When houses or buildings are adjacent to roads, with no effective prevention of road traffic noise, neighbors are exposed to it. It is important to understand the properties of sound propagation before taking a countermeasure against road traffic noise. It is easy to estimate the properties of sound propagation without obstacles, but very difficult and complex to estimate them with ones. The purpose of this study is to present a useful tool that can estimate the properties of sound propagation. In the beginning of this study, we investigated the attenuation of road traffic noise with two pillar buildings, and presented practical approximate calculation method, and verified that through scale model. The outcomes from this study are as follows : (1) Over second reflection sound waves can be ignored. (2) Diffraction sound waves that happen when reflection sound and first diffraction wave are projected at the wedge of other building can be ignored.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was investigated that correlation between Temperament and Character Inventory(TCI) and Beck Depression Inventory (EDI). State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) in traffic accident patients. Methods: We investigated 30 cases of traffic accident patients. The patients answered that questionnaire about temperament. character and depression. anxiety. TCI and BDI. STAI were used to get to know that answers. Results: Depression is positive correlated with novelty seeking and harm avoidance in temperament. In character. depression is negative correlated with self directedness, and positive correlated with self-transcendence. Anxiety is positive correlated with harm avoidance in temperament. and negative correlated with self directedness. Conclusions : The results of correlation between TCI and BD I. STAI in traffic accident patients were consistent with previous studies in general person.

For the purpose of decreasing economic loss from the traffic jam, a car route guidance system efficiently utilizing the existing roads has attracted a great deal of attention. In this paper, the search algorithm for optimal path and alternative paths, which is the main function of a car route guidance system, was presented using evolution program. Search efficiency was promoted by changing the population size of path individuals in each generation, applying the concept of age and lifetime to path individuals. Through simulation on the virtual road-traffic network consisting of 100 nodes with various turn constraints and traffic volumes, not only the optimal path with the minimal cost was obtained, avoiding turn constraints and traffic congestion, but also alternative paths with similar costs and acceptable difference was acquired, compared with optimal path.

The purpose of this study is to construct a forecasting model involved in a diverted traffic volume of the 2nd intra-urban expressway in construction presently, in the case of the future prediction of traffic demand for the intra-urban expressway in Pusan. In this study, the model involved in a diverted traffic volume is constructed trustworthy. And the future traffic demand of intra-urban expressway by this model was forecasted 114,005 volume/daily in 1996 and 147,090 volume/daily in 2001. However, it will made a study more and more concretely for practicality and limitation as well as construction of the forecasting model considered an intrinsic problem of an observational error and necessity of survey for much more socio-economic data, the traffic volume on all orad and OD pairs in Pusan.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment on a patient with somatic symptom disorder hospitalized after a traffic accident. Methods: The subject for this study was a patient diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder that worsened after a traffic accident. During hospitalization, herbal medicine, acupuncture, psychotherapy, and other treatments were performed. Clinical effect was evaluated using Heart Rate Variability (HRV), BDI (Beck Depression Inventory)-II, BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory), Global assessment (G/A), and Numerical rating scale (NRS). Results: After 36 days of treatment, BDI-II score was reduced from 17 to 5. BAI score was reduced from 23 to 8. Overall somatic symptoms and pain showed decreases. Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment might be effective for somatic symptom disorder that is worsened after a traffic accident.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the accuracy of traffic volume forecast by comparing an estimated to real traffic volume. For this study, total 10 sections of national highways, which are planned in 1980s and 1990s, were selected and traffic analysis data for highway construction were collected. In addition, targeted 10 sections were categorized into network-related and -unrelated sections. In the analysis of inaccuracy between the estimated and real traffic, for network-related sections, appeared to have lower inaccuracy. As time goes on after traffic open, inaccuracy between the estimated and real traffic appeared to be lower. In various section lengths, the longer the section length, the higher the inaccuracy is. Using 3 years passed data after traffic open, national highway have lower inaccuracy than expressway. However, the traffic analysis according to traffic open time resulted in little change of the inaccuracy.

This study developed the optimization method to correct the measured traffic volume of the expressway that minimizes the measurement error and satisfies the traffic balancing with TCS. For this purpose, the model constructed in this study was compared and verified with the true traffic volume. Verification result of the model, it was found that the measurement error is reduced when the measured traffic volume is corrected for the traffic volume balance. As a result of applying it to 40 links of the Kyoungbu expressway, the measured traffic volume was corrected by -8.1%~9.6% and the measurement error was decreased as much as the corrected traffic volume. This research is meaningful in improving the accuracy of the measured traffic volume of the expressway, while the scale and role of the expressway are increasing.

As the advances of Internet infra structure and the support of console and mobile for network games, the industry of online game has been growing rapidly, and the online game traffic in the Internet has been increasing steadily. For design and simulation of game network, the analysis of online game traffic have to be preceded. Therefore a number of papers have been proposed for the purpose of analyzing the traffic data of network games and providing the models. We make and use GameNet Analyzer as a dedicated tool for game traffic measurement and analysis in this paper. We measure the traffic of FPS Quake 3, RTS Starcraft and MMORPG World of Warcraft (WoW), and analyze the packet size, packet IAT(inter-arrival time), data rate and packet rate according to the number of players and in-game behaviors. We also present the traffic models using measured traffic data. These analysis and models of game traffic can be used for effective network simulation, performance evaluation of game network and the design of online games.

This study is to review the road traffics and its process by the type of business in annual Statistical Yearbook of Transportation published under the supervision of Ministry of Transport, and the main purpose of this study is to find out an recommendations for the result of the review. For this purpose, this study surveyed and analyzed actual results and its output process in Statistical Yearbook by vehicle and business types. The local survey is performed for the nationwide 23 cities to produce passenger (ton) number and passenger (ton)-㎞ number by vehicle and business types. The result of the local survey is compared with the road traffics in Statistical Yearbook of Transpotation. The result of the survey analysis reveals that road traffic in Statistical Yearbook is produced formally and there is remarkable differences between road traffic in Statistical Yearbook and local survey output. Conclusively, statistical output process of road traffics must be improved to solve th se problems mentioned above in respect to system and technic. Also it is recommended to publish its own road traffic statistics (tentatively named Statistical Yearbook of Road Transportation) just like Statistical Yearbook of Railroad for user's expediency and practicality.
