In Seoul and most metropolitan cities, urban trains are delayed due to high congestion during commute times. The delay effect of passengers boarding and disembarking is also significant. In this study, a wide passenger door system was developed as a way to improve the scheduled speed of urban trains by decreasing the passengers' flow time. The door size was defined experimentally to shorten the entrance time. The optimum door size was also determined to improve the stop precision performance of the train while considering the interference effect with peripheral devices. Because the change in door size changes the structural characteristics of the vehicle, the structural stability of a train was analyzed numerically. A prototype of the wide door system was made, and the proposed design was verified using functional and endurance tests. The systematic development process can be used as design data for door size definition and system production when applying a wide door to improve the scheduled speed.

The shortest path search algorithm of navigation is generally based on Dijkstra algorithm and considers only the distance using the weight. Dijkstra algorithm based on the distance mainly ought to perform the 'number of nodes 1' and requires a lot of memory, for it is to start from the starting node and to decide the shortest path for all the nodes. Also, it searches only the same identical path in case of any bottleneck due to an accident nearby, since it is based only on the distance, and hence does not have a system that searches the detour road. In order to solve this problem, this paper considers only the travelling time per road (travelling speed * distance), without applying speed criteria (smoothness, slow speed, stagnation and accident control) or road class (express road, national road and provincial road). This provides an advantage of searching the detour, considering the reality that there are differences in time take for the car to travel on different roads with same distance, due to any accident, stagnation, or repair construction. The suggested algorithm proves that it can help us to reach the destination within the shortest time, making a detour from any congested road (outbreak) on providing an information on traveling time continuously(real-time) even though there is an accident in a particular road.

The maintenance / repair of concrete pavements has become an issue as a result of increasing of concrete pavements' service year. Asphalt overlay is applied to the concrete pavements after partial repairs on all occasions. This thesis discusses the application standard, evenness, skid resistance, noise, economical efficiency, extension of life span, etc. of diamond grinding, a method of maintenance about concrete pavements. Based on this, it was applied to the field and measured the performance. It was measured the longitudinal evenness of before and after the construction through measurement equipment. and surveyed the skid resistance the each lane classified using the SN standard value. In case of noise, it is selected the kind of vehicle, velocity, then measured the noise between control and constructed site. In addition, it is evaluated the average texture depth. As a result of the analysis, longitudinal evenness is improved about $6{\sim}40%$, skid resistance is improved 66% at first section,37% at second section. Noise is reduced 3.4dB average, and average texture depth is 79% deeper than control section. Therefore, it can be concluded that diamond grinding is suitable as maintenance / repair method of concrete pavements.

Variable message sign (VMS), which is used for providing real-time information on traffic conditions and incidents, is one of the important components of intelligent transportation systems. VMS messages need to meet the requirements with the consideration of human factors that messages should be readable and understandable while driving. This study developed a legibility distance model for VMS messages using in-vehicle differential global positioning data (DGPS). Traffic conditions, highway geometric conditions, and VMS message characteristics were investigated for establishing the legibility model based on multiple linear regression analysis. The height of VMS characters, speed, and the number of lanes were identified as dominant factors affecting the variation of legibility distances. It is expected that the proposed model would play a significant role in designing VMS messages for providing more effective real-time traffic information.

This paper suggests an algorithm that can shorten the complexity $O(n^2)$ of Dijkstra algorithm that is applied to the shortest path searching in real-time GPS Navigation System into an up-to-date O(n). Dijkstra algorithm manipulates the distance of the minimum length path by visiting all the nodes from the starting node. Hence, it has one disadvantage of not being able to provide the information on the shortest path every second, in a city that consists of sophisticated roads, since it has to execute number of node minus 1. The suggested algorithm, firstly, runs by means of organizing the set of out-neighbourhood nodes at each level of the tree, and root node for departure node. It also uses a method of manipulating the distance of the minimum path of all out-neighborhoods and interior of the out-neighborhoods. On applying the suggested algorithm to two sophisticated graphs consisted of bi-direction and uni-direction, we have succeeded to obtain the distance of the minimum length path, just as same as Dijkstra algorithm. In addition, it has an effect of shortening the time taken 4 times from number of node minus1 to number of level minus 1. The satisfaction of the drivers can be increased by providing the information on shortest path of detour, every second, when occurs any rush hour or any traffic congestion due to car accident, by applying this suggested algorithm to the real-time GPS system.

Type3 cylinder is a composite pressure vessel fully over-wrapped with carbon/epoxy composite layers over an aluminum liner, which is the most ideal and safe high pressure gas container for CNG vehicles due to the lightweight and the leakage-before-burst characteristics. During service in CNG vehicle, if a fiber cut damage occurs in outer composite layers, it can degrade structural performance, reducing cycling life from the original design life. In this study, finite element modeling and analysis technique for the composite cylinder with fiber-cut crack damage is presented. Because FE analysis of type3 cylinder is path dependant due to plastic deformation of aluminum liner in autofrettage process, method to introduce a crack into FE model affect analysis result. A crack should be introduced after autofrettage in analysis step considering real circumstances where crack occurs during usage in service. For realistic simulation of this situation, FE modeling and analysis technique introducing a crack in the middle of analysis step is presented and the results are compared with usual FE analysis which has initial crack in the model from the beginning of analysis. Proposed analysis technique can be used effectively in the evaluation of influence of damage on composite layers of type3 cylinder and establish inspection criteria of composite cylinder in service.

The congestion of railway vehicle and station shows up to 220%. Especially, transfer resistance of passenger increase rapidly by the collision of circulation. So increment of travel time, occurrence of safety accidents act as a factor that inhibits the utilization of urban railway station. In this paper, to improve traveling speed and comfort of urban rail passengers, urban transit passenger guidance system using congestion management model is proposed. The congestion management model that can mitigate a recurring/non-recurring congestion is constructed and the preliminary design of the system (middleware system, control system, guidance drive system) is carried out. Passenger Guidance System is configured by step for changing the external data into a form usable by the algorithm, step to perform the congestion management algorithm using the real-time data and historical data, step to control device based on the value that is calculated by congestion management algorithm, step to drive the device based on the information in the control system and circulation guidance devices. In the future, detail design will be performed based on the preliminary design. A prototype of the various devices according to the station structures and locations will be made. The control module of guidance device will be developed.

According to the changes in society, the knowledge industrial center, which is a factory related to the manufacturing industry, is now including various programs, such as information and communication knowledge. This study defined the knowledge industrial center related law into three periods: deduct layout planning type and outside space composition elements by previous research; case analysis; and suggestions of the direction of layout planning and outside space plan. As a result of the analysis, first, before 1999, the layout of the building is made mainly with a car, but depending on the form of the site, it is configured as a centered, side layout. Second, in the case of distribution, the support facility on the lower part is integrated and the factory on the higher part is distributed, so it is partly integrated and the building is unified. Third, beginning with the activation of privately owned public space in a semi-industrial district according to architecture regulations in 1999, the outside space is wider but the construction area is reduced, so the outside space composition has been changing in a similar manner to the planning methods of business facilities, such as office buildings.

기후변화는 전 지구적 현상으로 이로 인한 홍수피해는 심화되고 있다. 기후변화 정부간 협의체 5차 보고서(IPCC, 2014)에 의하면 1980년대 이전 세계 평균 홍수피해액은 70억 달러 수준이었으나 2011년에는 240억 달러로 크게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 2013년 필리핀에 태풍 '하이옌' 내습으로 인해 6,200여명이 사망하고, 2천여명이 실종되는 피해가 발생하였다. 국내의 경우 2014년 8월 경남 부산지역에는 시간당 130mm가 넘는 국지성 호우에 따라 차량 4,000여대가 침수, 5명 사망 등 약 125억원의 재산피해가 발생한 바 있다. 국회예산정책처(2012)와 소방방재청(2014)에 따르면, 자연재해 중 집중호우 및 태풍에 의한 호우피해가 85%를 차지하였으며, 전국 하천 피해액의 98.7%가 지방 및 소하천에서 발생하고 있다. 이에 따라 중소하천과 같이 소외된 지역의 물복지 향상을 위해서는 홍수재해 상황에 대하여 선제적 효과적 대응을 위한 과학적 체계적인 홍수통합관리 체계의 구축이 요구되고 있다. 특히 홍수관련 유관기관 자료를 연계한 실시간 상 하류 수문상황 모니터링, 홍수분석 및 하천수위별 대응기준 수립, 배수펌프장 등 수리시설원격 제어 등을 포함하는 홍수 통합관리체계 구축과 같은 비구조적 대책의 수립이 제방정비, 저류조 등 구조적 대책과 병행하여 반드시 추진되어야 한다. 이에 K-water는 ICT기반의 물관리기술력과 경험을 활용하여, 인력 기술력 예산 부족 등 열악한 재난관리 여건으로 어려움을 겪고 있는 지자체와 협업을 통해 홍수통합관리체계 구축을 지원하고 있다. 홍수통합관리체계 구축은 지자체 상 하류의 다양한 재난정보를 수집 통합하고, 수집된 정보를 활용한 홍수분석 및 홍수 대응기준 수립을 통해 예방적 재난대응 체계를 마련하는 것으로, K-water는 지난 2010년 남원시를 시작으로 무주군, 군산시, 진안군 등 21개 지자체의 홍수재해 통합관리체계 구축을 지원하고 있다. 특히 남원시의 경우 본 사업을 통한 시스템 구축후 홍수피해액이 50% 감소한 것으로 확인되는 등 재난관련 골든타임을 확보하고 홍수피해 최소화를 위한 홍수재해 통합관리 체계 구축은 이제 선택이 아닌 필수라 할 수 있다. K-water는 물관리 전문 공기업으로써의 역할을 다하고, 예방 중심의 재난관리 체계 마련을 위해 '지자체 맞춤형 홍수통합관리체계' 구축 지원을 지속적으로 확대해나갈 예정이다.
