Tower insulators in electric power transmission network play a crucial role in preserving the reliability of the system. Electrical utilities frequently face the problem of flashover of insulators due to pollution deposition on their surface. Several research works based on leakage current (LC) measurement has been already carried out in developing diagnostic techniques for these insulators. Since the LC signal is highly intermittent in nature, estimation of pollution severity based on LC signal measurement over a short period of time will not produce accurate results. Reports on the measurement and analysis of LC signals over a long period of time is scanty. This paper attempts to use Random Forest (RF) classifier, which produces accurate results on large data bases, to analyze the pollution severity of high voltage tower insulators. Leakage current characteristics over a long period of time were measured in the laboratory on porcelain insulator. Pollution experiments were conducted at 11 kV AC voltage. Time domain analysis and wavelet transform technique were used to extract both basic features and histogram features of the LC signal. RF model was trained and tested with a variety of LC signals measured over a lengthy period of time and it is noticed that the proposed RF model based pollution severity classifier is efficient and will be helpful to electrical utilities for real time implementation.

Design of a high-speed railway line requires collaboration of heterogeneous application systems and of engineers with different background. Object-based 3D models with metadata can be a shared information model for the effective collaborative design. In this paper, railway infrastructure information model is proposed to enable integrated and inter-operable works throughout the life-cycle of the railway infrastructures, from planning to maintenance. In order to develop the model, object-based 3-D models were built for a 10km railway among Korea high-speed railway lines. The model has basically three information layers for designers, contractors and an owner, respectively. Prestressed concrete box-girders are the most common superstructure of bridges. The design information layer has metadata on requirements, design codes, geometry, analysis and so on. The construction layer has data on drawings, real data for material and products, schedules and so on. The maintenance layer for the owner has the final geometry, material data, products and their suppliers and so on. These information has its own data architecture which is derived from similar concept of product breakdown structure(PBS) and work breakdown structure(WBS). The constructed RIIM for the infrastructures of the high-speed railway was successfully applied to various areas such as design check, structural analysis, automated estimation, construction simulation, virtual viewing, and digital mock-up. The integrated information model can realize virtual construction system for railway lines and dramatically increase the productivity of the whole engineering process.

PURPOSES : The objective was to develop the advanced method which could not explain each observation's specific characteristic in the present negative binomial method that results in under-estimation of the standard error(t-value inflation) and affects the confidence of whole derived results. METHODS : This study dealt with traffic accidents occurring within interchange segment on highway main line with RPNB(Random Parameter Negative Binomial) method that enables to take account of heterogeneity. RESULTS : As a result, AADT and lighting installation type on the road were revealed to have random parameter and in terms of other geometric variables, all were derived as fixed parameter(same effect on every segment). Also, marginal effects were adapted to analyze the relative effects on traffic accidents. CONCLUSIONS : This study proves that RPNB method which considers each observation's specific characteristics is better fitted to the accident data with geometrics. Thus, it is recommended that RPNB model or other methods which could consider the heterogeneity needs to be adapted in accident analysis.

Utilization of supplementary cementing materials (SCM) by the cement industry, as a highly promising solution of sustainable cement development aiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, necessitates a more thorough evaluation of these types of materials on concrete durability. In this study a comparative assessment of the effect of SCM on concrete durability, of every cement type as defined in the European Standard EN 197-1 is taking place, using a software tool, based on proven predictive models (according to performance-related methods for assessing durability) developed and wide-validated for the estimation of concrete service life when designing for durability under harsh environments. The effect of Type II additives (fly ash, silica fume) on CEM I type of cement, as well as the effect of every Portland-composite type of cement (and others) are evaluated in terms of their performance in carbonation and chloride exposure, for a service life of 50 years. The main aim is to portray a unified and comprehensive evaluation of the efficiency of SCM in order to create the basis for future consideration of more types of cement to enter the production line in industry.

잘 설계된 철골 모멘트 접합부의 경우, 유효회전능력에 도달하기 전에 국부좌굴이 발생하고 비탄성 후좌굴 변형이 접합부 회전능력을 정의하는데 중대한 역할을 한다. 이 연구에서는 국부좌굴로 인한 강도저하와 보 소성힌지의 회전을 모델링하여, 단조증가하중 및 반복하중이 작 용하는 특별철골모멘트골조의 강접합 보-기둥 접합부의 회전능력을 예측하기 위한 근사적 해석모델을 제안한다. 제안된 항복선 소성힌지 모델은 좌굴된 소성힌지부의 형상에 기초하여 항복선과 소성존으로 구성되고, 소성메커니즘을 통해 국부좌굴후의 거동까지 포함한 모멘트-회전각 관계를 제 공한다. 향상된 WUF-W 와 RBS 접합부를 위해 제안된 모델을 개발한 후 실험결과와 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 동반논문(변수연구)에서는 광범위 한 H-형강의 기하학적 변수 따른 접합부 회전능력에 대하여 논의하였다.

This paper is an experimental work of estimating friction angle of very coarse grained soil such as rubble mound by performing laboratory experiments. Two crushed rocks of rubble mound were used for tests. Triaxial compression tests with drained conditions were performed to measure friction angles of soils prepared by mixing the crushed soil having an identical coefficient of uniformity with different maximum grain size distribution. Centrifuge model experiments with those soils were also performed to measure angle of repose and to estimate friction angle of soil from measuring the slope of slip line in the active stress state. Model tests were carried out by changing the G-levels of 1G and 50G. From triaxial compression tests, the measured value of friction angle of soil is in the range of $41{\sim}57^{\circ}$. The measured value of repose angle is in the range of $32{\sim}35^{\circ}$. The values of friction angle are found not so sensitive to the maximum grain size of soil as long as the coefficient of uniformity is identical. Estimated value of friction angle from measuring the slope of slip line in the active stress state is in the range of $30{\sim}46^{\circ}$. Thus, the estimated angle of friction are found to be greater in the order of the measured angle of repose, the estimated value from the slope of active state, and triaxial compression test results. On the other hand, the measured values of friction angle from triaxial tests were compared with empirical equations, based on the relation between friction angle and void ratio. Equations proposed by Helenelund(l966) and Hansen(1967) found to be relatively reliable to estimate friction angles of soil.

지금까지 교통사고발생과 기하구조와의 관계파악을 위한 모형정립에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어져 왔다. 이러한 연구들은 도로선형, 기하구조의 개선 혹은 위험구간 선정 등에 사용되어 교통사고 건수 및 사고심각도를 줄이는데 기여를 하여왔다. 하지만, 모형정립에 사용되었던 변수들은 자료수집 부족 등의 이유로 변수 혹은 대상구간이 가지고 있는 기하구조의 비동질성을 고려하지 못한 측면이 있었으며, 이는 모형 정립시 계수의 표준오차값이 과소 추정되어 모형전체의 신뢰성에 영향을 미쳐왔다. 따라서, 이번 연구에서는 사용되는 변수의 비동질성 고려가 모형의 결과에 미치는 영향을 알아봄으로써, 비동질성의 중요성을 파악하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 그 결과, 모든 기하구조에 대한 비동질성을 고려하지는 못하였으나, 몇몇 사용된 기하구조 변수들의 경우, 의미 있는 결과가 도출되었다.

본 논문에서는 실용화를 목적으로 비전 시스템을 기반으로 한 차선검출의 성능개선과 처리과정의 고속화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 차선검출의 고속화를 위해 전처리 과정으로 수평소실선의 추정과 관심영역(ROI-LB)의 최적 선정으로 획기적인 검출영역의 감소가 가능하다. 블록단위의 ROI-LB 내에서 영상의 특징정보를 추출하고 이를 기반으로 한 Hough 변환의 적용에 의한 nonparametric 모델 매칭 기법으로 차선을 검출한다. Laplacian 필터를 사용해서 잡음제거와 동시에 에지 보강 과정을 처리함으로서 다양한 차선 패턴에 대한 특징정보 추출의 신뢰성을 향상시킨다. 또한 ROI-LB 내 블록별 에지의 방향성 정보의 클러스터링으로 차선으로 오인식되는 에지들의 제거가 가능해 차선검출의 성능을 개선할 수 있다. 제안 방법의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 다양한 실제 차선 패턴을 대상으로 한 실험결과를 제시한다.

하수관망은 인간의 삶을 증진시키거나 홍수와 같은 재해를 예방한다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 하수처리시설에 대하여 관심을 가질 뿐, 관로에 대한 관리는 지도(map)의 수준에서 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 선형 객체의 경우 한 개의 선형에 단일 속성만 존재한다. 이 한계로 인하여 하수관거와 같은 선형 속성은 관리하기 힘들고, 선형의 부분적인(point type, line type) 속성 변화는 처리할 수 없다. 이에 본 연구는 속성 변화를 적용시킬 수 있는 방법을 찾고 적용하고자한다. 이를 위하여 Dynamic Segmentation을 이용하였다. DS는 선형객체 상의 정확한 위치에 속성값을 부여할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이를 이용하여 하수관거 주위의 다양한 환경 변화를 적용 시킬 수 있었다. 또한 관거별 최대하수량을 정밀하게 계산할 수 있었다.

Currently, most automobile companies are interested in research on intelligent autonomous vehicle. They are mainly focused on driver's intelligent assistant and driver replacement. In order to develop an autonomous vehicle, lateral and longitudinal control is necessary. This paper presents a lateral and longitudinal control system for autonomous vehicle that has only mono-vision camera. For lane detection, we present a new lane detection algorithm using clothoid parabolic road model. The proposed algorithm in compared with three other methods such as virtual line method, gradient method and hough transform method, in terms of lane detection ratio. For adaptive control, we apply a vanishing point estimation to fuzzy control. In order to improve handling and stability of the vehicle, the modeling errors between steering angle and predicted vanishing point are controlled to be minimized. So, we established a fuzzy rule of membership functions of inputs (vanishing point and differential vanishing point) and output (steering angle). For simulation, we developed 1/8 size robot (equipped with mono-vision system) of the actual vehicle and tested it in the athletics track of 400 meter. Through the test, we prove that our proposed method outperforms 98 % in terms of detection rate in normal condition. Compared with virtual line method, gradient method and hough transform method, our method also has good performance in the case of clear, fog and rain weather.
