  • A recent work by the authors has demonstrated the feasibility of scour evaluation for Kao-Ping-Hsi Cable-Stayed Bridge simply based on ambient vibration measurements. To further attain the goal of scour monitoring, a key challenge comes from the interference of several environmental factors that may also significantly alter the pier frequencies without the change of scour depth. Consequently, this study attempts to investigate the variation in certain modal frequencies of this bridge induced by several environmental factors. Four sets of pier vibration measurements were taken either during the season of plum rains, under regular summer days without rain, or in a period of typhoon. These signals are analyzed with the stochastic subspace identification and empirical mode decomposition techniques. The variations of the identified modal frequencies are then compared with those of the corresponding traffic load, air temperature, and water level. Comparison of the analyzed results elucidates that both the traffic load and the environmental temperature are negatively correlated with the bridge frequencies. However, the traffic load is clearly a more dominant factor to alternate the identified bridge deck frequency than the environmental temperature. The pier modes are also influenced by the passing traffic on the bridge deck, even though with a weaker correlation. In addition, the variation of air temperature follows a similar tendency as that of the passing traffic, but its effect on changing the bridge frequencies is obviously not as significant. As for the effect from the alternation of water level, it is observed that the frequency baselines of the pier modes may positively correlate with the water level during the seasons of plum rains and typhoon.

  • This paper used big data and artificial intelligence technology to predict the rapidly increasing internet traffic. There have been various studies on traffic prediction in the past, but they have not been able to reflect the increasing factors that induce huge Internet traffic such as smartphones and streaming in recent years. In addition, event-like factors such as the release of large-capacity popular games or the provision of new contents by OTT (Over the Top) operators are more difficult to predict in advance. Due to these characteristics, it was impossible for an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to reflect real-time service quality management or traffic forecasts in the network business environment with the existing method. Therefore, in this study, in order to solve this problem, an Internet traffic collection system was constructed that searches, discriminates and collects traffic data in real time, separate from the existing NMS. Through this, the flexibility and elasticity to automatically register the data of the collection target are secured, and real-time network quality monitoring is possible. In addition, a large amount of traffic data collected from the system was analyzed by machine learning (AI) to predict future traffic of OTT operators. Through this, more scientific and systematic prediction was possible, and in addition, it was possible to optimize the interworking between ISP operators and to secure the quality of large-scale OTT services.

  • To provide a seamless network to customers, Internet service providers must promptly detect and control abnormal traffic. One approach is to shorten the traffic information measurement cycle. However, performance degradation is inevitable if traffic measurement servers merely shorten the cycle and measure all traffic. This paper presents a software architecture that can measure traffic more frequently without degrading performance by estimating the level of abnormal traffic. The algorithm in the architecture estimates the values of the interface group objects in MIB by using the IP group objects thereby reducing the number of measurements and the size of measured data. We evaluated this architecture on part of Internet service provider's IP network. When the traffic was measured 5 times more than before, the CPU usage and TPS of the proposed scheme was 7% and 41% less than that of the original scheme while the false positive rate and false negative rate were 3.2% and 2.7% respectively.

  • The paper presents a case study in which the structural condition assessment of the East Bay bridge in Gibsonton, Florida is evaluated with the help of remote health monitoring techniques. The bridge is a four-span, continuous, deck-type reinforced concrete structure supported on prestressed pile bents, and is instrumented with smart Fiber Optic Sensors. The sensors used for remote health monitoring are the newly emerged Fabry-Perot (FP), and are both surface-mounted and embedded in the deck. The sensing system can be accessed remotely through fast Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), which permits the evaluation of the bridge behavior under live traffic loads. The bridge was open to traffic since March 2005, and the collected structural data have been continuously analyzed since. The data revealed an increase in strain readings, which suggests a progression in damage. Recent visual observations also indicated the presence of longitudinal cracks along the bridge length. After the formation of these cracks, the sensors readings were analyzed and used to extrapolate the values of the maximum stresses at the crack location. The data obtained were also compared to initial design values of the bridge under factored gravity and live loads. The study showed that the proposed structural health monitoring technique proved to provide an efficient mean for condition assessment of bridge structures providing it is implemented and analyzed with care.

  • ADS-B is a newly developed air surveillance technology to address the consistently increasing air traffic needs. ADS-B attracts attention for replacing or complementing a conventional radar since ADS-B can provide more accurate position information with a shorter interval when compared to the radar. However, as ADS-B uses wireless data links on exchanging information between an aircraft and a ground ADS-B system, and uses protocols without integrity support on exchanging information within the ground ADS-B system, a system which can monitor the operational status of an ADS-B system is essential. In this work, we design and implement an ADS-B monitoring system capable of displaying air traffic situation that can show the comprehensive air traffic situation while monitoring the operational status of the ADS-B system. The implemented ADS-B monitoring system has been verified with a configured ADS-B ground system by displaying ADS-B surveillance data, radar surveillance data, and flight information after receiving live surveillance data of in flight aircrafts, and virtual flight information data.

  • For the realization of future intelligent transportation systems, fine-grained lane-by-lane traffic monitoring and control functionalities are among the most important technology barriers to overcome. To satisfy the accuracy requirement for traffic monitoring, a GNSS receiver network is designed. The designed receiver network consists of three different types of entities; reference server, broadcaster, and client. For deployment flexibility, all the entities utilize the international message standard RTCM SC-104 version 3.0. For fine-grained traffic monitoring, the client is designed to utilize position-domain carrier-smoothed-code filters to provide accurate vehicle coordinates in spite of frequent addages and outages of visible satellites. An experiment result is presented to evaluate the positioning accuracy of the proposed method.

  • Wireless network systems provide fast data transmission rates and various services to users of mobile devices such as smartphones and smart pads. Because many people use high-performance mobile devices, the use of real-time multimedia services is increasing rapidly. However, the preoccupation of resources by real-time traffic users is causing harm to other services-for example, frequent call interference, lowered service quality, and poor network performance. This paper suggests a resource allocation algorithm for effective traffic service support in a hybrid network. The main objective is to obtain an optimum value of data rates by comparing user requirements with the amount of resources that can be allocated. A new mechanism based on Adaptive-Quality of Service (QoS) and a monitoring system based on Queue-Aware are proposed. Adaptive-QoS supports effective resource control according to the type of traffic service, and the monitoring system based on Queue-Aware measures the amount of resources in order to calculate the maximum that can be allocated. We apply our algorithm to a test system and use Qualnet 4.5.1 to evaluate its performance.
