Ramp metering is one of the most efficient and widely used control methods for an intelligent transportation management system on a freeway. Its objective is to control and upgrade freeway traffic by regulating the number of vehicles entering the freeway entrance ramp, in such a way that not only the alleviation of the congestion but also the smoothing of the traffic flow around the desired density level can be achieved for the maintenance of the maximum mainline throughput. When the cycle of the signal detection is larger than that of the system process, the density tracking problem needs to be considered in the form of the discrete-time system. Therefore, a discrete-time sliding mode control method is proposed for the ramp metering problem in the presence of both input constraint in the on-ramp and exogenous disturbance in the off-ramp considering the random behavior of the driver. Simulations were performed using a validated second-order macroscopic traffic flow model in Matlab environment and the simulation results indicate that proposed control method can achieve better performance than previously well-known ALINEA strategy in the sense that mainstream flow throughput is maximized and congestion is alleviated even in the presence of input constraint and exogenous disturbance.

In order to detect the current flowing through concealed conductor, this paper proposes a new method based on derivative method. Firstly, this paper analyzes the main peak characteristic of the derivative function of magnetic field generated by a current-carrying conductor, and a relationship between the current flowing through the conductor and the main peak of the derivative function is obtained and applied to calculate the current. Then, the method is applied to detect the conductor current flowing through grounding grids of substations. Finally, the numerical experimental and field experiment verified the feasibility and accuracy of the method, and the computing results show that the method can effectively measure the conductor current of grounding grids with low error, and the error is within 5 %.

In this study, the present regulation of heat metering for the ground source heat pump was investigated. The ground source heat pump has been adopting the heat metering system used in the district heating system for estimating the heating and cooling energy production amount. The accuracy of the present heat metering systems for a water to water ground source heat pump is low, because the system for district heating has a relatively high temperature range comparing with the ground source heat pump operating conditions. Even though the heat amount for the building side should be measured, the heat absorption and extraction amount from or to the ground was measured for the water to air ground source heat pump due to the difficulty of estimating the air side heating and cooling capacity in the present regulation. It is highly recommended to validate the heat metering system to have reliability for the ground source heat pump and develop the system to be applicable water to air ground source heat pump.

원격 검침 시스템(AMI : Advanced Metering Infrastructure)은 최근 활발히 추진 중인 스마트그리드의 핵심 인프라로, 구축비용 절감 및 운영의 효율성을 위해 무선 통신 기술 도입이 적극적으로 검토되고 있다. 하지만, AMI에 무선 통신 기술 적용 시 무선 통신의 보안 취약점 때문에 다양한 보안 위협이 발생 가능하기 때문에 이에 대한 대응책이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Binary CDMA 망을 이용한 AMI 네트워크 무선망 구조를 제시하고, 이에 대한 보안 대책으로 BSIM(Binary Subscriber Identity Module)을 중심으로 사용자 인증 및 무선 구간 암호화를 수행함으로써 AMI 무선 구간의 보안 위협을 감소시키는 방안에 대해 연구한다.

Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) and corn (Zea mays L.) transplanting has increased because soybean and corn crops cultivated by the direct seeding method were often damaged by wild birds. The purpose of this study is to develop a seeder to sow soybean (Glycine max Merr.) and corn (Zea mays L.) in a plug tray. In order to find out design factors for a metering device of the seeder, metering characteristics on metering hole size and roller speed were experimentally investigated. Soybean (cv. 'Daewon') and corn (cv. 'Mibaekchal') were used as a materials for testing the seeder in this experiment. The metering hole size of roller suitable for Daewonkong and Mibaekchal was determined. Daewonkong was suitable for hole diameter of 10 mm and hole depth of 5.5 mm, and Mibaekcal was suitable for hole diameter of 9 mm and hole depth of 5.5 mm. At a brush length of 4 mm, one grain seeding rates of Daewonkong and Mibaekchal was 99% and 93% respectively. By inducing Mibaekchal to the hole by swing, one grain seeding rate of that increased from 91.9% to 97.7%. When roller speed is 4 m per minut, seeding efficiency of prototype was 110 sheets per hour.

In this paper, a novel traffic flow control method based-on ramp metering and speed regulation using an adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) method along with a deadzoned parameter adaptation law is proposed at a stochastic macroscopic level traffic environment, where the influence of the density and speed disturbances is accounted for in the traffic dynamic equations. The goal of this paper is to design a local traffic flow controller using both ramp metering and speed regulation based on ASMC, in order to achieve the desired density and speed for the maintenance of the maximum mainline throughput against disturbances in practice. The proposed method is advantageous in that it can improve the traffic flow performance compared to the traditional methods using only ramp metering, even in the presence of ramp storage limitation and disturbances. Moreover, a prior knowledge of disturbance magnitude is not required in the process of designing the controller unlike the conventional sliding mode controller. A stability analysis is presented to show that the traffic system under the proposed traffic flow control method is guaranteed to be uniformly bounded and its ultimate bound can be adjusted to be sufficiently small in terms of deadzone. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated under different traffic situations (i.e., different initial traffic status), in the sense that the proposed control method is capable of stabilizing traffic flow better than the previously well-known Asservissement Lineaire d'Entree Autoroutiere (ALINEA) strategy and also feedback linearization control (FLC) method.

Energy saving starts by knowing how much energy is being consumed. A building factor is easier than any other things in energy saving. Since, especially, it is closely connected with user's space-use-patterns and manager's utility-operation-style. An energy metering system lets building users know about energy consumption pattern in buildings and measure energy in real time. Development and materialization of metering systems need more careful plans, so that they depend on a demand of individual facilities and available infrastructures they used to use. But, so far, there is no guidelines how to install metering systems. This paper suggested how to install meters and researched a method for how to analyze by using metered data. For that, Green Building in KIER is used as a test bed. As the results, nevertheless the smallest number of meters is basically one for the whole building energy measuring, it is too limited in analysis. So we needed to add the sort of fuel and utility types and found that it depends on all cases. For this reasons, a guideline should be created in order to install meters as soon as possible. It would be suggest a way to save more energy in building factor.

수소는 차량에 충전 시 급격한 온도변화와 압력상승으로 인해 정확한 충전량의 측정이 어렵다. 수소 인프라 구축을 위하여 상거래 시 민감한 문제가 될 수 있는 충전량 정밀 측정 기술은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 수소 충전기의 계량 관리를 위한 연구의 일환으로 국내 수소 충전소의 계량정확성 평가를 실시하였다. 실험을 위하여 표준유량계법을 적용한 장비를 제작하고 실제 수소자동차의 충전 환경에서 유량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 평균적으로 10% 내외의 오차가 발생하였으며, 1대 충전 당 수소 손실량은 최대 60g까지 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다.

회전교차로는 각 접근로의 진입교통량이 불균형할 경우 주 접근로의 대기행렬이 길어지게 됨으로 회전교차로 전체의 용량이 감소되는 단점이 있다. 이에 보통 1대의 신호등으로 운영되는 Metering 회전교차로의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만 2대의 신호등에 의해 운영되는 Metering 회전교차로의 연구는 미흡하다. 교차로 분석에 널리 사용되는 SIDRA6 또한 2대의 신호등으로 구성된 회전교차로의 분석에 제약이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 2대의 신호등으로 운영되는 호주 Adelaide의 Old Belair 회전교차로를 대상으로 4-nodes Intersection을 이용한 새로운 분석방법을 제시하고 분석을 실시하였다. 모형 구축 방법에서 4개의 독립 교차로 연결, 기하구조 반영, 방향별 교통량 입력, 우선권 및 신호현시에 대해 설명하였으며 정산방법에서는 PFF, Critical Gap, Follow-up Headway 그리고 Extra Bunching 값의 적용에 대하여 제시 하였다. 그 결과 회전교차로의 효과척도인 지체시간 및 서비스 수준의 분석이 가능하며 그 외 포화도 및 상충교통량 등 다양한 분석이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
