The walkway level of service (LOS) is conceptualized using pedestrian flow rate, speed, and density according to the Korean Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM). However, as it is based on the data of commuters at peak hours, it needs to be reevaluated considering various trip purposes and a pleasant pedestrian environment. Thus, the authors aimed to investigate and analyze the characteristics of each group: pedestrians during the peak hour and those during the non-peak hour. Then they were verified statistically for the walkway evaluation criteria. In this study, the authors investigated pedestrian speed and flow in a complex transit center walkway with diverse trip purposes by peak and non-peak hour. Then the authors statistically verified the differences between the groups. A model was built for estimating pedestrian density by speed and flow; it was used to calculate the walkway capacity (67.3p/m/m) corresponding to LOS E. The authors established new criteria for LOS, applying the LOS from the HCM. These standards can then be used as the design standards for pedestrian walkways.

The Highway Capacity Manual specifies procedures for evaluating intersection performance in terms of delay per vehicle. What is lacking in the current methodology is a comparable quantitative procedure for ass~ssing the safety-based level of service provided to motorists. The objective of the research described herein was to develop a computational procedure for evaluating the safety-based level of service of signalized intersections based on the relative hazard of alternative intersection designs and signal timing plans. Conflict opportunity models were developed for those crossing, diverging, and stopping maneuvers which are associated with left-turn and rear-end accidents. Safety¬based level-of-service criteria were then developed based on the distribution of conflict opportunities computed from the developed models. A case study evaluation of the level of service analysis methodology revealed that the developed safety-based criteria were not as sensitive to changes in prevailing traffic, roadway, and signal timing conditions as the traditional delay-based measure. However, the methodology did permit a quantitative assessment of the trade-off between delay reduction and safety improvement. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) specifies procedures for evaluating intersection performance in terms of a wide variety of prevailing conditions such as traffic composition, intersection geometry, traffic volumes, and signal timing (1). At the present time, however, performance is only measured in terms of delay per vehicle. This is a parameter which is widely accepted as a meaningful and useful indicator of the efficiency with which an intersection is serving traffic needs. What is lacking in the current methodology is a comparable quantitative procedure for assessing the safety-based level of service provided to motorists. For example, it is well¬known that the change from permissive to protected left-turn phasing can reduce left-turn accident frequency. However, the HCM only permits a quantitative assessment of the impact of this alternative phasing arrangement on vehicle delay. It is left to the engineer or planner to subjectively judge the level of safety benefits, and to evaluate the trade-off between the efficiency and safety consequences of the alternative phasing plans. Numerous examples of other geometric design and signal timing improvements could also be given. At present, the principal methods available to the practitioner for evaluating the relative safety at signalized intersections are: a) the application of engineering judgement, b) accident analyses, and c) traffic conflicts analysis. Reliance on engineering judgement has obvious limitations, especially when placed in the context of the elaborate HCM procedures for calculating delay. Accident analyses generally require some type of before-after comparison, either for the case study intersection or for a large set of similar intersections. In e.ither situation, there are problems associated with compensating for regression-to-the-mean phenomena (2), as well as obtaining an adequate sample size. Research has also pointed to potential bias caused by the way in which exposure to accidents is measured (3, 4). Because of the problems associated with traditional accident analyses, some have promoted the use of tqe traffic conflicts technique (5). However, this procedure also has shortcomings in that it.requires extensive field data collection and trained observers to identify the different types of conflicts occurring in the field. The objective of the research described herein was to develop a computational procedure for evaluating the safety-based level of service of signalized intersections that would be compatible and consistent with that presently found in the HCM for evaluating efficiency-based level of service as measured by delay per vehicle (6). The intent was not to develop a new set of accident prediction models, but to design a methodology to quantitatively predict the relative hazard of alternative intersection designs and signal timing plans.

본 논문에서는 시계열 예측 공정의 모델링을 위해 Type-2 퍼지 논리 집합을 이용하여 불확실성 문제를 다룬다. 기존의 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템(Fuzzy Logic System, FLS)은 외부의 노이즈와 같은 불확실성에 민감한 단점이 있다. 그러나 Type 퍼지 논기 시스템은 불확실한 정보까지 멤버쉽 함수로 표현함으로서 효과적으로 취급할 수 있다. 여기서 불확실한 정보를 표현하기 위해 규칙의 전 후반부 멤버쉽 함수로 삼각형 형태의 Type-2 퍼지 집합을 사용한다. 전반부의 경우 HCM 클러스터링을 사용하여 입력 데이터들 간의 거리를 중심으로 멤버쉽 함수를 정의하고, 후반부는 입자 군집 최적화(Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘으로 멤버쉽 함수의 정점을 동조한다. 제안된 모델은 표준 모델 평가에 주로 사용되는 가스로 시계열 데이터를 적용하고, 특정 데이터로 노이즈에 영향 받은 데이터를 사용하여 수치 석인 예를 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of the socio-demographic characteristics, self-recognition factors, and health behavior factors of Korean adolescents on suicide dimension, and grasp the effects of suicide thinking of adolescents on attempting suicide. This study used the eighth primitive data of the "Web-based Survey on Adolescents Health Behavior(2012)", and targeted 72,228 actual test respondent(93.8%). In conclusion, risk factors that greatly influence the suicide dimension of adolescents can be summarized into level of happiness, level of stress, depression, experience drinking, experience smoking, experience with drugs, suicide thinking, etc. and considering these risk factors, a preparation for preventing adolescents' suicide should be established, and along with a regular education, developing and expanding a treatment program for preventing recurrence afterwards of adolescents who have experience attempting suicide are necessary.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of provider and consumer characteristics, and patient trust on relational commitment among healthcare customers of an university hospital, and to suggest some implications for improving customer relation management of hospitals. Data were collected from 250 patients of an university hospital located in Ulsan using structured self-administered questionnaire. Major result of the analysis is as follows: First, study variables are significantly varied by age and income among socio-economic factors. Second, assurance, and empathy among provider characteristics and customer satisfaction and reputation among consumer characteristics are found to be significant affecting factors on patient trust. Third, trust affects significantly both on re-visit and recommendation among relationship commitment, while reputation affects on re-visit and customer satisfaction and reputation affect on recommendation. Above results imply that relationship management strategy for enhancing patient trust is crucial to improve competitiveness of hospitals in turbulent competition environment.

교차로 지체를 추정하기 위해서는 대기행렬 모형이 적합한데 모든 대기시스템은 시 간의 함수로 운영되므로 우리는 분석하고자 하는 시스템이 가변상태인지 또는 안정상태인지 를 먼저 결정하여야 한다. 신호화된 교차로에 유입·유출되는 특히 유입교통량은 시간대별 변화가 심하다. 미국 HCM에서는 이를 15분 단위로 분석하도록 제안하였으나 신호교차로 체계의 정밀 분석을 위해서는 만족스럽지 못한 시간단위이다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위 해서는 시스템이 안정상태가 아닌 가정으로 접근하여야 하며, 더 나아가 Dynamic한 분석이 요구된다. 안정상태의 지체는 Webster를 비롯한 여러 학자들에 의해 광범위하게 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 그들이 갖는 가정은 일반적으로 비현실적이어서 정밀한 지체추정은 실제로 가 능하지 않다. 안정상태 가정하에서 해법의 결점은 도착교통량이 용량에 다다를수록 더욱 심 하게 되어 비현실적인 지체예측을 하게 된다. 본 논문은 기존 분석방법론의 제반 한계성과 제약성을 검토하고 현실적인 교차로 지체모형을 개발하기 위해 고려되어져햐 할 변수들을 정립하고자 한다.

We present a high-resolution van Leer-type numerical scheme for the isentropic model of fluid flows in a nozzle with variable cross-section. Basically, the scheme is an improvement of the Godunov-type scheme. The scheme is shown to be well-balanced, as it can capture exactly equilibrium states. Numerical tests are conducted which include comparisons between the van Leer-type scheme and the Godunov-type scheme. It is shown that the van Leer-type scheme achieves a very good accuracy for initial data belong to both supersonic and supersonic regions, and the exact solution eventually possesses a resonant phenomenon.
