The probabilistic characterization of wind field characteristics is a significant task for fatigue reliability assessment of long-span railway bridges in wind-prone regions. In consideration of the effect of wind direction, the stochastic properties of wind field should be represented by a bivariate statistical model of wind speed and direction. This paper presents the construction of the bivariate model of wind speed and direction at the site of a railway arch bridge by use of the long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) data. The wind characteristics are derived by analyzing the real-time wind monitoring data, such as the mean wind speed and direction, turbulence intensity, turbulence integral scale, and power spectral density. A sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm-based finite mixture modeling method is proposed to formulate the joint distribution model of wind speed and direction. For the probability density function (PDF) of wind speed, a double-parameter Weibull distribution function is utilized, and a von Mises distribution function is applied to represent the PDF of wind direction. The SQP algorithm with multi-start points is used to estimate the parameters in the bivariate model, namely Weibull-von Mises mixture model. One-year wind monitoring data are selected to validate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling method. The optimal model is jointly evaluated by the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and coefficient of determination, $R^2$. The obtained results indicate that the proposed SQP algorithm-based finite mixture modeling method can effectively establish the bivariate model of wind speed and direction. The established bivariate model of wind speed and direction will facilitate the wind-induced fatigue reliability assessment of long-span bridges.

프로브 차량 데이터로부터 전수화 된 교통량, 밀도, 대기행렬 길이를 추정하기 위해 프로브 차량 비율이 필요하다. 이를 위해 기존 연구는 프로브차량과 일반 차량의 위치에 대한 확률구조를 활용하여 지점 검지기 없이 프로브 차량 비율을 추정하는 방법을 제시하였으나, 기존 연구의 방법론은 다차로 도로에 적용할 수 없다는 한계가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 각 차로의 대기행렬 길이에 확률분포를 도입함으로써 다차로 접근로에서 프로브 차량 비율을 추정하고자 하였다. 사례연구 결과, 추정치와 관측치 간 이격이 있었으나, 추정치가 관측치의 경향을 따라가는 것으로 나타났으며, 향후 보정계수 도입 등을 통하여 추정치를 개선할 여지가 있었다. 본 연구는 지점 검지기가 없는 다차로 접근로에서 전수화 된 교통량, 밀도, 대기행렬 길이를 추정하기 위한 기초연구로서 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 확률밀도함수를 이용한 목재수확예측기법으로 면적가중치법(AW), 면적비율가중치법(ARW), 표본면적변화율가중치법(SCRW)를 적용하여 전국 국유림의 산림경영계획 목표량 설정을 위한 벌채계획량을 추정하였다. 벌채계획량 추정을 위한 산림면적은 산림기본통계의 2010년, 2015년의 영급별 국유림면적을 이용하였으며, 5년간의 산림면적변화량을 벌채면적으로 가정하여 산출하였다. AW, ARW, SCRW를 이용한 벌기령의 평균은 각각 5.41, 5.56, 5.37로 V~VI영급수준으로 산출되었다. 벌채면적은 각각 594,462 ha, 586,704 ha, 580,852 ha로 SCRW가 실제 면적변화량과 가장 유사하였으며, Chi-square 검정도 SCRW이 가장 안정적으로 분석되었다. 산림경영계획의 목재수확예측을 위한 방법으로 SCRW가 AW와 ARW보다 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 직교 위상 수신기에서 발생하는 동상 성분 채널과 직교 성분 채널간의 이득과 위상 불평형의 추정문제를 다룬다. 즉, 자동 보정 기능을 가지는 직교 위상 수신기에서의 백색 Gaussian 잡음을 고려한 통계적인 특성 분석을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘에 의한 추정값이 점근적으로 비편향 최소 분산 추정(asymptotically minimum-variance unbiased estimate) 특성을 가짐을 보여준다. 이를 위하여 먼저 자동 보정 알고리즘에서 사용하는 샘플링 값들에 대한 통계적인 특성을 구하고, 이 샘플 값들의 함수의 형태로 구해지는 이득과 위상 불평형 추정값들의 통계적인 특성을 분석하기 위해 추정값들의 확률분포함수를 구한다. 이를 기반으로 평균 함수 및 분산 함수를 계산하여 추정값들이 비편향 최소 분산 추정 특성을 나타냄을 확인한다.

This paper discussed the validity of wind force power generation in consideration of the topographical characteristics of Korea. In order to estimate the exact generation of wind power plants, we analyzed and compared wind resources in mountain areas and plain areas by introducing not only wind velocity, the most important variable, but also wind distribution and wind standard deviation that can reflect the influence of landform sufficiently. According to the results of this study, generation was higher at wind power plants installed in southwestern coastal areas where wind velocity was low than at those installed in mountain areas in Gangwondo where wind velocity was high. This suggests that the shape parameter of wind distribution is low due to the characteristics of mountain areas. and the standard deviation of wind velocity is large due to the effect of mountain winds, and therefore, actual generation is low in mountain areas although wind velocity is high.

This paper discussed the Feasibility study of wind power generation considering the topographical characteristics of Korea. In order to estimate the exact generation of wind power plants, we analyzed and compared wind resources in mountain areas and plain areas by introducing not only wind speed, the most important variable, but also wind distribution and wind standard deviation that can reflect the influence of landform sufficiently. According to the results of this study, generation was almost the same at wind power plants installed in southwestern coastal areas where wind speed was low as at those installed in mountain areas in Gangwondo where wind speed was high. This demonstrates that the shape parameter of wind distribution is low due to the characteristics of mountain areas, and the standard deviation of wind speed is large due to the effect of mountain winds, therefore, actual generation compared to southwestern coastal areas is almost similar in mountain areas even though wind speed is high.

In this paper, we propose a new method for improving the accuracy of localizing a robot to find the position of a robot in indoor environment. The proposed method uses visible light for indoor localization with a reference receiver to estimate optical power of individual LED in order to reduce localization errors which are caused by aging of LED components and different optical power for each individual LED, etc. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method by comparing it with the performance of traditional model. In several simulations, probability density functions and cumulative distribution functions of localization errors are also obtained. Results indicate that the proposed method is able to reduce localization errors from 7.3 cm to 1.6 cm with a precision of 95%.

In this study, weight of evidence(WOE) technique based on the bayesian method was applied to estimate the groundwater yield characteristics in the Pocheon area in Kyungki-do. The ground water preservation depends on many hydrogeologic factors that include hydrologic data, landuse data, topographic data, geological map and other natural materials, even with man-made things. All these data can be digitally collected and managed by GIS database. In the applied technique of WOE, The prior probabilities were estimated as the factors that affect the yield on lineament, geology, drainage pattern or river system density, landuse and soil. We calculated the value of the Weight W+, W- of each factor and estimated the contrast value of it. Results by the ground water yield characteristic calculations were presented in the form of posterior probability map to the consideration of in-situ samples. It is concluded that this technique is regarded as one of the effective technique for the feasibility mapping related to detection of groundwater bearing zones and its spatial pattern.

A theoretical procedure to estimate spectral displacement of a hysteretic oscillator with bilinear stiffness excited by band-limited excitation is presented. The stochastic method of ground-motion simulation is combined with the random vibration theory to compute linear and nonlinear structural response. The response is obtained by computing the root-mean-square oscillator response using dissipation energy balancing by integrating over all energy levels of system weighting with the stationary probability density of the energy. The results are presented in a convenient form, and the accuracy of the procedure is assessed by comparison with results obtained with the time-domain method using the recorded data. The model shows little or no bias at the structural period of engineering interest.

The load and resistance factors are generally obtained using the First Order Reliability Method (FORM), in which the design point should be determined and derivative-based iterations have to be used. In this paper, a simple method for estimating the load and resistance factors using the first four moments of the basic random variables is proposed and a simple formula for the target mean resistance is also proposed to avoid iteration computation. Unlike the currently used method, the load and resistance factors can be determined using the proposed method even when the probability density functions (PDFs) of the basic random variables are not available. Moreover, the proposed method does not need either the iterative computation of derivatives or any design points. Thus, the present method provides a more convenient and effective way to estimate the load and resistance factors in practical engineering. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed fourth moment method for determining the load and resistance factors.
