CDMA/TOD with asymmetric capacity allocation between uplink and downlink is a highly attractive solution to support the next generation mobile systems. This is because flexible asymmetric allocation of capacity to uplink and downlink usually improves the utilization of the limited bandwidth. In this paper, we mathematically formulate an optimal timeslot and code allocation problem, which is to maximize the total utility considering the numbers of codes(channels) allocated to each data class and the forced terminations of previously allocated codes. We also suggest a real-time integrated timeslot and code allocation scheme using Lagrangean relaxation and subgradient optimization techniques. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme provides high-quality solutions in a fast time.

일반신호기는 정해진 신호시간에 따라 독립적으로 운영되는 정주기신호기와 TOD(Time of Day)식 신호기이다. 이런 일반신호기의 단점으로는 변동되는 교통량에 대응이 불가능하고, 교통량에 관계없이 연속적으로 신호체계가 이루어지기 때문에 차량의 이동성이 비효율적으로 됨에 따라 생산성 감소, 에너지낭비 및 자동차 배기가스 증가를 초래하고 있다 이를 개선하기 위한 방법으로서 본 논문에서는 4차선의 주차로와 2차선의 소방로로 이루어진 교차로에서 주차로의 교통량이 많을 경우, 차로에서는 녹색불이 지속되어 교통의 흐름을 원활하게 해주며, 소방로에서 차량이 일정량 증가하게 되면, 주차로의 신호등이 적색등을 바꾸어 소방로의 차량이 교통되도록 하는 지능형 교통체계에 대해 VHDL을 이용하여 지능형 신호체계 시스템을 설계하였다.

Pseudomonns putida BCNU171 had the tolerant ability to several other organic solvents headed by toluene and xylene. Several mutants were made by mating of BCNUl71, pJFF350 to clarify the structure tolerance gene related. From this mutants the 7 of mutants related with toluene sensitive mutants were selected. pBCNUT-2, pBCNUT-4, pBCNUT-9 was transformed, and from this separated plasmid DNA sequences the gene having high homology was searched. In the case of toluene sensitive mutant it was todX gene (pBCNU4) related with cell membrane, ttgE gene (pBCNU2, pBCNU9) and ttgF gene (pBCNU2, pBCNU9).

This paper addresses the outlines of the traffic signal timing principles engaged in TRACS and the results of field test. Research team, encompassing research institute, university, and electronic company, conducted the three-year project for developing the new system, named TRACS(Traffic Adaptive Control System). The project was successfully completed in 1994. TRACS aims at accomplishing the objectives of better traffic adaptability and more reliable travel time prediction. TRACS operates in real-time adjusting signal timings throughout the system in response to variations in traffic demand and system capacity. The purpose of TRACS is to control traffic on an area basis rather than on an isolated intersection basis. An other purpose of TRACS is to provide real-time road traffic information such as volume, speed, delay , travel time, and so on. The performance of the first version of TRACS was compared to the conventional TOD control through field test. The test result was promi ing in that TRACS consistantly outperformed the conventional control method. The change of signaltiming reacted timely to the variation of traffic demand. Extensive operational test of TRACS will be conducted this year, and some functions will be enhanced.

신호화 교차로는 한정된 시간 자원을 각 접근로별로 서로 다른 수요에 적절하게 효과적으로 배분함으로써 그 운영효율이 극대화될 수 있다. 현재 서울시 기존 전자신호시스템은 검지기체계를 갖추고 있으나 주로 시간대별 제어방식(TOD제어)을 사용하고 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 실시간 교차로신호제어시스템인 이른바 첨단신호시스템이 개발되어 서울시 강남지역 61개소에서 시범운영중에 있다. 첨단신호시스템은 접근로별 수요에 따라 녹색시간을 배분하는 방식을 적용하고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 첨단신호시스템의 운영효율성을 평가하기 위하여 실제 교통수요와 운영녹색시간을 비교·분석하였다. 그 결과로 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 방출차량에 의한 포화도의 비율을 고려하여 주기 및 녹색시간을 결정하는 첨단신호제어시스템의 알고리즘은 비포화시 직진이동류에 대한 녹색시간은 수요에 비해 과대산출운영되고 있다. 둘째, 좌회전의 경우 대기차량의 패턴이 불규칙할 때, 실시간 녹색시간제어기능이 미흡하다. 따라서, 향후에는 교통수요를 고려할 수 있는 알고리즘의 보다 심도있는 연구·개발이 요구되며, 또한 비포화 상황이 아닌 과포화 상황에도 적용될 수 있는 알고리즘의 개발이 이루어져야할 것으로 보인다.

We describe dried oriented films with anisotropic structural and optical properties prepared from the aqueous solutions of plank-like molecules, the so-called Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystals (LCLCs). The dried LCLC films may be used as optical elements, such as polarizers, compensators, color filters, or retardation plates in the UV, visible, or infrared parts of spectrums. The optical quality of the films is determined by the uniformity of the molecular alignment, which often distorted by periodic variations of the director field. We describe different ways to improve the alignment properties of the films by using additives. We present compositions capable of polarizing effects in visible and UV parts of spectrum.

Automated vehicles (AVs) are coming to our roadways. In practice, there are still several challenges that can impede the AV sensors are polluted on various road conditions. In this paper, we propose a strategy for V2E performance assurance technology using Kano model. We are developing the vehicle sensor cleaning system about the three types of commonly used sensors: camera, radar, and LiDAR. Surveys were carried out in 30 AV's experts on quality characteristics about V2E performance assurance technology. As a result, the Kano model developed to verify a major requirement of autonomous vehicle's sensor cleaning system. It is expected that the Kano model will be actively used to verify the importance of V2E development strategy.

There have been a lot of efforts to find more accurate evaluation methods for traffic signal control effectiveness for a long period of time. Nowadays a newly advanced method called HILSS, 'Hardware-in-the-Loop-Simulation System', is used to evaluate the overall traffic control's effectiveness including physical control environments like communication conditions, hardware performance, controller's mechanical operations and so on. In this study, an Online-HILSS model has been developed, which runs on CORSIM(5.0) micro traffic simulation model on-lined to COSMOS. For the verification of the model, three tests are performed as follows; (1) a comparison of TMC's timing plan with the simulated green interval, (2) as a case study, a delay distribution comparison of the online simulation with the CORSIM stand-alone simulation. The result of the first test shows that the model can run the simulation green interval by TMC's timing plan correctly. The result of second test shows that the online simulation of the model brings the same simulation results with the CORSIM offline simulation in case of the same timing plan. These results mean that the online evaluation model could be a reliable tool to measure a real-time signal control effectiveness of a wide area street network with the HILSS method.

The aim of this research is to develop a signal control algorithm using internal metering to minimize total delay that vehicles go through, in case a network is oversaturated. To calculate total delay on the network, the authors first detect vehicles' arrivals and departures in the network through the detecting system, and chase the vehicles' flow in the links with a platoon dispersion model. Following these, the authors calculate the queue length in all the inks of the network through the chase of vehicles, deduce the stopped time delay, and finally convert the stopped time delay to the approach delay with a time-space diagram. Based on this calculated delay, an algorithm that calculates the level of the internal metering necessary to minimize the deduced approach delay is suggested. To verify effectiveness of this suggested algorithm, the authors also conduct simulation with the micro-simulator VISSIM. The result of the simulation shows that the average delay per vehicle is 82.3 sec/veh and this delay is lower than COSMOS (89.9sec/veh) and TOD (99.1sec/veh). It is concluded that this new signal control algorithm suggested in this paper is more effective in controlling an oversaturated network.

In Korea, older pedestrian accounted for 57% of all pedestrian deaths although a ratio of older pedestrian accidents to total pedestrian accidents was only 25.9%. Though ageing population problem becomes more challenging for road safety, little is know about the behaviour of older pedestrian's behaviour. This study aimed to identify road crossing behaviour of older pedestrian at three-lane unsignalized crosswalks using video image analysis and to compare the behaviour of older pedestrian to younger one by indicators including approaching speed, the number of walking steps and other factors. The results showed that there was a difference of approaching time at kerb, waiting time at kerb, the number of glances at kerb, and the number of glances at crossing between two groups under the situation of car approaching to crosswalks. It also showed that older pedestrian usually spent 1.16 times more than younger pedestrian to walk across the crosswalk with only 84.4% of walking speed of younger pedestrian. The number of steps of older pedestrian for road crossing was 1.12 times higher with 90% shorter steps than younger pedestrian. It was concluded that older pedestrian usually decided to walk across in case of 1.67 times longer headway than younger pedestrian's decision. These results could be applied in road and facility design for better safety of older pedestrians.
