신호화된 교차로의 운영비율을 측정하기 위해 현재 세계적으로 광범위하게 이용되 는 척도는 교차로 통과차량의 평균지체시간이다. 그간 교차로 분석을 위해 많은 대기행렬 모형이 발표되어 왔고 또 그중 일부가 현재 사용 중에 있는데 이들은 모두 steady-state를 가정한 해법이다. 그러나 steady-state 모형은 시간에 따른 대기행렬 길이의 변화를 고려하 지 못하므로 현실적인 분석에 한계가 있는 방법론이다. 그러므로 정당한 교차로 시간산출을 위해서는 time-dependent한 분석형의 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 discrete Markov chain을 이용하여 단순히 단위시간 동안의 도착율과 출발율로써 transition probabilities를 계산하는 새로운 대기행렬 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 불연속 대기행렬 모형을 이용하여 교 차로 분석을 할 경우 기존의 교차로 지체모형과 비교하여 기대되는 개선효과는 다음과 같 다. 변화를 고려한 dynamic한 분석으로 현실적이고 정당한 예측을 할 수 있다. 신호자동에 의한 영향을 분석할 수 있다. 그리고 독립적교차로 뿐만 아니라 간선도로, 나아가서 network 분석을 할 수 있으며, 동시에 주어지 교통여건에 대해 신호자동화를 위한 최적값을 산출해 낸다.

This study deals with the operational effectiveness of roundabout. The roundabout is currently under consideration in our country depending on the result of existing researches, that the roundabout decreases delay and is environmentally friendly compared to the signalized intersection. The purpose of the study is to analyze the operational effectiveness of the roundabout by the change of pedestrian traffic volume. In pursing the above, this study gave particular emphasis to designing a network of roundabout, developing some scenarios for analysis including both entering traffic volume and pedestrians volume, and comparatively analyzing the average controlled delay time per vehicle. In this study, VISSIM model was used as a tool for traffic simulation. The main results are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing a traffic delay based on the pedestrian traffic volume, pedestrian traffic volume was analyzed to have a great impact on the roundabout operation. Second, the more pedestrian traffic volume were evaluated to indicate the more traffic delay. When the entering volumes with 1,000persons/hour (pedestrian volume) were more than 800pcph in the single-lane and 1,600pcph in the double-lane roundabout, the operational efficiencies of signalized intersections were evaluated to be better than those of roundabouts.

The user cost is an important analysis item which should be considered together with life-cycle of facility, administrator cost and discount rate in LCCA for efficient asset management of SOC facilities. Especially, a significant delay cost occurs often for users in the road field due to a work zone for cleaning and maintenance, and in such case, the administrator should consider the administrator cost as well as the user cost for more rational decision making. However, the user cost has not been considered in most decision making steps until recently and relevant studies also have not been carried out actively. In this study, the methodology to estimate the user cost and delay cost required in the decision making step using the traffic flow model and the direct benefit estimation model in the traffic facility investment evaluation guideline is suggested. And, the traffic flow model was estimated on 4 national highway sections where maintenance was actually carried out in 2014 using VISSIM and, the user cost and the delay cost were estimated based on the suggested methodology. The analysis result showed that the average user cost of $17,569,000KRW/km{\times}day$ occurred on Section A with approximately 30,000 AADT before a work zone occurred, and in case the first lane was blocked for maintenance, the delay cost of $10,193,000KRW/km{\times}day$ (158%) on average occurred additionally. The delay cost of $1,507,000KRW/km{\times}day$ (115%) and $1,985,000KRW/km{\times}day$ (119%) occurred on Sections B and D with approximately 20,000 AADT respectively and the delay cost of $262,000KRW/km{\times}day$ (105%) occurred on Section C with approximately 10,000 AADT. This result of this study was estimated based on the simulation of traffic flow model so that there is a limitation in its actual application. A study ot develop a highly appropriate model using actual observation data and improve the possibility to apply it through the verification using the simulation will be necessary in future.

This research was performed to investigate the effects of participation in aqua exercise on blood composition and vascular compliance of mentally retarded persons. The targets of this research consisted of a control group of 12 people and an aqua exercise group of 12 people after selecting 24 mentally retarded males and aqua exercise group carried out an exercise program for 60 minutes per day and five days a week for 9 weeks. Weight, body fat percentage, blood composition and vascular compliance were measured in a preliminary inspection and the same items were measured in a post-inspection. The results of this measurement were as follows. Firstly, aqua exercise group showed a significant decrease in weight and body fat percentage (p<.05). Secondly, for blood composition, aqua exercise group showed a notable decrease in Total-Cholesterol, Triglyceride, and LDL-Cholesterol (p<.05) and a significant increase in HDL-Cholesterol (p<.05). Thirdly, aqua exercise group showed a notable increase in blood composition for both upper limbs and lower limbs (p<.05). Taken these results together, it was considered that a participation of mentally retarded persons in aqua exercise would prevent adult diseases and would have an affirmative influence on improvement of the quality of life.

To solve the urban traffic congestion problem, Seoul and other major cities have operated the reversible lanes as Transportation Systems Manage-ment(TSM) method since 1981. However, few studies have been conducted to measure the effectiveness of reversible lane implementation and operation, and the reversible lanes have been implemented based on the experiential warrants rather than the study-based warrants. In this Paper the effect of reversible lanes operation has been analyzed by using the average delay and the fuel consumption. Four factors such as in and out flow of directional v/c, the ratio of directional volume, the number of reversible lanes and left-turn treatment(prohibition of LTs or protected LTs) were used to estimate the implementation effect of reversible lane operation by using TRANSYT-7F simulation package. In the case of six-lane urban arterial, the lower ratio of directional volume was found to warrant the reversible lanes when the simulation-based method was applied compared with the current experiential warrants.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the drinking behaviors of adult mentally retarded persons(N=140) over the age of 18. It was also investigated whether gender, age, and pattern of employment create different result of drinking behaviors, whether there is correlation between variables associated with drinking behaviors for mentally retarded persons. 58.2 percent of respondent reported that they had consumed alcohol beverages sometimes prior to their having been interviewed. Average age of respondents who had consumed alcohol was 26.357 years and average age of first-use of alcohol was 22 years. 39.2 percent of respondent reported that they drink alcohol once a month. Beer(54.2 percent) was the most frequently consumed alcohol beverages. Average alcohol consumption per occasion was 1.494 cup, and 10.9 percent of respondent answered more than 5 cups per occasion. Regarding problems associated with drinking, 16 percent of respondent of AUDIT and 51.4 percent of Family CAGE answered that their children have drinking-related problems. Men(64.2 percent) drink more than women(43.6 percent) and experience more alcohol problem. Regarding drinking behaviors associated with the pattern of employment, supervised employment group(78.6 percent) was known as the most prevalent group of experiencing drinking. For the amount of drinking, gender(p<.05) and pattern of employment(p<.05) had shown the significant differences. There were significant positive correlation between the frequency of drinking and the amount of drinking, and AUDIT and Family CAGE.

A two-way left-turn lane is a continuous center left-turn lane that could be used as a deceleration and refuge area for both directions of left-turning vehicles. TWLTL's have been used effectively for access management treatment when applied to a highway that has wide-spread left turning traffic demand and a high-density of side streets. In this study, an effective analysis was carried out using a computer-based simulation tool, VISSIM, in order to evaluate performance and safety effects of TWLTLs and develop a warrant. In conclusion, the results indicated that there was a remarkable decrease of through and left-turning vehicle travel time delay on the main road and improvement of traffic safety.

When a slow-moving vehicle occupies one of the lanes of a multi-lane highway, it often causes queuing behind, unlike one is caused by an actual stoppage on that lane. This happens when the traffic flow rate upstream from the slow vehicle exceeds a certain critical value. This phenomena is called as the Moving Bottleneck, defined by Gazis and Herman (1992), Newell (1998) [3], and Munoz and Daganzo (2002), who conducted the flow estimates of upstream and downstream and considered slow-moving vehicle speed and the flow ratio exceeding slow vehicle and the microscopic traffic flow characteristics of moving bottleneck. But, a study of delay on moving bottleneck was not conducted until now. So this study provides a average delay time model related to upstream flow and the speed of slow vehicle. We have chosen the two-lane highway and homogeneous traffic flow. A slow-moving vehicle occupies one of the two lanes. Average delay time value is a result of AIMSUN[9], the microscopic traffic flow simulator. We developed a multiple regression model based on that value. Average delay time has a high value when the speed of slow vehicle is decreased and traffic flow is increased. Conclusively, the model is formulated by the negative exponential function.
