  • Traffic congestion has become a serious problem with the recent exponential increase in the number of vehicles. In urban areas, almost all traffic congestion occurs at intersections. One of the ways to solve this problem is road expansion, but it is difficult to realize in urban areas because of the high cost and long construction period. In such cases, traffic signal control is a reasonable method for reducing traffic jams. In an actual situation, the traffic flow changes randomly and its randomness makes the control of traffic signals difficult. A prediction of traffic jams is, therefore, necessary and effective for reducing traffic jams. In addition, an autonomous distributed (stand-alone) point control of each traffic light individually is better than the wide and/or line control of traffic lights from the perspective of real-time control. This paper describes a stochastic optimum control of crossroads and multi-way traffic signals. First, a stochastic model of traffic flows and traffic jams is constructed by using a Bayesian network. Secondly, the probabilistic distributions of the traffic flows are estimated by using a cellular automaton, and then the probabilistic distributions of traffic jams are predicted. Thirdly, optimum traffic signals of crossroads and multi-way intersection are searched by using a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm to realize real-time traffic control. Finally, simulations are carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the real-time stochastic optimum control of traffic signals.

  • The paper focuses on the integration of a non-linear one-dimensional model of Synthetic Jet (SJ) actuator in a well-assessed numerical simulation method for turbulent compressible flows. The computational approach is intended to the implementation of a numerical tool suited for flow control simulations with affordable CPU resources. A strong compromise is sought between the use of boundary conditions or zero-dimensional models and the full simulation of the actuator cavity, in view of long-term simulation with multiple synthetic jet actuators. The model is integrated in a multi-domain numerical procedure where the controlled flow field is simulated by a standard CFD method for compressible RANS equations, while flow inside the actuator is reduced to a one-dimensional duct flow with a moving piston. The non-linear matching between the two systems, which ensures conservation of the mass, momentum and energy is explained. The numerical method is successfully tested against three typical test cases: the jet in quiescent air, the SJ in cross flow and the flow control on the NACA0015 airfoil.

  • In this paper, we wish to construct a optimal traffic cycle using wire remote control. if police vehicle or ambulance suddenly enter the traffic Intersection, it will increase the traffic accident. In this paper, wireless traffic light use the radio traffic control signal and research about the hardware manufacture to check special detectors on urgency vehicles may safety and rapidly enter traffic intersection. Also, this paper present a traffic signal control conditions that analyzes different traffic intersection flows in cases of saturated flows, where the real traffic volume demand is large and the capacity constraints of bottlenecks have significant effects on the flow patterns. Through computer simulation this wireless traffic light has been proven to be much more safety and efficient than fixed traffic signal light which does not consider emergency vehicles for safety escort.

  • This study is selected two points of combined sewer that occurred Fish Kill after first flush, that analyzed generation of pollutants and stream runoff generation of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) as fine weather and rainfall. In addition, this study was to analyze the relationship between CSOs and sediments, to propose measures to reduce the sediment relevant with CSOs and rainfall runoff from entering sewage treatment plants and measures for discharged directly into streams when indicate relatively good water quality after overflow. Sediments in combined sewer system was discharged about 50~80% as overflows during rainfall and we can reduce the amount of the CSOs at least 50% or more if the sewer does not exist in the sediments because of the amount of discharge about the amount of intercept has been investigated by 3~5 times. Because of velocity at sediment interval in sewer is very low, sewage velocity of about 3~5 times as much as it can increase the amount of sediment can be reduced if the separation wall is installed. Effective control of BOD overflow load is respectively 77.5%, 75.8% at first point, second point by the separation wall is installed. Drainage area greater than area in this study or many combined sewer overflows region is increased the more effective control of separation wall. Turbidity to measure changes in water quality of overflows can be used as an factor to control the intercept flows because the intercept flows(3Q) after the first flush has lowered removal efficiency and increases the operational load of sewage treatment plants. Sewage water quality after a overflow when the reasonable turbidity was measured at this point flows to excluded intercept flow(1Q) can be discharged to stream.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라를 대상으로 국제 자본이동과 주요 통화대비 원화 환율 간의 동태적 관계를 분석하고 있다. 우선 그랜저 인과관계 검정 결과에 의하면 국제 자본이동은 단기적으로 주요 통화대비 원화 환율의 변동성에 Granger-cause하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 시간이 흐를수록 환율의 변동성이 국제 자본이동에 Granger-cause하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 글로벌 금융위기를 기준으로 전과 후를 구분하여 분석한 결과에 의하면 글로벌 금융위기 전에는 국제 자본이동이 원/달러 환율의 변동성에만 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만, 글로벌 금융위기 이후의 기간에서는 환율의 변동성이 오히려 국제 자본이동에 Granger-cause하는 것으로 나타났다. VAR모형을 바탕으로 일반화된 충격반응함수의 그래프를 살펴보면 국제 자본이동과 환율 변동성은 금융위기를 기준으로 다른 양상을 보이고 있다. 글로벌 금융위기가 발생한 후에는 환율의 변동성이 국제 자본이동을 촉진하지만 시간이 흐르면서 그 영향력이 축소되는 반면 이전 기간에는 이러한 관계가 성립하지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 실증분석 결과를 종합해보면 우리나라에서는 외환시장의 불확실성이 국제 자본이동에 중요하게 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 국제 자본이동에 대한 직접적인 규제보다는 외환시장의 불확실성을 적절하게 통제하는 것이 더 효과적인 정책수단이 될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 현행 교통 신호 제어기는 사전에 계획된 신호 시간 체계 또는 시간대별로 선택되는 방법을 취하고 있다. 이와 같은 신호 체계는 교통 상황 변화에 적절하게 대응하기 어려운 문제점을 갖고 있다. 특히, 혼잡 상황과 같은 문제들은 이진 논리로써 해결하기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 교통 혼잡 상황에 신속하게 대처할 수 있는 신호기 제어 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 제어기는 불확실성 및 퍼지환경에서 작동한다. 따라서, 도로의 혼잡 상황을 퍼지 논리를 사용하여 표현하고 퍼지 추론기에 의해 신호 시간을 결정하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 신호기 제어 시스템의 타당성을 검증하고자 페트리네트를 이용하여 모델링 하였다.

  • The important problems that arise in the design and performance of the axial flow turbine are the prediction and control of secondary flows. Some progresses have been made on understanding flow conditions that occur when the inlet endwall boundary layer separates at the point in the endwall and rolls up into the horseshoe vortex. And the flows though an axial turbine tend to be extremely complex due to its inherent unsteady and viscous phenomena. The passing wakes generated from the trailing edge of the stator make an interaction with the rotor. Unsteady flow should be considered rotor/stator interactions. The main purpose of this research is control of secondary flow and improvement efficiency in turbine by leading edge modification in unsteady state. When the wake from the stator ran into the modified leading edge of the rotor, the leading edge generated the weak pressure fluctuation by complex passage flows. In conclusion, leading edge modification(bulb2) results in the reduced total pressure loss in the flow field.
