Stormwater pipe systems are most commonly used to discharge rainwater from the urban catchment covered by the impervious area. To design stormwater pipe and rainwater pumping station, frequency analysis is implemented using historical rainfall and the design rainfall is timely distributed using theoretical shape such as Huff distribution. This method cannot consider the rainfall intensity variation caused by climate change which is type of uncertainty. Therefore, in this study, runoff from Gasan1 stormwater pumping stations catchment is calculated using design rainfall distributed by the 2nd quartile distribution method and the historical rainfall events. From the analysis, the nodal flooding in the urban catchment is likely caused by the high peak rainfall event rather than the large amount of rainfall. The linear regression analysis is implemented. As a result, when several storms have the same amount of rainfall, the nodal flooding in the stormwater pipe systems could be caused by the high peak of storm events. Since as the storm duration become short, the peak rainfall become high, the nodal flooding likely become severe with the short storm duration. The uncertainty in the peak data of design rainfall is analyzed and this uncertainty has to be consider in the stormwater pipe design process.

There are many limitations in dealing with rapidly changing traffic demand in urban cities. Thus recently, traffic operation and management skills are more emphasized rather than the expansion of traffic facilities. In particular, in the interrupted flow formed by signalized intersections, it is quite important to give optimal signal timing to each intersection with consideration of progression. However, as fixed signal times per direction can affect passing capacity in signalized intersections, the present four-signal phase including a left-turn signal has many limitations, including reduction of directional road capacity when traffic demand is increases dramatically during peak hours. Because of this problem, lots of studies about internal metering techniques for oversaturated signal control skills have progressed but these techniques are not used widely due to the absence of detectors for queue sensing in real-time signal control systems. In this research, a new methodology called the "restrictive left-turn signal control", which is already used at the intersection above Samsung subway station, is suggested in order to reduce control delay of urban arterial roads. The restrictive left-turn signal control allows a driver to make a U-turn and then a right turn instead of turning left in that intersection. With this change, the restrictive left-turn signal control can contribute to increased intersection capacity by reducing the number of signal phases and maximizing the through phase time. However, road structure and traffic conditions at the target intersections should be considered before the adoption of the proposed signal control.

Because of short length between interchanges, traffic congestion has been caused by a lot of short trip traffic in the urban section of interregional expressway. Also, in case of expressway with Bus Only Lane, bus causes dangerous situation by conflicting between vehicles and buses in order to access from Bus Only Lane to IC. Therefore, this study aims to propose Express Lane applied by Bus Only Lane as a new lane operation in order to efficiently operate and to analyze the effectiveness on constructing Express Lane to the Pangyo-Hannam section in Gyeongbu Expressway. The study analyzes effectiveness by scenario using the micro traffic simulation tool, VISSIM 5.4. For this, the indicators which evaluate construction effect of Express Lane, are used by average delay time, average speed and total travel time. The results of the study showed the best effectiveness when Express Lane installed one, and it represented an ideal traffic condition when long distance trip traffic of the whole traffic is 25% in the study section. Therefore, the construction of Express Lane using Bus Only Lane achieves positive effectiveness on safety and expense aspect as well as uncongested flow.

담양 및 화순 홍수조절지는 홍수 시 본류에 계획방류량만 흘러가도록 제수문을 운영하고, 계획방류량을 초과하는 홍수량은 하도 및 조절지 내에 저류하여 홍수를 지체시킨 후 저류된 홍수량은 첨두홍수가 지나간 이후 방류하는 방법으로 영산강 유역의 홍수를 방어하기 위해 '12년 건설되었다. 그러나 홍수조절지는 200년 빈도의 홍수량을 저감 시키도록 설계됨에 따라 준공 이후 10년간 '20년 8월 홍수 등 3회만 홍수방어용으로 활용되었다. 영산강은 오염부하량 대비 유출량 부족 등으로 수질관리에 취약하고 하천유지용수를 공급하는 다목적댐이 없는 등 수자원 확보가 어려우므로, 비홍수기 홍수조절지에 환경대응용수를 담수 및 방류하여 영산강의 유량확보 및 수질개선 등 활용 다변화 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이와 관련하여 '16년 및 '19년에 시범담수를 실시하였으나, 담수 수질 관리의 어려움, 방류 전후 강우 등 제한적 여건으로 인해 하류 유량증가 및 수질 개선 효과의 확인은 어려웠으며, 제방 물비침 등을 발견하여 시설 안정성 확보가 필요한 것으로 확인되었다. '21년 안정성 확보를 위한 보강 그라우팅을 시행했으며, '19년부터 '21년 2월까지 「홍수조절지를 활용한 영산강 수질개선 방안」연구용역을 실시하여, 비홍수기 활용방안을 수립하였다. '21년 4/4분기 댐과 보 등의 연계운영협의회에 '시범담수 계획' 안건 상정 및 의결을 거쳤고, '22년 3월 25~26일까지 담양 74mm, 화순 61mm 비가 내려 담양 63만m³, 화순 151만m³를 담수하고 18~19일간 저류 후 담양은 평균 3.0m³/초로 25시간 동안, 화순은 평균 5.0m³/초로 32시간 동안 하류로 방류하였다. 방류 후 담양·화순 모두 가까운 하류 수위국 수위 상승을 확인했으며, 화순의 경우 하류 수질에 일부 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 다만, 초기유출수 배제 등을 고려하지 않아 담수의 수질이 본류보다 좋지 않았으며, 이에 따라 수질 영향의 인과관계 확인이 어려웠다. 기존 연구용역에서 제시한 비홍수기 활용방안의 검증·보완을 위한 연구용역이 '22.5월부터 '23.12월까지 진행될 예정이며, 초기유출수 배제를 위한 조건 재수립, 수질 모니터링지점 확대 등 보완된 '시범담수 계획'을 '23.3월 댐과 보 등의 연계운영협의회에 보고하였다. 연말까지 연구용역과 연계한 시범담수·방류 시행 및 모니터링·효과분석을 통해 비홍수기 홍수조절지 최적운영방안을 마련할 계획이다.

Roundabouts are generally installed at which traffic and pedestrian volume is relatively small intersections, and hence traffic can flow one direction around a circular island without traffic lights. A number of researches for roundabout signal metering have been processing ways to deal with operation efficiency drops in conditions of unusual traffic and pedestrian volume increases. However, there is still a shortcoming exists in previous operation algorithm does not consider the hidden vehicles between yield lines and detectors and queueing vehicles in circular lanes. These queueing vehicles between them can be cleared by introducing the queue clearance time. The purpose of this research is developing a real time signal metering operation algorithm by considering the vehicle queue clearance time. The results of varying queue clearance time application show that there is a substantial average vehicle delay reduction in VISSIM Com-Interface simulation. When the total number of entering vehicle is 3,200~4,800 vehicle/hour with varying queue clearance time application 21~50 seconds gives average delay reduction per vehicle by 16.1~71.7%.

Roundabout is an intersection that allows vehicles to pass through the intersection by circulating the circular traffic island at the center of the intersection. In this study, a comparative analysis was conducted on roundabout at five locations in order to deduce the operational result and financial effect of roundabout and signal intersection. As for the operational result, it was found that roundabout showed improvement effect in the average delay per vehicle compared to that of signal intersection by minimum of 65.6% and maximum of 91.77%. it was found that roundabout showed financial cost-saving effect in the traffic congestion cost compared to that of signal operation by minimum of 58.59% and maximum of 81.69% per year. It can be known from these analysis results that roundabout has significant operational effects under certain amount of traffic volume by allowing vehicles to pass through the intersection in a continuous way without much waiting time and stoppage from signal control.

Since early 1990s, several developed countries have applied the Electronic Toll Collection System (ETCS) to toll roads in order to solve traffic congestion and delay problems at toll plazas. For the successful operation of the ETCS, it is important to correctly forecast the ETCS using rate. In this study, it was conceived to develop a sophisticated demand forecasting model of the ETCS for toll roads in Changwon City The Binary Logit and neural network models were tested for the model considering 11 explaining variables. The best results in prediction accuracy and goodness-of-fit were obtained on the neural network model. However, because of the difficulty in predicting the 11 variables and its fitness in wide range, the Binary Logit model which considers three policy variables only is recommended as the model to forecast the ETCS using rate.

고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC)에서 사용되는 연결재의 주 기능은 각 단위 셀의 연료극과 다음 셀의 공기극을 전기적으로 연결하여, 공기와 사용연료의 분리역할을 하기 위하여 사용된다. SOFC용 연결재는 다른 구성요소 소재보다, 높은 전자 전도성, 낮은 이온전도성, 우수한 기계 적강도가 요구되며, SOFC는 고온에서 작동되기 때문에, 상온에서 작동온도까지 다른 요소 소재들과 유사한 열팽창계수와 물리, 화학적으로 안정성이 요구된다. 현재 연결재 제조기술은 EVD, CVD, plasma spraying, tape casting 등 다양하게 연구되고 있으며, 본 연구는 세라믹 연결재 증착방법 중 저렴한 비용으로 대량 생산이 용이한 습식법(dip coaling)을 적용하여, 연료극 지지체식 flat-tube형 고체산화물 연료전지의 지지체를 위해 세라믹 연결재를 제조하고, 그 특성을 연구하였다. 세라믹 연결재로써 선정한 합성조성은 LaCr $O_3$에 Ca이 치환 고용된 L $a_{0.6}$C $a_{0.41}$Cr $O_3$으로 pechini법으로 합성하였다. 합성된 조성은 100$0^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 하소후 가속 Ball Milling하여 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$의 평균입자크기를 얻을 수 있었다. XRD 상분석결과 perovskite상 (L $a_{1-x}$ Ca/x/Cr $O_3$)과 CaCr $O_4$를 얻을 수 있었다. slurry를 제조하여 막의 밀착성을 증진시키기 위해 sand blasting시킨 flat tube지지체에 진공펌프를 이용하여 소재내부와 외부의 압력차로 dip coating한 후, 140$0^{\circ}C$로 소결 하였다. coating 결과 박리현상은 없었으나, 표면과 단면의 SEM분석결과 다소 porous한 박막층이 형성되었으며, Ca이온이 지지체로 permeation되는 현상이 발생하였다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 보다 치밀한 박막생성을 위해, slurry 제조조건을 변화시켰으며, Ca이온의 migration을 막기 위해 barrier layer를 이용하였다 완전 소결된 지지체는 가스투과도와 전기전도도측정을 통하여 특성을 평가하였다.였다.다.
