  • 경찰은 2005년 정지선 준수율 향상을 위하여 '정지선 지키기 생활화 운동'과 함께 정지선위반 단속을 수행하였다. 단속기간 동안 정지선 준수율이 향상되었으나, 단속기간 이후 정지선 준수율은 단속 이전 수준으로 회귀되어 캠페인 및 단속을 통한 정지선 준수율 향상 노력의 장기적인 실효성 문제가 지적되었다. 교통안전시설물(신호기) 설치위치 조정 등의 교통환경 개선을 통해 장기적이며 근본적인 정지선 준수율 향상 필요성이 공론화 되고 있으나 해당분야의 기초 연구가 부재하다. 본 연구는 신호기 설치위치에 따른 차량의 정지선 준수율 변화 여부를 분석 및 제시한다. 현장자료를 토대로 수행한 통계분석 결과 신호기 위치에 따라 정지선 준수율이 변화하며, 정지선으로부터 신호기까지의 거리가 $10{\sim}20m$일 경우 정지선 준수율이 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다. '교통신호기설치관리매뉴얼'에서 허용하는 신호기 설치위치 범위에 포함되는 정지선 하류 $10{\sim}20m$의 위치를 신호기 적정 설치위치로 제안한다.

  • This paper is implemented a control algorithm in order to be stable and minimized to entire train traffic system at delayed case. Signal ing system is described wi th algebraic equations given for train headway, Discrete-event simulation principles are reviewed and a demonstration block signaling model using the technique is implemented. Train congestion at station entrance for short headway operation is demonstrated and the propagation of delays along a platform of trains from any imposed delay to the leading train is also shown. A rail way signaling system is by nature a distributed operation with event triggered at discrete intervals. Although the train kinematic variables of position, velocity, and acceleration are continually changing, the changes are triggered when the trains pass over section boundaries and arrive at signals and route switches. This paper deals with linear-mode1ing, stability and optimal control for the traffic on such metro line of the model is reconstructed in order to adapt the circuits. This paper propose optimal control laws wi th state feedback ensuring the stability of the modeled system for circuits. Simulation results show the benefit to be expected from an efficient traffic control. The main results are summarized as follows: 1. In this paper we develop a linear model describing the traffic for both loop lines, two state space equations have been analyzed. The first one is adapted to the situation where a complete nominal time schedule is available while second one is adapted when only the nominal time interval between trains is known, in both cases we show the unstability of the traffic when the proceeding train is delayed following properties, - They are easily implemented at law cost on existing lines. - They ensure the exponetial stability of loop system. 2. These control laws have been tested on a traffic simulation software taking into the non-linearites and the physical constraints on a metro line. By means of simulation, the efficiency of the proposed optimal control laws are shown.

  • 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.

  • 해상교통관리는 통항방식의 설정, 교통량의 총량 규제, 교통류의 정류, 항행속력의 규제, 교통신호에 의한 관제. 항행지원정보의 제공 등 선박교통의 안전을 위해 실시되는 관리적 기술 수단이라고 정의할 수 있다 이러한 해상교통관리 수단 중에서 통항분리제도가 널리 이용되고 있지만, 통항분리를 통한 선박간의 마주침 감소 또는 소멸로 인한 선박조종자의 조선곤란성 완화효과에 대하여 검토한 연구는 거의 없다. 이 연구에서는 중앙선 표시가 없는 왕복수로에서 (1)수로중앙에 부표(buoy)를 설치하는 경우, (2)통항분리대를 설정하는 경우, (3)일방통항수로로 바꾸는 경우 등과 같은 교통관리 방안을 도입하는 경우, 수로를 항행하는 선박조종자에 부가되는 부하의 정도(조선곤란성)를 환경스트레스(Environmental Stress:ES)치라는 지표를 사용하여 그 효과를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 이 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 교통량이 동일한 조건에서 수로 중앙에 부표를 설치하면 선박조종자의 부하 값(허용 불가능한 값)이 약 23%. 통항분리대를 설정하면 약 32%, 일방 통항수로로 바꾸면 약 50%가 완화되었다. (2) 수로 폭이 동일한 경우 교통량이 적은 경우보다 교통량이 많은 경우가 부표 설치와 통항분리대 설정에 의한 통항분리 효과가 크게 나타났으며, 대형선일수록 각 교통관리 방안의 도입에 따른 조선곤란성의 완화 효과가 크게 나타났다. 또한 교통량이 동일한 경우 수로 폭이 넓은 경우보다 수로 폭이 좁은 경우에 대형선의 조선곤란성 완화 효과가 크게 나타났다. (3) 통항분리방식의 도입에 따른 효과는 수로 폭이 좁고 교통량이 많은 경우에 가장 크게 나타났다.

  • Using bi-direction SOA based Extension system, FTTH can enhance PON system by increasing both the upstream and downstream link budget. This increased link budget can be used to extend the distance, increase the split ratio or both. The bi-direction SOA regenerates signals using all-optical amplification, and is therefore transparent to data rate or protocol. The bi-direction SOA supports legacy as well as future FTTx standards. This is based on SOA's proprietary technology platform for the manufacturing of advanced discrete photonics and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Because the bi-direction SOA uses the same InP semiconductor technology used in virtually all telecom lasers, it is able to amplify signals at 1310 and 1490 nm, wavelengths not accessible with commercial fiber-amplifier (EDFA) technology. Due to the extremely fast response time of the InP semiconductor optical amplifiers inside, the SOA can accommodate both continuous (downstream) and bursty (upstream) traffic.

  • Whether a person is feeling sleepy or reasonably awake is important safety information in many areas, such as humans operating in traffic or in heavy industry. The changes of body signals have been mostly researched by looking at electroencephalogram(EEG) signals but more and more other medical signals are being examined. In our study, an electrocardiogram(ECG) signal is measured at a sampling rate of 100 Hz and used to try to distinguish the possible differences in signal between the two states: awake and drowsy. Practical tests are conducted using a wireless sensor node connected to a wearable ECG sensor, and an ECG signal is transmitted wirelessly to a base station connected to a server PC. Through the QRS complex in the ECG analysis it is possible to obtain much information that is helpful for diagnosing different types of cardiovascular disease. A program is made with MATLAB for digital signal filtering and graphing as well as recognizing the parts of the QRS complex within the signal. Drowsiness detection is performed by evaluating the R peaks, R-R interval, interval between R and S peaks and the duration of the QRS complex..

  • The common cycle time for the linded signals is usually determined for the critical intersecion, just because the cpacity of a signalized intersection depends on the cycle time. This may not be optimal since the interactions between the flow and the spatial structure of the route or the area are disregarded in this case. It is common to separate the total delay incurred at signals into two parts, a deterministic or uniform delay and a stochastic or random delay. The deterministic delays and the stochastic delays on the artery particularly related to signal cycle time. For this purpose a microscopic simulation technique is used to evaluate deterministic delays, and a macroscopic simulation technique based on the principles of Markov chains is used to evaluate stochastic delays with over flow queue. As a result of investigating the relations between deterministic delays and cycle time in the various circumstances of spacing of signals and traffic volume. As for stochastic delays the resalts of comparisons of the macroscopic simulation and Newell's approximation with the microscopic simulation indicate that the former is valid for the degree of saturation less than 0.95 and the latter is for that above 0.95. Newell's argument that the total stochastic delay on an arterial is dominated by that at or caused by critical intersection is certified by the simulation experiments. The comprehensive analyses of the values of optimal cycle time with various conditions lead to a model. The cycle time determined by this model shows to be approximately 70% of that calculated by Webster's.

  • This paper presents intermediate results of an on-going research for identification of the modal and the stiffness parameters of a bridge based on the ambient vibration data caused by the traffic loadings. The main algorithms consist of the random decrement method incorporating band-pass filters for estimation of the free vibration signals the cross spectral density method for identification of the modal parameters and the neural networks technique for estimation of the element-level stiffness changes. An experimental study is carried out on a scaled bridge model with a composite section subjected to various moving vehicle loadings. Vertical accelerations are measured at several locations on the girder. The estimated frequencies and mode shapes are found to be well-compared with those obtained from the impact tests. The estimated stiffness changes using the neural networks are found to be very good for the case with the simulated data. However the accuracy is found to be not quite satisfactory for the case with the experimental data particularly for the small value of the stiffness changes.

  • As a preparation of a design standard regarding road facilities, such as cantilever columns for traffic lights, street lights on highways is proposed. Currently these minor structures are designed based on guidelines which are mixed with multiple old foreign specifications without any criteria in terms of safety and economy, which could lead irregular safeties and the loss of national properties. In the considered two cases for effective projected area, it is found that following efficient way of design without critical analyses could make significant errors and miscalculations. Therefore, a fundamental research on the minor structures is urgently needed.

  • This paper describes a new optimization technique for the design of traffic signal patterns. The proposed method uses a Genetic Algorithm for searching through the better signal patterns. Since the Genetic Algorithm is effective to search directly through a huge binary coded state spaces, the proposed design method has the following advantages over the conventional OR methods: (1) on-line optimization is available within a reasonable time, (2) there is no limitation to the types of signals to be optimized. Some computer simulations are carried out and its ability of getting high quality control in a short period is demonstrated.
