  • The traffic vulnerable, including elderly pedestrians, have a relatively low walking speed and slow cognitive response time due to reduced physical ability. Although a smart crossing system has been developed and operated to improve problem, it is difficult to operate a signal that reflects the appropriate walking speed for each pedestrian. In this study, a neural network model and a multiple regression model-based traversing speed estimation model were developed using image information collected in an area with a high percentage of traffic vulnerability. to support the provision of optimal walking signals according to real-time traffic weakness. actual traffic data collected from the urban traffic network of Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do were used. The performance of the model was evaluated through seven selected indicators, including correlation coefficient and mean absolute error. The multiple linear regression model had a correlation coefficient of 0.652 and 0.182; the neural network model had a correlation coefficient of 0.823 and 0.105. The neural network model showed higher predictive power.

  • Damage estimation of a bridge structure is presented using ambient vibration data caused by the traffic loadings. The procedure consists of identification of the modal properties and assessment of the damage locations and severities. An experimental study is carried out on the bridge model subjected to vehicle loadings. Vertical accelerations of the bridge deck are measured at a limited number of locations. The modal parameters are identified from the free vibration signals extracted using the random decrement method. Then, the damage assessment is carried out based on the estimated modal parameters using the neural networks technique. The identified damage locations and severities agree reasonably well with the inflicted damages on the structure.

  • This paper provides a method for compression transmission of on-chip bus data. As the data traffic on on-chip buses is rapidly increasing with enlarged video resolutions, many video processor chips suffer from a lack of bus bandwidth and their IP cores have to wait for a longer time to get a bus grant. In multimedia data such as images and video, the adjacent data signals very often have little or no difference between them. Taking advantage of this point, this paper develops a simple bus data compression method to improve the chip performance and presents its hardware implementation. The method is applied to a Video Codec - 1 (VC-1) decoder chip and reduces the processing time of one macro-block by 13.6% and 10.3% for SD and HD videos, respectively

  • Mobile IPTV lets mobile users transmit and receive multimedia traffic, such as TV signals, audio, text and graphics, through IP-based networks with the support of quality of service(QoS) and quality of experience(QoE), mobility and interactivity [1]. To provide service feasibility, QoS and seamless mobility to mobile users, we consider mobility prediction, link stability, service requirements to develop resource reservation scheme in mobile IPTV environments. Thus, we study for mobility prediction and QoS-guaranteed mobile IPTV service prior to develop the resource reservation scheme.

  • For mobile wireless systems with full frequency reuse, co-channel interference near the cell coverage boundaries has a significant impact on the signal reception performance. This paper addresses an approach to efficiently mitigate the effect of downlink co-channel interference when multi-antenna terminals are used in cellular environments, by proposing a signal detection strategy combined with a system-level coordination for dynamic frequency reuse. We demonstrate the utilization of multi-antennas to perform spatial demultiplexing of both the desired signal and interfering signals from adjacent cells results in significant improvement of spectral efficiency compared to the maximal ratio combining (MRC) performance, especially when an appropriate frequency reuse based on the traffic loading condition is coordinated among cells. Both analytic expressions for the capacity and experimental results using the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) are used to confirm the performance gain. The robustness of the proposed scheme against varying operational conditions such as the channel estimation error and shadowing effects are also verified by simulation results.

  • LED(Light Emitting Diode) is a powerful device used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting as well as in traffic signals. This study is to propose a prediction system based on the degradation model of LED which is determined by combining scale and shape parameter. The degradation model is analysed goodness of fit test using calculated R-square, and is compared with previous models. A LED prediction system using degradation model is developed to automate estimations of degradation parameters and lifetimes.

  • An integrated optimal control modelhas been formulated to address dynamic freeway diversion control process. The purpose of this paper is to develop an effective and efficient approach for simultaneous]v solving optimal control measures, including on-ramp metering rates, off-ramp diversion rates, and g/C ratios for traffic signals, on a real-time basis. By approximating the flow-density relation with a two-segment linear function, the non-linear optimal control problem can be simplified into a set of piece-wised linear programming models and solved with the proposed SLP algorithm. consequently, an effective on-line feedback method has been developed for integrated freeway corridor control in the framework of the ITS

  • 교통신호에서 주로 고려되는 변수는 신호주기(cycle length), 녹색시간(green split), 옵셋(offset)그리고 좌회전 현시순서(left-turn phase sequence)로 구성된다. 기존의 대부분의 연동 모델들은 고정된 주기하에서 평균적인 유입 교통량을 측정한 후, 선형최적화 이론을 적용하여 최적 신호를 산출한다. 그러나 이 방법은 어디까지나 평균적인 데이터에 대해서 계산을 한 것이기 때문에 실시간 최적화를 제공하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 평균 차량 통행량 대신 실시간으로 입력되는 차량 대기행렬, 차량 도착률을 기초로 대기차량을 최소화하는 동적 신호시간 산출 모델을 개발하였다. 본 모델에서는 Peytechew가 제안한 각 진입로에서의 대기 차량 예측 모델을 기초로 하여 다음 주기에서의 차량 대기 행렬을 예측한 후, 선형 최적화 이론을 적용하여 신호시간을 산출한다. 본 모델에서 산출된 신호주기와 녹색시간은 대기차량길이를 최소화하는 신호 시간으로서 교차로간의 연동효과를 고려하여 실시산 교통상황에 따라 주기별로 변화한다. 본 모델은 3개의 교차로로 구성된 네트워크를 대상으로 적용하였다. 실험 네트워크의 주도로 교통량은 부도로의 교통량 보다 많다고 가정하였으며 각 링크사이에서의 차량 진출입은 없다고 보았다.

  • The design of truss type sign support structures is based on the guidelines provided by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Standard Specifications for Highway Signs, Luminaries and Traffic Signals and the American Institute of Steel Construction Design Specifications. Using these specifications, the column design strength is normally determined using the effective length approach. This approach does not always accurately address all issues associated with frame stability, including the actual end conditions of the individual members, variations of the loads in the members, and the resulting sidesway buckling for truss type sign support structures. This paper provides insight into the problems with the simplified design approach for determining the effective lengths and discusses different approaches for overcoming these simplifications. A system buckling approach, also known as a rational buckling analysis, is used in this study to determine improved predictions for design strength of truss type sign support structures.
