Although many studies have been carried out on the pattern of behavior of drivers which result from the provision of traffic information, there have been few detailed studies on the composition of message, method for message expression, timing of provision, point of provision, media for provision, changes by traffic condition, etc. This study was intended to provide an insight into the changes in the characteristics related to the provision of information by analyzing how the patterns of information utilization change depending on the traffic condition and reclassifying such patterns according to the characteristics of media. Unlike the existing studies, this study adopted the traffic condition, using rate of information media, and the correlation coefficient label as the basis for information media classification, and categorized them into passive utilization media, active utilization media, and past experience in order to ensure the statistical reasonability. The categorized using rate of information media and traffic condition was found to have a positive(+) correlation with the travel speed in the case of passive utilization media during both consecutive holidays(Korea's traditional Thanksgiving day) and weekends, but had a negative(-) correlation with the positive utilization media and past experience. The rate of decision to take a detour based on the past experience was high at the condition of congestion or slow during both consecutive holidays and weekends, but the rate of decision to take a detour through passive utilization media was high in a smooth traffic. In other words, if the traffic condition worsens, using rate of passive utilization media would be low while the diversion rate would be high which uses the active utilization media and past experience. Therefore, it should be established to suit the traffic condition and media characteristics for strategies of traffic distribution through drivers' diversion behavior on weekends and consecutive holidays.

홍수 시 하천을 따라 유하되는 유송잡물(잡목, 생활쓰레기 등)은 구조물에 집적이 이루어지며 이로 인해 물의 흐름을 방해하고 구조물 주변의 지반을 약화시키거나 월류로 인해 심각한 피해를 야기 시킨다. 교량의 경우 유송잡물의 집적은 교각의 항력을 증가시켜 전도파괴를 유발시킬 수 있으며, 교각주변 흐름교란을 통한 하상세굴로 인해 기초부를 파괴시키기도 한다. 또한 통수단면적 증가로 인해 높아진 수위는 제방을 월류시켜 재산 및 인명피해를 유발하기도 한다. 암거의 경우 유송잡물을 포함한 토사로 인해 단면폐색 및 침식으로 암거의 파괴를 발생시키고 이로인해 도로의 단절을 가져오기도 한다. 이러한 유송잡물에 대한 차단대책은 현재 까지 유지관리를 통한 방법만이 최선책으로 제시되고 있다. 본 연구는 국외에서 소개되고 있는 유송잡물 피해저감시설을 대상으로 축소모형실험을 통해 효과를 확인하고 이를 통해 저감시설의 효율에 대해 소개하고자 하는 것이 주목적이다. 유송잡물 저감시설은 교량의 경우 수직분리대 방법, 우회말뚝 방법, 스위퍼를 이용한 방법으로 소개하고 있으며 이들 방법의 특징은 유송잡물 우회를 통해 집적을 저감하는 방식이다. 암거의 경우 수직분리대 방법, 스크린 방법, 우회스크린을 이용하는 방법 등이 있으며 수직분리대는 교량과 마찬가지로 우회방식을 기본방식으로 스크린 방식은 유송잡물의 차단을 원칙으로 하고 있다. 실험의 결과는 교량과 암거의 차단시설 유무에 따른 유송잡물의 집적률을 대상으로 하였다. 차단시설이 없는 경우 교량에서의 집적률은 97.9% ~ 99.2%의 집적률로 나타났다. 수직분리대의 경우 유송잡물 집적률은 49.3%, 우회말뚝은 0.0% ~ 4.2%의 범위로 매우 높은 차단효과를 보이고 있었다. 스위퍼방식의 경우 집적률은 5.3% ~ 20.9%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 판단하였을 때 차단시설 설치로 인한 교량에 대한 직접적인 차단효과는 수직분리대 < 스위퍼 < 우회말뚝 순으로 높은 차단효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 우회말뚝에서의 집적률이 한계치를 넘어선다면 유송잡물로 인해 흐름교란, 수위 및 하상변동, 말뚝의 유실 등으로 인한 피해가 예상된다. 암거대상 유송잡물 차단시설 실험결과는 수직분리대의 경우 type과 투하방법에 따라 차이가 있지만 집적률은 14.7% ~ 64.9%의 범위로 나타났다. 스크린과 우회스크린 방식은 유송잡물의 우회가 아닌 차단이 목적이므로 유송잡물 집적에 의한 수위상승이 우려되는바 수위영향을 검토하였다. 검토결과 스크린 설치로 인한 수위상승이 우회스크린보다 높게 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 스크린의 형태적인 측면에서 2면을 통해 집적되는 특성을 갖는 우회스크린이 통수단면적을 많이 확보하기 때문이다. 따라서 국부적인 수위상승으로 인한 피해를 저감하기 위해서는 설치여건이 허용된다면 통수단면적 확보가 유리한 우회스크린 설치가 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

홍수 시 하천을 따라 유하되는 유송잡물은 구조물에 집적을 통해 유수의 흐름을 방해하고 구조물 주변의 지반을 약화시키거나 월류로 인한 심각한 피해를 야기 시킨다. 교량의 경우 유송잡물의 집적은 교각의 항력을 증가시켜 전도파괴를 유발시킬 수 있으며, 교각주변 흐름교란을 통한 하상 세굴로 인해 기초부를 파괴시키기도 한다. 또한 통수단면적 증가로 인해 높아진 수위는 제방월류로 인해 재산 및 인명피해를 유발하기도 한다. 본 연구는 이러한 유송잡물의 집적을 억제시키는 저감시설물을 대상으로 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 유송잡물 저감시설 중 우회말뚝을 대상으로 수리모형실험을 수행하고 실규모 실험을 통해 저감효과를 검토하였다. 우회말뚝은 교각 전면부에 상류방향으로 이격되어 설치되는 말뚝형태의 구조물로 유송잡물의 우회를 통해 교각에 집적을 저감하는 목적으로 설치된다. 본 연구에서는 수리실험 및 실규모실험을 통해 우회말뚝의 저감능력 검토를 수행하였으며, 1개의 말뚝을 대상으로 교각과의 이격거리와의 관계를 검토하고자 하였다. 수리모형실험의 결과 유송잡물의 길이가 경간장의 100% 일 경우 저감시설이 없을 경우 교각에 87.6% 집적이 발생하였으나 말뚝이 설치되었을 경우 교각에 직접적으로 집적되는 유송잡물은 없으며 31.7% 유송잡물은 우회말뚝에 집적되는 것으로 나타났다. 실규모 실험의 경우 우회말뚝이 없는 경우 집적률은 60%의 집적이 이루어졌으나 우회말뚝을 설치한 경우 10%의 집적률로 나타났다. 우회 말뚝설치에 따른 저감효과는 발생하였으나 이격거리에 대한 저감능력의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 우회말뚝의 이격거리가 길어질수록 말뚝주변에서 회전되어진 유송잡물이 교각에 간헐적으로 집적되는 현상이 관측되었다. 따라서 말뚝의 위치를 선정하기 위해서는 유송잡물의 길이를 고려하여 설치하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Detour behavior on the expressway means that the driver uses the local road by passing the part of the expressway which is stagnant at the time of the traffic demand such as holidays. Since the detour rate was estimated through the survey at toll gate in the past, there was a difficulty in estimating the actual detour rate due to the small sample of the survey. In this study, we use DSRC-based route travel data to conduct empirical studies on detour patterns such as the estimation of actual detour rate, the improvement of travel time using detour road, and the correlation between traffic conditions on the expressway and detour rate. On the day of Chuseok and the day before Chuseok, the analysis of Giheung-DongtanIC→OsanIC and Seopyeongtaek IC→Walgott JC showed that the use of detour roads increased gradually during the congestion of the main line and travel time reduced when using detour roads, However, when the traffic congestion of the main line is not severe, the travel time increases when using the detour roads. The correlation between the traffic condition of the expressway and the actual detour rate has a negative correlation, which is consistent with the congestion pattern of the main line. The results of this study can be used to overcome limitations of detour pattern research based on surveys in the past and to establish a detour strategy for expressway sections where traffic demand is concentrated.

This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes of coronary artery bypass surgery for ischemic heart disease according to use of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. The subjects were 10,981 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting for ischemic heart disease from July 2008 to June 2012. Analysis data were retrospectively collected using health insurance claims data. The results of the study showed that mean time to surgery (280 min vs 357 min, p<0.0001) and intubation time (about 24 hours vs 40 hours, p<0.0001) were significantly shorter in the Off-Pump CABG (OPCAB) group than in the On-Pump CABG (ONCAB) group. The rate of reoperation because of postoperative bleeding and hematoma was lower in the OPCAB group (2.7% vs 8.3%, p<.0001). The odds ratio of risk adjusted 30 days mortality rate was 0.339 (0.266-0.434) and the postoperative length of stay was decreased in the OPCAB (p<0.0001). Overall, the 30 days mortality and reoperation rates were lower in the OPCAB, as was the resources use.

The widely accepted method for coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) is performing the distal coronary artery anastomoses on the flaccid and nonbeating heart with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) and cardioplegic arrest. However, current cardioplegic techniques are not consistent in avoiding myocardial ischemic damages especially in high risk patients undergoing CABG. In this regard, "Off-Pump" seems to be an ideal method for preventing myocardial ischemic damage and adverse effects during CPB. However, "Off-pump" CABG is not always technically feasible. We report 2 cases of "On-pump" CABG performed on the beating heart in high risk patients; The first patient had left ventricular dysfunction(Ejection Fraction=25%), and the second patient had cardiogenic shock after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Development of intraoperative aortic dissection during coronary artery bypass surgery is extremely rare with catastrophic outcomes resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. The prognosis is highly dependant upon prompt diagnosis and emergent treatment. We report our experience on a 72 year old female patient who successfully received ascending aortic graft replacement for acute intraoperative aortic dissection during coronary artery bypass procedure.

Increasing interest in the use of arterial conduits is based on the better patency of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) than that of saphenous vein (SV) graft and radial artery (RA) is emerging as one of them. We compared the early result of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using UTA and RA (RA group) with CABG using UTA and SV only (SV group). Material and Method: We compared the early operative results of 45 cases in RA group with 45 cases in SV group selected from 165 cases who had CABG between January 2000 and December 2002. The two groups had similar profiles of age, sex, NYHA functional class, left ventricular ejection fraction and coronary angiographic anatomy. We analysed each group on the preoperative risk factors and operative results. Result: There were no statically signigicant difference between groups in operative mortality and each morbidities (stroke, IABP insertion, perioperative MI), respectively. However, the overall incidence of mortality and morbidities was lower in RA group compared to SV group (p < 0.05). RA group (2.93$\pm$0.62 days) had shorter duration of ICU stay than SV group (3.55$\pm$0.95 days) (p<0.001). The patency on postoperative coronary angiography at 7∼14 days after operation in RA group patients were 100% of LITA and RA and 94.9% of SV. Conclusion: We had better early operative results in RA group compared with SV group.

This study focuses on operational analysis of 2 types of intersection shared lanes. First, the analysis showed that a through & right-turn shared lane is always less used than the adjacent through-only lanes and as a result, operational efficiency deteriorates. To improve the efficiency fine-tuning in signal timing optimization using lane-by-lane traffic volume data is required. Further improvement can be achieved by guiding drivers to equally use the shared lane. For left-turn & U-turn shared lanes, it was found that saturation flow rate is affected by interference between U-turn and conflicting right-turn movements. However, since such interference does not occur in every cycle, a statistical model must be established to develop realistic adjustment factor for saturation flow rate of the shared lane.

Background: It has been known that internal thoracic artery grafting has a better patency rate compare to other graft conduits in coronary revascularization. Better patency rates can be expected in more coronary arteries with the use of bilateral internal thoracic artery. However, there were some debates on the complications after the use of bilateral internal thoracic artery. The purpose of our study was to reveal the results of bilateral internal thoracic artery. Material and Method: The 26 coronary artery bypass operations with bilateral internal thoracic artery were performed from July 2001 to May 2002. We compared the results of 8 diabetic patients to those of 18 non-diabetic patients. We compared the results of BITA (bilateral internal thoracic artery) group to those of SITA (single internal thoracic artery) group that were 20 patients and performed during same period. Result: There was no mortality. There was one wound complication in the diabetic group and one in the non-diabetic group. There were no significant differences in operation time, duration of mechanical ventilation, amount of bleeding, infusing duration of cardiotonics, and complication between two groups. There were no significant differences in results between the BITA group and the SITA group. Conclusion: There were no significant differences in early results between the BITA group and the SITA group, and there were no significant differences in results between the diabetic group and the non-diabetic group. We think coronary artery bypass grafting with the use of bilateral internal thoracic artery is considered in diabetic patients.
