This study is intended to examine the characteristics of driver in the use of guide sign in urban areas. The good and bad points about guide sign based on landmark point and guide sign based on street name are demonstrated, and driver's preference between them are studied. The questionnaires given to general persons deal with general guide signs and road maps, and are designed to see if they can find out current location on the road map with guide sign. According to the results, drivers prefer guide sign based on street name to guide sign based on landmark. And guide sign based on street name took less time to find current location than with guide sign based on landmark.

The Directional sign system in Korean high speed railway stations has a lot of problems. For an example, It lacks of consistency in the shape or allocation. Also, the signs do not match with the actual directions sometimes. Last but not least, the view is blocked by the other signs such as advertisement or other barriers. We suggested the methods to standardize the sign systems that include visibility, accuracy, consistency, and simplicity. First, we categorized signs into directional signs, locational signs, and infomational signs. Then, we examined the actual high speed railway stations in Korea to learn the real situation. Finally, we suggested the methods to standardize the sign systems considering the factors that are visibility, accuracy, consistency, and simplicity.

A slender guideway is essential in improving aesthetically and reducing its construction cost which accounts for about 70% of overall investment for maglev system. As the slender guideway, however, may increase its deformation, its effect on levitation stability and guidance performance needs to be analyzed. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect on guidance characteristics of maglev due to the lateral deformation of the guideway girder and lateral irregularity of guiderail. For doing this, 3D model considering lateral deformation of girder and irregularity of rail of the guideway is developed. Using the dynamic interaction model integrated with the proposed guideway and maglev vehicle including electromagnetics and its controller, guidance characteristics of maglev are analyzed. It is analyzed that the effect on lateral deformation of girder is relatively small compared to deformation on the lateral irregularities of guiderail.

This study analyzes presentation methods of traffic guide maps to guide drivers easily and correctly to their destinations on complex road networks. The problems of Korea's guidance systems were analyzed and domestic and international road guide maps were compared. This study includes the problems of road number discernment, such as the sizes, colors and marking intervals on the map. The widths and colors of different hierarchical roads were evaluated. The indices, enlarged downtown maps and uncertainty of grade separation on the map were analyzed and the solutions were also provided.

Almost all Drivers who are not familiar with local areas usually rely on road signs equipped along the roadways. The road signs in Korea present the name of the city along the driver’s direction. The consistency of guided name on the road-signs is important for drivers. The discordances among road signs frustrate drivers particularly when the drivers are confused with whether or not they are in the right direction. There are several studies focusing on the continuity of information on the road signs. Most of the researches, however, do not suggest the objective way but diagnose present problem. Applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), we evaluate the impact of information on road signs and select the candidate information considering the score and limited number of information. We also suggest the reasonable spatial influence area of road sign information using geo-spatial analysis. From this study, we expect that the director in charge of selecting information can make decision reasonably without difficulties of choosing information.

액체 램제트 엔진의 V형 유입구에 3개의 안내깃이 있은 경우에 대하여 유동 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석에 앞서 본 연구에서는 ONERA에서 발표한 고체 램제트 연소기에 대한 실험 결과를 유동 해석 결과와 비교하여 해석의 정확성을 검증하였다. 안내깃에 의하여 연소실로 유입되는 공기는 유입구 곡관에서 효율적인 흐름을 유지할 수 있고 분사되는 연료의 분포도 제어될 수 있다. 안내깃의 두께가 큰 경우 자칫 유입되는 공기의 흐름을 방해하는 장애물의 역할을 할 수 있으므로 두께의 변화에 대한 영향도 계산하였으나 선정된 안내깃에 의한 연소실에서의 유동특성 변화는 적은 것으로 나타났다. 입구조건을 균일 유동으로 주고 해석한 결과, 연소실에서의 유동은 안내깃의 유무에 따라 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 그러나 흡입구로 유입되는 공기의 속도 분포는 다양한 비행조건에서 균일하지 않기 때문에 주 유동을 방해하지 않는 안내깃의 설치는 연소실에서의 좀 더 안정된 화염의 생성을 위해 필요하다.

본 연구의 목적은 차량주행안내시스템(CNS)이 최단거리 통행노선을 제공하였을 때 운전자 노선선택 행태를 분석하는데 있다. 본 연구에서 통행목적 및 운전자 특성에 따른 운전자의 노선선택 행태를 도출한 결과, 쇼핑통행과 레저통행시 CNS에서 제공하는 노선을 선택을 하는 경우가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, CNS에서 최단거리 정보를 제공했을 경우는 운전자 특성에 따라 노선선택행태가 차이가 있으며 통행목적별로 노선선택에 영향을 미치는 운전자 특성이 달라지는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 분석을 통하여 통행목적 및 운전자 특성에 따른 운전자의노선선택 행태를 도출해 운전자 특성과 통행특성에 따른 노선선택 행태를 반영한 통행배정모형을 구출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The road sign is one of street furnitures functioning to guide directions for drivers. The road sign should be employed and designed to help drivers find their destinations easily and accurately. It is obvious that the road sign is one of the main components that enhance efficiency and safety of driving environments. The current way of guiding strategy at road signs in Korea is a system for mainly guiding 'points' although a new system guiding 'road names' and 'street numbers' with the introduction of new address system is now being introduced on urban areas. When the regional territory management offices and local governments try to employ current road sign systems, they are supposed to follow the sign regulations which contains standard project processes, selection methods of guiding points, character size and design, and location selection for each road sign. However, the current road sign regulations are very complex to understand and unclear for a person in charge to do tasks described above. Especially, selection process and criteria of guiding points are cumbersome and controversial. Furthermore, non sufficient ways of selecting guiding points considering road functions and geographic characteristics decrease the connectivity of guiding points. This study develops enhanced ways of increasing connectivity of successive guiding points through three case studies. Developed ways will help highway agencies and officials understand how to improve the connectivity of road signs.

BIS(Bus arrival Information System) is a system that informs Passengers waiting at bus stops of the bus arrival time of next buses. However, when operating this system, it is not exactly known what type of bus arrival information should be provided. The purpose of this paper is to develop a model of the optimal bus arrival time to be informed for BIS. Analyzing Efficiency in the Seoul's Urban Bus Industry Using Data Envelopment Analysis. Two basic types of bus arrival information can be considered. One is Bus Locations : Where next buses are located and under what situation they are, such as the next bus departed from the previous stop, The other is Expected Arrival Time. Time to the arrivals of next buses. Characteristics of these two types of bus arrival time information provided for passengers waiting at bus stops for BIS are examined. The waiting time of passengers at bus stops is derived as a function of the bus arrival time to be informed. Some basic principles about the optimal bus arrival time to be informed are found. Finally, a case study assuming several simplifications is performed. One of the key findings is that there exists optimal arrival time to be informed other than the average arrival time. The optimal arrival time to be informed should be closer to the average arrival time for small and very large standard deviations and be earlier for certain amounts of standard deviations.
