The new concept of level of service for the airport system indicates that there must be strong stimulation to proceed with the current stereotyped service standards which are being criticised due to their being based on, either physical capacity/volume or temporal/spatial standards that directly incorporates the perception of passengers. Quantitative factors have been dealt with the main service measurements when evaluating level of service. However, the passenger's perception for the provision service at the airport system is definitely important consideration to assess level of service. To enhance the reliability of service level evaluation from the passenger's point of view, this study has adopted three main evaluation factors ; temporal/spatial factors as quantitative measurements and comfort and reasonable service factors as qualitative measurements. The multi-decision model was constructed using Fuzzy Set Theory and applied to a case study at Seoul Kimpo International Airport. Results are presented in terms of passenger satisfaction with a variety of different values.

For the purpose of controlling the coupling between the car body panels and passenger compartment, experimental investigation of an acoustic cavity with an air gap is carried out to reveal how the air gap influences the acoustic modal characteristics of the cavity. The acoustic modal characteristics of the cavity is closely related with the booming noise. The experimental results show that a very small air gap can change the acoustic modal characteristics of the cavity and, as a result, the air gap can be an important factor in controlling the booming noise for comfortable and safe passenger compartment.

Power steering systems play an important role for the vehicle handling characteristics and driver's steering center feeling during straightforward driving situation. In this paper, the rotary valve, the main component of power steering systems, is modeled and analyzed, and is combined with a 3-DOF(degree of freedom) lateral dynamics model of passenger cars to examine the effects of design parameters on the vehicle steering characteristics. The results can be applied to the development of advanced power steering systems for passenger cars such as electronically-con-trolled power steering system.

The design work for the next generation of 300 passenger super high - speed foil catamaran ship has been performed in this study utilizing the accumulated technology and the acquired know - how. The study has been so successfully completed that the performance characteristics confirmed by the model tests are much superior to those of the design target. The construction and the sea trial of the super high - speed foil catamaran passenger ship designed in this study has been completed already. It is the authors' plan to present the sea trial results in the near future.

In the article 16 of the domestic rolling stock crashworthiness regulations, the collision acceleration level during collision accidents should remain under the maximum 7.5g and the average 5g. By the way, the accelerations obtained in crash simulations and tests contain many kinds of high frequency components due to numerical oscillations or noisy signals. So, this paper aims to develop reliable post-processing methods to filter high frequency oscillations and extract the rigid body motions of passenger rail cars. For this study we used the 1-dimensional dynamic model of KHST (Korean high-speed train), and evaluated acceleration data at the driver's area in the first power car and the passenger area in the following trailer.

As the functional characteristics of passenger cars have reached to a satisfactory level, customers place more concerns with the aesthetic aspects of interior designs. The present study developed satisfaction models of passenger car interior materials for six parts including crash pad, steering wheel, transmission gearshift knob, audio panel, metal grain, and wooden grain. Eight to fifteen material design variables such as color, embossing, and smoothness were defined for the six interior parts based on literature survey, customer reviews, and expert opinions. A satisfaction survey was conducted for 30 vehicles with 30 participants ($mean{\pm}SD$ of age = $28.7{\pm}6.6$) by using a modified magnitude estimation scale. Based on the survey results, the material design variables were screened from statistical, technical, and practical aspects. With the screened variables, satisfaction models were developed by using the quantification I method for the six interior parts, indicating the importance of material design variables and preferred material properties.

The wave-cancelling effects of a large bulbous bow on the coastal passenger boat have been investigated in deep and shallow water. The following characteristics have been cleared through resistance tests with the model of the Korea standard type coastal passenger vessel(LWL=25.8m, B=5.5m, T=1.65m) equipped with large bulbous bows of various sizes. (1) Over the range of Froude Number 0.30, the wavemaking resistance coefficients decrease 30% or more. (2) The optimum location of bulb center is around 8% L from F.P. (3) On the 120 G.T. passenger coaster which has a speed corresponding to Froude Number 0.34, the most advantageous bulb is the one whose $a_0/L$ is about 0.28. When the speed is up, the bulb radius should be increased accordingly. (4) The large bulbous bows are effective in shallow water to a water depth of H/T=2.0. (5) Tendency to the increase in the resistance of the hull with large bulbous bow in the shallow water is generally smaller than that of the hull without bulb.

When a ship is damaged and flooded, the motion of the damaged ship is significantly influenced by the flooding water dynamics. The flooding water in the damaged ship has been treated as a lumped mass under the quasi-static assumption in most of previous researches. To calculate the motion of damaged ship rigorously, it is necessary to analyze the coupled dynamics of flooding water. In this study, a series of numerical and experimental studies is conducted for the damaged part of ITTC RORO passenger. FLOW3D is used for investigating the feasibility of the state of the art CFD technique. An applicability of the coupled motion analysis of damaged ships can be confirmed by agreement between the numerical results and the model experiments. A CFD technique is considered for the numerical modeling of the dynamics of flooding water.

There have been subway conflagrations such as Daegu subway conflagration at 2003, Washington D.C conflagration last month and so on. Compared to that, proper evacuation route is far from satisfactory. So this paper suggests optimized route when subway's passengers evacuate from passenger cars. For conducting our experiment, We made temporarily a model of subway station which is made up with 8 passengers cars and 3 exits. Using genetic algorithm, we found the optimized route that first and second passenger cars are optimized to first exit and third, fourth, fifth and sixth passengers cars are optimized to second exit and finally seventh, eighth passengers cars are optimized to third exit. It is expected that real subway station is applied to our experiment by developing passenger distribution algorithm.

In maned airport, crews may have risks as they manage passenger control system in IPMS in damage situations such as fire in a airport. So the application of unmanned autonomous system can reduce the number of boarding crews and attribute to safe airplane transportation. PBBC model can be used to obtain control strategy, and airplane and enhance operators' skill by simulating the airport. The paper suggests an intelligent system of the pbbc control using microprocessor in integrated platform management system which can take measures against passenger situation of a airplane excluding unnecessary warnings with undamaged situations. The system here detected the passenger more accurately and adopted more appriate measures according to airplane status compared with conventional systems.
