The performance of lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EV) varies greatly depending on the battery temperature. In this paper, the finite difference method was used to evaluate the temperature change, state of charge (SOC), internal resistance, and voltage change of the battery due to heat generation in the battery. The simulation model was linked with AMESim to calculate the driving range of an EV traveling in New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) mode. As the temperature dropped below $25^{\circ}C$, the internal resistance of the battery increased, which increased the amount of heat generated and decreased the driving range of EV. At battery temperatures above $25^{\circ}C$, the driving range was also decreased due to reduced SOC that deteriorated the battery performance. The battery showed optimal performance and the driving range was maximized at $25^{\circ}C$. When battery temperatures of $-20^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$, the driving range of EV decreased by 33% and 1.8%, respectively. Maintaining the optimum battery temperature requires heating the battery at low temperature and cooling it down at high temperature through efficient battery thermal management. Approximately 500 W of heat should be supplied to the battery when the ambient temperature is $-20^{\circ}C$, while 250 W of heat should be removed for the battery to be maintained at $25^{\circ}C$.

In this study, we presented a method to recognize vehicle license plates using CNN techniques. A vehicle plate is normally used for the official identification purposes by the authorities. Most regular Optical Character Recognition (OCR) techniques perform well in recognizing printed characters on documents but cannot make out the registration number on the number plates. Besides, the existing approaches to plate number detection require that the vehicle is stationary and not in motion. To address these challenges to number plate detection we make the following contributions. We create a database of captured vehicle number plate's images and recognize the number plate character using Convolutional Neural Networks. The results of this study can be usefully used in parking management systems and enforcement cameras.

This study discusses the effectiveness of safety management programs resulted from examining crash data collected during the period of implementation of the programs by a commercial transport company. For the analysis, two tye of comparison approaches are adopted: 1) a study comparing before-after of the implementation of a safety program, and 2) a study comparing a traffic accident index for various target groups. Technically, the effect of the safety management program is derived by eliminating both the 'regression to the mean' and the changing trend in the traffic accident index. The results show that safety management programs are effective to prevent traffic accidents, whereas company type appears irrelevant. The results also show that the effectiveness is significantly different depending on the intensity of safety management program and company size. In addition, a reciprocal effect is very likely to existamong the combination of these variables. This indicates that in order to improve the accident reduction effectiveness of such programs, the development and application of safety management programs based on both safety management strength and company size are required.

This study aims to propose integrated management strategies based on the relationship between co-benefits and total benefits of greenhouse gases and air pollutant emissions for establishing a transport and environmental policy. The results show that the integrated management of the following policies: 'Car Free Day' and 'Early Scrapping of Decrepit Diesel Vehicle', which are used for reducing reduce gasoline and diesel, can together reduce both PM and $CO_2$ emissions and increase total benefits. In addition, the integrated management of 'Car Free Day' with environment policies and 'Congestion Charge' with environment policies simultaneously controls the three factors which influence emissions, including travel volume, travel speed and emissions factor, and was found to be effective in terms of co-benefits. This study reduces both air pollutants, which are harmful to health, and greenhouse gas emissions, which influence climate change, and improves the efficiency of policy through the integrated management of policies.

휘발성유기화합물질 (Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs)은 오존층을 파괴시키는 염소화합물과 광화학 스모그를 형성하는 촉매로 작용하는 주요 대기오염 물질일 뿐만 아니라 VOCs 자체로도 인류의 건강을 위협하는 물질이다. 특히 휘발성유기화합물은 물질의 종류가 수십 종에 이르며 석유화학산업, 도료산업 등의 고농도 발생사업장과 상대적으로 낮은 농토수준이기는 하지만 일상생활에서 절하게 되는 자동차, 주유소, 세탁소 등의 시설을 통해 지속적으로 환경계에 배출되는 등 발생원이 다양하며 측정분석방법에 내재된 어려움으로 인하여 다른 일반적인 대기오염물질에 비하여 여러 가지 측면에서 적절한 관리가 힘든 것으로 알려져 있다.

최근 들어 내수용 및 수출용 자동차 보증 제도를 살펴보면 부품에 대한 방식 보증기간이 점차 연장되는 추세이며, 이에 따라 자동차사에서 요구하는 방식 및 내식성 평가 기준이 상향되어 가고 있다. 실제로 수출차에 대한 방청 품질 보증기간이 차체 구멍 발청 10년에서 12년으로 연장할 움직임을 보이는 등 점차 방식에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 따라서 내식성 향상에 대한 끊임없는 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 내식성 향상을 위해 구조/형상 변화, 도장 품질 향상, 최적화 설계 등 다방면에서 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그 중에서도 가장 근본적인 해결책인 소재의 내식성 향상에 대한 관심은 날로 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 특히 일본 등지에서는 GA 도금재의 사용이 증가하고 있으나, 아직은 내식성에 대한 효율적이고 체계적인 관리가 부족한 면이 있다. GA재는 합금화 과정에서 야기되는 Fe% 합금화도, 합금화 상분율(감마, 델타, 제타상), crater 등 복잡한 소재의 특성으로 인해 소재의 내식성 분석에 고려할 사항이 많다. 실제 여러 실험들을 통해서 GA재가 내식성에 영향이 있는 인자들에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되었지만 명확히 정량화되어 있지 않은 관계로 GA재의 내식성 관리 기준에 대해서도 명확하진 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 당사재와 타사재의 고강도 GA재 (>440 MPa) 11종에 대해 crater분율, zeta상, 합금화도, 도금량 등의 다양한 도금 물성들을 조사하였다. 또한 이 시편들을 34일 동안의 복합염수 분무법(CCT)을 통해 얻은 최대 및 평균 블리스터 폭과 소재 표면품질 물성과의 상관관계를 통해서 부식과 연관된 관련인자들을 도출하고 정량적인 관계를 살펴보았다. GA재의 경우 다양한 물성들 중에서 도금 크레이터, 제타상, 합금화도 순으로 내식성에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인이 되었으며 이 세 인자들을 내식성 평가 지수화하여 GA재 생산시 효율적인 관리범위를 지정하는데 이용 가능할 수 있도록 diagram을 도출하였다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 자동차사에서 요구하는 내식성 기준을 만족하기 위한 내식성 상관 인자들의 관리 수준을 정량화함으로써 보다 우수한 소재의 관리를 할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

In order to prevent various accidents with construction machinery, Korea enacted the Construction Machinery Management Act to enhance safety. Until now, there has been a lack of systematic research related to traffic accidents with construction machinery. Therefore, domestic and foreign systems related to construction machinery were reviewed, and the current status was analyzed based on traffic accident data over the past 5 years to derive implications. It is necessary to ensure the safety of construction machinery by correcting institutional loopholes and preparing follow-up measures. In addition, it is necessary to create a separate traffic-safety education program for construction machinery operators to create an environment that can comply with safe road-driving methods and traffic laws.

Metropolitan buses are managed as either a direct seat type or a metropolitan express type according to the 「Passenger Transport Service Act」. However, a management system that reflects the characteristics of metropolitan buses is not currently established. Therefore, in this study, the driving characteristics of metropolitan buses, dangerous driving behavior characteristics of metropolitan bus drivers, metropolitan bus accident characteristics, and the safety management system of domestic and foreign buses and other means were investigated. Through this, a plan for strengthening the safety management of metropolitan buses suitable for Korea was presented by dividing it into short-term and mid to long term. The short-term plan is a plan that can be carried out through consultation between metropolitan bus agencies and transportation companies, and the mid to long term plan is a plan that can be implemented only when related laws are revised. Through this study, it is expected to serve as an opportunity for in-depth discussions by the government, business operators, and related experts to strengthen the safety management of metropolitan buses.
