This paper discusses the main findings of the development of the twin-hull Car ferry for island freight and passenger transport. The final model had a 19 m wide beam to create enough space for cars on the deck area and thus, enhance the economic feasibility in the market. The vessel had a V-shape with a bulbous bow to minimize the wave-making resistance and the hydrodynamic performance of the ship was verified through computational fluid dynamics. Multi-objective optimization problems of Pareto simulated annealing were used to achieve a weight reduction of approximately 3.9 % and reduce the manufacturing cost. The main results obtained in this study are expected to be useful to engineers and professionals in related industries interested in research on twin catamaran.

To reduce the traffic congestion and parking problems in urban areas tall and narrow vehicles have interested as a means to increase the utilization of existing freeways and parking facilities. The stability problem for those narrow vehicles which might be caused can be reduced by tilting the body toward the inside of the turn. The Direct Tilt Control(DTC) system and the Steering Tilt Control(STC) system have been proposed for those narrow vehicles. In this paper, as one of the performance improvement for that kind of vehicle a new control system to use the merits of both the DTC system and the STC system is proposed. Because two different control systems fight each other, the switching control scheme is applied as a means to prevent fighting. Also, the method in order to achieve the smoothly changed control system when the system is switched from the DTC to the STC or from the STC to the DTC, the appropriate type of control gain is designed.

A transit assignment model can forecast the behaviors of transit users. thereby playing an important role In the evaluation of transit policies. Most existing transit assignment models are based on the models for passenger cars; therefore they cannot reflect the specific characteristics of transit modes. In addition most of the existing models are based on a single transit mode (bus or rail), and they cannot forecast the behaviors of transit users in a changing mass transportation system. The goal of this study is to overcome these problems with the exiting models and to develop a more realistic model. The newly developed model is based on mixed transit modes and is a stochastic model that can reflect the different preferences of each transit user for travel time and transfering. Data gathered from the Seoul metropolitan area's smart card are used to calibrate this model. This study is expected to be used for the evaluation of transportation policies and to attribute the development of transit revitalization strategies.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the choice behavior of the mode of transportation for travel from Korea to China. Discrete choice analysis is utilized to establish the factors that affect travelers' choice and to quantify the importance of these factors in transportation mode choices. The proposed choice models were constructed by using stated-preference (SP) data obtained from Chungcheongnam-do. This study also examined different choice behavior in order to capture any previously unobserved differences in the residence area. Results showed that the access time and frequency attributes are the most significant factors, while the travel time attributes are the least significant factors for travelers' choice behaviour. The insights of the results described in this research provide some practical suggestions to transportation providers for planning and strategic management endeavors in the future.

It can be expected, recently, that the traffic congestion grows worse because the 48% of passenger cars are concentrated in the metropolitan area. However, there is an enforcement regulation that must limit onsite parking lot establishment in some downtown, so it is forecasted that parking lot supply is insufficient. Therefore, this study concentrate upon the subject that solves the problem which drivers are difficult to find parking lots because of increasing demand for parking. This study includes the concept about walking distance because the choice of parking lots is happened within walking distance. The algorithm of this study applies to toy-network, and then this study analyze the result of toy-network. It is proper to consider user's preference because the patterns of choice are different. Moreover, this study suggests the vision that will can offer drivers more correct information by real time information sharing in course of ubiquitous age.

In the coastal area, many kind of vessels are operating and exposed to the various marine accidents. In particular, small-size vessels, which are not equipped with the safety equipment, are in the defenceless state to the marine accidents such as the accident according to vessel's own state caused by the diverse reasons and the collision with the neighborhood vessels and objectives. So it is necessary to resolve these situations through the inexpensive equipment. This paper implements the function that can detect vessel's own motion using Smart Phone. if the motion is over the threshold value assigned, this function decides that the current situation is dangerous for this vessel. So this function informs Smart Phone's ower in the vessel and the control center of this situation. This function can be applied to small-size vessels, such as fishing boating, passenger ship, and leasure boat, which have few the safety equipments, and then improve vessel's safety navigation.

The full-scale experiments are carried out to investigate the fire suppression characteristics of water-based fire fighting systems in a road tunnel. Applied systems are the low-pressure water spray system at 3.5 bar and the high-pressure water mist system at 60 bar. The water flow rate of the high-pressure system is one sixth only of the water spray system. A passenger car and a heptane fuel pan with area of $1.4m^2$ are used as fire sources. A blower system is installed at the tunnel exit to realize the longitudinal ventilation conditions (0.9~3.8 m/s) in the tunnel. Temperatures from the fire source to the down-stream direction are measured by K-type thermocouple trees. The experimental results show that the cooling effect of the high pressure water mist system in the test conditions were equivalent to that of the low pressure water spray system for B-class fire.
