As global warming accelerates, greenhouse gas reduction becomes more important. Carbon dioxide dry reforming is a promising green-house gas reduction technology that can obtain CO and $H_2$ which are high value-added materials by utilizing $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ which are greenhouse gases. However, there is a significant coking problem during operation of the dry reforming reactor. Because the carbon dioxide dry reforming is a strong endothermic reaction, the temperature of the reactor drops near the reactor inlet and causes coke formation. To solve this problem, it is important to ensure that the reaction takes place in a temperature range where coke production is minimized. In this study, we proposed a design method that can maintain reaction temperature in the region where the coke is rarely generated by using the new catalyst configuration method. The design method also optimizes the reactor by solving the optimization problem which minimizes the reactor length for a given reaction conversion by using the fuel flow rate, catalyst density, and output temperature by section as optimization variables.

Recently, heterogeneous networks consisting of small-cells on top of traditional macro-cellular network has attracted much attention, because traditional macro-cellular network is not suitable to support more demanding mobile data traffic due to its limitation of spatial reuse. However, due to the transmit power difference between macro- and small-cells, most users are associated with macro-cells rather than small-cells. To solve this problem, enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) has been introduced. Particularly, in eICIC, the small-cell coverage is forcibly expanded to associate more users with small-cells. Then, to avoid cross-tier interference from macro-cells, these users are allowed to receive the data during almost blank subframe (ABS) in which macro-cells almost remain silent. However, this approach is not sufficient to balance the load between macro- and small-cells because it only expands the small-cell coverage. In this paper, we propose a load balance scheme improving proportional fairness for heterogeneous networks employing eICIC. In particular, the proposed scheme combines the greedy-based user association and the ABS rate determination in a recursive manner to perform the load balance.

In the four-step demand model, a gravity mode is used most commonly at the trip distribution stage. The purpose of this study was to develop a new friction factor that can express the accessibility property as a single friction factor to compensate for the variable limits of the gravity model parameters (travel time, travel cost). To derive a new friction factor, a new friction factor was derived using the space syntax that can quantify the characteristics of the urban space structure, deriving the link-unit integration degree and then using the travel time and travel distance relationship. Calibration of the derived friction factor resulted in a similar level to that of the existing friction factor. As a result of verifying the various indicators, the explanatory power was found to be excellent in the short - and long - distance range. Therefore, it is possible to derive and apply the new friction factor using the integration index, which can complement the accessibility beyond the limit of the existing shortest distance, and it is believed to be more advantageous in future utilization.

상수관망은 수용가에게 용수를 공급하는 사회기반시설물로, 용수를 공급하는 과정에서 관내에 이물질, 스케일 등의 생성은 불가피하다. 관로 변경, 단수로 인한 비상시 용수 공급 등의 유향 및 유속이 변화가 발생할 경우 스케일이 박리되어 적수사고 등의 수질문제가 발생 할 수 있으며, 이에 사전에 스케일을 제거 할 필요성이 있다. 스케일을 제거하기 위해서는 주기적인 관세척이 필요하며, 대표적인 공법으로는 플러싱공법이 있다. 현재까지 플러싱공법에 대한 연구는 실험을 통한 적용 권장 기준으로 진행되어 왔으나, 실제 상수관망에서 적용권장 기준을 확보하기 위한 방안에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 플러싱공법의 대표적은 종류는 재래식 플러싱공법과 단방향 플러싱공법이 있다. 재래식 플러싱공법은 제수밸브를 조작하지 않는 방법으로, 모든 소화전에서 용수를 방출하는 공법이다. 단방향 플러싱공법은 제수밸브를 조작하여, 일정한 방향으로 요수를 방출하는 공법이다. 단방향 플러싱공법은 재래식 플러싱공법보다 유속확보 측면에서 유리하여 관로 세척을 위한 유량 및 유속 확보가 용이하다. 단방향 플러싱공법을 적용하기 위해서는 관로의 유속을 확보하기 위해 세척구역 정의하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 세척구역 정의를 통한 플러싱공법 적용 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 세척구역은 크게 3단계로 구분한다. 먼저 블록단위의 세척순서를 결정하고, 블록 내 관망 세척구역을 결정한다. 이때 관로의 관경, 곡선구간, 세척구역의 길이를 고려하여 세척구역을 정의한다. 마지막으로 결정된 세척구역을 제수밸브의 위치, 조작 횟수에 근거하여 세척순서를 결정한다. 본 연구를 통해 실제 상수관망 플러싱공법 적용 절차 수립에 기여할 수 있다.

By applying coarse-grained limestone and unprocessed coal ash as sintering raw materials for cement clinker, the microstructure and distribution of chemical components of cement clinker were compared and examined. Samples using coarse limestone as a raw material for cement clinker showed a decrease in sinterability compared to samples using reagent-grade raw materials. Samples using coal ash showed a tendency for some increase in sinterability. In samples using coarse limestone and coal ash, the formation of Belite was high at 1350 ℃. The conversion rate from Belite to Alite was high in the range of 1350~1450 ℃. Samples using coal ash showed stable formation of interstitial phase in the range of 1350 to 1450 ℃. The microstructure and chemical composition distribution of cement clinker sintered at 1350~1450 ℃ showed that all samples showed a form and composition distribution in which the calcium silicate phase and interstitial phase were clearly distinguished.

This paper presents a Zero-Current Switching(ZCS) two-transformer phase-shifted full-bridge(TTFB) converter using voltage ripple. The proposed converter provides Zero-Voltage Switching(ZVS) of leading leg switches and ZCS of lagging leg switches using voltage ripple. Especially, circulating current is reduced by ZCS operation and there are no additional components required for the soft switching of power switches. Furthermore, in case of light load, ZVS operation of lagging leg can be achieved. The operations, analysis and design consideration of proposed converter are presented. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, experimental results for a 410W (205[V], 2[A]) prototype are presented.

Travel Demand Forecasting (TDF) is an essential and critical process in the evaluation of the highway improvement Project. The four-step TDF Process has generally been used to forecast travel demand and analyze the effects of diverted travel demand based on the given Origin-Destination trips in the future. Transportation system improvements, however, generate more travel, Induced Travel Demand (ITD) or latent travel demand, which has not been considered in the project evaluation. The Purpose of this study Is to develop a model which can forecast the ITD applied theory of economics and the Program(I.D.A) which can be widely applied to project evaluation analysis. The Kang-Byun-Book-Ro expansion scenario is used to apply and analyze a real-world situation. The result highlights that as much as 15% of diverted travel demand is generated as ITD. The results of this study are expected to improve reliability of the project evaluation of the highway improvement Project.

In this paper, we propose a video summarization technique on a smartphone, based on spatiotemporal saliency. The proposed technique detects scene changes by computing the difference of the color histogram, which is robust to camera and object motion. Then the similarity between adjacent frames, face region, and frame saliency are computed to analyze the spatiotemporal saliency in a video clip. Over-segmented hierarchical tree is created using scene changes and is updated iteratively using mergence and maintenance energies computed during the analysis procedure. In the updated hierarchical tree, segmented frames are extracted by applying a greedy algorithm on the node with high saliency when it satisfies the reduction ratio and the minimum interval requested by the user. Experimental result shows that the proposed method summaries a 2 minute-length video in about 10 seconds on a commercial smartphone. The summarization quality is superior to the commercial video editing software, Muvee.

In order to minimize the maintenance cost at local lines, Information & Communication Technology based onboard train control system is being developed. Unlike the central traffic control based fixed block system, this system use a moving block method and railway driver direct control switch and railway crossing. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the concerned main operational issues are as follows: the preparation of train operation, drivability, the role of driver and controller, block system and cost. We defined the role of driver and driver's input data for train service, and we designed the business process of driver using UML tool. We considered the aspect of drivability, DMI is needed to support the braking moment for the driver and driver training simulator. We designed the driver business process for control of switch and railway crossing. We analyzed the fixed block system and moving block system to confirm the difference with the existing operational method. The cost analysis structure is also needed for the operation cost comparison.

HyGIS는 DEM 기반의 수문지형처리를 중심으로 다양한 모형을 연계할 수 있도록 구성된 S/W 모음이다. 이는 한국건설기술연구원을 비롯한 다수의 기관 및 연구원들이 노력한 성과물이다. 본 연구는 기존 HyGIS 연구과정에서 도출된 성과물의 실용화 사업화를 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 S/W 테스팅, 오픈소스 도입, 클라우드 컴퓨팅으로 나누어 접근하였다. 먼저 S/W의 테스팅에 있어서 기존 개발 소스코드는 블랙박스 테스트 방식의 동등 클래스 분할, 경계 값 분석 등 일부 모듈에 대한 단위 테스트와 제한적인 통합테스트가 수행된 바 있다. 보다 체계적인 테스트 단계로서 화이트박스 테스트 개념 중 문장/분기/조건 커버리지에 대하여 검토하였으며, 실제 소스코드 중 핵심 구간에 대한 적용 및 정량화를 통하여 현 수준을 객관적으로 진단하였고 보완 방안을 도출하였다. 오픈소스 적용을 위하여 QGIS, MapWindow 등 공간정보 분야의 최신 오픈소스 모듈을 비교 검토하였다. 적용 단계는 이를 기존 HyGIS S/W에 반영시키는 과정이며, S/W 관점에서는 컴포넌트 모듈의 대체라고 표현될 수 있다. 대규모의 전환 비용이 발생되므로 적용 후보에 대하여는 기능적 측면 뿐만 아니라 마이그레이션 비용과 중장기적인 유지보수 비용을 고려한 검토가 이루어 졌다. 한편 오픈소스 기술의 적용은 단순히 구성 요소 원가절감 측면만이 아닌, 중장기적 유지보수 체계 도모 및 지속가능한 생태계로의 전환에 더 큰 의의가 있다. 마지막으로 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술의 적용 분야이다. HyGIS 입력 Data의 공급을 위한 인프라로서 자체 구축 인프라가 아닌 IaaS 클라우드인 Blob Storage 및 CDN을 시험 적용하였다. 클라우드를 활용함으로써 초기 비용을 최소화하고 합리적 비용으로 유연한 확장이 가능한(Scale Out, Scale Up) 구조를 취하게 되었다. 또한 입력 Data 공급 서버를 위한 Storage 측면만이 아니라 S/W의 배포에 있어서도 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술을 활용하고자 시도하였다. 클라우드 기술을 활용하여 HyGIS S/W가 설치된 VM(Virtual Machine)자체를 임대하는 방식으로 시험 구성 되었다. VM에 대한 RDP 프로토콜 Access에 있어서 IP기반 접근 제어를 통하여 보안을 강화하는 방안을 실험하였으며, ISO 27001, ISO 27018 등 관련 보안 규정에 부합하는 서비스 제공이 가능하도록 검토하였다. 이러한 클라우드 VM방식 서비스를 통하여 Package형 S/W 뿐만 아니라 Subscription 방식의 서비스 제공 방식을 병행할 수 있다. 사용자에게는 S/W 설치 및 H/W Lock 구비 과정이 생략되는 이점이 있다.
