Numerous research has been conducted using internet search data since the mid-2000s. For example, Google Inc. developed a service predicting influenza patterns using the internet search data. The main objective of this study is to prove the hypothesis that highway traffic indices are similar to the internet search patterns. In order to achieve this objective, a model to predict the number of vehicles entering the expressway and space-mean speed was developed and the goodness-of-fit of the model was assessed. The results revealed several findings. First, it was shown that the Google search traffic was a good predictor for the TCS entering traffic volume model at sites with frequent commute trips, and it had a negative correlation with the TCS entering traffic volume. Second, the Naver search traffic was utilized for the TCS entering traffic volume model at sites with numerous recreational trips, and it was positively correlated with the TCS entering traffic volume. Third, it was uncovered that the VDS speed had a negative relationship with the search traffic on the time series diagram. Lastly, it was concluded that the transfer function noise time series model showed the better goodness-of-fit compared to the other time series model. It is expected that "Big Data" from the internet search data can be extensively applied in the transportation field if the sources of search traffic, time difference and aggregation units are explored in the follow-up studies.

Korea is currently an aging society with a population of about 15 percent over the age of 65. Accordingly, the government is currently working on a number of measures. However, the problem that is rapidly increasing rather than decreasing is the traffic accident of the elderly. It has increased so much that we can check it out in multiple media right away. An average of 110 elderly people die or are injured in traffic accidents a day, or about 40,000 a year. The National Police Agency reported a 25 percent increase in elderly traffic accidents from five years ago. This paper analyzes traffic accidents of senior citizens through the Big Data analysis and R programming language to present the main causes of traffic accidents of senior citizens and areas where measures are needed to prevent them.

As the convergence of traffic system and Big-data technology, new convenient services which is helpful for drivers and pedestrian are appeared. Recently, the various researches about the traffic system, such as prediction of traffic jam and finding the shortest path, are studied. In this paper, we collect the data of taxi trips in Daegu City, and visualize them on the map of Daegu City. And then, we select specific sections of roads in the city, and by using the data of location and speed about taxis and the information of the road sections, calculate the traffic of that section and the average speed of cars on that section. As a result of this, we give help solving the problem of the specific road sections.

The air traffic industry, one of Korea's major industries, has recently experienced increased demand from overseas air passengers, launched a low-cost airline, and increased special freight transportation capacity. These initiatives have had a positive impact on air traffic (for example, profitability); however, air traffic management has become more complex, which has increased the incidence of aviation accidents and created safety hazards. There is an increasing need to collect and analyze aviation data that can proactively respond to aviation accidents. Concatenation of collected aviation data as big data and the development of artificial intelligence technology are gradually expanding aviation safety event analysis from conventional statistical analysis to machine learning-based analysis. This paper surveys the trends of flight safety event analysis to derive aviation safety risk factors by looking at the types and characteristics of aviation data that can be used to predict accidents related to safety in aviation operations.

PURPOSES : This study was initiated to estimate expressway traffic congestion costs by using Vehicle Detection System (VDS) data. METHODS : The overall methodology for estimating expressway traffic congestion costs is based on the methodology used in a study conducted by a study team from the Korea Transport Institute (KOTI). However, this study uses VDS data, including conzone speeds and volumes, instead of the volume delay function for estimating travel times. RESULTS : The expressway traffic congestion costs estimated in this study are generally lower than those observed in KOTI's method. The expressway lines that ranked highest for traffic congestion costs are the Seoul Ring Expressway, Gyeongbu Expressway, and the Youngdong Expressway. Those lines account for 64.54% of the entire expressway traffic congestion costs. In addition, this study estimates the daily traffic congestion costs. The traffic congestion cost on Saturdays is the highest. CONCLUSIONS : This study can be thought of as a new trial to estimate expressway traffic congestion costs by using actual traffic data collected from an entire expressway system in order to overcome the limitations of associated studies. In the future, the methodology for estimating traffic congestion cost is expected to be improved by utilizing associated big-data gathered from other ITS facilities and car navigation systems.

The previous studies on analyzing the effects of traffic safety policies are very limited. Implementing traffic safety policies in view of their own urban traffic characteristics would be fairly desirable to handle properly the traffic safety problems. The relationships between traffic accidents and traffic safety policies have been researched by classifying the eighty one cities in Korea into four groups in terms of the size of the city population. Statistical analysis have been conducted for traffic accidents data and traffic safety policies, respectively. In order to mearsure the effectiveness of the traffic policies in the real world, regression models have been developed by handling the accident data and policy data. As a result of analysing the data, the traffic policies have showed different effects according to the size of the cities. While budget investment policies had provided enormous influences to reduce traffic accidents in the big cities more than a half million polulation, traffic enforcement and traffic education have been so efficient to control traffic accident problems in the smaller cities less than a half million poluation.

In big data era, there are a number of considerable parts in processing systems for capturing, storing, and analyzing stored or streaming data. Unlike traditional data handling systems, a big data processing system needs to concern the characteristics (format, velocity, and volume) of being handled data in the system. In this situation, virtualized computing platform is an emerging platform for handling big data effectively, since virtualization technology enables to manage computing resources dynamically and elastically with minimum efforts. In this paper, we analyze resource utilization of virtualized computing resources to discover suitable deployment models in Apache Hadoop and HBase-based big data processing environment. Consequently, Task Tracker service shows high CPU utilization and high Disk I/O overhead during MapReduce phases. Moreover, HRegion service indicates high network resource consumption for transfer the traffic data from DataNode to Task Tracker. DataNode shows high memory resource utilization and Disk I/O overhead for reading stored data.

Smart Factory is an intelligent factory that can enhance productivity, quality, customer satisfaction, etc. by applying information and communications technology to the entire production process including design & development, manufacture, and distribution & logistics. The precise amount of data generated in a smart factory varies depending on the factory's size and state of facilities. Regardless, it would be difficult to apply traditional production management systems to a smart factory environment, as it generates vast amounts of data. For this reason, the need for a distributed big-data processing system has risen, which can process a large amount of data. Therefore, this article has designed a Gluster File System (GlusterFS)-based distributed big-data processing system that can be used in a smart factory environment. Compared to existing distributed processing systems, the proposed distributed big-data processing system reduces the system load and the risk of data loss through the distribution and management of network traffic.
