The ramp metering strategy is one of the effective ways to solve the freeway traffic congestion in peak time periods. The study was initiated with assurance that the traffic conditions of ramp and mainline that mitigate the congestion would exist. Under the moderate traffic volume levels, ramp metering is expected to improve the quality of freeway operation. To derive a range of traffic condition, three operation strategies(Do nothing, ramp metering, minimum ramp control) were set up and the ALINEA algorithm was implemented with microscopic traffic simulator "VISSIM". The volumes of mainline and ramp are key parameters for the simulation scenarios. Measures of effectiveness for the study include mainline density and average vehicle speed. Operation boundaries in terms of traffic volume were proposed for operating ramp metering strategy. The results show that under the proposed traffic conditions the ramp metering was more successful to increase average vehicle speeds. Traffic controls under the operation boundaries of traffic levels give significant effects for density and average vehicle speed. The outcomes of this study would be useful to improve the performance of ramp metering strategies.

This paper aims at developing an active expressway entrance control effectiveness analysis tool which operators can utilize and manage traffic based on current traffic condition. For this, after identifying the current problems of tollgate-based entrance policy being used, a new set of decision element such as congestion index, decision criteria for congestion, and congestion management unit has been proposed together with the procedure of newly developed tollgate control policy. Three key parts developed are traffic condition identification module, tollgate metering module, and travel speed calculation module. Some measures of effectiveness were also identified and the newly developed effectiveness analysis tool produced better result. According to classification of traffic condition by reference speed as 80km/h, the improved tollgate entrance procedure increased 21.5% in average travel speed compared with Do-Nothing case and also increased 8.8% compared with current entrance control method.

고속도로 교통축은 고속도로와 운전자가 대체도로로 이용할 수 있는 표면가로로 구성된 가로망을 말한다. 이러한 고속도로에서의 도로망의 효율을 극대화하기 위해서 시행되고 있는 제어기법으로는 고속도로 진입램프에서의 램프미터링과 표면가로에서의 신호시간조정 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나, 이를 통합한 제어전략은 아직 고려되고 있지 못하다. 고속도로에서 사고나 극심한 혼잡으로 인해 지체가 되었을 경우 단순히 진입램프에서 램프미터링만을 실행하는 것이 아니라 부체도로로의 경로전환을 통해 고속도로교통축의 효율을 극대화할 수 있다. 이는 지능형교통체계(ITS)에서 고려하고 있는 경로안내시스템과도 결부된다. 그러므로, 고속도로 교통축에서는 진입램프에서의 램프미터링전략과 진출램프에서의 경로전환전략, 표면가로에서의 신호최적화전략을 통한 제어를 실행할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 고속도로에서의 진입램프미터링과 진출램프를 통한 경로전환, 표면가로에서의 신호시간조정을 통합한 제어모형을 구축하고, 그에 따른 통합제어알고리즘을 개발하는 것을 본 논문의 목적으로 한다. 통합제어모형은 적정 제어변수의 값을 구하기 용이하게 하기 위해 선형계획법을 적용하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 통합제어알고리즘을 우수성을 검증하였다.

The approach and landing phase of a re-entry vehicle is composed of Steep Glideslope phase, Circular Flare phase, Flare Maneuver phase. The trajectory planning algorithm with geometric parameters is studied in this paper for on-board trajectory planning.

본 논문은 우주 발사 비행체가 지구 재진입 할 때의 유도제어에 관한 것이다. 우주 발사 비행체의 재진입궤적은 재진입 할 때의 특징에 따라 여러 단계로 나누어진다. 저항가속도는 각 단계에 따라 알맞은 파라메터로 표현되며, 해석적인 저항가속도로 단순화된 궤적으로 표현한다. 본 연구는 현재의 이란적인 궤적방법과 예측방법의 각각의 장점에 의한 혼합유도방법을 표현하였다. 제안된 유도방법을 이용한 우주 발사 비행체의 재진입 모의실험의 결과는 혼합유도방법이 지구대기 재진입 할 때 간단하고 효과적인 유도방법임을 보여주었다.

Currently, the wireless network environment of air node is constructed mainly of ground relay station. However, as the Korean Peninsula is composed of 70% mountainous region, there are multiple shadow zones. This is calling for effective measures to prevent aircraft from losing communication link during low-mid altitude missions. In this article we propose the utilization of Bezier Curve for estimation of aircraft flight path and control method for entering shadow zone. This method successfully estimated aircraft track, and analyzed the existence, disseminated the warning, and took measures to avoid the shadow zone before entering. This article, suggested after simulated experiments, proves that the method enables seamless communication during air operations.

This paper describes a result of the guidance and control for re-entry vehicle during TAEM phase. TAEM phase (Terminal Aerial Energy Management phase) has many conditions, such as density, velocity, and so on. Under these conditions, we have optimized trajectory and other states for guidance in TAEM phase. The optimized states consist of 7 variables, down-range, cross range, altitude, velocity, flight path angle, vehicle's azimuth and flight range. We obtained the optimized reference trajectory by DIDO tool, and used feedback linearization with neural network for control re-entry vehicle. By back propagation algorithm, vehicle dynamics is approximated to real one. New command can be decided using the approximated dynamics, delayed command input and plant output, NARMA-L2. The result by this control law shows a good performance of tracking onto the reference trajectory.

본 논문에서는 영전류 모드로 진입한 zero voltage transition(ZVT) interleaved bi-direction low voltage DC-DC converter(IB-LDC)의 도통 손실을 최소화하기 위한 위상 제어가 제안된다. IB-LDC의 출력단 배터리가 완충되어 영전류 모드로 진입하면 IB-LDC의 입 출력 평균 전류는 0[A]로 감소하지만 보조 회로 전류는 기존의 설계 값에 의해 감소하지 않아 지속적인 도통 손실을 일으킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영전류 모드로 진입한 IB-LDC의 보조 회로에 ZVT 조건을 만족시키는 공진 전류만 흐르도록 하여 도통 손실을 최소화하는 위상 제어를 제안하였다. 또한 PSIM simulation 및 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

Ramp metering is a traffic management technique that reduces the congestion of Expressway by controlling vehicles entering the highway. It is widely used outside the country, and Korea is also operating in seven sites (Seoul Ring Expressway). Ramp metering has the advantage of reducing congestion of Expressway, but there are disadvantages, as queuing occurs because vehicles are waiting for ramp, and the ramp queue affects adjacent roads at rush hour. To solve this problem, we improved the ramp metering algorithm to reduce the metering rate more spaces on ramp and to increase the metering rate less spaces. In order to evaluate this, the combined evaluation index was used and it was found that the result satisfied the equity and efficiency at the same time.
