The objective of this Paper is to derive an adjustment factor for the presence of heavy vehicles when estimating capacity at unsignalized intersections (and/or at modern roundabouts). According to the 1997 and 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), potential capacity in such cases is estimated by simply adjusting base critical gap and base follow-up time. However, the procedure suggested in the HCM may lead to some errors in the adjustment, hence resulting in poor evaluation and design for the intersections, because it determines the value of adjusting factors by only the number of lanes on main streets regardless of the types of heavy vehicles. This paper shows a simple formula for making the adjustment. This formula is much like the HCM formula used for heavy vehicles in estimating highway capacity by the adoption of passenger car units (PCU). In contrast to the traditional approaches seen in the HCM, the PCU value of this case is explicitly expressed by the flow rate in the major streams and the gap difference in critical gaps chosen by passenger cars and particular heavy vehicles. Computational results of the adjustment factor are graphically illustrated.

본 논문은 차량의 번호판 인식 시스템을 구축할 목적으로 번호판 추출을 컬러 정보를 이용하여 구현하였다. 본 실험은 특히 번호판 추출에 많은 장애 요인, 즉, 흐린날, 늦은 오후에 촬영된 차량, 번호판과 같은 색상을 가지는 차량, 그늘진 곳에 주차된 차량 그리고, 운행중인 차량에 대해서도 실험 대상으로 하였다. 그리고, 본 논문에서는 빠른 번호판 검출을 위하여 부분 영역에 대한 특정 픽셀을 추출하였고, 변형 모폴로지와 레이블링의 반복 적용을 통하여 번호판을 검출하며, 후처리를 통하여 보다 정확한 영역을 재보정 한다.

The structural integrity of bridges is mainly damaged by overloaded heavy vehicles. The increasing volumes of overloaded heavy vehicles has been indicated as serious state. As results several countries have revised their bridge load codes. However, because of variety of truck types and their weights it is difficult to develop rational standard truck loads. In addition the common practice that only one design configuration of standard truck is adopted to design variety of bridges causes further difficulties. The objective of the study is to investigate the statistical characteristics of vehicle loadings based on survey data collected, in which some major factors, such as vehicle configurations, vehicle weights, traffic modes, etc., are incorporated. The vehicle load effects due to single presence of heavy truck are also tested with several short-span bridges and probabilistic characteristics of current design practices are evaluated.

After constructing the high-speed railroad, KORAIL acquired advanced maintenance techniques about Rolling-stocks. Also RCM theory is applied to maintenance field like as inspection period and method. In the meantime, the development of the maintenance methode for Rolling-stock is slow when it compares to the components and system technology. For this reason KORAIL tries to build the optimal maintenance system which can lead the Rolling-stock maintenance technique. The existing vehicle except High Speed train KTX are separated to electric motor car, electric locomotive, diesel locomotive, diesel car, passenger car and freight car. The inspection period and methode for existing vehicles which mentioned above will be examined and the optimal Rolling-stock maintenance technique will be applied.

In design of bridges, estimation of actions and loadings is very important for the safety and maintenance of bridges. In general, effect of traffic loading on the bridge can be modeled as live load (including impact load) and fatigue load. For estimation of traffic loading, it is important to get reliable and comprehensive truck statistical data such as the traffic and weight information. To get statistical data, Bridge Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM), which measures the truck weights without stopping the traffic, is need to be developed. In this study, BWIM system with various functions is developed first. Then this system is used to get comprehensive truck data. Traffic loadings including fatigue and live loading are formulated from the truck data acquired from the bridges. Objectives of this study are to develop the BWIM system, to apply the system in test bridge in Highway, and to formulate the live and fatigue loading for bridge design.

In modern society, the transportation sector is having difficulties with mobility, safety, energy and environment issues so that solutions should be prepared progressively. Recently developed countries are paying greater attention to car-sharing systems as alternatives for relieving problems caused by increasing number of vehicles. Car-sharing systems are believed to keep the number of personal vehicles down and traffic congestion due to the fact that this system induces efficiency of vehicle operation. In this study, authors focused on solving the imbalance problem of car-sharing systems dynamically, to specifically improve one-way car sharing service. Therefore vehicle relocation algorithm was designed for maximizing profit of car sharing operators. For the application of the vehicle relocation algorithm among rental offices, we selected Haeundae-gu, Busan as the area of study. Rental offices have been designated to the zone centroid and we calculated the shortest path between rental offices by using TransCAD. In the study, we adapted MATLAB for the application of vehicle relocation algorithm. As the results, the total vehicle relocation time was estimated as 59.9 minutes. In addition, vehicle relocation algorithm was verified successfully by using Decision Tree method.
