Heavy truck traffic causes serious damage to not only environment condition due to the emissions but also pavement condition. In Incheon city area, the highways of the port hinterland suffer from similar problems. Therefore, it is required to develop a policy to solve those problems, which should be under the collective agreement of the truck drivers, local residents, and policy makers. This paper compared the truck traffic volumes and re-pavement construction history for last 4 years and showed the real effect of the heavy truck traffic on the pavement. Furthermore, this study examined the pros and cons of the exclusive truck lane and truck only highway policies and conducted a survey of truck drivers, local residents, and policy makers. Each group showed different preferences for the policies particularly for the question asking the best implementable policy.

This study analyzed the changes in the operational productivity of fourteen Korean container lines from 2019 to 2021 using MP I(Malmquist Productivity Index). The results indicated that the operational productivity of the shipping companies has increased by 38.4% annually, representing the TCI (Technical Change Index) increasing by 58.3% and the TECI (Technical Efficiency Change Index) decreasing by 12.6%. The increase in the operational productivity of the container shipping lines was mainly attributed to the high rise in ocean freight rates rather than an increase in fleet size or ship technical efficiency. However, the deep-sea shipping lines (i.e. HMM and SM lines) experienced increases in both the TCI and TECI, which was not the case for other shipping lines(i.e. Intra-Asian short-sea shipping lines). The intra-Asian short-sea shipping lines enhance their productivity due to the TCI but failed to appreciate the cost savings of the increased fleet effects due to the low SECI(Scale Efficiency Change Index) values.

Recently, the traffic volume has been greatly increased partly because of high growth rate of domestic and world economy, and partly because of increased transhipment demand resulting from the destruction of Kobe port by earthqwake early this year. So, container facilities in Pusan Port are under serious congestion. The congestion costs in connection with container traffic in Pusan Port is estimated to be 29.3 billion won in 1994. In 1995 the situation is still worsening. PECT has continued to grow annually by 35% in cargo handling exceeding more than 31% of the total container volumes handled in Korea. The BOR of container berths in PECT in 1994 is 75% reflecting extreme congestion in container traffic. The reason for such serious congestion in PECT is the shortage of container handling facilities in comparison with ever-increasing cargo traffic. In order to solve the provisional problem, the shortage of handling capacity, a model developed to optimize the operation of PECT is described and demonstrated. The model minimizes total port costs, including the costs of dock labour, facilities and equipment, ship, containers, and cargo. The object of this study is, through the model results, mainly to determine the optimal combination of berths and cranes under various circumstances and to show that total costs per ship or unit of cargo served can be reduced by increasing the number of cranes per berth and berth utilization above present levels. Eventually, the results obtained with this model in PECT suggest that increase to 3 in the number of cranes per existing berth could reduce the need for major investments in berths and even reduce operating costs.

연안표사는 해안의 정선이 후퇴해 침식이 심각해지는 한편, 항만·어항에서는 토사가 퇴적되어 선박이나 어선의 항로나 정박지 매몰로 선박의 항행 및 어업 활동에 지장을 초래하며 하천 하구부에서는 하구 폐쇄로 치수상의 문제점 등이 발생한다. 항만과 어항 관리자는 항로나 정박지의 매몰 대책에 대한 검토와 해안 관리자는 해안 보전 대책에 초점을 맞춰 제각기 목적을 위한 대책 검토를 수행하고 있다. 이처럼 매년 적지 않은 비용이 소요됨에도 불구하고 뚜렷하고 효과적인 대책 없이 연안에 인위적인 변화를 발생시켜 어디에선 모래가 퇴적되고 그 영향에 따라 또 다른 곳에서는 침식되는 악순환이 반복되고 있다. 연안침식 방지를 위한 대책을 구축하기 위해서는 어느 한 곳에 중점적인 대책이 아닌 표사계 전체의 관점에서 상호 간의 간섭 효과를 고려한 통합적인 관점으로부터 대책을 강구해야 할 것이다. 연안지역에서의 표사수지는 산지, 댐, 하천, 해안 등 각각의 영역으로부터 유입 및 유출에 따라 안정된 해안이 조성된다. 하지만 환경적 및 인위적 변화에 따라 안정된 표사수지는 파괴되며 이 영향에 따라 표사의 이동이 발생한다. 지금까지의 토사관리는 각각의 영역에서 재해저감 및 토사관리를 위한 여러 대책의 효과가 나타나고 있으나 통합적인 토사관리에 있어 상호간의 피드백이 단절되어 연안역에서 발생하는 침식에 대한 정확한 원인 규명에 많은 어려움과 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이처럼 통합적인 연안침식 관리를 위해서는 연안역으로 유입되는 토사의 이동 메커니즘 규명이 매우 중요하며 이를 바탕으로 정확한 유사량 산정을 통해 적절한 대책을 마련할 수 있다. 또한, 지역적 특징이 강한 우리나라에서는 통합적인 연안관리를 위한 구체적인 방안 검토가 이루어지고 있지 않지만, 일본에서는 지속적인 관측과 모니터링 조사를 통해 체계적인 관리를 수행하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일본에서 진행 중인 통합적인 토사관리 가이드라인에 따른 토사관리의 구체적인 방법과 그에 따른 정선변화 및 표수사지 체계를 산정하였다.

Among the path planning methods used to generate the ship's path, the graph search-based method is widely used because it has the advantage of its completeness, optimality. In order to apply the graph-based search method to the berthing path plan, the deviation from the path must be minimized. Path following suitability should be considered essential, since path deviation during berthing can lead to collisions with berthing facilities. However, existing studies of graph search-based berthing path planning are dangerous for application to real-world navigation environments because they produce results with a course change just before berthing. Therefore, in this paper, we develop a cost function suitable for path following, and propose a 3D A* algorithm that applies it. In addition, in order to evaluate the suitability for the actual operating environment, the results of the path generation of the algorithm are compared with the trajectory of the data collected by manned operations.

The domestic automobile industry is growing due to favourable government policies and changing technological innovations. As the automobile industry becomes more active, the role of dedicated docks facilitating automobile exports is also becoming prominent which can be identified as a sector still requiring comprehensive research. Accordingly, a case analysis of domestic automobile port productivity was conducted using empirical data collected from Korean automobile ports to compare and analyze their productivity and to present implications based on the findings. In the case of productivity analysis, facility, labor, working time, and cost productivity were calculated from (the beginning of) 2021 to the second quarter of 2022. The results of the analysis revealed the port D to achieve the highest productivity during the study period, followed by the ports B, C, and A, respectively. Based on the current situation of each automobile dock revealed through the results, strategies for future development is derived.

This study is an empirical result for building an onboard communication network using metal surface wave communication and is a consideration of its application within the ship. Over the past three years, the applicability and the performance of metal surface wave communication has been confirmed by testing on five small and medium ships. In the tests, IEEE 802.11 protocol of Wi-Fi was used, and the signals were generated in the form of surface waves. Data was sent from AP to AP in the point-to-point form, and the transmission speed was measured at the same time. If necessary, additional repeaters were used to extend the transmission distance. As derived a transmission speed of 5 to 100 Mbps in wireless communication restricted areas of the 5 ships, it is believed that it is possible to reduce the weight of ships and costs by eliminating the communication cables by using surface wave communication as the back-bone network on ships.
