It is important to manage access control for secure ubiquitous applications. In this paper, we present an access-control system for executing policy file which includes access control rules. We implemented Context-aware Access Control Manager(CACM) based on Java Context-Awareness Framework(JCAF) which provides infrastructure and API for creating context-aware applications. CACM controls accesses to method call based on the access control rules in the policy file. We also implemented a support tool to help programmers modify incorrect access control rules using static analysis information, and a simulator for simulating ubiquitous applications. We describe simulation results for several ubiquitous applications.

Among marine accidents caused by bad weather, visibility restrictions caused by sea fog occurrence cause accidents such as ship strand and ship bottom damage, and at the same time involve casualties caused by accidents, which continue to occur every year. In addition, low visibility at sea is emerging as a social problem such as causing considerable inconvenience to islanders in using transportation as passenger ships are collectively delayed and controlled even if there are local differences between regions. Moreover, such measures are becoming more problematic as they cannot objectively quantify them due to regional deviations or different criteria for judging observations from person to person. Currently, the VTS of each port controls the operation of the ship if the visibility distance is less than 1km, and in this case, there is a limit to the evaluation of objective data collection to the extent that the visibility of sea fog depends on the visibility meter or visual observation. The government is building a marine weather signal sign and sea fog observation networks for sea fog detection and prediction as part of solving these obstacles to marine traffic safety, but the system for observing locally occurring sea fog is in a very insufficient practical situation. Accordingly, this paper examines domestic and foreign policy trends to solve social problems caused by low visibility at sea and provides basic data on the need for government support to ensure maritime traffic safety due to sea fog by factually investigating and analyzing social problems. Also, this aims to establish a more stable maritime traffic operation system by blocking marine safety risks that may ultimately arise from sea fog in advance.

Developed countries are operating an in-depth database in motor vehicle crashes nationwide. They do not rely solely on the police investigation reports that are responsible for motor vehicle crashes in each country but are developing into a useful database by expanding the categories of data through more indicators addition. In Korea, after implementing comprehensive measures to reduce traffic accident deaths in 2013, the medical centers participated in establishing the actual accident investigation system, which was called as the Korean In-Depth Accident Study (hereinafter KIDAS). This KIDAS database included more in-depth indicators as the types of accidents, types of vehicles, the injury severity, adequacy of safety devices, seating position of passengers. Although there are difficulties in establishing an actual accident investigation system including data collection due to various restrictions, if the system can cooperate with each other such as medical centers, insurance companies, police, fire and rescue services, towing companies, and car repair shops in the future, It would be expected to contribute to the development of safer vehicle, treatment system and traffic safety policy that lower the injury severity of occupant in the event of a motor vehicle crashes.

Some drivers cannot meet the standards for a full driver's license and many countries allow them to drive a vehicle as long as they can satisfy certain conditions. Korea has mainly issued conditional driver's licenses to the disabled only after supplementary devices are attached either in the vehicle or in their bodies. However, it is becoming important to issue a conditional driver's license to other types of drivers, including the elderly as the population ages in the country. This study aims at improving the current practice of issuing conditional driver's licenses by benchmarking various types of conditional licenses in other countries. In particular, various conditions such as time, space, driving speed, road type, vehicle type, and specific individual conditions are compared. Issuing a conditional driver's license to various types of drivers should be beneficial, not only to elderly drivers but also to drivers who cannot live without a vehicle.

In the study, planning indicator that should be considered in applying traffic calming technique was derived, and it was intended to analyze the importance of indicator that should most considered in planning traffic calming technique through AHP analysis on the basis of it. The result of planning indicator may be summarized by dividing into road section and crossing section. In road section, hump (0.35) for equipment stimulating reduction of speed, hump image/fort (0.31) for visual control equipment, and slalom type road (0.52) for chicane, and bollard (0.47) for blocking passing route are shown to be the most important and come before anything. In crossing section, signal indicator (0.33) for visual control equipment, rumble strip (0.44) for equipment stimulating reduction of speed, zigzag type road (0.65) for chicane, and blocking going straight at crossing (0.45) for blocking passing route are shown to be the most important and come before anything. The result of the study is judged to be used for basic material in applying traffic calming technique and establishing policy hereafter.

The Office for Government Policy Coordination announced in 2006, september that a scheme of pre-signal would show remarkable outcome to reduce traffic accidents. Therefore, the Ministry recommended applying preferentially the pre-signal scheme to enhancement projects for high accident frequency areas. In case that the suggested pre-signal was unilaterally introduced to the enhancement projects at intersections, it might rather cause a big trial and error in terms of traffic safety. Hence, on the basis of quantitative analysis, this study was to indicate a pre-signal's effectiveness to reduce the traffic accidents, to illustrate a trend of the accident type due to the pre-signal, and to introduce intersection type that could be appropriate for the pre-signal. The methodology adopted Comparison-Group Method which was developed by Hauer. Through this methodology, overall effectiveness to reduce the accidents is considered positive but individual effectiveness by intersection and by accident case was different. All cases of the accidents at small scale intersection demonstrated positive results to reduce its accidents, while in case of frontal collision and side-right angle collision out of the accident types, the installation of pre-signal rather caused a negative result increasing the accident in terms of the traffic safety. I hope that this study would be a useful reference for future development of the estimation of accident effectiveness. Thus, when the pre-signal is being installed in the big intersection, it is recommended operating the installation concerning carefully improvements about muliple aspects as traffic operation, traffic facility, human factor etc.

In an effort to increase the operational efficiency of highways, South Korea has been increasing its design speed recently. However, the use of higher design speed will also increase construction costs. Moreover, increasing the design speed is expected to have an impact on safety. Hence, there is a strong need to demonstrate that the benefits outweigh the cost of having a higher design speed. This study surveyed a sample of design engineers to determine their awareness of the consequences of increasing design speed and their assessment of the right design speed for an actual rural arterial. In addition to the survey, a case study of three recently upgraded highways was conducted to determine the changes in traffic volumes, speeds, travel times, and safety.

Since 'The Act on Private Investment of The Infrastructure' was established in 1994, private investment as well as government's investment in transport infrastructure has been active. However investment in transport infrastructure has more risks than others' due to uncertainty both in traffic volume and in construction cost. In the current appraisal procedure of deciding transportation infrastructure investment, instead of risk management, the sensitivity analysis considering only the changes of benefit, cost and social discount rate which are main factor affecting economic feasibility is carried out. Therefore the uncertainty of various factors affecting demand, cost and benefit are not considered in feasibility study. In this study the problems in current investment appraisal system were reviewed. Using Delphi technique the major factors which have high uncertainty in feasibility study were surveyed and then improvement plan was suggested in the respective of classic 4 step demand forecasting method. The range estimation technique was also mentioned to deal with the uncertainty of the future.

Rock drop obstacles on major roads in the border area in South Korea has been installed and operated to prevent and block the movement of enemy units. However, the increase in traffic volume due to the development of the border region causes many problems such as road traffic congestion due to rock drop, traffic safety, and impaired urban aesthetics. Therefore, this study aimed to provide guidelines for demolition and replacement facility installation for rock drop obstacles, which are differently applied to each unit, and to suggest the direction of the Ministry of National Defense's policy regarding maintenance cost for necessary rock drop obstacles required for operation. In this study, as part of a guideline study on the removal of rock drop obstacles and the installation of alternative facilities, a standard unit price was suggested for essential rock drop obstacles, so as to be used as judgment data when deciding whether to remove rock drop obstacles.

Recently, IT-centered convergence between different industries has undergone rapid expansion, accompanied by major advances in u-IT development and digital convergence. Notably, in the automotive-IT convergence sector, automotive sensors and electronic devices interact closely and intelligently with each other, thereby increasing driver safety and convenience and creating the optimal driving environment. This has led to the generation of value-added for the future-oriented automotive industry. Sensing technologies - which are used to monitor traffic situations and transmit correct information (or warnings) on the road traffic situation to car drivers, and to provide accurate information to road traffic controllers - represent both the birth of high-safety, intelligent automotive technologies and the key to automotive manufacturing. In view of these developments, this paper examines the characteristics and structure of the automotive sensor industry, and outlines the policy implications for the automotive sensor industry with regard to the development of the automotive-IT convergence industry.
