The existing raised pavement marker, however, have some limitations. Most of them are square-shaped which makes only forward and backward retro-reflection, their orientation can be easily changed by impact of vehicle, and the surface reflector can be readily contaminated leading poor functioning. In addition, maintenance for broken raised pavement marker is not easy. The purpose of the study is to design and manufacture a new and improved type of raised pavement marker. The new raised pavement marker has round-shaped upper structure. Its body was separated from the holder and the reflector was surrounded by acrylic cover. We tested performances of the constituent parts, optimum load after installation, and reflection efficiency. The new raised pavement marker will be an initiation of studies on the improvement of the shape and performance of raised pavement markers.

In this paper, existing technology that uses broadcasting and multicasting IP addrsses at the wireless access network, based on Internet as a core network, is upgraded. By employing broadcasting service request by receivers, convergence of multicasting and broadcasting, and lower level filtering of broadcast data, the load and traffic of network, server, base station, and receiver is substantially reduced. The technology proposed in this paper could be useful for general broadcasting services, and especially optimum for LBS and Telematics services.

Clustering wireless sensor network is an efficient way to reduce the energy consumption of individual nodes in a cluster. In clustering, multihop routing techniques increase the load of the Cluster head near the sink. This unbalanced load on the Cluster head increases its energy consumption, thereby Cluster heads die faster and create an energy hole problem. In this paper, we propose an Energy Balancing Cluster Head (EBCH) in wireless sensor network. At First, we balance the intra cluster load among the cluster heads, which results in nonuniform distribution of nodes over an unequal cluster size. The load received by the Cluster head in the cluster distributes their traffic towards direct and multihop transmission based on the load distribution ratio. Also, we balance the energy consumption among the cluster heads to design an optimum load distribution ratio. Simulation result shows that this approach guarantees to increase the network lifetime, thereby balancing cluster head energy.

When we construct a road near an apartment complex, we consider a soundproof wall. To make residential places quieter, we may consider a soundproof road tunnel. Such a tunnel, however, would become highly concentrated with soot from vehicles whenever a traffic jam might occur. To create an optimum design, this study utilizes the PHOENICS-VR software. The work considers three cases: (1) no openings (2) openings at 30m intervals, and (3) openings at 60m intervals on the upper side of the tunnel. The study finds that in the second case shows CO concentration distributions were 15% less than those without openings. And the CO concentration distributions of the second and third cases are almost the same. The findings suggest that we should make the soundproof tunnel to reduce construction fees.

This paper aims to support delay-sensitive multimedia applications by suggesting a mechanism in which maintains almost constant end-to-end delay thus providing the optimum playout synchronization. For this task the sum of network delay and buffering delay is entiredly managed and to eliminate little delay fluctuations and instantaneous delays at a buffer and a network, a low pass filter is used. Furthermore the correction function, which is used for maintaining the buffering level ot a reference value, is a non-linear step function, unlike the existing linear and continuous function. it has a different step sizes adapting to a traffic characteristics of a network congestion. the proposed mechanism has been confirmed of it sefficiency through SLAM-II netowrk.

Many recent supercomputers employ a kind of switch-based multistage interconnection network architectrues (MINs) for constructing scalabel parallel compters. This paper proposed a new routing method, hybrid wormhole and virtual-cut through routing (HWCR) for the prevention of rapid performance degradation comming from a conflict in links usage at hot traffic situation. This HWCR through (VCT) for the fast removing temporal stagger, result in seamless flow of packet stream. When the blocked link is removed, wormhole routing is resumed. The HWCR method adopted a hierachical buffer scheme for improving the network performance and reducing the cost in BMINs. We could get optimum buffer size and communicatin latency through the computer simulation based on proposed HWCR, and the results were compared to those using wormhole and VCT.

Soft handoff provided in CDMA cellular system has much advantage such as better service quality, interference control and low call dropping probability. In this paepr, we propose an optimum resource reservationscheme for handoff calls in the CDMA cellular system to increase the soft handoff probability in handoff. In the proposed scheme, resources of each frquency channel are reserved for handoff according to the number of its neighbot cells serving the same frequency channel. A performance analysis shows that the soft handoff probability of the proposed scheme is higher than that of conventional scheme disregarding the condition of frquency assignment of neighbot cells, and that ever frequency channel served by neighbor cells should reserve more than one traffic channel for handoff to get good performance.

This paper proposes a practical method for AGC (Automatic Gain Control) in WiBro (Wireless Broadband) AT (Access Terminal) system. Downlink packets in this system consist of preamble symbols for AGC, AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) and other purposes and data symbols for traffic transmission. In this paper we compare theoretical BER (Bit Error Rate) performance with simulation results and produce optimum parameters for AGC in this system. And we propose an efficient AGC scheme before synchronization.

In order to take TC forecasts from different observatories into consideration, and make quantitative assessment and analysis for avoiding TC routes from the view of safety and cost, a new safe-economic decision making method of TC avoidance routing on ocean was put forward. This model is based on combining forecast of TC trace based on neural networks, technical method to determine the future TC wind and wave fields, technical method of fuzzy information optimization, risk analysis theory, and meteorological-economic decision making theory. It has applied to the simulation of MV Tianlihai's shipping on ocean. The result shows that the model can select the optimum plan from 7 plans, the selected plan is in accordance with the one selected by experienced captains.

Since the global positioning system (GPS) has been included in mobile devices (e.g., for car navigation, in smartphones, and in smart watches), the impact of personal GPS log data on daily life has been unprecedented. For example, such log data have been used to solve public problems, such as mass transit traffic patterns, finding optimum travelers' routes, and determining prospective business zones. However, a real-time analysis technique for GPS log data has been unattainable due to theoretical limitations. We introduced a machine learning model in order to resolve the limitation. In this paper presents a new, three-stage real-time prediction model for a person's daily route activity. In the first stage, a machine learning-based clustering algorithm is adopted for place detection. The training data set was a personal GPS tracking history. In the second stage, prediction of a new person's transient mode is studied. In the third stage, to represent the person's activity on those daily routes, inference rules are applied.
