In line with the continued growth of car ownership, the traffic problems in central area of metropoles such as Seoul would become increasingly degraded. comparing with most western cities, the problems in Seoul are characterized by the improportionately high rates of intersection delay, station congestion, traffic accidents caused by weaving conflicts and pedestrian congestion. It is caused by the lack of flexibility I street network, which is prerequisite for upholding the efficacy of traffic management and control, resulted from the simplicity of network graph in terms of connectivity, street density and distribution by width. This pattern has been resulted from the prolonged policy pursuing the street-widening of the nagging bottleneck in such a short period since the 1950s, comparing that most western cities had undergone over several centuries an age of horse-and-vehicle transportation. In order to improve the expected traffic problems in central area over the coming periods of motorization, it is imperative to restructure the street network in Central Seoul so that the efficacy of traffic management and control may be operative. Based upon the long-range planning the street network should be restructured by stages so that cenral traffic may be controled by one-way operation and most through-traffic be detoured around fringe area.

Despite advances in technology, crushing accidents still occur during emergency evacuations of crowded public spaces. To prevent crushing accidents, it is necessary to understand the flow of pedestrians during evacuation scenarios through experiments. Since experiments with humans can generate real accidents, we performed experiments on rodents to approximate human behavior. To trigger an emergency evacuation response, we applied electrical stimulation to the feet of the rodents. Although electrical stimulation has been applied to mice in many experiments, studies on the intensity and pattern of electric stimulation required to evoke a rapid evacuation response in mice is still lacking. In this study, we experimentally investigated how the evacuation flow of mice changes according to the amplitude, event, and duration of electric stimulation.

일반적으로 화재 및 대피에 대한 안전성을 진단하기 위해 화재 시뮬레이터와 대피 시뮬레이터를 독립적으로 활용하고 있다. 이 방식은 화재 확산을 고려한 보행자의 움직임이 반영되어 있지 않기 때문에 높은 정확도의 안전성 진단을 기대하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 화재 확산을 고려한 보행자의 움직임을 묘사할 수 있는 화재 대피 시뮬레이션 기법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 시뮬레이션 기법은 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)의 화재 확산 데이터를 보행모델 FFM(Floor Field Model)에 반영하여, 보행자가 화재를 인지하고 이를 바탕으로 우회하여 안전한 경로로 대피하는 상황을 묘사한다. 연구 범위는 FDS와 FFM 간의 데이터 연동 및 화재 확산을 고려한 FFM 개발로 구성되며, 제안한 방법론의 실험은 대피 시뮬레이터 EgresSIM을 이용하여 진행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서는 화재의 유무에 따른 출구별 대피인원 변화가 나타났으며, 이에 따른 출구별 대피시간 증감과 병목현상의 심화를 확인할 수 있었다.
