수 있음을 알 수있었다. 특히 이러한 두가지 지표를 합성하여 얻어지는 습윤지표는 유역의 습윤상황뿐 만 아니라 건조상황까지도 고려할 수 있으며, 이로부터 2001년 실제 가뭄현상에 대한 분석을 실시한 결과 이 습윤지표가 실제 현상을 잘 반영하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 유역의 습윤 및 건조상황 감시를 위하여 NOAA/AVHRR자료에 근거한 증발산량 산정결과를 토대로 지표면의 건습을 평가하였으며, 이러한 위성자료의 이용이 가뭄이 되풀이 되고 있는 우리나라에서 가뭄의 조기경보를 위해 효과적인 도구로서 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Moisture Index time series derived from NOAA/AVHRR data have showed to be useful for humid and arid states. The humid/arid states of the Geum river basin are classified by means of the moisture index estimated from the climatic water budget model. Validations showed that the moisture index has excellent ability to detect humid/arid conditions and to measure time of its onset, intensity and duration. In this study, a simple method to classify the moisture index is proposed by statistical distribution condition. Also, the moisture index is compared with the regional actual state to detect drought area.

최근 지구온난화와 기후변화에 관련된 각종 징후들이 여러 분야에서 주요 화두로 자주등장하고 있다. 이들은 주로 평균기온의 상승이나 강우패턴의 변동 등과 같은 기상학적 특성변화를 중심으로 다루어지고 있는데 이를 수문학적 관점에서 유추해 본다면 물 순환과정(hydrological cycle)내 성분별 거동양상의 변화로 해석할 수 있을 것이다. 유역의 특성을 파악하고 발생할 수 있는 수자원의 양적 불균형에 따른 문제점을 탐지하여 그에 대비하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 신속한 정보의 제공이 우선되어야 한다. 또한 이러한 정보를 이용하여 유역의 습윤 및 건조 상황을 모니터링하거나 예측하기 위해서는 즉각적이고 연속적인 정보의 수집이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 기 수행된 연구결과를 바탕으로 기후학적 물수지 방법에 의하여 1998년부터 2004년까지의 금강유역에 대한 습윤지표를 산정하였다. 그러나 습윤지표가 유역의 습윤 혹은 건조상태를 반영한다고 하나 습윤지표에 익숙하지 않은 사용자의 경우 직관적으로 이 지표만을 이용하여 유역의 상황을 판단하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 습윤지표를 통계학적 분포특성에 따라 유역의 습윤 및 건조 상황으로 분류하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 당시 지역적 실제 현상과의 연관성 등을 통하여 가뭄을 평가하는 방법을 제안하고 자 한다.

Climatic water balance has been applied to obtain quantity of various hydrologic components. Hydrologic information is estimated by comparison between rainfall and evapotranspiration under complex terrain condition. Water deficit is defined as that subtraction of actual supply from climatic demand. The water deficit will occur, when monthly evapotranspiration exceed monthly rainfall. Contrary water surplus is defined as that surplus water after meeting the demand by plants. The water surplus will be occurred when monthly rainfall exceeds monthly evapotranspiration. Finally, the discrete moisture indices were calculated and mapped for the whole watershed to estimate dryness and wetness status using the climatic water balance approach. The result of this study can properly interpret the real drought and non drought. Based upon the results, it can be concluded that the climatic water balance model is useful to monitor water conditions for the watershed.

The car-following model is one of core models in Advanced Vehicle & Highway Systems (AVHS). The car-following model has been developed in aspects such as human factor and reduction error rates. However, the consideration of safety depending on weather condition has not been completed yet. In this paper, therefore, changes of driving condition for car-following due to different road condition were dealt with, and optimal safety distance corresponding to road condition such as dry, wet and snowy were computed. The GMIT(GM Model with Instantaneous T) model was picked over for simulation of adaptive cruise control applied the suggested optimal safety distance. As the results, the 1.7 times longer safety distance was required for wet road condition than dry road condition, and the 5.6 times longer safety distance was required for snowy road condition.

Data analysis research using deep learning has recently been studied in various field. In this paper, we conduct a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-based meteorological study applying deep learning by estimating the ZWD (Zenith tropospheric Wet Delay) through MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) models. Deep learning models were trained with meteorological data and ZWD which is estimated using zenith tropospheric total delay and dry delay. We apply meteorological data not used for learning to the learned model to estimate ZWD with centimeter-level RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) in both models. It is necessary to analyze the GNSS data from coastal areas together and increase time resolution in order to estimate ZWD in various situations.

This study investigates the methodology to evaluate the quantified performance of pavement markings and traffic guide signs using digital images. This methodology is significant to attempt to quantify their performance without large brightness photometer at the nighttime and bad weather. The retroreflective performance of pavement markings are evaluated through the contrast of gray levels of pavements and markings in collected digital images under the case of rain, dampness, and dryness. In addition, the appraisal of retroreflective performance of traffic guide signs are implemented through the comparison between interior illuminated and the existing retroreflective traffic guide signs using the contrast of luminance extracted from the value of RGB of backgrounds and legends in collected digital images according to geometric design, driving lanes, and the distance between the car and the sign. As a result, the retroreflective performance of pavement markings deteriorates about 3.5 times and 2 times under the case of rain and dampness respectively than dryness. Also, the performance of the existing traffic guide signs is significantly influenced by geometric design, driving lanes, and the distance, otherwise interior illuminated traffic guide signs. This methodology can be utilized to construct objective information of performance of traffic safety facilities to select appropriate position of expensive high reflective pavement markings and interior illuminated traffic guide signs considering diverse weather and geometric design.

The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) plays an important role in determining the soil suction parameters required to predict the seepage or shear behaviors of unsaturated soils. In addition, path dependency of the SWCC affects the mechanical and hydrologic behaviors. In general, there is a disadvantage that it takes a long time to measure both the drying and wetting paths of the SWCC by a stepwise pressurization method. Thus, the continuous pressurization method as an improved testing method for the SWCC was suggested, and the testing time for two paths of the SWCC was significantly shorter than the conventional methods. For the applicability evaluation of this method, the results of the SWCC obtained by the stepwise pressurization method and the evaporation method in this study were compared to the result obtained from this method. As a result, it was found that the difference among three methods was negligible, and the testing time of the continuous pressurization method was greatly decreased. Therefore, it can be said that it is possible to quickly and accurately measure the SWCC under various conditions by the continuous pressurization method.

Installation of deck has been on the rise in Korea recently, but there is little of research on the safety of deck. One of the major factors affecting maneuverability of a pedestrian is frictional force between an outsole of shoe and a surface of the deck. The frictional force is influenced by many factors such as raw material variance of deck, surface convex shape of deck, outsole patterns of shoes, and moist condition of contact surface between deck and shoes. This study focused on evaluating the effect of these factors on the frictional force. Two kinds of deck, which were made of natural wood and wood plastic composite, were used in this study. The surface convex patterns of deck were classified to single nonslip (longitudinal groove processing) and double nonslip (longitudinal and transverse groove processing). Two kinds of shoe outsole patterns, W-shape and rectangle-shape, were used in the tests. Also, the friction tests were carried out at dried surface conditions and water-adsorbed surface condition.

Glass wool is a material that has been used as a heat insulator in various fields including construction industry. Since it is a nonflammable material, it does not generate toxic gases on fire, and thus public agencies recommend using glass wool as a heat insulator instead of other organic materials. However, repeated drying and wetting cycles can deteriorate thermal property of glass wool due to the shrinkage and reduction in pore size. For this reason, it needs to be replaced periodically, and waste materials are generated. This research aims to utilize waste glass wool as additives for increasing mechanical properties of concrete. According to the experimental results, it was found that glass wool has weak pozzolanic activity, and beneficial effect on both compressive and flexural strength. The optimum amount found in this experimental work was 0.5% volumetric addition to the concrete.
