Previous management for speed in road traffic system was aimed only to the improvement of mobility and safety. However, consideration for the aspect of environment and energy consumption efficiency was valued less than the former ones. Nevertheless, economical damage scope caused by climate change has been increasing and it is estimated that environmental value will be increased because of the change of external circumstances. In addition, policy for reducing carbon emission in transportation system was assessed as insufficient in improving the condition of traffic road since it only focused on the transition of private vehicle into public transportation and development of eco-friendly car. Now it is the time to prepare for the adaptation strategy and precaution for the increased number of private vehicle in Korea. For this, paradigm shift in traffic operation which includes the policy not only about the mobility but also about caring environment would be needed. It is needed to be able to monitor the actual amount of greenhouse gas in real time to reduce the amount of emitted greenhouse gas in the aspect of traffic management. In this research, a methodology which can build on-line greenhouse gas emission monitoring system by using real time traffic data and predicting the circumstance in next 5 minutes was suggested.

In this study, the effect on the economy-energy-environment gap among regions of reducing GHGs is analyzed under various scenarios, using a multiregional dynamic CGE model. Regions in Korea are classified as six metropolitan areas. Scenarios are set in three cases such as self-regulatory measures, carbon tax and emissions trading scheme. The reduction target under each scenario is again classified according to volume basis and intensity basis. In results, self-regulation is shown to deepen the economic divide mostly, followed by a carbon tax, emissions trading scheme in order. This result could be interpreted such that a system based on market incentives gives less effect on the gap among regions. However, market incentives based system is expected to take time to build. Thus in implementing policies to increase short-term effects of the reduction targets, complementary policies are needed to reduce the regional devide.

This study classified cities across South Korea according to their urban characteristics, selecting representative cities for respective types, and drawing a relationship among urban characteristic elements, carbon emissions, and the energy consumption of cities. For the classification of cities, the elements of the urban characteristics were examined through a review of the related literature. Factor analysis was then carried out to select the variables from among these elements. The absolute coefficient value found in the analysis was set as a standard. A classification of cities across the country was performed using these variables, and representative cities were chosen for a comparison of the characteristics of each type. For an analysis of the relationships among the urban characteristics according to the type of city, the greenhouse gases, and the energy consumption of cities, emissions of greenhouse gases, electricity consumption, and oil consumption of the representative cities were compared and analyzed by correlation analysis. The analysis results indicated that the cause of greenhouse gas emissions and electricity consumption varies according to the elements of the characteristics of the representative cities, even when they show similar emissions and consumption.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between observed traffic data and NOx concentrations from not an ideal condition but a real road in real-time. Also we aim to develop an estimation model for NOx emission concentrations due to vehicle exhaust gas, and it can be applied to monitor the degree of air pollution on National Road in real-time. To eliminate outliers which are occurred due to errors of equipments and other variables, we use the robust analysis and develop two models. which are considering and not considering wind impact. The result of this research can be used for understanding present condition of air pollution caused by vehicle exhaust gas and evaluating for environmental effects of transportation policy.

In this study, we implement a system that automatically classifies types of plastics using YOLO (You Only Look Once), a real-time object recognition algorithm. The system consists of Nvidia jetson nano, a small computer for deep learning and computer vision, with model trained to recognize plastic separation emission marks using YOLO. Using a webcam, recycling marks of plastic waste were recognized as PET, HDPE, and PP, and motors were adjusted to be classified according to the type. By implementing this automatic classifier, it is convenient in that it can reduce the labor of separating and discharging plastic separation marks by humans and increase the efficiency of recycling through accurate recycling.

A mobile emission laboratory (MEL) was designed to measure the amount of traffic pollutants, with high temporal and spatial resolution under real conditions. Equipment for the gas-phase measurements of CO, NOx, $CO_2$, and THC and for the measurement of the number, concentration, and size distribution of fine and ultra-fine particles by an FMPS and CPC was placed in a minivan. The exhausts of different types of vehicles can be sampled by an MEL. This paper describes the technical details of the MEL and presents data from the experiment in which a car chases passenger vehicles fuelled by diesel and gasoline. The particle number concentration in the exhaust of the diesel vehicle was higher than that of the gasoline vehicle. However, the diesel vehicle with a DPF emitted fewer particles than the vehicle equipped with a gasoline direct injection engine, with particle diameters over 50 nm.

최근 상수관망 시스템에 ICT 기술을 접목하여 수돗물 공급에 대한 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위한 노력이 증가하고 있다. 특히, 관 내 수질이 일정 기준 미달인 경우 실시간 수질 감지를 통해 이상수질을 자동으로 배출하는 자동드레인 시스템이 수질사고 예방 및 대응 방안으로 주목받고 있다. 현재 자동드레인 시설은 관로 말단에서의 잔류염소 유지를 위한 목적으로 주로 사용되고 있고, 도시지역 내 수질사고에 대비한 설치, 운영사례는 부족한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인천시 Z지역 내 자동드레인의 운영에 따른 상수관망의 수리적 특성을 분석하였다. EPANET 프로그램을 사용하여 배수지에서 수질오염이 발생한 조건을 가정하였고 배수지의 공급량에 따라 2가지 모의조건으로 나누었다. 첫 번째 모의조건은 배수지의 공급량을 일정하게 유지시킨 상태로 자동드레인의 배출량을 증가시키는 것이었고, 두 번째 모의조건은 급수구역의 공급량을 일정하게 유지시킨 상태로 자동드레인의 배출량을 증가시키는 것이었다. 각 조건별로 자동드레인의 배출량을 증가(배수지의 10%~90%)시키면서 관망 전체의 수리적 변화(압력, 에너지)를 비교·분석하였다. 첫 번째 모의조건에서는 자동드레인 배출량이 증가할수록 모든 절점에서 압력이 증가하였고 수두가 낮은 절점일수록 압력 변화가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 인천 Z지역에서는 60% 이상 배출 시 에너지가 거의 증가하지 않고 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 경향을 보였다. 두 번째 모의조건에서는 자동드레인의 배출량이 증가할수록 압력이 모든 절점에서 동일하게 감소하였으며 에너지는 일정하게 증가하였다. 본 연구 결과는 상수관망 내 수질관리 시스템 구축 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며 스마트 물 관리에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This study was carried out to develop the realtime evaluation system of $NH_3$ absorption efficiency with gas sensors which were installed on the inlet and outlet of lab-scale scrubber system. The $NH_3$ absorption amount, calculated by sensor outcomes for 3 hr, 6 hr, and 12 hr of absorption process, was compared with the results analysed by Indo-phenol method for the absorption solution. Even though the difference between two methods was about 20%, the correlation coefficient between the two results was very high, more than 0.99. In addition, we could find very good correlation between pH, absorption amount and reaction time. Also we could find out the breakthrough time in the middle of absorption process. With more diverse experiment in the future, we can make gas sensor system for the realtime evaluation of the odor and/or air pollution treatment efficiency.
