This study is to estimate the ventilation volume by the traffic that originated from driving automobiles for two tunnels (Kugi tunnel and Kumhwa tunnel) that adopted natural ventilation system among tunnels of Seoul, and on the basis of which, we estimated the ventilation velume at various conditions. With the result of the estimation, we will present the basic method that can be operated with the optimum condition for the ventilation system. Estimating the predicted ventilation volume in the tennel by the pollutant concentration, we used traffic volume and CO emission data by the automobile speed and CO concentration in the tunnel. And, when we estimated the traffic ventilation volume by natural and traffic ventilation force, we used traffic volume, automobile speed, tunnel area, automobile area data and so on. As the result of simple regression between predicted ventilation volume and traffic ventilation volume, we attained the regression coefficient 0.88, and achieved the relation form that predicted ventilation volume equal 0.12x traffic ventilation volume-92, 000. Using this equation, we estimated the ventilation volume to satisfy the enviromnental standards of several space, and calculated the required volume for mechanical ventilation. Incase of Kumhwa Tunnel, there is a need of mechanical ventilation all day long to satisfy air quality standard 9 ppm for 8 hours average and 10 ppm for the indoor air quality standard of public facilities.

This study measured and compared the variation of ventilation rate and fan energy consumption according to various control strategies after installing wireless sensor-based pilot ventilation system in order to verify the applicability of demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) strategy that was efficient ventilation control strategy for underground parking lot. The underground parking lot pilot ventilation system controlled the ventilation rate by directly or indirectly tracking the traffic load in real-time after sensing data, using vehicle detection sensors and carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) sensor. The ventilation system has operated for 9 hours per a day. It responded real-time data every 10 minutes, providing ventilation rate in conformance with the input traffic load or contaminant level at that time. A ventilation rate of pilot ventilation system can be controlled at 8 levels. The reason is that a ventilation unit consists of 8 high-speed nozzle jet fans. This study proposed vehicle detection sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (VDS-DCV) strategy that would accurately trace direct traffic load and CO sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (CO-DCV) strategy that would indirectly estimate traffic load through the concentration of contaminants. In order to apply DCV strategy based on real-time traffic load, the minimum required ventilation rate per a single vehicle was applied. It was derived through the design ventilation rate and total parking capacity in the underground parking lot. This is because current ventilation standard established per unit floor area or unit volume of the space made it difficult to apply DCV strategy according to the real-time variation of traffic load. According to the results in this study, two DCV strategies in the underground parking lot are considered to be a good alternative approach that satisfies both energy saving and healthy indoor environment in comparison with the conventional control strategies.

In the present study, flow characteristics inside a road tunnel are simulated for the ventilation flows due to jet fan system and flows induces by the traffic. Traffic ventilation is numerically simulated by multiple reference frame. From the results of steady state simulation of tunnel ventilation, it is found that the proper ventilation is achieved by the designed jet fan system along with ventilating flow induced by the traffic. A transient simulation is also performed for the case of vehicle fire in the tunnel reversing the direction of rotation of some fans. The results suggest that the heat and smoke can be controlled by the proper changing of fan operation mode. The present results can be used to design proper ventilation system and effective smoke control system as well.

In the present study, the transient axi-symmetric numerical simulation of traffic ventilation induced by a train running through a 15.6km-long tunnel is performed by using over 100,000 computational cells. With train running, three cases of ventilation schemes are simulated, which are the case of ventilation fans turned on, the case of no fan but ventilation shafts open, and the case of no fan and no shaft. Results of the ventilation flow rate are pressure transients are compared for the cases considered.

In automobile highway tunnels, in order to maintain a suitable environment for drivers and traffic, visibility in the tunnel must be maintained, and the concentrations of poisonous substances including carbon monoxide must be kept at or below allowable levels. For this reason, in long tunnels and tunnels with heavy traffic, ventilation facilities are installed. When the ventilation facilities are run at full capacity, the environment in the tunnel is obviously adequately maintained, but this consumes a great deal of electric power. Consequently, a central problem in highway tunnel ventilation control systems is to keep the pollution concentration at or below the allowable level, and thus provide a safe environment for traffic, while consuming as little electricity as possible. This paper introduces an operation method of longitudinal flow ventilation systems with jet-fan, dust collector and vertical ducts.

This paper investigates the ventilation characteristics in a two-dimensional underground network junction composed of four main lines interconnected by eight ramps. Simple one-dimensional models cannot be applied to network junctions since there are interferences of traffic piston effects in the main lines and at the ramps. A numerical algorithm was developed to analyze the pressure and airflow distributions iteratively. The Darcy-Weisbach equation was used to calculate the piston effects by traffic flows, and a Hardy Cross iteration was conducted for network analysis at the interconnected junction. The results show interesting ventilation characteristics and CO concentration distributions depending on system parameters such as vehicle speed, tunnel diameter, and other junction configurations.

종전 환기설계기준에 따르면 전속도(10~80 km/h)를 대상으로 환기검토를 수행하였다. 이는 원활시 및 지체시 상황을 모두 고려한 환기계획이며 도심터널 등에서는 합리적인 방법이다. 그러나 최근 지방부 고속도로의 터널은 교통량이 낮고, 지체발생빈도가 매우 낮기 때문에 지정체를 모두 고려하여 환기계획을 수행하는 것은 다소 불합리성이 있다. 따라서 적정 환기계획을 위해 원활교통과 지체교통을 구분할 필요가 있으며, 교통류의 지정체에 따른 지정체 판별식을 개발할 필요성이 제기된다. 본 연구에서는 합리적 환기계획을 위해 지정체 여부에 따른 환기검토 제외속도를 결정하고자 하였다. 먼저 국내 고속도로상 지정체 교통량을 조사하고 지정체 원인을 분석하였다. 그리고 '여유속도' ($u-u_m$) 개념을 도입하여 지정체 판별모델을 개발하였으며 대상터널에 대한 그 적용성을 분석하였다. V/C 비율에 따른 환기검토 제외속도 분석결과, 설계속도 100 km/h 일 경우 V/C 가 0.1 이하일 경우는 40 km/h 이하, V/C 가 0.35 이하일 경우는 30 km/h 이하, V/C 가 0.6 이하일 경우는 20 km/h 이하, V/C 가 0.75 이하일 경우는 10 km/h 이하에서 환기검토 제외가 가능하였다.

The main topic of this paper is to show a possibility of indoor air quality enhancement and the fan energy savings in underground parking facilities by applying the demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) strategy based on the real-time variation of the traffic load. The established ventilation rate is estimated by considering the passing distance, CO emission rate, idling time of a vehicle, and the floor area of the parking facility. However, they are hard to be integrated into the real-time DCV control. As a solution to this problem, the minimum ventilation rate per a single vehicle is derived in this research based on the actual ventilation data acquired from several existing underground parking facilities. And then its applicability to the DCV based on the real-time variation of the traffic load is verified by simulating the real-time carbon monoxide concentration variation. The energy saving potentials of the proposed DCV strategy is also checked by comparing it with those for the current underground parking facility ventilation systems found in the open literature.

양방향 터널 (대면통행 터널)에 있어 방향별로 동일한 차속을 기준으로 터널환기를 분석하는 방법은 터널내 교통환기력을 거의 동일시하는 문제점을 내포하므로, 실제 양방향 터널에서 발생하는 다양한 조건들을 반영할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 터널환기 계획시, 양방향 차속의 불균등성 영향 분석을 목표로 하였으며, 차등차속의 영향을 환기계획에 고려하기 위하여서는 (1) '고속-지체' 시의 경우, 높은 차속에서의 매연의 허용기준을 적용할 필요가 있으며, (2) 교통량의 적절한 중방향비율의 선정 및 (3) 적절한 차등차속차이의 단계를 결정할 기준마련 등의 필요성이 제기된다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 국내 양방향 터널의 환기설계시, 동일차속과 차등차속을 적용한 경우의 환기설비 규모 차이를 비교 분석함을 목적으로 한다.
