The sewer capacity design have been based on the Huff model or the rational equation in South Korea and often failed to determine optimal capacity, resulting in frequent urban flooding or over-sizing. A time distribution of rainfall (i.e., Huff or ABM method) could be used instead of a rainfall hyetograph obtained from statistical analysis of previous rainfalls. In this study, the Huff method and the ABM method, which predict the time distribution of rain intensity, which are widely used to calculate sewage pipe drainage capacity using the SWMM, were compared with the standard rainfall intensity hyetograph of Seoul. If the rainfall duration was 30 minutes to 180 minutes, the rainfall intensity value calculated by the Huff model tended to be less than the rainfall intensity value of the standard rainfall intensity in the initial 5-10 minutes. As a result, more than 10% to 30% of under-design would be made. In addition, the rainfall intensity value calculated by the Huff model from the section excluding the initial 5-10 minutes of rainfall to the rainfall duration was calculated larger than the value using the standard rainfall intensity equation, which would result in an over-design of 10% to 30%. In the case of a relatively long rainfall duration of 360 minutes (6 hours) to 1,440 minutes (24 hours), it showed an lower rainfall intensity of 60 to 90% in the early stages of rainfall, but the problem of under-design had been solved as the rainfall duration time had elapsed. On the other hand, in the alternating block method (ABM) method, it was found that the rainfall intensity at the entire period at each assumed rainfall duration accurately matched the standard rainfall intensity hyetograph of Seoul.

일반적으로 도시 우수 관망의 계획에 대부분 합리식 등을 이용하여 첨두유량만 검토하였기 때문에 설계 강우의 시간 분포 방법은 고려되지 않았다. 하지만 최근에는 집중 호우로 인한 침수 피해가 많이 발생함에 따라 하수도 시설물들의 연계를 통한 침수 해결이 요구되었고, 첨두 유출량뿐만 아니라 홍수 수문 곡선도 산정 할 수 있는 강우-유출 모형을 설계에 도입해야 할 필요성이 제기되었다. 그러나 현재까지 우수 관망 등 하수도 시설물에 대한 분석에 적합한 강우의 시간 분포 방법은 제시되지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 실무적으로 널리 이용되고 있는 Huff 4분위 방법과 중 소규모 배수 시설물의 계획에 합리적이라고 알려져 있는 ABM(alternating block method) 방법을 비교 검토하여 도시 우수 관망 해석에 적합한 강우의 시간 분포 방법을 제시하는 것에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 동해 기상 관측소의 관측 강우자료를 이용하여 강우-빈도 해석을 수행하였고, 다양한 유역 규모에 대한 적용을 위해 임의의 13개 유역을 대상으로 SWMM을 이용하여 홍수량을 분석하였다. 도시 유역의 우수 관망 계획에 적합한 확률 강우의 시간 분포 방법을 결정하기 위해 실제 강우 현상의 재현성, 소규모 배수 구역에 대한 첨두 홍수량 산정의 정확성, 우수 관망의 연속성을 고려한 계획의 3가지 관점에 대하여 검토하였다. 우선, 실제 강우 현상의 재현에 있어서 실제의 시간 최대 강우량의 발생분위가 대부분 강우의 지속기간 중 40~50% 사이에 위치하는 것을 감안할 때, ABM의 시간 분포 형태와 유사한 것으로 검토되었다. 두 번째 첨두 홍수량 산정의 정확성 면에서는 시간 단위 자료를 이용하여 유도되어 시간 단위 이하의 지속기간에 대한 확률 강우량 산정에 불확실성이 큰 Huff 방법보다는 ABM에 의한 시간분포 방법이 보다 적절한 것으로 분석되었다. 세 번째로 우수 관망의 연속성을 고려한 계획에서는 소규모 배수 구역 내에 존재하는 다수의 관거를 동시에 고려해야 하는 도시 우수 관망의 특성 상, 동일 지속기간의 확률 강우량에 대한 시간 분포를 적용하는 것이 합리적이다. 이에 배수 면적별로 임계 지속기간이 상이한 Huff 방법보다는 홍수량이 수렴하는 ABM의 24시간 시간 분포를 이용하는 것이 적용에 유리한 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 합리적인 도시 우수 관망 설계 기술을 구현하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to analyze online game user's game items transacting behaviors for the two game genres such as MMORPG and sports game. For the sake of conducting the analysis, we adopted a fuzzy logic agent-based modeling. In the online game fields, game items transactions are crucial to game company's profitability. However, there are lack of previous studies investigating the online game user's game items transacting activities. Since many factors need to be addressed in a complicated way, ABM (agent-based modeling) simulation mechanism is adopted. Besides, a fuzzy logic is also considered due to the fact that a number of uncertainties and ambiguities exist with respect to online game user's complex behaviors in transacting game items. Simulation results from applying the fuzzy logic ABM method revealed that MMORPG game users are motivated to pay expensive price for high-performance game items, while sports game users tend to transact game items within a reasonable price range. We could conclude that the proposed fuzzy logic ABM simulation mechanism proved to be very useful in organizing an effective strategy for online game items management and customers retention.

우리나라는 2000년대 이후, 하천 및 수공구조물 계획시 Huff 분포를 지배적으로 사용해 왔다. 그러나 Huff 방법은 호우선정, 평균방법, 지속기간별 동일분포 가정 등 여러 가지 문제를 가지고 있어 극치 호우사상을 적절히 모의하지 못하는 약점이 있다는 의견이 많았다. 본 연구에서는 하천, 수공구조의 계획시 국내에서 주로 사용해 왔던 강우량 시간분포 방법인 Huff 방법이 과연 하수도시설물 계획시 적정한가를 평가하고 중소규모 배수(排水)시설물 설계시 합리적이라고 알려져 있는 ABM 방법의 적용성을 비교, 평가하여 하수도시설물의 계획시 적정한 확률강우량의 시간분포 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 연구대상 지역은 삼척지역이며 기상청 산하 동해관측소 자료를 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 삼척지역의 지속기간별 확률강우량을 Huff 방법을 적용하여 시간분포하면 지속기간 2시간, 3시간 호우의 1시간 최대치의 경우 지속기간 1시간 최대치 보다 크게 산정된다. Huff 1분위의 경우 지속기간 1시간 호우는 55.3mm이나 지속기간 2시간, 3시간 호우의 1시간 최대치는 각각 61.8mm, 60.7mm 로 지속기간 1시간 호우보다 더 크게 평가되었다. 이러한 구간별 최다 강우량의 지속기간별 역전현상은 도달시간 1시간이내의 소유역이라 할지라도 지속기간 2, 3시간호우에서 첨두홍수량이 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 지속기간의 개념을 고려하여 빈도별 홍수시 ABM, Huff 방법의 적용성을 검토하였다. ABM 방법의 경우 적용 유역 면적(0.1~2,000ha) 전체에서 지속기간이 길어지면 첨두홍수량 결과가 수렵하는 것으로 검토되었다. 반면, Huff 방법의 경우 유역면적이 커짐에 따라 임계지속기간이 길어진다. 30년 빈도 홍수의 경우 유역면적 0.1~0.5ha 에서는 30분, 1~50ha 에서는 1시간, 80~300ha 에서는 2시간, 500~2,000ha 에서는 3시간이 임계지속기간인 것으로 분석되었다. 소규모 유역에서는 ABM과 Huff 방법의 홍수량 산정결과의 차이가 크지 않았으며 하수도시설물 계획시 적용성이 높은 강우량 시간분포 방법은 유역의 연속성을 고려할 수 있는 ABM 24시간 호우를 이용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this paper is to propose applying agent-based model(ABM) for analyzing logistics system. Logistics problems become more complex and multi-faceted. As a result, the behavior of the system becomes more and more difficult to predict, we see the limitations of the traditional top-down approach in handling complexity. The ABM, that is the bottom-up approach, provides new modeling framework in system modeling. The ABM focuses on the interactions of subsystem or agents in whole system. Then the macroscopic picture of the whole system behavior is emerged as the microscopic interactions of agents are aggregated. The ABM assumes that each agent acts based on simple rules learned from dynamic interactions among other agents or its surrounding environment. The ABM has a great advantage in understanding emergent phenomenon that cannot be explained only through considering individual attributes. The ABM is an extremely useful method to analyze complex system such as logistics system. Therefore, the great research efforts and applications on the ABM to logistics system are encouraged in future.

Human joint motion can be kinematically described in three planes, typically the frontal, sagittal, and transverse, and related to experimentally measured data. The selection of reference systems is a prerequisite for accurate kinematic analysis and resulting development of the equations of motion. Moreover, the development of analysis techniques for the minimization of errors, due to skin movement or body deformation, during experiments involving human locomotion is a critically important step, without which accurate results in this type of experiment are an impossibility. The traditional kinematic analysis method is the Angular-based method (ABM), which utilizes the Euler angle or the Bryant angle. However, this analysis method tends to increase cumulative errors due to skin movement. Therefore, the objective of this study was to propose a new kinematic analysis method, Position-based method (PBM), which directly applies position displacement data to represent locomotion. The PBM presented here was designed to minimize cumulative errors via considerations of angle changes and translational motion between markers occurring due to skin movements. In order to verify the efficacy and accuracy of the developed PBM, the mean value of joint dislocation at the knee during one gait cycle and the pattern of three dimensional translation motion of the tibiofemoral joint at the knee, in both flexion and extension, were accessed via ABM and via new method, PBM, with a Local Reference system (LRS) and Segmental Reference system (SRS), and then the data were compared between the two techniques. Our results indicate that the proposed PBM resulted in improved accuracy in terms of motion analysis, as compared to ABM, with the LRS and SRS.

In order to mitigate the damage caused by accidents in nuclear power plants (NPPs), evacuation strategies are usually managed on the basis of off-site effects such as the diffusion of radioactive materials and evacuee traffic simulations. However, the interactive behavior between evacuees and the accident environment has a significant effect on the consequential gap. Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a method that can control and observe such interactions by establishing agents (i.e., the evacuees) and patches (i.e., the accident environments). In this paper, a radiological emergency evacuation model is constructed to realistically check the effectiveness of an evacuation strategy using NetLogo, an ABM toolbox. Geographic layers such as radiation sources, roads, buildings, and shelters were downloaded from an official geographic information system (GIS) of Korea, and were modified into respective patches. The dispersion model adopted from the puff equation was also modified to fit the patches on the geographic layer. The evacuees were defined as vehicle agents and a traffic model was implemented by combining the shortest path search (determined by an A ^* algorithm) and a traffic flow model incorporated in the Nagel-Schreckenberg cellular automata model. To evaluate the radiological harm to the evacuees due to the spread of radioactive materials, a simple exposure model was established to calculate the overlap fraction between the agents and the dispersion patches. This paper aims to demonstrate that the potential of ABM can handle disaster evacuation strategies more realistically than previous approaches.

Autonomous driving technology is shaping the future of personalized travel, encouraging personalized travel, and traffic impact could be influenced by individualized travel behavior during the transition of driving entity from human to machine. In order to evaluate traffic impact, it is necessary to estimate the total number of trips based on an understanding of individual travel characteristics. The Activity-based model(ABM), which allows for the reflection of individual travel characteristics, deals with all travel sequences of an individual. Understanding the relationship between travel and travel must be important for assessing traffic impact using ABM. However, the ABM has a limitation in the data hunger model. It is difficult to adjust in the actual demand forecasting. Therefore, we utilized a Tour-based model that can explain the relationship between travels based on household travel survey data instead. After that, vehicle registration and population data were used for correction. The result showed that, compared to the KTDB one, the traffic generation exhibited a 13% increase in total trips and approximately 9% reduction in working trips, valid within an acceptable margin of error. As a result, it can be used as a generation correction method based on Tour, which can reflect individual travel characteristics, prior to building an activity-based model to predict demand due to the introduction of autonomous vehicles in terms of road operation, which is the ultimate goal of this study.

In this paper, a novel approach to using Subcircuit of Pspice in designing feedback for DC-DC converter systems is proposed. Proposed new approach, the feedback design procedures which are based on small signal modeling are programmed as a subcircuit in Pspice. For this purpose, Analog Behavioral Modeling (ABM) is used. By using the subcircuit, the component values of the error compensation amplifier can be easily obtained by means of Pspice DC analysis. The methodology of development is presented in detail and application examples demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach in designing feedbacks for DC-DC converters. The converter with PWM method used continuous current mode and calculated buck converter control signal with average and linear current technique. To decide pole and zero K-method was adapted and this kind of design procedure took stable function.
