Pavement markings delineate driver's sight and attentions at day and night. Retroreflectivities of the pavement markings are known to be affected by some factors such as geometrical characteristics of road sections, marking materials, traffic volumes, weather, and so on. Therefore, pavement markings would have different retroreflectivities place by place. The objective of this paper is to contend that there are rises and falls of retroreflectivity of specific geometrical characteristics of road section based on observed field data. For this purpose, retroreflectivities of yellow continued lines and white skip lines were measured on the freeway sections from Hanam to Nami interchanges. And then, the sections are categorized based on road geometric or facility types. From this study, it may be concluded that there exist considerably lower retroreflectivity trends of pavement markings at sharply curved sections, climbing lane sections, ramp sections, and tunnel sections than averaged retroreflectivity trends on freeway sections. This may leads to the necessity of differential pavement marking managements.

Globally, owing to the rapid expansion of radio stations overseas, the frequency coordination system is managed as a preconditioning system. As a result, it is predicted that many types of radio stations will be established for domestic purposes, such as 5G, low-power IoT devices with long distance, based on licenses and non-license in the future. Many problems such as unnecessary launching of radio resources and spectrum-sharing technology exist, and it is necessary to consider the introduction of the abovementioned system and other plan system. In this paper, we explore the outline of radio station licensing and introduce the contents of the survey on another industry licensing. The plans were studied by discussing problems that may occur in future, through comparative analysis of radio stations and other industry licensing. Moreover, the differences were compared and analyzed using graphs. Finally, we discussed the problems convergence products such as drone may offer in the future.

This paper presents the method for developing an optimum hull form with minimum wave resistance using SQP(sequential quadratic programming) as an optimization technique. The wave resistance is evaluated by a Rankine source panel method with non-linear free surface conditions and the ITTC 1957 friction line is used to predict the frictional resistance coefficient. The geometry of the hull surface is represented and modified using NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface patches. To verity the validity of the developed program the numerical calculations for Wigley hull and Series 60(C${_B}$=0.6) hull had been performed and the results obtained after the numerical calculations had been compared with the original hulls.

Various turning tests were carried out according to the rudder angle, turning direction, and the speed etc. with the ship's maneuverability measuring system on the training ship HANBADA. After that they were compared with each other on the turning circle, maneuvering performance index and the distance of new course, and then found out that they were satisfied with the IMO maneuvering standards. And the turning circles of port were smaller than those of starboard with all the rudder angles and maneuvering indexes such as K and T were relatively bigger than other vessels. Also, the distance cf new course was measured to $125{\sim}300m$ in case of the new course on $30^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$. All of these results will be helpful to escape from collision and to alter course on coastal voyage.

The effect of propeller surface roughness condition on ship performance is very significant even the influence of fouling on propeller performance is not well established compared to biofouling on the hull surface. In present study, predictions of open water efficiency of propeller are made for three different fouling conditions, and its application is given for the 7m full-scale propeller of a medium-size tanker in open water condition. The numerical predictions of propeller efficiency loss due to fouling are based on the results from laboratory-scale drag measurements and boundary layer similarity law analysis presented in Schultz (2007) together with an in-house unsteady lifting surface code which is an appropriate tool to predict the effect of propeller surface roughness on propeller performance. The results of this study indicate that the subject propeller with the small calcareous fouling ($k_s=0.001$) can lead to as high as 15 % loss at the propeller operating condition (J=0.5) and the loss of propeller efficiency due to fouling should be evaluated while the ship is operating.

A simple estimation system of ultimate and residual strength for ship structures is developed on the Open-Window system of SUN4 engineering workstation. System development consists of three stages. Firstly, various ultimate longitudinal strength estimation methods are investigated and some rational estimation methods are adopted based on the parametric comparison of various hulls or box girders. Secondly, these selected and newly formulated methods are linked with elastic & perfectly plastic section modulus calculation procedure. Therefore, the longitudinal hull girder strength can be calculated in the intact and damaged conditions due to the grounding or collision of hull structure. Finally, an exclusive system is developed such that whole procedures are proceeded under the window management system using mouse button and elastic and perfect plastic stress conditions. Also longitudinal members are plotted automatically under three dimensional graphic circumstances. These established program is tested for various actual ships, and some examples are illustrated.

In ship and offshore structures, there exist many local structural systems which may be regarded as a combined structural systems composed of thick plates or double wall panels and attachments reducible to damped spring-mass systems. For vibration analysis of such a combined system an analytical method based on the receptance method is presented in this paper. The free vibrational characteristics and forced vibration responses of the combined system can be calculated by synthesis of receptances of the panel and attachments. To calculate receptances of the panel, it may be regarded as a Mindlin plate for consideration of effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia and the assumed mode-Lagrange's equation method is applied using Timoshenko beam function or polynomials having properties of Timoshenko beam function as trial functions. Through some numerical calculations, accuracy and efficiency of the presented method are shown.

Hull-propeller-rudder interactions are studied by the iterative computational procedures. Hull effects on the propeller are reflected through the effective velocities computed by the vortex ring method which used the measured nominal wake as input data. A potential based panel method has been developed to solve the propeller-rudder interactions using the obtained effective velocities. Steady flow characteristics around the rudder surface can be obtained by computing the induced velocities on the rudder by the propeller and vice versa are computed by the iterative manner until the converged solutions are obtained. Flow characteristics around the propeller and the rudder are measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry(L.D.V.) in large cavitation tunnel at Samsung Heavy industries. The gap flow model is adopted to solve the characteristics of the horn rudder. Numerical results are compared with the experimental values and the computed velocity fields and pressure distributions with rudder angle on the horn rudder surface show good agreement with measured ones in large cavitation tunnel.

To understand the dynamic characteristics of the vessel with hydroelastic response, it is very important to estimate the dynamic modal parameters such as mode shapes, natural frequency, and damping ratio. These dynamic modal parameters of full scale ship are a priori unknowns, hence to be estimated directly based upon the full scale measurement data. In this paper, dynamic modal parameters were extracted by signal processing of acceleration and strain data measured from a large container ship whose loading capacity is 9400TEU. The mode shapes of the vibrating hull were identified using the proper orthogonal decomposition and the vibration response of hull was decomposed into its modal magnitudes. Natural frequencies of specific modes were derived via Fourier transform of these modal magnitude. Also, the free decay signal of the vibrating hull was obtained through the random decrement technique and the damping ratio was estimated with accuracy.

Concerns are emerging in marine industry on the additional fatigue damages induced by hydroelasticity, and large container carriers, among others, are considered to be susceptible to this hydroelastic response due to its large size, deck openings and high speed. This study focuses on the fatigue damage estimation of 9,400TEU container carrier based on the full scale measurement data via long-base strain gage installed on the ship. Some correlation analyses have been also done to check whether there was significant torsional response during the voyage. Direct cycle counting method was used to derive stress histogram and the long-term fatigue damage was estimated based upon that analyzed data. It turned out that the fatigue damage of this particular ship during the measurement period increased by more than 60% due to the hydroelastic response of the hull, and main contribution is considered to come from vertical bending mode.
