The total number of railroad stations managed in Korea is 322 (including general and wide-area railways), and a considerable number of stations are aging. In terms of the size of the existing railway station and the number of entrances, it has not been possible to secure adequate service capacity, and the demand for station improvement is increasing due to changes in surrounding conditions such as urban development. In the past, railroad stations were focused on the simple function of a connection passage in terms of maintenance or management, but in recent years, railroad stations are also changing to an atmosphere that they should be reborn as a user-centered comfortable, convenient, and safe service provision space. In this study, a case study related to the improvement of the old railway station was conducted to derive an improvement plan that meets the improvement standard of the old station, and the service level evaluation standard was developed. By introducing the concept of service level (LOS) in the development model, station congestion, station movement convenience, and station safety were selected as evaluation indicators. In addition, this development model applied an analytical stratification technique to divide various evaluation elements of each indicator into major and detailed elements and derive the relative importance of the elements by class. Priority for improvement was derived using the ratio of the number of E and F on the LOS for each facility. Based on this study, it is expected to be helpful in using it as an evaluation criterion for improving objective and equitable railway station.

Construction site layout is attracting attention as efficient use of construction site space greatly affects the duration and cost of the overall construction. Therefore, there are many studies that automate and optimize construction site layout planning. However, the usability of construction site, which consists of goal variables of the studies, has still been unknown. Therefore, the authors present the evaluation criteria for usability of construction site layout and evaluate the usability of domestic construction sites through user survey. Furthermore, the difference in usability between construction site managers and construction site workers was confirmed. As a result of the survey, domestic construction site layout had a low effectiveness and had the lowest score in the environment category. In addition, construction site workers scored lower overall than construction site managers. Through such usability evaluation results, it contributed to the construction site layout theory by assessing current construction site layout practice and suggesting an improvement direction for automating site layout planning.

관개배수를 수행하는 농업용 수리시설물은 소규모이고 개소수가 많아 효율적으로 관리하기가 어려우며, 넓은 지역에 분포하고 있어 시설 현황의 파악조차 쉽지 않다. 농업용 수리시설물은 점검자가 관리항목을 종이 조사표에 수기로 작성하여 시설상태를 점검하고 있기 때문에 자료의 누락 및 오류, 전산화를 위한 재입력 과정 등에 있어서 어려움이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 시설물을 효과적으로 관리하기 위해서는 정보망을 구성하여 원격으로 관리하거나, 직접 시설물을 돌아보며 관리해야 한다. 전자의 경우에는 비용이 많이 들기 때문에 적은 수의 관리지점을 제어하는 데는 유리하나, 농업용 수리시설물과 같이 개체수가 많을 경우에는 적용이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업용 수리시설 점검 및 관리의 편의성, 효율성을 제고하기 위하여 농업용 수리시설물에 대하여 점검표준코드를 설계하였으며, WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) 기반의 점검기술 (RFID 및 QR코드)을 개발, 현장 적용을 통하여 활용성을 평가하였다. WSN 기술을 바탕으로 빠르고 정확하게 시설물을 인식할 수 있으며, 식별한 시설물의 정보를 바탕으로 현장에서 시설물에 대한 적절한 대응이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 개발한 기술은 대한민국 이동 지구의 시설물을 관리하는 데 직접 이용함으로써 평가하였다. 본 연구는 기존 농업용 수리시설물 점검의 비효율성을 개선하고 시설물 안전 평가 및 현장 이력 관리 등 현장 업무 효율 향상을 통해 농업용 수리시설 관리 및 농업용수 관리에 기여하는 바가 클 것으로 기대된다.

최근 그린 친환경, 지구온난화방지와 환경 부하물질저감, 기기 고효율화, 연비향상 등의 관점에서 항공기, 자동차 등 운송기계와 휴대용 전자제품 등 경량화가 요구되는 분야에서 경량합금의 사용이 급증하고 있다. 특히, 경량합금 중 가장 가벼운 마그네슘 합금은 최근 주목을 받고 있는 금속재료이다. 그러나 마그네슘합금은 알루미늄합금과는 달리 상온 성형성 및 접합성이 양호하지 않은 관계로 판재를 이용한 구조부품의 제작을 위해서는 많은 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 마그네슘합금 판재의 마찰 교반 점용접을 시도하였다. CNC 밀링머신을 사용하여 프로브의 회전 및 삽입 속도에 변화를 주어 접합 특성을 평가하였고, 각 변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 적외선 열화상기와 로드셀을 사용하여 마찰 교반 점용접 중에 발생하는 교반부 온도와 접합부에 가해지는 수직부가하중의 거동을 측정하였다. 마찰 교반 점용접 후, 시험편의 접합 상태와 접합부 단면 관찰을 통해 접합 상태를 조사하였다. 그리고 인장전단 실험을 실시하여 마찰 교반 점용접된 시혐편의 접합강도를 평가하였고, 파단된 시험편의 파면을 관찰하였다.

기후 변화 시나리오는 온실가스, 에어로졸, 토지이용 변화 등 인위적인 원인으로 발생한 복사강제력 변화를 지구시스템 모델에 적용하여 산출한 미래 기후 전망정보(기온, 강수량, 바람, 습도 등)를 생산하는데 활용된다. 또한, 미래에 기후변화로 인한 영향을 평가하고 피해를 최소화하는데 활용할 수 있는 선제적인 정보로 활용된다. GCM과 RCM은 구조 및 모수화 과정, 불확실성 등의 한계로 인하여 상대적으로 큰 시공간적 규모를 가지며, 실제 관측된 기상인자들을 재현하는데 시공간적 차이 즉 편의(bias)가 발생하며. 실제 관측된 기상인자의 시간적 변화 특성을 재현하지 못하는 문제점을 내재하고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이러한 점에서 기후모델에서 생산된 정보를 수문학적으로 적용하기 위해서는 시공간적 상세화와 편의 보정은 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 관측자료를 사용하여 재해석 자료를 편의보정 한 뒤. 기후 변화 시나리오를 합성곱 신경망(CNN)을 기반으로 상세화 과정을 진행하여 고해상도 자료를 생산하였으며, CNN 기반 상세화 기법 적용성은 지상 관측자료 대상으로 평가하였다.
